I told you that FroyoMOD had apps2ext builtin. Just create your ext2 partition and your apps will get transferred to the ext partition. I don't know which modules Luca used for ext support. If you use the ext4 modules provided by Kabaldan, they work with ext2/ext3 and ext4.

So for now, create the ext2 partition in your sdcard and apply froyoMOD. You should be good to go. When Luca comes back this evening, he will let us know which modules he used.

Edit

: To check in FroyoMOD if apps2ext is working, check your /sd-ext folder, not /system/sd folder.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
There is a bug in the GPS scripts: East America and North America have the same values. Maybe the EastAmerica script should be better called CarribeanAmerica.

The 3D gallery still force closes when sliding from a photo to another.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 9911726614:
Well it has /sd-ext folder and thanks for all........
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
The folder alone is not enough. You should have app / app-private / dalvik-cache folders inside with your ext apps shown in app folder. Then it works.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
There is a update available for OR 1.46, thanks Kabaldan.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
And thank you for notifying this thread sileshn.

I currently have a Gig's worth of ext2. Will wait for Luca's feedback as to how to convert this ext2 to ext4.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
No luck with GPS. The damn thing doesn't work no matter what.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I just got to test GPS, and it's the same as with 2.6.0. :(

It's pretty much hit or miss. There are hours that I get up to 11 satellites, there are times that I get 1.

Btw, I noticed that Luca used 3MB for the read_ahead buffer. Can I use the same scripts we used before to turn it down to 1MB?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Mati20041:
I have this bug - My milestone often reboots or plays music from speaker when i connect with my bluetooth headphones.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] inkognito3:
Ur Milestone reboots coz of DSI error...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alexnalexn:
May I know how to overclock to 1000mhz ?

I have tired the apps which are working fine under V2.6.0.

But now all are useless .....

Anyone can advice ?

Thank you !
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lujo_zgb:
I also can not see any difference in GPS fixes.

Any way to underclock? I got less restarts (almost a week without one!) when I underclocked the 2.6.0 version to 500 or 600mhz. Would love to try it out now because I keep getting 2-3 restarts daily.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I tried it out of curiosity, and it works. :)

I am also currently using sileshn's gb theme. Pretty slick dude.

And i agree with everyone, the responsiveness of this rom is insane. Awesome work Luca!

Sent from my Milestone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Btw, not sure if it is again just me, but the Calendar "+" sign seems back with your theme silesh. Can you confirm if the calendar is ok on your end?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joost81:
When I have the folder /sd-ext (with the subfolders mentioned in a later post) it *works*? Should I be able to see the Internal Storage Space increase or does that remain the same?

What should I do with the apps on sd through apps2sd? Is a factory reset recommended?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 9911726614:
Also need to know that my milestone gets hot very much while playing game around 42 degrees so what should i do so that it does not get hot while playing games or while surfing.....?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
After an half day, I can say this ROM is sublime!

GPS finally has fixed, it locks in about 4-5 secs, it's amazingly responsive and everythings works fine!

Just little issue I've found, disabling JIT will cause the telephone to not go in sleep mode.. but it's not a big trouble, just let it on! =)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Yes. It's there. Strange. Since I have not touched the calendar app.

I just checked.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Internal space will come down very slowly as you keep installing apps, but not as drastically as when you install to internal memory.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kennethlam:
is it a must to do the 3 different ways of wiping after flashing the new update?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Yes, preferably if you are upgrading and must if you are flashing over another rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kennethlam:
what abt upgrading from froyomod 2.6.0? wiping dxxxx cache and cache partition, but keeping the data?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Well, it didn't work for someone else. He had to backup data, wipe all, flash 2.6.1 and restore data.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 9911726614:
Milestone gets hot while playing games......can u plz help me with it.

I have no idea why it is....? Should I undercloxk it to 700 MHz but don't,know how to....

I don't know how to edit 10overclock but can u help me.....? Thanks again..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Worked fine in my case.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
omg. u told me to change to google servers and you yourself are getting only single grey satellite? I am at least getting two sats but not locking.

Now what?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
These folders are created automatically or do we have to create them from AOR console?

I see this main folder (/sd-ext) but it is empty, that means app2sd is not working with me, with ext2 partition.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
Btw, I noticed that Luca used 3MB for the read_ahead buffer. Can I use the same scripts we used before to turn it down to 1MB?

This script is now app in market named "SD INCREASE". Very insanely perfect app. I changed to 2048kb and the read speed zoomed to outstanding. The gallery loaded in 1 second. My 8gb sdcard is loaded with hundreds of heavy pics and the gallery loaded in no time. No matter which folder I open, the thumbnails and images loaded in a wink. THANKS FOR THIS INFO, PALS.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] framir:
Also I still have big "+" in calendar after flash gingerbread Luca's theme and afetr try fix problem with flash your theme...

