how to install addons downloadable separetely like camera or music mod...

android market is also not working correctly. its not showing all the apps and games which were available earlier..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] PsyCl0ne:
You install them the same way you installed FroyoMod. You put the zips in the update folder, reboot into recovery, and apply update :).

I can't set wallpaper at all. If I try it, it always says the process.com.android.gallery has stopped unexpectedly. Nothing works, I tried from Gallery, from file managers, from QuickPic, from ADW launcher.

mod: I installed the AOSP 3D, that's working..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] meilstone:
Well there is really a weird battery drain problem on this ROM.

I'm using Froyo Mod since christmas and i am really happy with it. But after one month, after i installed a new Froyomod version the battery starts to get drained very fast. But always updated the to a newer version and the problems were gone (because of wipe) but at the moment from one day to another day the battery drains to zero in 6 h and because there no updates at the moments i did not makeany wipes to solve this problem.

I'm using Low volatage CPU. I do not tweak my system in the last week, when my phone turned to the bad side.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Try calibrating your battery using Luca's method. I calibrated it that way and I would get very good battery life.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] i2gh0st:
Hi guys, can u please tell me if this is an android/rom/operator problem ?

It seems that if the phone is connected to data i can't get calls, i onnly get missed calls from operator voice mail.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] meilstone:
i already did that several times.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
I was able to receive calls over 3G, maybe a carrier issue.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] i2gh0st:
Yeah i just got to Bucharest and it seems to work, i got this problem in a diferent country zone. I will turn off data next time i'll go there, beacuse they never fix anything.

Thx for reply.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moviecut:
hey luca! how did you port the miui-apks? i just tried to take miui music, camera and galery from the latest miui-rom, but i get a FC when trying to start them. the folders inside the apks are different from the apks you privide. so you must have done something with them... ;) hope you can help me porting the newest miui apps. maybe we can also notice.apk, backup.apk, filemanager.apk and galery.apk from miui to work with other roms...

thank you so much!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
wheres luca? he hasnt come to this thread for a long time
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
He's in his exam period for school so he's been around, just hasn't had much time to give us an update on the next version. 2.8.0 is very good as is so there shouldn't be too many issues to fix :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Kai7os:
the only issue that needs fixing is the no ringtone bug.. other than that were good :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Luca is busy!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] oxytw:
how to change 1% battery step TO orignal 10% battery step ?

the battery use than 2.70
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Luca is going to implement that in the next update of FroyoMOD. For the battery just calibrate using Luca's method.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
the biggest thing luca has to do is applying that dsi fix that cm7 has

getting mad of those crashes
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Pretty sure that it isn't that hard to implement, so I think he will implement it. I love the true DSI fix right now, no more tearing!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] AddiB:
There is an update (though unoffical) with the fix integrated - credits to Soxes from android-hilfe.de:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
who did the unofficial and does it work?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] neato4u:
I can't play samurai vengeance with this ROM.. half way through and I lost control of the buttons (it became unresponsive!) and for a while the game will still run, and finally soft reset itself (self reboot).

I also downloaded that taxi game (can't remember I've uninstalled it), and the game lags with a few seconds between push and action (not sure if it supposed to be that way, I guess not).

So how's everyone elses gaming performance on this ROM?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
man i read that u have to wipe data also

ill w8 for luca instead
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Soxes:
This is my Release!!!

It´s working perfect.

You have to do a full wipe, before applying this update...

If you want to save your apps, then do a titanium backup or something like that...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Soxes:
Wich release do you use???
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
why is full wipe needed?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Soxes:
I really don´t know...

Maybe i think you have to do one, because of the new .ko file is added...

Don´t know...

Just backup your e.g. SMS, apps with titanium and apply the new release...

it´s running perfect... no tearing, freezes or reboots!

