Noticed this as well, what I do (and seems to work) is waiting before unlocking my 'stone untill the prepare SD card icon is gone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I tried to do that. To no avail. :(

I even gave my phone 10minutes after boot up one time, when I unlocked... Bam! layers of FC windows.

My current band aid solution is to perform a hot reboot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Wow, lucky I don't have that problem!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
I experienced the same problem and need to reboot (sometimes twice) to make it mount properly.

Anyone success in converting ext2 to ext3 to ext4 under FroyoMOD 2.6.1?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Zarrick19:
2D gallery problem solved :D I really dont know that in the download link is the new 2.6.1b because its named 2.6.1 :D So I was running on the 2.6.1 :D Okay, okay ... :D

Answer - whats the difference between installing apps to the SD Card and installing apps to the ext partition ? Whats the difference between those partitions (ext2, ext3 atc. ...) ?

EXT2 finally working....

hi Sileshn

It seems with this rom my APP2EXT is working finally. When the performance of rom started increasing and with JIT OFF I started getting 100mb free space I was suspicious, so ...

1) Switched off Milestone and removed sdcard

2) Inserted SDCARD in external cardreader CONNECTED TO PC, and executed "EASEUS Partition Master Personal Free" on pc.

3) HOVERED MOUSE on EXT2 partition and it showed 55mb used

4) So right-clicked on EXT2 partition and selected EXPLORE PARTITION option

5) Now I could see all folders inside as mentioned in SCREENSHOT attached.

Could not see any file due to free version. but I am happy that the app is working with better performance.

PUTTING above into STEP BY STEP METHOD with screenshot, so other newbies can easily handle partitioning and verifying and picture tells a lot boss.

Thanks to you and luca...

EDIT NOTE: I SUGGEST EVERYONE TO CREATE EXT2/EXT3 PARTITION BEFORE THE ROM IS FLASHED. If its new EXT2 partition the new apps will automatically go to EXT2 volume only from now on. If you do not format EXT2 and install new version of rom all the existing APPS on EXT2 partition will get automatically installed and you can see all app icons in home after new rom is flashed. At least this happend when I upgraded from 2.6.1 to 2.6.1b. Most apps appeared automatically. So that;s the benefit... WOW.

EDIT2: a quick search about EXT2 vs EXT3, in google shown some simple quick facts HERE which I have attached as image. I have manually added some plus and minus marks in image. OVERALL EXT2 IS BETTER FOR SPEED AND SPACE. May be EXT3 is technically better than EXT2 but it can slow down our poor milestone, and exactly we dont want that, right?

I hope with this information I helped at least some newbies to create/format EXT2 partition with no extra linux commands on windows platform. At least it helped me a lot. And yes, a working solution now.:D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gpw11:
Update working well, save for some of the same Google Maps freeze/FC problems. Nevertheless, great job.

Now does anyone have any suggestions for a replacement for the stock camera app in the rom?

QUESTION: how do you feel? This last version of Froyomod compared to CM7 RC4?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abazel:
Weird... after a half an hour of using FroyoMOD my touchscreen started acting weird ("ghost touch")... Tried factory reset, gone back to CM6.1.2 and Even Eclair stock (both from nandroid backup and RSD Lite) and it didn't work! Still trying to figure out what the heck is happening. :( Anyway, I love the way the windows pop up, I like that it's but I hate that my digitizer is not working anymore (may be a coincidence)!!! Anyway, keep up the good work! :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kiattivikrai:
The 2.6.1b is very good in performance and battery life, many many thank !
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gpw11:
I found this awesome as well, but after changing the theme to Smoked Glass, the effect disappeared. Any way to combine the two?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Those funky flying animations are gone in the GB Theme too. (Which is wierd cause I thought they were GB animations in the first place.)

Sent from my Milestone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Well, that's because Luca probably forgot to copy the animation files from the original framework files. There is a workaround for that. The procedure would be as follows.

1. Copy the animation xml files from /res/anim folder in the framework-res.apk from the original zip file ( 2.6.1b file ) to your desktop.

2. Next replace the same files in the framework-res.apk in the theme zip files with those on your desktop.

3. Flash the theme again after wiping dalvik/cache.

Winrar is a good application for this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kotamax:
may i know which icon is the buggy one?

coz i modify the theme for personal use and i dun want to do it over again...

thx
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kotamax:
ohh anther question btw

I do not get GPS signal :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
If you are not much into linux and want to format sdcard in EXT2/EXT3 format on windows pc, read THIS POST and THIS POST (just ten post above).

Some of these kinds of wierd issues and reboot issues are solved with DSI Error Fix availablable in 1st/2nd post. Try applying it. I have flashed this fix immediately after rom is flashed and then rebooted device.

Do not forget to wipe data and dalvik cache and all other folders in SDCARD created by previous roms. Keep it clean and keep only your personal data folders. Folders previously stored with apps can also cause problems after rom is flashed.

If still there is a problem, download the whole rom again from another mirror. Sometimes slow download can cause corrupted download.