Could is a fonts thah cause the problem?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
Tthemes are being updated! There is an icon that is miss-called from calendar app in framework, so I need o make it "invisible" to remove he big +!

@sileshn

if you want I can ugrade also your themes! and fix them!

Also gingerbread theme (the mine) have the status carachters color right, no need to use FroyoExtras after! use my services.jar to build your ginger theme!! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kennethlam:
cheer mate :D

but im a bit naughty lol. i tested to upgrade withouth wiping out my data. and it works on my mine.. working just fine so far

what i did is flashing the rom, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache partition, thats it

i did nandroid back up, so if there is any situation, it can always turn around..

btw, i realised that even i register in 2006, im still a junior member.. how weird
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
That unlucky chap would be me. :p

Another irritating thing that is happening to me, is that I noticed that most apps (if not all) that have been installed in the sdcard seems to be force closing. :( I am now uninstalling/reinstalling apps that FC on me.

Will await those spanking new themes Luca. :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Yup, you can do whatever you want with the theme.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
You 'grow' when you post, not only as the time passes by... :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Edit: The apps aren't corrupted. I uninstalled/reinstalled my XDA app, and it still FC'd (along with my syncmypix app). I cleared dalvik/cache, and now, everything is working again, no FCs! (Could it be that my FCs are being caused by my phone not mounting ext2 immediately upon boot?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Whats the VM Heapsize in this ROM? I've changed it to 40 with AOR, but Im just curious.

If you want to improve the performance, you can add debug.sf.hw=1 in system/build.prop using Root Explorer, and reboot. That is hardware acceleration, so CPU will be used more than before(usually GPU is used more) and it will maybe improve the battery life. My app drawer is smoother after adding this line. Games also.

Props to zeppelinrox :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
VM is at 30MB.

Ok, will try that build.prop line. Do I just add it in the bottom?

Also, anyone here converted their ext2 to ext4?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Yeah. I add it in the botton and reboot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Zarrick19:
When switching to Gallery2D, everythings go ok, but when I want to launch the Gallery it crashes and "The application Galery (process com.alensw.PicFolder) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." :(

And, why to change value in SD INCREASE to 2048, when the basic values was 3072 ? Its better, when the value is lower ? Thanks for answer.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
So are you crashing using gallery3d only? or both?

I actually lowered read_ahead to 1072MB. Back when I was testing it, I was getting FCs with NFS:Shift if I use anything above 1072.

It's a case to case basis, some cards have their "sweet spot" at 4MB.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Zarrick19:
I didnt find "debug.sf.hw=1" in build.prop so maybe its need to add it. So, how to add ? To the end of the file or where ?

Also the VM size, can I change VM heapsize in build.prop (I found something like "dalvik.vm.heapsize=30m") because in AOR the highest value is 30/32m I think.

@salisbury_steak, Gallery3D is working well. Only the 2D is crashing :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Yes, you just manually type in debug.sf.hw=1.

Yes, you can manually change the VM size you see in build.prop. I always set mine to 32. Some people go for values 40 and up though.

Strange, most people actually have gallery3d crash. Sorry, don't know what's wrong, I'm a user of gallery2d and it has always worked well. Maybe you can use gallery3d, and then just download the quickpic app from the market?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Right now Kabaldan said that debug.sf.hw=1 does nothing :? But it actually improved my phone :/.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eljuggy:
I've got a problem when trying to flash :

I'm on Ice and Fire gingerbread (early mars build), I wiped all.

I put the TheFroyoMOD-v2.6.1.zip file in Androidany 3.3 OpenRecovery\updates folder.

When I choose Apply update : I see progression bar for half a second then Openrecovery seems to restart...

Did I do something wrong ? I tested the TheFroyoMOD-v2.6.1.zip from my sdcard with no error.

What should I do next ?

Thanks cause I'm stuck...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Zarrick19:
Thanks

Yeah, thats the problem. I am (was) a 2D gallery user too :(

Btw, SD Tools with values in SD Increase:

@eljuggy, try to flash TheFroyoMOD-v2.6.0.zip and then the TheFroyoMOD-v2.6.1.zip ;)

//

After reboot, the 2d gallery is still crashing :"(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eljuggy:
Well I tried 2.6.0 with no success. Then I tried flashing gapps-gb-2011-03-07.zip update just to check : and same problem : did'nt install.

Seems like I can't apply updates anymore...

Should I try another recovery ?

Or try a SBF ? or nandroid backup ?

PS : sorry for to be off topic.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Try everything from the beginning. Reflash sbf (GOT 2.2.1), install AOR, and than apply updates. Maybe it's just some dumb error :P.