Gaming performance is perfect, too :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] invd:
I added the .ko and edited the system files myself and I did not need to wipe data. so it should work without with this rom, too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
how did u do that?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] invd:
just get dsifix.ko from nadlabak, put it in /system/lib/modules/ and set the permissions 644 (chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko). after that open /system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc and under "custom kernel modules" add this line:

insmod /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko

save, reboot - done! (i don't take credits for this - got this from android-hilfe.de)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
does is it work perfect for u?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] invd:
yep. i uninstalled the "old" dsi fix before that and now i have 1) no tearing and 2) no DSI errors. so yes ,it works perfectly.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Basian Mile:
I´ve done it like that too and its good. No tearing anymore. :-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Soxes:
Guys... this unoffical update is only for those peoples, wich don't want this "difficult" copy&paste work, or for those, wich want to switch to this rom...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abazel:
So this is the solution for DSI errors and tearing? Will it work on CM7 too?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] invd:
jea, i know, my intention was just to say: in my opinion it is not necessary to wipe data for your rom :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
WTF!?

I introduced this fix in CM 7.1.0 RC10. So what is this question about? :rolleyes:

For any other Milestone ROM: all that is needed is to ensure that the dsifix.ko kernel module insmod happens on boot. No special wiping is needed when it comes to this module usage.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Soxes:
That was my first intention, too.

After a test from an user of android-hilfe.de, your MS will not be able to boot anymore...

I don´t know why...

But you still have to do a full wipe... :(

Dude, i really thank you for the real DSI fix ;)

I have implemented the insmod command into the mapphone file and i have implemented the .ko file in FroyoMOD.

A direct update from 2.8.0b to 2.8.0c is not possible :(

You have to wipe evereything... Why??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rionline:
lol. ... really ...thanks for that. the tearing did really kill all my fun with the stone. do you think you could make the final cm6 ready? with dsi fix? i would switch at once...because in my opinion ginger is to much for the stone....

thanks for all your hard work!

greets from germany
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rionline:
...so where is teh 2.8.0c version? cannot find it! ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Soxes:
Here we go (it´s my original post from android-hilfe.de):

Someone has posted it here yesterday...

Some pages before...

Have fun ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] phakeorama:
Is there really any benefit to gingerbread?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] invd:
in my opinion: yes. its fast, has more free ram and is - for me - more stable.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pippocannelunghe:
Can I apply the Froyo Mod 2.8.0c over B version or a wipe is needed?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
It seems as if a wipe is needed, according to Soxes.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lucfig:
Does yhe battery callibration script works with CM7?

Can anyone provide it for me?

Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] PsyCl0ne:
All that the script does is delete an battery stat file, I forget where its located I think its in /data/system/ and the files name is batterystats.bin but um you might want to do a quick search here on the forums to make sure I have to correct file. Btw make sure you charge with usb and not the wall/car charger.

~PsyCl0ne
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
Thanks Soxes..

I'm trying now the DSI fix!

But manually.. doesn't want to fully wipe!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Morti:
Hey. Liking this ROM, it's quick, mostly stable and battery seems good. However, it cannot run Spotify.

It freezes if I:

Press the menu button

Select a playlist

Press the search button

This makes it entirely unusable and I do like Spotify. This alone means I'd have to switch to a different ROM.

Any ideas?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
Quick post xD

Next week will be ready FroyoMod 2.9.0!!

I'm testing it right now some more advanced optimizations for memory, i/o, and CPU!

Will update the post next week when ready :D

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Cool finally Luca posted something :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSgrash:
luca is it usefull to use SetCPU with your ROM?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Soxes:
Thanks for the news...

But i want to work with you together in developing FroyoMOD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
for controlling the governors is useful if you need it, for the cpu, also, but instead of profiles ill instead use smartass or interacrive, personally I use conservative!

As I already said, the source code is a complete mess, I have to clear it, adjust the .mk files and all...

for the developing, it can be useful to have some mantainers to mantain the rom updated to latest news (like it was for the .ko dsi fix) of for bugfixing!

If you are interested :D

But obviously ANYONE who want to modify my rom can do it :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ynoi64:
thanks for your awesome job luca ! will it have the dsi fix? :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Count me in. I would like to help too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Svid:
can you also do a motoblur theme for the ROM Please?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Soxes:
Yeah! 3 developer for FroyoMOD!

Pretty Good :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shirdesh:
hey buddy can u include Smart dialing in it.....MIUI has it....waiting for 2.9
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Soxes:
What do you mean with that?

