@Neldrin

MIUI is closed source, doing it is like porting some sense features...Without original code is nearly impossible...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] romedo:
Thanks @89Luca89 I was checking the forum every second, because I was impatient to get this update, this is such a great rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] exboy:
Please add option DSI kernel bug fix same CM7 0.08-11.03.27 RC3 :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Wond3r:
Will update if the battery life is better than 2.6
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Actually... "PH" stands for the Philippines. Not Philadelphia. :)

5step clock and ext4 support. Sweeet! Thanks Luca!

Just a question though, does this mean I can do the 5 line script on the CM7 thread to convert my existing ext2 to ext4 as well?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
The app2ext script I use is different (comes from Darktremor's app2ext) and includes also a separated script for Dalvik2sd

BUT The ext4 support is there so you can convert to ext4 seamlessy :D

Will create a update.zip so the fix will be optional and flashable!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
What means "no memory problems like gingerbread"?

How much free ram get with this rom?

Apps wont be killed?

Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joost81:
Thanks luca! Will download & play tomorrow :)

How does this ext work? Is it apps2ext? Do I need to partition my sd card? Will I loose all programs which are on the sd (normal a2sd way?)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Gingerbread uses more RAM than FroYo as the system process.

Only thing I want to see in this ROM is the Notification Widget from CM, because I really don't like this one ;).

First I was staying on CM7 because of the themes/not.widget, but I see that new themes are coming on this ROM. So, can u replace galaxy s(or nexus s i dont remember not.widget with cm widget?

***please*** :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
I see. Bur there is really a difference on free ram or is "just about the same"?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Free RAM is higher on FroyoMOD. On CM7, I wasn't able to get in the menu of Asphalt 6. On FroyoMOD, I could choose the race, and than it would crash.

Also, on FroyoMOD PES2011 was faster than on CM7, like 2-3 times faster (players are damn fast xD).

So, if u play games, go with froyo.

I'm on CM7 just because I like how it looks. If I could get the same theme/design as it is in CM7, I would definitely get back to Froyo.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Thanks, I'll try this rom, but I'll will like to know some numbers :D

So... how much ram are you getting?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
with this rom, I get from 50 to 65 mb free with jit on, almost 90 with jit of (if using task killers, if not, always 50/70)

@n3n00

This is the same as CM7 widget, the functions are the same, in what differs?

(cause CM did ttake the scrollable things from cvpcs as I did...)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Thanks luca :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Hmm...i dont think so. I never had the scrollable widget in CM. Difference is that I can change how many toggles I can have. Over here it is always 6 toggles + scroll. Too many buttons I think :P. And buttons here are bigger than in CM ;).

ROM is fast and everything btw :) but this really bothers me xD.

And I'm thinking about Honeycomb v2 for this ROM :) looking the same as the one Im currently using on CM7. But Im still a newbie with themes so Ill need to check out the zips and see the differences between FM themes and CM themes :).

(Im using 6 toggles now, but there is no scroll and buttons are smaller(or I think that...)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
yes the button are bigger fro my choice, as they are too small for my tastes to be used without thinking a lot!

Yes the widget aren't able to be disabled, this need some work that probably will be in 3.0 final, but I think that there is a simple work around:

The widget are re-ordable! You can choose the 6 you must use and put them ahead, and leave the others apart...but still able to reach them if you need :D

About themes, you're free and welcome to make new themes :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] inkognito3:
cmon n3n00 and make new theme :)...im gonna buy u a coffe :P

I need looks and RAM's and with FoyoMOD i can have both if u make theme for us ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
No need to do that because that would be stealing of someones idea, just to get donations. Developer of the orig.theme asked not to steal his work, and if somebody wants to "port" the theme, he should be asking him. :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leisures:
gallery 2D FC ,i had to change it to 3D and works.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Didn't fully understand this. Those buttons are too small or too big for your liking? I mean, buttons from ur ROM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Kai7os:
I love this rom! thank you!@#

wheres the updated gingerbread theme tho? XD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
I'm talkin about original buttons 48x48px (used also in cm6 and 7)

I use 65x65px ones to fit better my needs (and are the one included with the rom!)