Otherwise I can say now, THIS ROM DOES NOT HAVE ANY ISSUE, EXCEPT GPS.

btw, thanks for your comment in other post. dont worry no hard feelings.

Yes, the gps is completely not working in this version.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I wouldn't say that it "completely does not work". It's just... challenged. :)

Back in CM6 and CM7, I could get a GPS fix even from inside my room. With the FroyoMod, I can't do that anymore. But, I can still get a pretty good lock once I am outside.

Btw, I tested using the provided fixes by Luca for GPS, versus just entering your countries ntp server in Fasterfix. I got quicker locks using the Fasterfix method. Maybe because Luca uses continents where as you can lock your country with Fasterfix.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Can someone please check these two themes? Or at the very least, the rEVOlution one please.

Uhmm... sileshn, if you have the time. :o

Hi Luca. Seeing that Kabaldan has released a new build to address:

The possible mount failure of the EXT partition. (As evident in cold boot FCs)

The incorrect CPU freq statistics. (As evident in SetCPU)

May those fixes be integrated in a version 2.6.2 maybe? :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
What is the problem?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
@sileshn this is the problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
I meant the exact error. Boot loop, error while applying etc.

Can anyone link me to the GB theme without the calendar error. I can then port the bugless revolution theme.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
@sileshn Here :D I didn't try the themes but I'm answering for salisbury x) so you can answer to him faster.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Thanks for answering in my behalf n3n00! :D

Ok, the GB theme that I'm currently using does not have the big "+" anymore. Got it from Luca's 4shared.

The rEVOlution (please prioritize that instead of BuglessRevolution) theme that I tried is also in the same 4shared folder.

As for my error, AOR would actually not let it install. The error message is simply lines saying "installation aborted", below it, it would say "(bad)".

Hope that helps silesh.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
It looks like a corrupted upload. I cannot extract the contents of the zip file. It ends with a corrupted archive error. I will try porting it from the original, but only tomorrow,
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kotamax:
thanks for your advise but sometimes i want to reset my device without a computer and therefore i need to wipe the EXT2 partition in OR (i hv it already on my card, i just need to clear it)

can i do this with parted?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
That is perfectly fine silesh. I'm just asking for a favor here. :) If anything, I hope Luca would upload the corrected file instead. Least effort scenario.

Just tried 2.6.1b really quick, too - set the GPS to Europe via the GScript Luca included in the FroyoMod Extra Settings...

couldn´t get a fix AT ALL, even though there were at times 6 satellites available (clear sky too and i was out on the balcony)...

how come this is working for some, and not AT ALL for others??

so weird... GPS issue is really the only thing that seriously bothers me at the moment.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thehaunted:
I have the same issue.

Hoping for 3.0.....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
internal gps issue in froyomod 2.6.x

JUST AN OBSERVATION ABOUT GPS ISSUE:

Was continuously using these rom 2.6.0, 2.6.1 and then 2.6.1b since 2/3 weeks and more and was struglling a lot to find a GPS solution after luca declared that gps problem in solved in 2.6.1b all of our hopes went high, but still got same GPS issue. Already was tired of changing values in gps.conf either manually or by FASTERFIX but all in a vain. As I am from india listened to someone saying "change to ASIA.POOL.NTP.ORG" or other one saying to change to IN.POOL.NTP.ORG" but literally nothing helped.

Finally I was getting scared and suspicios about my own gps hardware, hence to clear my doubts, I decided to try the already used, famous SMBR biuld6, and gave it a shot. MY GOD, AS SOON AS I OPENED GPSTEST there were at least 8 satellites appeared instantly in 5 seconds and all locked at once. Not in open sky but at the window of my house. THAT WAS AMAZING and got a big relief to confirm that my GPS is not bricked or damaged.

My actual observation is this >>> I was surprised to see sats locking in no minutes so when I checked the value in gps.conf with FasterFix I found following line.

north-america.pool.ntp.org

<<< this was further shocking to me as I am in India but above value did not make any difference to locking. This simply proves that we are wasting time in tweaking values in gps.conf, while actually there is some driver related bug or application bug in this rom and some investigation should be done in this regard too.

We have already spent so much time without GPS lock hence I an staying on SMBR b6 for some time which is outstangly fast, very responsive and almost no bugs or no DSI Errors (with DSI Error Fix). And now I think I will only update further to....SMBRb8, if it comes in future without any bugs. So see you all...

I'm getting 11/12 sattelites with Cronos Ginger 1.2.0 :D. From the middle of the apartment.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thehaunted:
Iam staying loyal with Luca.

Applied the 2.5 "update" and all aps and settings work ok.

This because my angry birds from Rio made the stone reboot...

(Fix dsi didnt help)

2.5 works fine (didnt test gps ;-))

So my wish is the performance and batt life from 2.5 incl a working gps and than the rom is finished!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iranterres:
The GPS issues remain unchanged for me as of the 2.6b1 update. In 2.5 itused to work like a charm...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
Hi:

I understand that maybe you are annoyed by the bug of GPS, and I can understand;

But there is no need to be so rushfull and angry, just change rom, or tell what you discovered, it not a beautifull thing at all to bash the work of someone who spent many many hours on it;

Thanks, and enjoy whatever Rom you want

@ALL

It's clear that the bug is not resolved at all...Someone have problem, other doesn't...

