2.6.2 soon? Didn't see Luca's posts lately :).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
2.7.0 pre-final will be released in the weekend or at max in monday!

Doing final testing and latenti tweets and a pair of new mods :-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Yay! :D I thought you were busy with school or something :). So, GPS fix is coming...few mods hmm what could it be :P.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] aj.guyver:
After upgrade to 2.6.1b, I need to wipe dalvik and cache partition every reboot, otherwise reboot will stuck in bootup screen with all apps being force close repeatly! Anyone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Similar issue with a lot of us. It's being caused by the delayed mount of the ext2 partition. (I'm assuming you're using app2ext?) Don't worry, 2.7.0 will be coming soon.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 9911726614:
Plz test Phone.apk while receiving calls...... the touch buttons are not adjusted right .......... thanks for the gr8 rom waiting for update...... thanks a lot again..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Now that 2.7.0 is on the way, here are a few things I'd like to see included/fixed:

- GPS;

- phone ring issues (with a custom .mid tune maybe it doesn't ring if the music.apk is not running?);

- Gallery 3D (saw a fix listed in the CM7 final, related to the orientation sensor);

I think CM7 includes now an .xml file with all known APN settings, so baseband patch is no longer required, would be nice to have it here, as well.

I looked at the CM7 GPS files and there were a few quite different settings in the file location.cfg which is related with the way GPS works.

Do you need beta-testers, Luca? :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Had that problem to but reapplying the theme solved it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 9911726614:
how to reapply theme again tell the complete process..... very eager to solve it.... it is a big problem to me...... thanks waiting for reply......
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Download the theme from the second startpost, place it into the updates folder of Androidiani Open Recovery. Boot into the open recovery, select wipe cache and wipe dalvik, than select apply update and pick the theme file. Wipe cache and dalvik again and reboot.

I recommend to make a nandroid backup (also in the openrecovery menu) before doing anything.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 9911726614:
this does not help still the same using Gingerbread theme...... new one by saileshn and moded by Luca Again..... how do u do....? still no luck waiting for the New Rom update hope this fix in new one.......
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Can any1 tell me the advantage/disadvantage of enable/disable JIT ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
The JIT is a compiler, using it should accelerate the apps. In my case, I hadn't any noticeable imporvement, but since it use ram, I preferred to disable it. Try and see what's best for you!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Did anyone have a problem with Youtube.apk? I'm on WiFi and videos I play on YT are loading too long and stopping pretty often, so I have to pause and wait. Sometimes it just says "error occured, please try again". I didn't have this problem on GB ROM's :( but Froyo ROM's are ***** up in video playing >.<
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Khul:
best way to check if it is ROM related is... play same video on both roms using wireless and then do the same over 3g after rebooting/deleting browser cache. While on 3g be sure to check hdspa or edge is stable and not switching between.

if your issue is only on 3g network, maybe check signal strenght on both roms and report :)

That way you will know for certain and luca might have a chance to know what is wrong with it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
No problem playing youtube either by wifi or 3G
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Nope, I'm using only WiFi. I'll test it, maybe it will be normal in FM 2.7.0 :S

Edit: I reflashed and it's good now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenogearz87:
how do we know whether JIT is disabled or not..? im installing this for the 1st time.. so JIT is enabled/disabled..?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lapiduss:
After installing is disabled. With linpack get just 6 MFLOPS, if you enable JIT 12 and more..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
JIT is by default, disabled in this ROM.

How about mobile tracker app?

@luca

HOW ABOUT MOBILE TRACKER APP?

If you have not yet composed new version, can you please add some effective mobile tracker? This application should always be uninstallable so when someone steals your phone, or you loose it, the thief should not be able to remove mobile tracker app and the new inserted sim should quietly send sms to original owner with any possible available information about the new person who have inserted the sim.

Have seen quiet some apps like that in market, but you may be knowing better variant of the same...is it possible?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Khul:
if there is an app for that...why dont you just install it and give the dev a brake? just a thought, maybe you suggest something different?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Sorry, but I prefer not to have that app. mobile tracker apps constantly run in the background and eat up our puny RAM.

Same as Khul, I recommend just letting the user install it from the market as needed. As far as I know, there are a lot of options in the market. Even Tasker can do it (I tried).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Another free option. Works well on stock. I am running it atm.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
I just reflashed FroyoMOD 2.6.1 in anticipation of 2.7.0, coming from CM7. I have an ext2 partition that would transfer my apps over in CM7, and when coming to FroyoMOD, everything worked (except Simi Folder FC'ing during restore?) fine from my TitaniumBackup restore.

When I rebooted, some apps were already FC'ing and some do only when I launch them. I reinstall them and they work fine, but it seems quite cumbersome to me.

Anybody else experience this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
I've also just come back to FroyoMod after trying CM6, CM7 and the stock 2.2 but FroyoMod is working the best for me. Only major problem I'm having is the GPS, which managed a fix in about 2 minutes last night but today is not getting any fixes (or more than 2 satellites). I've done the "optimize for Oceania" script as I'm in Australia but it hasn't made any difference.

