Why do that when you can reflash the original clock (download in the startpost) without manually backing up the overclock file.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
yes that's what I meant, keep a copy of the ZIP of the standard clock in open recovery/update, so in case you can update in AOR

hey luca thanks for another great release !

just 1 problem, i dont have lights on my hw keyboard after installing v2.9, how can i fix that ?

edit: nvm, i wiped my phone and now it's working
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kurpter:
Is anyone able to help me. Most roms I use seem to auto cut off the music player when either the screen is not on or it just turns off. Am I missing a setting or something? Its hard when I'm cycling and the music keeps cutting off
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
I just think you're audio connection isn't that good anymore. The music stops when the headphone looses it's connection, not when the screen turns off. A common problem, i don't think any of our phones still have a good jack.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
@music problem

Yes, i have it too! It started after my first time with milestone injury (fall into the water ç_ç)

@fixing device

Thanks to Nadlabak, n3n00, Benny, and MANY MANY users here and in other forums, I have many sources and guides to start :D

THANK YOU! :D

I've already bought a digitizer (hope it will be ok, and not a "fake" oe...)

Have also to have spare time and screwdrivers (have to bought them also!)

And also as I'm disassembling it, I'll try to repair keyboard (that stopped working after the fall in the water ç___ç) xD xD

Today I've finished another exam, have still another 3 to do! ç_ç
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rrohanjs:
hey luca can u add the volume rocker wake option from cmextras in this rom .. plz ???
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wirapuru:
At worst hypothesis where you can't fix it.. how much costs a (probably used) milestone where you live, do you know? It's good to know just in case we could gather around some resources for one xP
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kmpksprabhu:
Hey, thanks for the link. Firstly, I got struck with ext2 file system creation. So is there any other tool. Secondly, can you explain how can I confirm I have working ext2 on my phone? Like check it on phone.

Can you guys please help me on it. Thanks in advance.

You can use rootexplorer to check your data/app folder. It should show your ext partition size. So should your /sd-ext or /system/sd folder.

Issues I am having: How do I enable the lockscreen? And, when I hit my home button, nothing happens at all. It doesnt go home. And the last one so far, when I apply Google Apps update, nothing is applied. I can't get the Market.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emarietta:
Alright ill probably get yelled at for this but its my first time on the Droid forum cause I just got one..... but can you use the milestone Roms and stuff on the Droid or is it two different things?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Two completely different things. Please do not try to flash any ROM in this forum, only makes your life difficult.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kmpksprabhu:
Thanks! guess i have created the ext2 now.

-I can also see in the OR - disk free space. 780mb in ext2.

-Also i can see in the Titanium Back up - sdcard (a2sd)-939mb (780 mbfree)

how can i see the items in this folder or where exactly is this in the phone ? can i see in the file explore. Or if it is root explorer, using which i can see the files. i dont know where to find this program. links will be useful.

btw, sd-ext is empty, in system folder there is no sd folder :). is it normal ??

In cm7, what should is set as my settings in the menu>cm7 settings>application>-checked-allow application moving... install location auto? int? ext?

one last thing, in a phone with working ext2 partition. moving app to sd card doesnt make sense right ? it wont free much memory in internal phone memory right? also let me know, if there are much tweaks i can do from here, like ext3 or 4 etc...

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
The docx file has a link to a windows app that you can use to view your ext partition. Root explorer is a paid app. I am not aware of any app that lets you see contents of your ext partition from the phone.

Leave application install location as auto.

If you use apps2ext, then apps2sd is of no use.

To convert ext2 to ext3 and ext4, check the link i have given you first. It links you to the procedure.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
When will you be available for making 2.9.1??

BTW, KO your exams first~!;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kurpter:
Thanks all for the music issue, i did think it weas think, but wasnt sure if the auto memory management was killing it off.

@89luca89 - good luck on the rebuild. it looks like a really messy operation. I looked at doing it once was the phone has an issue with a very senitive 'x' key (press any button near it or even slightly touch it and it trys to a 'search' where ever i am even though ive turned off all the short-cuts.

But i didnt want to take my phone apart after seeing the video as it know i wouldnt get it back together again.