This is VERY strange...I cannot understand, I will try to resolve the problem, just be patient...I have also a real life to deal with, so the time to dedicate to the hardcoding is not much as before...

Bye all
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Take your time :D

This rom is one of the best I'd tried.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
As will5 said, this is still currently the best ROM for the Milestone that I see. So no worries.

Btw, a new XDA user, mile44, PM'ed me possible reasons why sd-ext wasn't mounting. As a lot of it is too deep for a non-coder such as me to understand, thought I'd share it here. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:

Btw Luca, silesh and I tried the BuglessRevolution and rEvolution themes in your 4shared. And we were both getting corrupted themes, possibly from a corrupted upload. May you please upload again?

the issue of FC at boot time becomes more serious today

i hot/cold rebooted a number of times and still i get the launcher FC (and sometimes loads of FC!) when the device boot up

it doesnt matter if i unlock the phone before or after the "preparing SD card" msg is gone

i am using the built-in app2EXT

does anyone else hv this problem too?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iranterres:
The only problem that I can see so far with loca's rom is this GPS thing... As for the rest, the rom is perfect, the most responsive of all mods i've seen so far, and also the fastest in loading times... WIth the GPS fixed, it will outclass all others.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kotamax:
well i moved the ADW launcher apk to /system/app

and the problem SEEMS to be a bit improved (though still loads of FC sometimes)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] chobit:
Error message is propmted after I install "widget locker", any ideas?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Yep, I get that too. However, a hot reboot always fix it always.

Kabaldan already placed fixes in his CM7 RC4.1 init.rc file. Let's hope Luca applies the fixes as well. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
I get this problem everytime i cold boot the device and sometimes i need to boot more than twice to get the ext mount properly. I know hot boot can shorten the time but I use Quickboot to hot boot which means it fails to open when ext not mounting after cold boot. Do I need to move Quickboot to system/app before next release to solve this problem? or other solutions out there?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eljuggy:
Hello,

I'm very glad with this rom, but I'd like to assign long press on search key to phone app... so that I can quickly pass a phone call without tapping too many times on my screen.

(I could do that in previous rom (ice and fire 2.3.3))...

In this rom I can only choose between "speech recognition" and "SMS/Text message"...

thanks !
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I guess I'm still lucky then. For some reason, quickboot still gets mounted 100% of the time for me. As for ADW EX, it sometimes fails, but the default FroyoMod launcher will always be there to provide for my emergency launcher needs.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
Dear Luca, With due respect to you for all the hours and hours of efforts spent for this really a very good fast rom, I say sorry, if you are hurt by my opinion to test other rom, which I did to check and confirm gps issue. I already mentioned due to long awaited gps problem, I wanted to know that if gps functionality my device is actually damaged or what. I also wanted you to notice that the gps.conf entries are actually not helping, the reason are something else. In fact we are pointing on some important issues so this rom might be improved and become bugless but you took it completely negative way. At least we are reporting the bugs as soon as possible doing so many rom experiments, which a common user would not do. Trust me, we are flashing your fom into our devices, coz we trust you. anyways thanks a lot for your efforts.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
Once your problem is understood and solved, you can remove this video from YouTube else, it will remain there forever, saying people not to flash to 2.6.1b. Hope you understood.

I have been exactly using the same way, I mean, I was using ADW Launcher EX installed and kept default and it was running well without any issue. I think, if the EXT2 partition is already existing on sdcard before flashing the rom, this error of sdcard loading can be avoided. dont know try again flashing with EXT2 (not tried with EXT3). Also check that both partitions should be Primary type. And be sure that Launcher or any system related apps should remain only in phone memory and not on sdcard, else if there is a delay of even a single second for loading sdcard, the apps stored on sdcard ext2 partition are bound to fail.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Kabaldan noted in the cm7 thread that gps.conf matters little and it's another file that has more of an effect.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
I think the GPS issue isn't related to gps.con or gpsconfig.xml anyway, since with ROMs like Ice and Fire, GPS works perfectly; copying both files from there into FroyoMOD, in my case has reported no improvements, so I think the issue has to be researched elsewhere..

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kotamax:
i can understand and will remove that when it is solved

the EXT2 partition was there before i flash 2.6.1b (it was there with 2.5/2.6 too!) and it is primary

and wt exactly is meant by "sys related apps"? cause at boot time many apps receive the system start event (as i observe in the list in "Autostart" app)

and when the EXT2 is failed to be mount all those apps got FC

moving all these app to the phone memory would probably render the apps2ext less meaningful i guess..

Maybe your phone doesn't stand the overclock... I've got the same problem especially when weather is hot...

Oh eljuggy, that's a brilliant idea, your post is so ;) ;) ;) :rolleyes: :rolleyes:! I'm so sure the creator of this rom will add the functionality...

In the meantime just get the app "Button shortcut" that allow to remap long press on camera and long press on search to any other app...