You can't install CM7 google apps on FroyoMOD (afaik :O). My gapps are 10/11/10 I think.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Since the ROM flash itself doesn't push through, maybe try downloading a fresh copy of 2.6.1. It shouldn't be necessary, but since you're coming from GB ROMs, you may also want to flash a fresh 2.2 sbf. GOT's 2.2 is pretty popular.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Since I just read that you also can't apply Gapps.zip anymore, I recommend deleting update.zip and /openrecovery from your SD. If that doesn't fix it, reformat your SD.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
gapps ae alead ncluded :D

@sleshn :D Thx a lot:D I've updated my gingerbread theme with your icons so are almost the same, but now I'll update also your Honeycomb theme :D

@ALL

Themes are UPDATED!! Now bugfrees!! AND Updated GINGERBREAD THEME! Now Faithful 100% I cannot distinguish them if not from the shut-off animation XD

@2D GALLERY FC

It was fcing with 2.6.1 and I reverted to a prior release of 2d gallery in 2.6.1b to resolve! I always use 2d and works well!!

Try that:

Goto Settings>applications>find 2D gallery and clear caches and data of 2d gallery!!

if does not work, try re-.downloading! Maybe you still have 2..1 and not the "b" xD

@ABOUT debug.sf.hw=1

I dunno but I think it does nothing (to my phone also....) feel free to try

@ALL

I repeat remember to DO NOT Bullettproof your launcher or you'll break some functions

about VM Heap, 30 is just fine, we do not have nor memory poblems and nor ultra-big apps FCing cause of low memory!

Raising it to 0+ wiill lead to a more memory consumption, and probably some memory problem! Feel free to try but I Choosed 0 for a reason :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dub4625:
Where is the link 2.6.1b downloader?

THX.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fredziu:
Before updating to 2.6.1b I had 25 mb free internal memory, now after updated I have only 36 kb free internal memory 0_O. Also I can't run FroyoMOD extra settings -->extra settings ( proces nl.rogro.GScript) and any other app even I can't turn on wifi :(. It's probably fault of small internal memory . Anyone know how to fix it ?:mad:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
It's the normal download link, but luca forgot to put "b" in the name :).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Woot! thanks for updating the themes Luca!

A little favor though, can you upload higher resolution previews for Blackdroid and BuglessEvolution?

Their previews seem to be thumbnail-sized.

Edit: Anyway I kinda like the lock screen of Bugless, downloading it right now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dub4625:
Are these themes can be used for 2.6.1b?

THX
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evolucja:
How can i flash my radio and here can i find polish files?

Nothing wrong with bananas. But you feel something different when you first time boot Cyanogen and your mod. I was a little scared when i saw that, because there was a chance that this mod is made by 12yo child. But now i see that it's really good and thanks for your work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
Hahahaha tat's a nice effect to me xD

If you have a leaked 2.2 in poland (specific one) then just fash the same files you find in any of the baseband package you find in other threads, but BE SURE THEY ARE FOR 2.2!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evolucja:
But can i get them from rom to another phone? I mean if i can copy radio files from desire 2.2 to my milestone.

I have wifi issue. Sometimes i just don't have internet even if the wifi icon is still on the notification bar. I need to switch wifi off and turn it on.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
NO, milestone one is only for milestone and desire for desire...

About wifi, probably it's related to the 2,2,1 kernel wich is known to have some iussues with wifi, but i'lll check it anyway
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sir_shady:
i got a big problem with your rom,it is the same with cm6,but i can't find where is the problem.

after flash i wiped and cleared cache fully, apply update, when the OS Started, phone.apk force close repeatly.

This thing happens exactly with rom cm6. But Froyomod V1, EclairMod from you or HO!no!froyomod, MotoSense .. it didn't.

I think no one got the problem same as mine,i asked kabaldan in the CM6 thread but still got no answer from anyone.

p/s: everytime i flash ,the status stuck at : please manually reboot your fone and it stopped ,i had to unplug the cable when it's not complete. (I’ve tried to flash my MS with my PC and laptop but it was the same problem.) Is it the reason why ?

hope to receive an answer from you, luca !! :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
So you tried to flash a fresh GOT 2.2.1 right?

The message about reboot manually is normal cause you MANUALLY have to reboot...

About phone.apk, it's the first time I hear about that, is it installed on a clean 2.2.1 installation with DATA/CACHE/Dalvik-CACHE cleared???
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evolucja:
Okay, thanks.

I'd be really happy if you will find any solution for this. I had the same on 2.1, but it occurred less frequently.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Khul:
about wifi issue:

used to happen to me too with other roms...

Then i found that if you do a full wipe of (data, dalvik and cache) and reboot phone, you prolly will get it solved.

If doesnt work, maybe try pumping your vsels a bit, never use less than vsel 26 and try to not pass 800 mhz..

dont forget to first try: delete network and then re add it after switching off-on the wifi

Hope one of those pointers make the trick for ya.