So good luck.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sodan Tok:
Huh, Can somebody help me with 1% battery steps. I have still 10% steps, but in 2.8 i had 1% steps (on same original battery and i did full wipe before update)

I am using SE ARC theme (with my battery pngs which worked on 2.8)

I tried to copy sys_battery from original 2.9 to this theme, but nothing had changed.

Yeah and set 1% steps in extra settings doesnt work too.

Sorry for bad english.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
You can try taking battd from system/bin of a ROM with 1% increments and libandroid_servers.so from system/lib and placing them in their respective folders and reboot. It works for GB ROMs, not sure about Froyo.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sodan Tok:
Thanks but that didnt work. Im not sure what is responsible for this problem, but nobody there has it or reported it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
1% battery is included to work by default in this rom. If you are referring to having different battery png's, then you need to mod the framework-res.apk to include the extra png's. That was done for 2.8.0 by me. I have not done it for 2.9.0.

The HC theme will have it tomorrow.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] theantilag:
Thanks for the great work.

I just have one problem.

I don't know if its just me but it seems the backlight won't go off even if the screen is off. It can easily be seen at night or at full darkness.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
This is a known issue and there is a fix a few pages back. Also check OP.

Attached is the modded framework with the png's added for all battery %'s. You can replace the png's with what you want. Please note that this requires 100 battery icons and 100 battery charge icons.

A good thread to visit for battery icons is this. This is for the stock rom only. I will make a mod for each of my themes and post it here by tomorrow.

Let me know if you have any issues.

2.9 has stopped the heat problems I had with 2.8 for sure. Small issues but I'm starting to think my flash didn't go 100% well either as I'm having some serious battery life problems and other little weird behaviours.

Hope you get your milestone fixed luca, world would suck more without TheFroyoMod for us Milestoners.

Unrelated question,

Is there a way to stop my milestone from opening up to lockscreen when the keyboard is open? I've been losing some weight lately and my phone has started to open itself slightly rumbling around in my, now vast, pocket D:

USB Tethering

Hi,

I will leave my home during 2 weeks and i need to have Internet with me because of looking for an appartment. I have listened to share mobile's data connection to pc is possible. I find it in Wireless' settings and check the option but nothing happens. How can i do that?

I find an other bug unfortunately : because of Go SMS or because of FM? Whatever, the "problem" are. I don't have new message content in the status bar and sometimes, I miss some sms - no notification. It's very bad!

I put my milestone into the lowest Overclock and it is still pretty smooth and fast - less fast but it's acceptable :) !

Good luck luca for your exams and your milestone :)

Just flashed FM 2.9.0 on my MS flat keyboard and don't seem to have CRT bug, the screen turns off completely. Will test further...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Benny1988:
Hey guys,

for the first: I've flashed the 2.9.0 with CRT animations, too, and I don't have the backlight-bug. Very well for me, thanks!. (:

But:

It is possible to change something in the system to get the standard gingerbread-notifications from BeautifulWidgets?

A user from "android-hilfe.de" (German-Forum) said that I just have to change the sdk-version in build.prop from vers. 8 to vers. 9 and it should be done. For sure, it works for BeautifulWidgets, but after the reboot I become two popups from maps.apk, I mean it FC's. So I've pressed "close" the two popups. So far,... All - except the popups - works, I thought. Opened Maps.apk and the two popups was shown again, but Maps is still working till I press an option, then the popups bla,... :confused:

Anyone who can help me or something like that?

Sorry for the bad english. :(

Greets, Benny.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
That's a way to do. Just copy the notification png's in /res/drawable-hdpi-v9 folder to the /res/drawable-hdpi folder and reinstall the app. It should work. I remember another user, if i remember correctly, skadude who asked me for the same thing.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Benny1988:
Yes, it sould work, I know. But, when I do it so, I have to resign the .apk and so I lost the market-connection and also the update-notification of it. I thought, it's easier to change anything in the build.prop or so. :(

Greets, Benny.