Screenshot pls ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mixailo:
He probably means a T9 dialer like Go Dialer, HTC Dialer, Nub dial etc... You start pressing numbers and it immediatly filters out contacts having that number or letter combination.

There are more than a few of them on the market. Go Contacts gives you almost identical results to miui dialer and contacts.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kiwi0033:
Why I cant download pocket legends on this rom? Market cant find this game :/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
my phone is not vibrating anymore when i get an sms... how to fix this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Check to see if it's still selected as being told to vibrate on SMS under the Messaging settings. You can also try and change that setting, using it for a bit and then switching back to vibrate. Perhaps a cycle through the sound profiles could do something.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shatteredzman:
While using the keyboard when I press $ I get £. The touch screen keyboard works fine, and the language is set to usa english...how do I fix this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Change keyboard layout to querty from AOR.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
You need to change the keyboard layout in Androidiani or Fufu OR to QWERTY. It is set to Euro QWERTY by default.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wirapuru:
just guessing here too.. one thing I always change at every new rom install is Settings > Sound > Vibrate > [Only in Silent Mode](default) to [Always]. Hate this default value =]
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] qwertyboiz:
for updating from 2.7.0 to 2.8.0b, do i need to clear data or can i just flash over without losing data?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] i2gh0st:
No, but make a backup first, things sometime can go wrong.

Learnd this the hard way.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
the DSI fix doesnt work!!!

sometimes my games still freezes and i cant get out and have to pull out the battery...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fzelle:
That has nothing to do with dsifix.

The dsifix fixes kernelpaniks that lead to automatic reboots.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Soxes:
or freezes....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
Ok so I managed to have ctr ON animation xD

I need still the OFF ahahah xD

But its already a great challenge for me and I'm happy :D

@Soxes PM to you!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] FrostyWolf359:
So I've switched from iceandfire to FroyoMod. I'm very impressed with FroyoMod so far. Its a very well put together rom.

My main priority is battery life, which was a bit low on iceandfire.

Now, after the initial loading of the rom, my data / 3G radio didnt work. So I flashed a radio for UK (didnt find any SA region ones) and after booting it works fine. But I think I have the same issue as someone else had earlier. I've been jumping through this thread all day and forgot who posted it (think it was a user called Meilstone). But it looks like my battery drains a lot when on the data connection and not on wifi.

What I mean is, I used wifi for about 6 hours and lost 30% battery (no wifi sleep setting) and on the data connection (2G only) I lost 30% within 1 hour. I did charge the battery full and used the calibration script in the FroyoMod Extra menu.

Any help would be appreciated, as I'm really liking this rom so far.

PS - I am using the 800 mhz ULV overclock (and it is running at 800, confirmed with quadrant and another system info app)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] silencer51:
Yeah with the 3g on my Milestone with Froyomod 2.8 burns through the battery in a matter of hours. The battery percentage seems like a countdown timer!

2.7 also did this. Every time I perform a clean install and for good measure I flash the official 2.2 sbf before applying the update through openrecovery. I really can't figure out why this happens...

The phone also get INSANELY hot under usage with this rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Braidonh:
Same here! Get toggle happy! Thats my only solution. *Sigh*
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
Not different here.

Playing is not a problem, the battery life is good, but using 3G is good for cooking eggs.

EVen in idle mode, with data enabled I lose about 2% every hour; without data enabled, I lose 2% every 5 hours.

Watching Youtube is a real massacre indeed!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] FrostyWolf359:
Wow. Well mine doesn't get hot, but I easily lose 10% per hour on WiFi
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mndroid:
Phone very slow in Google Maps

First of all: I love this Mod! :)

I just have one major problem: When I use Google Maps and try to search for an address, the phone gets really really slow while I enter the text. So I see the first two or three letters and then it freezes. After 30 seconds or so the next letter appears. Most of the times I can't enter the full search text because Maps closes after a while. Most times the phone even reboots while I try to enter the text.

Does anyone have the same problem and do you know how to fix this?

i didn't undo the DSI fix and didn't change the CPU settings (so it's still at 250-1000 MHz).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fonzi:
Couple of small bugs:

- If i blacklist a number, the caller get's a "busy" tone as expected, but the phone still rings and vibrates like a call is coming (but no number is displayed or is registered on missed calls)

- On de default camera apk, clicking the thumbnail of last picture taken won't open gallery.

