Nice!

BTW, you need to update your signature! :P LOL
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnkberlin:
Dear 89luca89,

thanks again for a new version of the ROM. I have not had much time to test this, but I guess it is still the best ROM for the Milestone out there.

I will give more feedback soon, but I want to provide you with my findings so far:

1. It still takes about two minutes till I get a first fix using the gps, even after using FasterFix. It seems, that the gps is working, but is simply not assisted, i.e. no agps. Maybe it helps you to know, that I used the recent version of Cyanogen-Mod for the Milestone and it had no problems with the agps.

2. The Hardware-Keyboard is still missing word-completion.

I hope you can fix these in the next release.

On the positive side, I like the new stuff, espacially the new startup-screen and the possibility to disable JIT.

All the best and keep going!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Of course....

Wow... looks like you did some SuperCharging and Bulletproofing ;)

I wonder what the memfree settings are.

I'm guess something like 6, 8, 24, 30, 40 , 50

Heh... I think I'll give this a whirl :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lilmatt26:
I had the same problem and what fixed it for me was going to open recovery then going to the menu and scroll down to change baseband and installing telus and canada both zips then reboot
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Wond3r:
why would it benefit anyone to disable JIT?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
hi!

Yeah, this in reality is a revet, take the Foyomod 2.2 o 2.3 and you'll see :D Those ae the memory Killer set in the past :D and launche is bullettpoof fom v2 :D xD

But Thanks anyway for clarifiyng!

It will give much more memory free, anyway you can always enable it!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] linkandzelda:
Hello,

Just tried this ROM and it's amazing. Fastest yet and definitely best our of all ROMS today...

Well I came from CM7 RC3 2.3.3 so i applied the Gingerbread theme to this. It looks great and I really like it, just one thing. I was looking forward to those cool animations from the stock theme that's included with this ROM.

I'm new to this, so does anyone know how I can combine the two?

Thanks in advance,

Kris
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnkberlin:
Well, it was fast before, but now it is super-fast, espacially when compared to CM7. Great job!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
mmmh this is my fault, forgot to include it!

just take the animation folderr in framework-res.apk and put it in the themed framework-res.apk, push it in system set permissions and reboot!

I think that also CM6 is faster than CM7...CM7 is still beta (for All, not only for Mile) and also I do not think that gingerbread is well suitable for a 256mb RAM device without any swap expandability!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
If what you say is true, then:

1. It's pretty weird that you would move away from good settings then go back to them.

2. And

it's very misleading

to revert to old settings and claim that they are new settings that took you alot of work to figure out.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Wond3r:
You removed the picture frame widget?! (maybe called photo frame, i forget)

noooo

do you have an apk of it so I can reinstall it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
actually just download and see...

if you want your name in the topic its not a problem for me, i do not care (as I gave credits to ALL the users) but let me explain you:

the HOME_APP hack it's not mine, nor yours, but it's of Dexter that included it in his SENSE port to stop roise reloading, check and see if you want, I've introduced it in 2.0

the settings (OLD ONE are the same included in my scritp "set task killer to free 55mb" in Frroyomod script in /xbin

I reverted back to original settings because of the bug of phone not ringing, now I revert back to old settings (a little revised in fact are "new" cause I wanted to optimize them) cause that bug was not caused from the memory managment...

and also, LOT OF WORK is very different from LOT OF TIME...Testing is not hard, but long....

if you think I'm saying a lie, just donwload any rom, 2.4.0c has the home hack (it's quite old ni /system/etc/int.d/08kernelTweak- if you check, in 2.3 I have those memory settings iin the 08KernelTweak...introduced it in 2.0 r 2.1

also you can see the changelogs in the first post...

Just see if you do not believe me, if you want any other clarification, just PM me, I do not want to get dirty the thread, thanks

Just use 3d gallery, you can switch it in FroyoMOD Extras settings!

Fix to the DSI error

It seems we do have a fix to the DSI error now. You may consider release a quick patch for this? Thanks again for continuing the froyomod. Great rom.

https://github.com/nadlabak/android...mmit/e1bb339b133dd88389a4c3a80bad3a984d12db50
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
will try it and if work will release a quick patch!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I never disagreed.