I vaguely remember from when I was running FroyoMod back when it was 2.2.0 that there was a file I could delete somewhere that helped to get the GPS working. Does anyone know where this is?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
I was just recommeding that it will be helpful if tracker app remains uninstallable as a part of rom, so the thief will not be able to uninstall. In this case, Luca's opinion counts more than just anyone else. Your order to me is so immature that u even did not read the reason I suggested it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
Thanks for your kind opinion, but these apps are so small with few kbs, that it should not eat more ram as you think. Check yourself.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] meilstone:
Why do i have to wait 9 minutes for GPS connection, even after enabling the GPS options for europe in the froyomod settings. And if i have a connection it messes up every 30 sec. Is this standard at the moment? because i know from earlier times that i was able to use my milestone as a navigator.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kawaisaki:

Is there a way to define an app to be kept in memory under all circumstances and thus not be killed?

Like the sys.keep_app_1 setting in CM7
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
happy easter to everyone :D

wanted you to know that was working on a new "mod" app and that can take some tme to testng and probably the release can be postponed of a day or two!

about keeping apps alive, thisis no need as the ram here is not a problem (also in cm6 there is plenty of ram, the problem is due of gingerbread)

If you want, you can search for zeppelinox that had a nice method!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] slym84:
oh, u doing great luca. I so want to get out of the stock froyo, but only the GPS is holding me back. Can't even play a decent game always reboots the phone. want to thank you again for ur commitment.

PS: ignore my signature..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Why don't you install one from the market? I know of at least one app that can install itself in system so a data wipe won't remove it. I'm sure there are more of 'm
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] yoda_143:
Could you please elaborate on that? A quick forum search for "zeppelinox" didn't give me anything useful.

The Sony Liveview app that is used to provide updates to the Liveview device runs in the background and often gets killed when opening a big website, playing a game or such.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evolucja:
Same here. Downloaded new version and it doesn't have connection to the internet.

Thank yuo
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kenosis:
A question to those who are running/trying this ROM.

How is battery life?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
See my previous post, 6h30 am battery lv=80%, now 8h am, remain 70%, after 9 hours, battery remain 70%, so bad!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mardurhack:
Luca 2 things:

1) THANK YOU...again :)

2) PLEASE! Change the boot animation!!! XD Ahuahuahu!

"One more thing..." ©Apple inc.

It's peanut jelly time! It's peanut jelly time!! XD

[IT] Grandissimo! :) Ci dovevi mettere Brian però dei Griffin! :P [/IT]

EDIT: Seriously, All 2.2.1 have a brightness bug. Auto brightness doesn't decrease when you put the phone in the darkness from under a light. It stucks at the same level (altough soft-keys turn on!). This is an accepted bug in CM6 for Milestone (doshaska) and a possible workaround is to set "decrease britgthness" (or something like this) in "Cyanogenmod settings"...Could you please enable it together with all the stuff you took from CM6? Thanks!! :)

EDIT2: Your rom is AMAZING! I didn't test battery life yet...But everything else seems REALLY delicious! :) Congrats! (Especially for the "events = 60" in the UI! Is blazing smoother!)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
I decided to give FroyoMOD 2.0.0 a try, I am currently using kabaldan's CM6.

First thing I tested is the a-GPS. It does not work properly. Kabladan had this very same problem with CM6 and resolved it by injecting a proprietary library from Motorola. Check here how he fixed it. I tried applying update.zip from the last post but expectedly got boot loop :) Could be due to this update addressing issue with charge mode too (not only framework and services). I didn't try replacing those two files only due to lazines :)

Is there a way to reduce the amount of home screens. 3 is more than enough for me and for many people too. Is it hard coded in official 2.2 from Google?

I'll keep posting reports as it goes.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] saikoz:
could anybody post the new 3dgallery.apk fixed by 89luca89 :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
just open the ROM update file, you will find it under /system/app as well as all other APK's
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
luca, one more thing I noticed. The script that is supposed to add android_id to the settings db is executing every time phone boots and tries to add new randomly generated string. I think you need to make it run only once and give users a choice what ID to put there (for example read it from a file on the sdcard). And ensure it runs only once. Changing it every time phone boots is not a good thing and I believe it could break some things like Google app backup ability. On top of all I noticed script doesn't work quite well. It creates the entry, but value is null (empty). At least that was the case with my phone.

I have manually added the value in settings db and changed permissions of the script to 640 (removed execute) so it doesn't execute upon boot anymore.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] the solitaire:
Did you reboot after charging?

Seems that the currently used kernels for motorola milestone all have this one issue:

If after disconnecting the charger you do not reboot your phone, the phone does not go into sleep mode, whichdrains the battery.

A reboot fixes this, and you get (or at least I have) battery usage almost similar to the usage in 2.1.36 android.

I currently have a 30-40% loss of power during the first 24 hours, then another 30-40% on the next 24 hours (light use, which means sending and receiving a bunch of sms, sending some mails, the occasional phonecall, no battery management by apps like setcpu) and recharge after roughly 48-52 hours.