Live long and prosper- tapatalk
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sir_shady:
yes, i've tried many 2.2.1 sbf files (UK, EU, TELUS..) and before apply the update i've wiped everything but got the same result.

when flash, i had to unplug the cable to complete, the status don't say "complete .." or something like that. It stucked at "Please manually reboot.." althought i've rebooted the phone already.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Khul:
@sir_shay:

-tryed "press flash button" + "leave it alone for about 10 mins, it will reboot it self"?

-tryed on win XP?

Live long and prosper- tapatalk
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] peekay2n:
when RSDlite says "rebooting phone", press the UP arrow on the D-Pad ... so you get into the bootloader mode... this happens much quicker than the whole reboot ... obvious ;)

RSD Lite will show "PASS" :D

now exit RSD / unplug and reboot normally !! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evolucja:
1.a) I open xda-developers.com, when it finish loading i switch to home screen. Then i back to the browser and.. the page loads again. It musn't do it.

b) When i click 'back' in browser it loads again previous page except loading it from cache.

2. I can confirm battery drain. At 16:30 i had 80%. Now i have 5%. Of course i was using it for about ~2 hours non-stop, the wifi is turned on all the time but anyway, it should eat battery as fast.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
1a-b the browser is a very large app, if the page reloads is because it's too many for the milesotne memory, it's simple; We do not have 512mb ram...

2. it's a little unattendible, with a pair of reboots (to apply updates.zip), a 2hrs hsdpa browsing session and a lot of music (with 2g enabled when screen is off) i had like 12 hours of juice, but that was stressful, try tomorrow the battery test :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
USB Debuging is not working, any ideeas, if I select Phone and portal, and usb debugging it doesn't work , Device not found error
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evolucja:
But i think it didn't used to do it so often on 2.1. It should keep pages on flash/sd not in ram ;)

So i don't know what's wrong with my milestone. On stock 2.1 it works for me from morning to evening with normal(wifi turned on, 3hr 3g, 1-2 hour web browsing, 1 hour games and ~10 sms, 2 calls).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
usb debugging has never worked with portal!! XD

You have to choose charging, or mass archieve mode, debug mode has always worked this way...

so in the iussues post I've explained the bug in the test kernel of the milestone!

And BTW the 3g is sucking A LOT of battery, let's hope in a new kernel from motorola!! That's the only possible way!

(You compare it with a 2.1, but the poblem is common to ALL 2.2.1, official and custom!)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
great work, i rly like it so far, but i need to test this definitely longer than a few hours to say something about battery life.

one thing, the opition in androidiani, where u can change the KB Layout to quertz, it does not work for me, it is still querty.. =(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] roadracer:
Great ROM! Thanks!!!

But how to return the original indicator? Ie disable it and use the standard images of framework-res.apk/drawble-hdpi? :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] snellx:
This ROM seems to be quite fast and stable so far. But one question: Why did you include the old Youtube version?

I've installed the new version 2.0.26 now, but this version doesn't work at all...

any idea?

And one suggestions: I like the power control buttons in the status bar from CM6. Can you include them in your ROM?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
@snellx

new youtube is written very bad, in stock 2.2, 2.1 and in this gave me a lot of trouble viewing videos, so I decided to include the old one (I think is google that wrote bad the app...I HOPE XD)

about the power strip in status bar, i'm working to make it work, but I want to insert different option or (better one) an option to choose what to diplay!

But it's still a project
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Yes. Luca just updated everything.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
@Luca: I just tried the BuglessRevolution and the rEVOlution themes, both of them cannot be installed. Can you someone doublecheck as well? I'm currently deleting my AOR and re-pasting everything in... (assuming that something went wrong with my OR.)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Were you able to check the GPS Gscripts for North and Eastern America?

I think by default VM Heap is 24 in FroyoMod, am I right?

With 200 pics in a folder the 3D gallery kept FC and yesterday I tried changing the VM heap to 40. It seems way more stable.

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I just re-pasted AOR 3.3, and I'm getting the same error with the themes. (They just give me an error message of (bad).)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 9911726614:
How to Speed up SD read and Write ....? does this rom has it built in... Someone link me the update.zip file for SD speed up ....... thanks....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
It is already done in this ROM. Set on 3072kb by default.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I just tried the Gingerbread theme. And that one works. So now I'm sure that something's amiss with the 2 revolution themes.

BTW, I'm not sure if it's supposed to be this way, but this GB theme has a different font for the clock. It's not the regular "Android font" clock. Is it really supposed to be this way?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joost81:
Luca, is the HC theme by sileshn also going to be in your 4shared folder? The excisting link still sais FroyoMOD-2.6.0-HC.zip :)

thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I have a feeling that the occasional FCs that I am getting from cold boot are caused by the sd-ext not being mounted fast enough.

I'm wondering if Kabaldan's fixes may be included in the next FroyoMod release. :D