The second bug wasn't present on previous releases.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
i still dont get any vibrates if i get messages or notifications

i check everything settings>sound etc
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] qaz2453:
Open message app > menu > settings .. near the bottom you will see n option for notification

Done more digging on the Spotify problem and discovered this:

http://getsatisfaction.com/spotify/topics/cant_play_songs_on_with_android_2_2_motorola_milestone

Basically the Spotify issue is standard on Android 2.2 running on a Milestone, so nothing to do with this particular ROM. Head on over to that thread and download the older version that someone linked and it should work. Also if you've been without Spotify for a while due to this it may be worth emailing Spotify support and explaining the situation, see if you can get some free premium time out of them.

Just thought I'd post in case anyone else has problems with Spotify crashes on this ROM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] qaz2453:
Just saying...

:/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
my phone keeps rebooting if i play cut the rope or stardunk

i applied that dsi fix..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] motorator:
Try raising your CPU voltage or reducing the overclock.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
im using the standard 1000mhz overclock

no1 else has this problem??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] AddiB:
@luca: Could you please integrate the application-permission-management that was introduced in CM7 into your ROM, if it's possible.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Svid:
Well you have luck with 3G i guess.I used the 3G for tapatalk and some whatsapp and i lost 20% within 30 minutes
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
fix this ****!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Wow! This is perfect show of the very fine attitude that gives any developer nice and warm feeling about the work done for others for free, in free time ;).

Shiyou: Better ask how can you provide the logs needed for identification of the cause of your issue. It might be certainly more useful than trying to give orders to people that owe you nothing.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
whahah sorry, just got slightly irritated by the many reboots and freezes ;p
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Soxes:
Shut up right now!

If you want someone who fixes your problem, then fix it by yourself -.-

God damn it with those guys ^^
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mokuni:
kabaldan, you need to install on all your mods, an apk that bricks peoples phones from your pc based on their comments on this thread!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aoi_sora9x:
No matter how irritated you are, you have no ****ING right to say that to a developer.

Sorry, need to get that out of my head.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andreju:
****you, let me also note first that this kind of tone is absolutely not acceptable here. I suggest you go and get the stock rom and leave this forum with such an attitude.

Many developers here spend countless hours to make all of us who leach on their work happy. For free. Keep this in mind.

And for an answer to your trouble, I had many crashes and fcs and reboots on the default overclock. Raising voltage didn't help, got only worse. I guess the issue was overheating. No such problems anymore since I applied the 800MHz ULV overclock. Not that much speed difference, but stability is vastly improved. And that was on two stones, mine and my wife's.

And, besides that, when I was using navigation (motonav), with 1G my battery was draining faster than it was charging from the car charger. Used navi for 1,5hrs, started with 70%, down to 40% (or was it 30%?) at the end (connected to the charger all the time!). Not to mention the phone was boiling hot.

Now with 800ULV, things are much better. If only I wouldn't have the non-sleep issue after it's disconnected from the charger, everything would be great...

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:

Mine does the same, can't use Google Navigation in v2.80. I'm having the phone at 800ULV as it couldn't do the default 1000MHz. Same 800ULV worked great for me in 2.70. Google Navigation keeps crashing. I've rebooted the phone, clear the app cache, it keeps on doing it.

Another weird thing that happened to me twice on v2.80: I had the phone ring but I couldn't answer as it didn't respond to me swiping on the screen. It took 3 minutes before I could do something.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
I hope all custom animations, design changes and "bloatware" won't be in by default, I mean they should be off... Mile- is low on RAM and it can only become slow and unusable with those things... talking about TV animation, glow effect etc. (idk what else are you planning to put in). IMHO I don't need CTR Anim. and glow effects from CM7 and I was hoping your primary task for 2.9 is copy-paste from GB, which is 100% more useful than some effects. :D

What I want to say, make it faster out of the box (talking about speed, I hope you found better optimizations for CPU, I/O, memory management etc....you said you are working on those few days(weeks?) ago :))... animations and effects should be optional :D.