EDIT: Or meanwhile maybe it's possible to disable the signcheck?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
No need to decompile the apk. just use 7zip/winrar to copy the png's and you should be good to go.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Benny1988:
I've tried it many times before. When I copy the files with winrar with or without unpack / decompile the .apk, put it back to /data/app and try to install it shows me ''Application not installed''. When I sign the .apk, put it back to /data/app and than (try) to install, it will be successful. So it won't be able to install it without the resign. :eek:

Greets, Benny.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Try pushing to /system/app and rebooting after giving appropriate permissions.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Benny1988:
Yeah, that will work, I know. :D Used it so a few month ago with stock Eclair-Rom, but I don't like this app in /system/.

But I just thought it's meanwhile easier to use. I see, it's not easier for now, so I have to copy the files into the .apk and resign it to use. Hum. :( Very strange to do it so with any update.

Thanks and regards, Benny.

I just remembered,... In /system/ (at least in Eclair) I've to sign the .apk, too, or it won't work. Hach, strange Linux...

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] inkognito3:
Go to settings/sound scroll down and ill finde haptice feedback and disable it...overclocks u can finde it in 2nd or 3rd post
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
I suggest NOT to overclock to 1.2GHz! Digitizers are dying even on lower clocks, so your risk is pretty high...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
While I agree that setting the vsel to 80 or higher is very bad idea, posing high risk of hw damage, I hate to see this bull**** repeated again.

Failing touchscreen digitizer seems to be one of the most common hw issues of Droid/Milestone - it's a weak point of the device design. But the piece of hw that is failing is purely passive electronic element. There's simply no possible connection between OMAP clock/vsel tampering and touchscreen digitizer failure. The change of the main CPU voltage doesn't have any influence on it.

Belive me, I know what I'm talking about ;).

Reflashed 2.9 again last night, seems all good now with regards to previous strange behaviour and terrible battery life.

Only remaining problem I have is that I haven't been able to nandroid since first trying TheFroyoMod with 2.7/2.8, even while running another ROM. Weird but not a deal breaker since I have older nandroids in case things go wrong.

I do wish I could turn off the gingerbread CTR On anim for coming out of standby, but leave it on for turning off the screen. I feel like CTR On from standby just wastes time :(.

i solved my problem installing moboplayer but is it strange that a rom doesn't have a default 3gp video player? android has it!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Stenlius:
The lockscreen vibration is not disabled, when you turn off all haptic feedback, I suppose it's related to the framework-res file, because in some theme's this vibe is off...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] inkognito3:
It has his default player...but that player can't play all videos due to coding that many videos have...

I have flashed this ROM & would like to install the back light fix but I cannot boot back in to open recovery.

I hold down the power & x button but it only loads to the yellow triangle for a split second then goes to a full boot to the normal phone mode. This happens every time I have tried.

Can anyone shed some light?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
I have this all the time. After trying, update.zip is gone.

My solution was removing the file 60_autoboot_or from /etc/init.d

Run terminal Emulator and use the following commands:

su
mountrw
rm -f /etc/init.d/60_autoboot_or

This script is there to automatically select update.zip and boot into OR when you either press "X" or select reboot into recovery. With the script gone, you'll have to press volume-up+camera button and than select update.zip
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] @home:
I have reinstalled open recovery & all is well now - thanks for that.

Now I an trying to install the back light fix. I have put it on the root of my SD card but when I go in to open recover it's not showing up. I even renamed it to update2.

Any ideas?

Does clockwork mode work with this device to install roms & other zips?

When installing v2.9.0 over v.2.8.0, I had no issues but last week I did a clean install (wiped everything) and I saw there is no player associated with the video files from the camera.

The error message I'm getting is: "No Activity found to handle..."

Ok so when I have flashed 2.9.0 with fix etc there was no call sound bug(didn't have to change from silent to normal sound), after flashing silesh hc theme with bug fix (but it has some problems with theme that I have mention to him) its all good with call but after flashing new hc theme call sound bug is there...

Could it be that theme is maybe guilty for that bug or something else...

Thanks Lucas for all these themes and, of course the best rom I've used so far! Two questions:

1. The email program still asks me to install security features therefore a screen password has to be set. I am so tired of filling password every time I unlock the screen. I thought the email program in your Tom does not need to deal with security features required by the server, right? Did I miss anything here?

2. I like the Glaxay theme very much. Is there a way to change the message shortcut on the first screen to phone? I don't use message at all:-)