But I'd rather not make a fuss about it or get all worked up for no good reason :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
Ok :D

I'm happy cause I really hate to quarrel :D

Now I'll test the Kabaldan fix! I do not have reboots from days when using Arabic kernel, but It's never enough the security :D

Will test
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
This MultiFrame widget looks cool https://market.android.com/details?id=dk.a04.android.multiframe&feature=search_result
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ifiuse:
can you change power widget's icons?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gsronald:
you can change into Gallery 3D, after that the photo frame will appear again!:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I'd like to start porting FroyoMOD to Milestone XT720. Any advice where I should start? We have 2.6.29-omap1 kernels, are those too old to be useful?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aekio:
Thanks man!

Finally, the waiting is over, I'm jumping to 2.6.0 with joy =).

Let see if the performance could get any better. Right now, I have trouble with the camera on 2.5.0, it always freezes and need to wait for awhile or force close. Hope the new version fixes this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joyo22:
I had the same problem with 2.5.0 but it seems to be fixed in this new release! Thanks luca! Keep working on it! It's the best ROM for Milestone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] linkandzelda:
Thanks for the reply, not to sound dumb but how would I go about doing that? :)

Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] slym84:
Wooohooo!!!!

Very excited to update to 2.6.0 but unfortunately, i've sent my MS for repair. will have to wait for 2-3 weeks till i get it back and get dirty with it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] drewx85:
Thanks for your work! :)

But I got a problem in calendar. There is a large orange '+' button which covered the whole first row in the calendar.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] era_:
If New JIT option = ON

The performance is better ?

You are my hero!

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Yriel40k:
Is a full wipe required?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Awesome

Simply superb.

After trying out stock rom, CM7 and Cronos, i flashed FroyoMOD after a long time.

Excellent work. The fastest and best of all roms available for milestone atm by some distance. Congrats.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Extract the framework-res.apk ( under /system/framework ) from the stock FroyoMOD zip file. Then extract the animation files from the /res/anim folder in framework-res.apk to your desktop. Copy the animation files to the same location in the framework-res.apk in the theme zip file.

Wipe dalvik / cache and apply the theme.

You can use winrar / 7zip to get this done.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I'm very interested in switching from CM7 (with app2ext) to FroyoMod.

Questions are...

1) after my full wipe, will my app2ext still be usable? I use the app2ext scripts from Goodwin. (and the tutorial from sileshn.)

2) If app2ext is compatible, will I see all my apps after the full wipe?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Yes, you should see all your apps once you activate apps2ext in FroyoMOD.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Another thanks to your sir sileshn. :) I'm concerned because although I see my app folder in /system/sd. I also still see them in /data/app. I thought there were interdependencies or something.

Perfect, I'll read up on FroyoMod and flash it in a couple of days. I've heard so many good things about it. Excellent work by the way Luca.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] meatmon:
Yes, I also see the same problem in 2.6. That orange button is too big to miss it. Any way to fix this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Uhmmm... by the way Luca, I'd recommend updating the date in the thread title. As far as I understand, v2.6 was released March 22 right?

(Having a fresh date will attract more people to this thread.)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
Mhh I had a big problem!

I was on 2.5.0 and I updated to 2.6.0 wiping nothing..

after that, everything works right, except that recharging is really slow!, and more than the slow speed, the problem is that the MS become really hot! On previous version, it remained cool.. I try now nandroiding to 2.5 and wiping!

But it's just me with this issue?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cucisan:
having the same problem with cm6 pre final... before i had froyomod 2.5 ... wondering whats causing this...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] RobyMax1:
Same problem with CM7. But only on the first charge...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
I had issues with the 3D gallery, when sliding through pics and videos it would crash and go back to the 1st pic.

Worked fine so far on 2.6.0.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
+1

Tested a lot of roms and FroyoMOD is my favorite. Best battery life, fast and very stable.

Thanks again, Luca!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenomorph150:
Same here.

The same error was already in the 2.5 Release but not with the organe + button, but with another element. Same error also shows up in the webbrowser if you click in the Google News App on a link and the browser starts up...

Also SMSDroid stopped working in the fact that my phone didn't told me that I got new SMS - which really is a bad thing. I try to get that working again somehow....

I don't really like the new design icons for the settings changing in the "Welcome Menu" (the pulldown menu for all the notifications) as they are bigger and not so nice as the old ones. And I thought there should be some possibilties to change and install more and less of these buttons!? (Maybe I'm wrong, sorry for that...).

And I don't need Facebook App at all preinstalled.

The new camcorder does force close upon opening.