If you make a theme, you can change the buttons easly, if you want smaller one, just make smaller icons! 48x48 are the original from CM, 65x65 are mine! :D

@ALL

Uploading 2.6.1b, forgot to include some libs, so music and Gallery MAY FC...

So just have some little patience :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Ok! About 2.6.1b, good thing I still didn't download 2.6.1, it would be pain in the ass to redownload and flash again x).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Zarrick19:
mmmmm the new music player is a bit laggy, can I have back the MusicMOD from the v2.6.0 please ? :)

Anyways, I try all the ROMs for Milestone, CM6.1.2, CM7 (the WORST!), MIUI, Iceandfire and many more, but only yours works perfectly, fast, stable, a lot of RAM ... Just a PERFECT ROM !

PS: my first post in dev. forum, hi all :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ClausG76:
I have been using the version 2.5 for a while now. And i must say, that this has been the best rom for the Milestone i have tried so far. There is only one slight problem and i don't know if it's corsed by the rom it self. My phone sometimes reboots while using apps. The last tree times i was using Squeeze controller, Market and last the Fpse (psx emulator). It's just soft reebots, so i doesn't have to enter my pin code. And it doesn't get hot like the processor should be stressed. Has anyone else tried this?

BTW I use ADW launcher and only have 2 widgets running (Pure calendar and clock)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Zarrick19:
Me too recognize some spontaneous reboots, also when using apps, never when phone sleeps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
there are probably some freeze (and sequential soft-reset) due to DSI errors!

I'm updating 2 update.zip to anyone want to fix individually this error :D

Hi to you :D

Yeah the new music is very stressfull for the hardware but F**k is beautiful xD

If you want, just go in FroyomodExtras->ExtrasSettings-> Switch music mod and you have classic music mod installed :D

My Extras settings are explained in First topic, I cleared it a lot, hope that someone at least read it xD xD :D

PS: Hi t you :D

@ALL

As mentioned earlier, I'm updating 2.6.1b with gallery fix, and also, updating 2 updates.zip, one for anyone wants to fix the DSI errors, and one to revert back :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Zarrick19:
Yeah, I tryed to switch to the MusicMOD but it takes a lot of time (3min. since CM7 was installed, strange, Davik and cache cleared) and at the end it crashes :(

Anyway, I wait for the 2.6.1b, if the reboots will fixed, it will be the best ROM world has ever seen ! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Before update, a newbie question, where are located the wallpapers? I want to save the wallpapers from the rom Im using prior to update to froyomod...

And another not so newbie question :D This roms comes with cifs module?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
2.6.1b RELEASED

on 2ND Posdt you'll FIND THE DSI ERROR FIX AND THE FIX REMOVER!

READ THE DISCLAIMER PLEASE!

@Zarrik19

I do not understand the problem, what do you mean with CM7? O.o

@will5

wallpapers are in the launcher.apk!

no cifs are not pre-loaded as the included File manager, is able to to connect to any wifi shared folders :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
ohh.. thats great :D

but... there is no media player that can connect to a shared folder... right? (without cifs module)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ClausG76:
Thanks. I'll just update to your latest version. Or do i also have to use the fix after i update.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
The ROM is 2.6.1b BUT in download link is 2.6.1, IS A TYPO SORRY ALL!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Thanks for clearing that up.

Ill test right now, but please, let me know how can I access to a shared folder with any mediaplayer, without having cifs preloaded :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] giugiu:
Thx for your effort, i will update during the weekend!

Ciao e grazie!

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zuli007:
FC when I run gallery. In second post link is to 2.6.1 b ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Yes it is.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zuli007:
OK thanks, re-download and install ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Everything working fine here :D

Sorry to ask again, but how can I have cifs loaded?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] framir:
Congratulations because this ROM is really our big stone fly!

Only a thing... I still have the problem of big "+" on the calendar app!

For the rest I had no problems!

Tomorrow try GPS!

Hello and congratulations again!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] strikermdd:
The honeycomb theme its compatible with the newer version of froyomod? And a question ? Its possible to change the background of the status bar widgets ? because, at last for me its transparent and makes the visual very strange at all.

thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Honeybread theme port

Since i am receiving pm's from people requesting me to make this theme, i am doing so.

