Nope you'll free the internal memory, BUT it will also remove possible apps that locks in memory even if unused (like new maps or facebook for example)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Basian Mile:
Something like that:

There is more to delete. But most of that is what i delete before updating.

Of course for some of that you need to replace them. A HomeLauncher for example.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
Just one question: what is missing in old Maps compared to new Maps? My Milestone begin to be slower especially when launching apps. Thank you :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sörnäinen:
3d stuff and places integration, nothing important at all.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
Thank you for fast answer! I never need those (these?) stuffs because I live in France therefore : no 3D city (Paris excepted). I will downgrade it :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sodan Tok:
and a possibility to download(pre-cache) map area for offline use i think (thats the reason why i cant downgrade - its impossible for me to use maps with FUP from 25MB/week to 100MB/month)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sörnäinen:
But there is that 4.6 version that is able to do that. It was discussed in this thread, just some pages ago. Would that help you?

I second that, i use built-in golauncher and advanced task killer with auto app-killing option as CRAZY with 1 hour duration. Generally I get 50 to 97mb. At an average I get 60+mb free, but when I run any heavy app like GOOGLEEARTH and when I close it, advanced task killer widget shows 97mb free and this is not any surprise. But 55 to 65 mb free space is common observation in most recent versions of FROYOMOD since long time. In fact whatever free RAM is there, here are no memory full message or no application lags or no hanging or FC (ForceClose). :) Thanks to luca and all memory tweakers in this forum.

Can you add to this another google maps useless service FriendService. I would personally add also vending as it's eat memory 99.99 % of the time doing nothing
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Gmail is the same. Doesn't serve any purpose to be constantly running in the background, mail will be synced by other services anyway.

//Edit:

What about Quickoffice, starts automatticly on boot and is cunsuming 19MB of memory without actually doing anything.

And Superuser, will be called anyway when an app needs it. No need to be running in the background.

word suggestion hw keyboard

hi all,

i got one question: does the word suggstion work if i use the hw keyboard?

gb roms doesn't support this function. is it here the same?

thx
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
alicheusz, Joolee:

Those are completely different cases.

FriendService: that's latitude. You can easily stop it if you logout from latitude service (if you don see "Join Latitude" in gmaps menu, then you are logged to it).

Other apps mentioned: they will be automatically terminated whenever another apps will need the RAM. They pose no issue. That's how Android is designed - app is kept in memory until the memory is needed for something else.

If you want to disable some apps to be run for certain events (such as BOOT_COMPLETED), you can use Autostarts app from market.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
FriendService and Vending background service are pesky one

FriendService - I newer join Lattitude but still this service start first every time there is little RAM free.

Vending in theory is killable but it is killed as a last one in extreme low memory situations. I would like to use memory for programs that I actually use. This one add very little value but is started as essential service.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milest0ne2:
The keyboard that comes with FroyoMOD doesn't support this, AFAIK. Therefore, I use the HTC-keyboard - see here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8752779&postcount=3

Even though this has one *very* annoying downside, expecially if you use the German language (presumably other languages with "special" characters as well):

If you type a new word that is not contained in the dictionary yet and this word needs an umlaut, you would usually long press on e.g. "o" to get to the little window that presents you with a choice to choose a special character ("ö" is the one you may want) - but sometimes, this window does not appear, instead the letter just repeats so you end up with "ooooooooooooooo" without even being able to get the word you want! So the only way to actually type the desired word is to use another, similar one that contains the umlaut and edit the word around until you have what you want (which takes ages).

This is extremely annoying and I'd love to this this fixed as the HTC keyboard seems to be the only one that supports suggestions with HW-keyboard and comes with a German dictionary (Motorola is said to have HW suggestions but no German dictionary).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Brotrinde:
Thank you for that hint!

Used to use GoKeyboard wich I pretty liked but the 'ü' were killing me. Will try the HTC KB as well.

I don't know about Luca and his motivation for future updates, but after all the Milestone might be a bit outdated by now. ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
I still use my milestone so I have motivations xD

Support is not dropped but rather slowed down, I had many exhams (this week 2 ç.ç ) and also the project is nowadays more mature than the Samsung one so it does not need an update every week or 2

I'm collecting fixes and encanchements to add for next version but are rather minor ones (Memory, aesthetical and so on)

But I still read the thread all days and when no one can help I reply to support :D

Luca, you're the best! Take your time, and one day release an even more PERFECT 3.0.0 and consider yourself having made one of the best Milestone ROMs EVER!!! :-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
Hey dear....dont break my heart calling it outdated dude :(. I still find it powerful and reliable than any other smartphones around in this range of features and at this cost and with FROYOMOD2.9.3. And yes, most importantly, most of them does not have full-size sliding keyboad. lolz

@89luca89

You are very great pal dude.....no need to hurry for next version. in fact everything is fine with 2.9.3. Battery, speed, free ram, graphics, 3g, its all perfect.....