In photo mode it seems to work, but changing into video mode does crash the whole thing within a second.

Allow light decrease within the FroyoMod Settings can't be enabled, but that didn't work for me in 2.5 neither.

The new boot logo is just nice and killer. Love it.

So at the moment, I'm not that happy, sorry.

I will let 2.6 some days on my mobile and will then revert to 2.5 eventually.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] RobyMax1:
Guys!!!

Ok, thanks a lot to Luca but it is not enough.

I say...at least A BEER FOR OUR ITALIAN COOK (I've just donated)!

Moreover, Without him, I'd spent money with other devices :""")

Thank you Luca, have a toast for us!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] linkandzelda:
Great thanks! I didn't know .apk files worked with 7zip etc. I'll give it a go thanks.

wifi?

edit: nevermind, I´m stupid - wifi was working fine all along, just my router had a minor heart attack apparently. my bad! ;)

Your themes completable with 2.6.0?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Phone does not ring during call

Does anyone have this problem. :confused:

I missed calls today because i didn't know the phone was ringing.

On 2.5 i had to change Vibrate to "Always", rings was ok then.

I Wanted to ask there is no battery Percentage when battery is Fully Charged..... can u plz fix this is next release..... need it(Please).......
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jet.fire:
Just updated..I don't seem to have a settings app. I don't have time to try to figure it out right now so I just reverted back to 2.5.0. Also the alarm clock is different I believe. In cyanogen when he changed the alarm clock app it didn't work anymore and I had to revert to an older app. I hope this isn't the case with this one.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lvcio:
???

Is this new version compatible with apps2ext2???

If so, How do i apply it? OR>3 wipes>apply rom.zip update>apply apps2sd_all.zip update thats is on the forums>reboot ??? Thats it right, all apps will be installed on ext2 partition???
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I've never tried a custom ROM other than CyanogenMod. Am I correct to assume that FroyoMod does not need a separate Gapps flash?

Edit: Sorry for the dumb question. I just opened the zip file, and I see the Gapps there. :p
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Nope. Its included.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joyo22:
There has never been battery percentage when fully charged. When there's no indication, it means it's fully charged (duh?). What do you need it for? It starts telling you when it's 90% or less...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Felven:
Hi guys!

I have some problem, I'm using FroyoMod since 2.5.0 version. And strange thing is sometimes the screen just stops, hangs, whatever you want to call it, and don't response to anything. I have to lock phone, wait few seconds, then unlock, at that moment I can see some strange 4-5 pixel bar at the bottom of the screen that looks like noise, it's hard to explain so I have a link for you (http://www.quasimondo.com/hydra/sineNoise2.jpg), and then I lock phone again, wait another few seconds, unlock it and it works normally, I really don't have any idea why it happens, but I never seen it while using CyanogenMod or stock Eclair.

Another thing is that sometimes without any reason the prompt comes out and tells me that my SD card was succesfully disconnected. Any ideas how I can prevent from happening?

Hope you'll help me.

EDIT:

this is pic from link

Regards,

Felven
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Have you tried doing the 3 wipes before upgrading? Reset to defaults...

Can't think of anything else.

BTW: I get a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access the pic.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Can apps2ext be installed on FroyoMod?

Any compatibility issues? Is there a guide?

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thedoginthewok:
Hey 89luca89,

thanks for the update, now it runs even faster and the multitasking is working betterb :)

I am using gingerbread theme, and I wanted to ask, if it is somehow possible to get back the original design of the power widget ? I really don't like the glowy green, that it uses now.

Maybe you can make an update.zip that restores the original design of the power widget only.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jet.fire:
Same thing happens for me to. No one that I know of has ever mentioned it in this thread though. Its one of the only reasons I want to go back to cyanogenmod

Sent from my Milestone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Felven:
I edited post for you, so you can actually see pic now, unless I hop so ; )

I always do 3 wpies before upgrading. And by reset to defaults you mean what? Wipe data?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Felven:
Uhhh, sorry for little offtop, but could you tell me about stability of newest cynaogenmod comparing to newest froyomod? It's far better?

EDIT: ARGH! made f**king mistake, two posts at the time. Sorry guys.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Yes, wipe data.

Sometime it's the last resort solution.

BTW: The pic is still inaccessible:

If you're going to read the posts in this thread you'll see a lot of users coming from CM7 and just like me being really impressed with FroyoMod.