Will keep you posted. All credits to Haxzamatic, the original creator of the theme. My job is only to make it work for FroyoMOD.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Good thing I haven't flashed the phone yet. I've only downloaded the 2.6.1 zip last night, and today I'm waking up to a 2.6.1b. :D

Thanks for the quick fixes Luca. And thanks for including scripts to disable the dsi fixes. I will most likely disable them. As I'm not getting reboots, and I'm noticing huge graphic performance losses when I added the dsi fixes back in 2.6.0.

@sileshn: lol. You're a very in-demand guy here in xda. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
BTW, I noticed that most themes in Luca's Theme page have not been updated since the 2.6.0 release, will all those update March 21 still work with the 2.6.1c release?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
So far, no problems. Very snappy. The only issue I found was with the call slider being small on one side when receiving call.

The only rom where apps2ext works OTB.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
OK... this is terribly wierd. Am I the only one encountering a bootloop?

Below is what I did:

1. Charge phone to full

2. Download 2.6.1b

3. Remove unwanted apps inside system/app

4. Wipe dalvik and cache

5. Flash slimmed 2.6.1b

6. Reboot

7. I hear the droooooid sound once, and the Nexus animation (which is cool btw) shows

8. After 5 seconds, I notice that the animation goes blank and start from the beginning. This will continue for several minutes.

9. I thought that maybe it's the 10overclock not being compatible with my phone again, so I decided to get the one from CM7 RC4. Same bootloop.

10. I am currently restoring my pre-flash nandroid.

Help? :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Nandroid restore to 2.6.0 successful. Anyone know what my problem above could be? :(

I don't need a data wipe do I?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Wipe dalvik/cache? No data? If you are flashing over a different rom, data wipe is recommended.

Also, don't make any changes to the overclock file. Remove unwanted apps and then flash. If it boots up, you know where your problem lies.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Any help making cifsmanager work? :o

When I launch cifsmanager, it says "app is not installed on the phone" ... uninstalled and installed again, nothing changes.

I found this...

Q: I have installed CifsManager but launching the app fails with something like "Application not installed on your phone"

A: This is not a problem caused by CifsManager but a bug in your ROMs launcher. Look for an updated version of your launcher.

:confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I'm only coming from the 2.6.0 version, so I'm assuming that no data wipe is needed.

I will try your other recommendations of flashing a pure stock FroyoMod 261b though.

As another precaution, I'm going to download a fresh file right now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Yes. If you are upgrading from 2.6.0, data wipe should not be needed. Also try wiping dalvik/cache after flashing the rom.

That works sometimes.

Anyway, very good build. Only the slider issue needs to be sorted out.

how to ext2 \ 3 \ 4 can u plz help me to do so .... or send me some link with Complete A-Z instructions on it.... thanks using Froyo MOD 2.6.1 ..... with Milestone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I have yet to reflash 261b, so I can't test it yet. But AFAIK, you just need to perform five commands to convert ext2 to ext3 then to ext4.

Five commands.

Can anyone confirm if these commands work with FroyoMod?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 9911726614:
But how to convert Ext2 ?... in this commands i think Ext2 is already there and we have to convert it to ext3 and then ext3 to ext4 but mainly how to make ext2 partition.....? and also how to use there commands in console of OR or in android teminal emulator .....?

thanks for reply.....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] drewx85:
do you install any theme?

For me, there's no problem at first after I updated to 2.6.1. However after I install the Gingerbread theme, the big "+" comes back.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Thx man :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Bug found here, besides the one described early :) (you can launch programs like cifmanager from the notification area or holding menu and selecting from the latest opened apps, but it wont launch from launcher)

When you change bluetooth equalizer settings on dsp manager, it has no effect on bt audio. If you change setting on "speaker phone" it reflects on bt audio.

Same bug cm7 was having on 03/16 and prior releases, and was fixed on the latest ones.

0.08-11.03.27 RC3

- bluetooth audio DSPManager fix

Anyone from Israel can confirm that the GPS Is getting location?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] framir:
Yes, Gingerbread theme.

How can restore original theme or solve in other way the problem?

Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
@ALL

Alla themes need to be updated to remove the big + calendar bug .... and also will update a fully faithful Ginger theme (thanks to sileshin icons and colors) will be distinguable only from the absent shut off animation :D

but right now i.m at the university so you all have to wait this late evening that i return home....

Byyye!

Don't worry about the GB theme, Luca. I made one for you. Will be up in an hour. Testing it now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
downloading and installing!

thank you again Luca for your work!!!

just a question, what are the benfits of creating an EXT4 partition on SD? is it better than using app2sd and why?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
GB theme

Hello all,

I have made a quick port of my CM6 GB theme for FroyoMOD 2.6.1. A few snapshots for anyone who wants to see how it looks.

A few things that you need to know.

The theme is based on the framework and apps of 2.6.1

I have themed both the phone.apk and phone.apk.1. So even if you change the phone apps using the Froyomod extra settings, you will see the same themed phone application.

You need to change the font colours in the status bar using the Froyomod extra settings. This is how you do it.

Froyomod Extra Settings->UI extra settings->Status Bar->clock color-> Set it to ffffff ( white )

Froyomod Extra Settings->UI extra settings->Date and provider->Date color-> Set it to ffffff ( white )

Froyomod Extra Settings->UI extra settings->Notification colours->notification ticker color-> Set it to ffffff ( white )

Procedure

Download the theme zip file, copy it to openrecovery/updates folder, wipe dalvik/cache, apply and reboot. I don't need to tell you to use AOR.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joost81:
+1 like to know as well :D (and a link to a howto would be nice :rolleyes:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
For what I've understood so far, you can create an EXT4 partition (through ABD) on your SD and install application there instead of the internal memory or on the FAT32 partition of the SD card using APP2SD. I just would like to know if it's REALLY better/faster than install them on normal FAT32 partition.. I can't find many infos about that!

PS: 2.6.1b installed, seems to fly even more than 2.6.0! Later I'll try also GPS and I'll make deep test on it.. but I'm sure it's an optimum work as usual!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I'm still encountering a bootloop after flashing 261b. :(

That is after a dalvik/cache wipe.

I even tried to dalvik/cache wipe after the flash, same thing.

This is of course, using an un-moded FroyoMod.zip.

I am currently backing stuff up via Titanium. Will re-flash after a full data wipe.

Did u turned Ur Partition to EXT 4 by Five Commands.....? i had done so but not worked how do u got it worked
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
Exactly I was confused with above. I checked and rechecked for 2.6.1b rom but it was missing. So downloaded current rom and checked size with old one, but it was only 100/200 kb difference. So i thought its same rom. Hence didnt flash. Now got this post which cleared it.

Its ok...bro...happens...

BTW, 2.6.1 do have a serious gps problem. Now I could not even get two satellites in gpstest. Tried with Asia fix in froyo extra settings and also tried with fasterfix custom entry. (0.in.pool.ntp.org) for india. Rebooted device after each changes and tried. but gps issue is still there. Could not fix satellites even outdoors with open sky. What to do now?

Now I have another problem. I myself have memory problem (not milestone, its me, human:o) and I dont remember if I had gps issue with 2.5.0 or not. May be I roll back to 2.5.0 if someone clarifies.

Do we have link to 2.5.0 rom anywhere?

gps too? Anyone getting quick gps sattelite lock in India?

EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition - Free!

I used this GREAT COMPLETE FREE windows software to partition my SDCARD to EXT2 / EXT3

Complete tutorial here

http://www.partition-tool.com/easeus-partition-manager/linux-partition-manager.htm

No commands, no headaches, do it all on pc with few mouse clicks.

You even dont need to format your sdcard FAT32 for making EXT2 partition. Funnily I even did not take backup of data on FAT32 before using this one and everything is taken care of.

Just use mouse to resize to reduce FAT32 and Create new EXT2/EXT3 partition and APPLY. Thats all! It moves data properly from selected resized area and creates new partition. Thats all. Even you can select primary for both partitions in UI.

Give your reviews if anyone uses.

WARNING: DO NOT TRY DIRECTLY CONNECTED WITH PHONE. Try only with CARD-READER connected to pc. At least I tried this way. Rest use at your own risk.