Honestly speaking, first edgardcastro (shadowmod) and then you (froyomod), you people have put life in our Milestone....otherwise this device was about to die a year back only. Now its rocking....still think no need to buy next device as yet.

YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST DEV :) I HAVE EVER SEEN HERE....YOU ALWAYS TAKE ISSUE REPORTS AS CHALLENGES AND TRY TO RECTIFY ALL OF THEM. AND YOU DID THAT SUCCESSFULLY. HONESTLY, RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO FM 2.9.3 AND I CAN BET ON THAT.

Anyways , you should take your own time for exams dude.....academic life first. thanks a lot and god bless you. Wish you all success and best luck for future.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
Yes....I admit...lolz....i already said if these roms were not there then this device was dead a year back only.....:D...but it hurts when you mention it.:(

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
You could implement a screenshot function?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Zinu:
Did you try Angry Birds Seasons? That just FC's on me every time.

Angry Birds (normal) is OK, little laggy, but only with the backgrounds off option. Angry Birds Rio fine too, but pretty laggy.

All this with clean FroyoMOD, Chainfire3D AND Supercharger script. I dunno what else to try but a new phone.

Hey Luca,

I can't put my stone in deep sleep. Yesterday night, I put into charging for whole night. It never slept. Had to underclock it so that it does not consume a lot of battery juice. I flashed 2.9.3 yesterday only. Never used GPS after flashing. Use wifi location also is disabled. Maps 4.6. Dint update. Only used Wifi till now. I will again check tonight and tell u. Can give you Kernel logs if you wish. Using CPU spy to monitor. Most of the time on 125 Mhz freq. No deep sleep.

Can there be a prob with old battery?? It has been 9 months with this battery.

Is this a prob with new kernel by any chance?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
We discussed a lot about it.. try disabling your GPS and see if it works!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Install FroidWall and block internet access for Angry Birds. That way, adds cannot load. Without the adds, my framerate goes way up.

Disclaimer: I Don't usually block adds (Phone or PC) because I believe developers should be able to earn money with their creations.

Exceptions are stuff like angry birds (they won't make money anyway if my device can't run the app with adds), Flash adds (I use Flashblock), Pop-ups (Let Firefox just block 'm all) and Facebook (Use ABP with Fanboy-Annoyances blocklist)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
No, battery even old its impossible that prevent deep sleed (mine has almost 20months! ;D)

Anyone had any luck with toggle 2G? Mine isnt functioning correctly...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sagarparmar:
Yeah wifi policy is set to "Sleep when screen turns off". About that GPS stuff, never used GPS after flashing it; still i will turn it off and on again. It has been more than 12 hours and it has only slept for 1 minute. :(

Some older kernel there was a prob that after charging, you have to restart the phone. Did that also. Doesn't seem to work! Anyways, I will get kernel logs tomo morning and paste them here.

Thanks for ur help :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
Use BetterBattery stats app its here on xda!

Will not all the wakelocks and apps that prevent sleep! :D

Mine works perfectly, try removing the toggle and readding it!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Note to others: Never set your Screen Bightness Level to 1! (in Froyomod Settings => Automatic Backlights => Edit other levels)

The screen will "turn off" completely and only give a dim black glow, touch still works but setting back the configuration is a bit hard without any feedback :P Solution is to shine a bright light in the sensor for a while and quickly change the setting. 2 is the lowest possible value!

what is Launcher2.apk.1 is it some kind of backup file?

after replace a original 2.3 launcher I found that 2.3 theme has includded a wrong launcher. which has some 3d effect which are not what 2.3 look like. but the default 2.1.2 launcher does that.

btw.is there an option to turn on digital battery percentage on the icon? if so, where is it.

Spareparts MODDED This now includes additional options to trigger some particularities (such as notification color, a common Mod in Cyanogen and Cvcps!), Launcher otions (but later I talk about the launcher) and Recent apps number!!-> NEW- Now you can enable/disable %of battery and change notifications colours WITHOUT rebooting!!

Attaching logs. Please have a look :)

I used battery stats - iit shows "protocol_driver (Dialer)" using processor more than android system. And for partial wake locks, it shows media player (1 hr 37 ms). But that should be normal as I listen to songs for quite a some time.

Edit:

Logs from night(10 PM) and morning (9 AM).

Charged the phone in the morning. Rebooted after charging. And now it sleeps. Did the same thing after charging first time. Complete randomness.! And now battery stats doesn't show protocol_driver as highest CPU user it!

Ringtone Bug Fix sounds VERY GOOD!

Calendar would be nice as well, hopefully someone does find out about that.

And the WLAN Fix for Enterprise WIFI would be nice as well ^^'...

( Sorry for bugging around, I just wanted to keep it in mind as well! )

And there was some idea for an GPS Fix (Shutting down GPS Proccess after using Maps or something like that automatically) to prevent Battery draining (yes, GPS does drain a lot after using it once and closing the app.. It just doesn't shut down, but its nasty to just shut and unshut it again and sometimes even that didn't help but only a plain reboot)

Anyway, thank you very much for your work!