You can try both and decide.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moviecut:
some say, the freezes have something to do with the DSI Errors. So try this fix:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12285050#post12285050

if thats the cause, this freezes must happen in all roms as it has something to do with the kernel....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moviecut:
@Luca: have you seen this thread? Maybe you can use these tweaks in your next version (if they arent already in...). Thank you so much!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] linkandzelda:
I noticed this rom sets the cpu to 900 MHz by default? Is it possible to change this and the vsel to something like 1000 MHz with 60 vsel?

The reason is i use Milestone Overclock to give me the 1000 MHz and 60 vsel but it does not autoload that on boot. So Is it possible to change these manually in this rom?

Thanks in advance,

Kris
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Edit the 10overclock file found in /system/etc/init.d folder. Root explorer is the safest bet for doing it. Reboot after changes.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] linkandzelda:
Thank you very much! I've changed it and rebooted, but CPU Tuner still reports 900 as the maximum i can set. Any idea on that? Or perhaps it is already at 1000.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moobe:
Hey there,

I am having poorer performance on 2.6 than 2.5, what gives?

and it takes more than 1 min to boot up my phone, and it takes a couple of seconds to take it out of standby. a couple of reboots.

Should I try to reflash it again? I did wipe dalvik cache
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pnkberlin:
I just tried again but as I allready reported it takes a very long time till the gps can first fix my position. I used FasterFix, but it didn't help.

As others said that this solved their problem and nobody else is complaining about gps-performance, I'm just wondering if I'm the only one who has this problem?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
No. You didn't do something correct. Attach you 10overclock file. I'll have a look.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] linkandzelda:
Well I edited one line the first time which is the first echo. Then i just went back to it and edited 3 lines which had 9 and changed every 9 to a 10...

No i'm stuck on an M bootup symbol lol. I'm gonna have to start again, or can i reflash the rom without wiping data? Seeing as i didnt change anything else except that file?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
In AOR you can mount USB so you can plug into your computer, edit the file and try again.

Oh wait, you edited the 10 overclock... that's why I like using AOR... I can mess around in there until it works LOL
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Yes. Wipe Dalvik / cache and apply.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] linkandzelda:
Ok I reapplied the zip file and all is good. So I have the file open do i edit the first and second echo?

Its currently "echo 56" and "echo 900000" with other lines following them.

But under that is the 5 settings which read 9 and 56 vsel. I changed them all last time but It didnt work so which do i change? :)

EDIT: I think i've done it I rebooted and it's now showing 1000 for CPU Tuner. Thanks guys!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
After 1 day of usage, and applied DSI fix as suggested by Sileshn (another one who's improving our MS everyday -> thanks to him!), I can just say that this is another masterwork! Best ROM out there, impressivly fast, reliable, GPS is fast, and everything works great!

Thanks again Luca!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
It seems that the camorder doesn't work....

Although It doesn't fc but after pressing stop, no videos are recorded:(

One stupid question...

how to add governors like interactive and smartass

can i install interactive governor through OR 3.3 ???
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
All governer modules are already available. Use SetCPU or CPU tuner to select your governer.

For smartass governer to work , add this line to your 10overclock file and reboot.

insmod /system/lib/modules/cpufreq_smartass.ko

btw, have any of you tried the latest opera browser ( ver. 11 ). Its is awesome. It flies even on the stock rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Was actually meaning to try Opera Mobile and/or Opera Mini again. But was too lazy to move away from Miren. lol.

Thanks for the tip sileshn. Might try that tonight. The feature that specifically placed me on Miren though, is it's support for Bookmark folders. (I just import an HTML file from Firefox Desktop.) Would you have any idea if Opera Mobile/Mini can support this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] yonexfreak:
have not used opera before..will do ;-)

BTW can anyone install QUICKPIC from the market? In the search screen it says ''free'' and if i want to install it, the button tell me to ''update'' ...and this fails with the message the file is not good ??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
I didn't find that in opera. The app is big in size, 12 MB.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
I just installed quickpic without any problems.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] yonexfreak:
thanks for testing.

For some reason i dont know there is probable somewhere a quickpic left-over on the system...

already checked /system/app and deleted all files/folders from SD-card..but still no luck

(strange enough there is also no quickpic program according the system)

shoot me :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
The FroyoMOD gallery is based on Quickpic, so you can avoid to install it..