If I recharge and do not reboot batery drains about 10% every 1-2 hours
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
Yes i did.

And i found some info:

-With cronos, froyo v2, when check battery history, it shows:

+phone idle=40%~50%

+cell standby= 35~40%

+display~8%.

-With hono v3:

-Display ~40%

-few % in phone idle and cell standby.

So in idle state, froyo and cronos roms still drink a lot of battery!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sir_shady:
i've tried to do your way, now the status is "complete" but my problem still here. "phone.apk" always force close repeatly :( i can't understand why.

it just happened to Cm6 and froyomodv2 :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
is the location tag in the official twitter app working for anyone?

mine say it can not determine location.

it works fine in tweetdeck, maps, browser etc.

any fix for this?

and its not that important but i'm interested if there will there be a fix for the new youtube app too?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Hi 89luca89

This is not true, it's the issue only of the Motorola's beta 2.2.1 firmware, not a generic issue affecting all ROMs that only use the kernel and the minimum required set of the proprietary files extracted from it (but otherwise are compiled from the sources).

In the CM6 port, there's no problem with Android ID (and there was no need to address it in any way).

I don't think that setting it to a different random number every boot is good idea.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quintasan:

I like your mod very much, and I appreciate your work. I have a small problem though, I can't upgrade the apps in /system dir through Market, any idea why is this happening?

Any idea how to solve this? I turned USB Debugging on in the Applications menu
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Just push the app that you want to the system/app

Or use root explorer.

If you don't have that, use Super Manager, which will do it for free

Thanks for informing about this app. Installed "Super Manager" and checked but it seems its not working. I locked several apks and tried to normally uninstall, they got uninstalled. :mad: it seems you are using this app, have you tested this?

may be someone suggest other app, which can lock the installed apps (making it uninstallable) effectively. Anyone else tested this on milestone?

With root explorer anyone can delete apps pushed in system/app. Can anyone suggest more powerful method?

Wow, gps working at some extent.

@luca, take you own time dude.

Meanwhile in desperation to resolve the GPS issue I have found a fix by KABALDAN which did not fixed the GPS issue fully but SURELY did some improvements.

I pathched following file "gps.sholes.so" found IN THIS POST and guess what, I got around 6 satellites viewed in 60+ seconds and surprisingly three got locked and I got 6 to 9 meters accuracy in location for first time in this 2.6.1b rom but in opensky, but hey, its still good sign.

This was really happy moment for me, now at least in opensky I can get some locking with this patch.

Its just a small file with single line command workaround hence I ask everyone to try this, before the new version of rom is released.

Thanks to KABALDAN.:D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
oh lol

I thought "zeppelinox" didn't look right but usually it's a missing "p" or "e" so I missed it.

heh
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I wasn't recommending Super Manager for locking stuff. I recommended it as an alternative to root explorer for managing files.

If I recommend to somebody a nice car and they decide to see if it floats, then I would suprised if they come back and say "it's not working".

I would also be surprised if they can't drive a car and yet come back and say "it's not working"

Because I never said the damn thing would float.

The car was perfectly fine. You're just doing it wrong because you can't drive.

btw, the lock apks works fine - because it's meant to to lock somebody out from running that app.

If you check the "Enable APP Protector" option, those locked items don't run until you put in the password.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
@zeppelinrox

Thanks a lot for your kickass reply for my noob question. I deserve it, for my ignorance. I am really grateful for it. As ignorance is great offense these days, will try to come out of it as soon as possible with the help of geniuses like you, who explain so many things so "nicely". Thanks again.

Will checkout app protector option and will let you know.

BTW, I am still learning...

EDIT: After enabling the app protector, any uninstall attempt on locked app, is asking the password. thanks again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Well I understand that maybe english isn't your first language plus Super Manager's help isn't the greatest.

If you Enable App Protector it will also enable a password to access Settings.

It's better to only have a few apps locked tho or else you will forever be putting in the password whenever you run an app :p

It's annoying but it can also put up the password screen whenever you turn on the display.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
thanks a lot sir,

later realized that while execution of apps we need to enter password. prerry annoying, Removing app protector...other options of super manager are good.

Will try to find some other option/method. please dont mind my ignorance. thanks a lot.

Hi all

I come across a weird issue. It is that the Chinese characters doesn't show up properly and turn to question marks (???) under Root Explorer but there's no problem when browsing by bluetooth file transfer. The problem with that is the app (.apk format) with Chinese characters can't be recognized by the system so that it can't be installed. It just works fine when changing to English but it must be changed by PC as it just changed back to question marks when I edited under Root Explorer. It's sometimes quite inconvenience as I might install some apps on the go from website. It didn't happen in FroyoMOD v.2.5 or other ROM. Does anyone know why it is?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Kai7os:

There's phone.apk and Mms.apk under /system/app when you browse the rar file of HC theme. Perhaps you could test by taking out these two apk and apply the theme to see if the phone and sms work.
