I'm experiencing failed installs in 2 video players. So far, I've tried moboplayer and vitalplayer. What video player do you guys use to play FLVs on this ROM?

Huge edit: After clearing dalvik and cache via AOR, and waiting around 5minutes for the reboot (which was slightly scary), I was able to install the both!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Yeah I been running CM612 for the longest time but flashed the update in hopes of snagging a good kernel before anybody else ;)

So after that 2 day experiment I decided to finally give this one a whirl.

With the telus the first thing i did was root it and overclock to my usual 1100mhz so I can compare apples to apples.

But I ran linpack before installing anything and the sucker cracked 16 MFLOPS hehe. Oh wait, it was 1200 mhz on that score I forgot that I could customize a speed with milestone overclock :P

Anyway after installing some stuff so that memory gets loaded up it was the same as I usually get with my tweaks.

It was actually more buggy than CM6 or FM2.6 in that sometimes I'd press the home button and there was no haptic feedback and nothing would happen. I'd hit escape and nothing would happen.

So you're not missing out on much at all if you don't ever try it.

But the surprising thing about is the the default memory killer settings are surprisingly good.

I tried a couple, I am looking for the basic 5 homescreen one and one which doesn't (hopefully) eat up too much memory.

Hi Luca...

I have the same problem with GPS. It took very long to get first fix.

I am in Indonesia. I dont have this problem with 2.4, but since 2.5 I have this problem.

Anyway.... This is a very good ROM
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
speed: Froyomod wins

stability: draw

bugs: Froyomod wins

I recommend 2 roms,

froyomod and shadowmod b3

they are equally efficient~

Official rom just has a better battery life and nothing else but laggy feeling

Dont tried official 2.2, i've heard that the bootloader is locked

and moto is suing those experts who crack it....

if you want to tried official 2.2, use sileshn's nandroid~

dont update through the official way~!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
moboplayer is the best....

I have tested those videoplayers one by one with a 852*420, 2600 kbps mp4 video

including rockplayer, moboplayer, vitalplayer, etc

only moboplayer can play it smoothly

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] holdfast043:
I have the same issue. Random restarts at least twice a day. My phone will be sitting on my desk then all of a sudden i notice the boot screen. Batter life is not consistent either.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lukas77:
I noticed this just after I flashed ROM but after few days use I think problem gone. Bur I switched off bootsound so maybe I'm wrong.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] holdfast043:
How do i use this file??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
You can open the froyomod.zip using WinRAR (I'm not sure if winzip will work, it's just that nobody here seems to use it.). Navigate to /system/etc/init.d. You should see a 10overclock there. Simply drag my file to that folder, and let WinRAR overwrite it.

After that, close WinRAR and flash your updated froyomod.zip (with overclock undervolts removed), and see if your phone is now more stable.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonefail:
This is getting crazy...I can't install/update almost every app I try to get from the market, I can't install apk files from my sdcard, and I can't even restore some apps with titanium backup. I don't think it's Froyomod issue because I've had market issues in cyanogenmod (main reason why I switched roms). I've cleared the market data, cleared the download manager data, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, rebooted, etc...nothing works. Anyone else have installling problems? Is the some log files I can check just incase? This is really annoying...help please :( or point me to the knowledge so I can help myself
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Root Explorer, go to etc/init.d and c/p 10overclock (overwrite). You need to check RW before so it will show RO.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] linkandzelda:
Thanks for that it was helpful. Definitely gonna stay on this rom ;)

Now just to get Launcher Pro to be my default launcher on bootup....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Just clear Dalvik and Cache. (The reboot might take longer than usual.) It should work after that.

I don't know about you guys, but my benchmark for a ROM has always been "Would it be able to have 'sms popup' and 'saymyname' constantly in the background. And, will it be able to run 'Need for speed'."

And this ROM was able to do both. Excellent work Luca! I'm currently thinking of turning JIT on. And turning boot sound off. Will turning off the bootsound make my droid animation less choppy?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shuweee:
I'm having the same issue. reflashed several times, wipe cache/dalvik several times too. still unable to update or download from the market. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shuweee:
not sure if i'm the only one but having market issue, and also the speed doesnt seems to be that much of difference compare to 800mhz. Reverting back to 2.5 as i'm having nothing but problem with this update.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonefail:

Ignore any error. It works fine :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] linkandzelda:
This might be a general Android question but also might be because of this rom.

I can't get Launcher Pro to be my default launcher upon bootup. It works fine after booting but right after I unlock it the Launcher Pro is loaded, but then the stock Launcher loads over the top of it. Pressing the home button goes back to LP but i'm pretty sure they are now both running as phone performance is slower and freezes on random things.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thehaunted:
Try home switcher for froyo...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] linkandzelda:
That didn't work initially but after a few reboots it seems the old launcher isn't launching anymore :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hagizma:
i still didnt get any answer yet and i can say 2.6 is worse on battery life acording to 2.5 its not even 1 day without proper usage.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Wond3r:
I came from froyomod 2.4 to 2.6. I skipped 2.5, here are my thoughts:

+ more free memory

I was getting around 39mb max on 2.4 after clearing tasks, now I get in the low 50s

+ boot animation, and option to disable boot sound

- BATTERY LIFE. Its worse, not much I have to say about that, its just worse

- Reboots when updating and downloading from the market very often .. as I type this my phone is stuck in a boot cycle and I have to pull the battery

- Widget dissapears ... I have advanced task manager, and I use the widget for it to kill tasks on a press of it. It was working at first but then the widget did not display properly once do I removed it and went to re-add it and the widget was not listed anymore. I uninstalled the app, installed it again, and the same thing happened, the widget dissapeared from my list of widgets

I am very tempted to switch back to 2.4 but I just hope you can release an update soon to fix the issues. Please dont want until you get a bunch of new features to release an update, just fix these issues first. Even releasing a 2.6.5 froyomod would suffice as I like the available free memory but the battery life is not good and I cant update apps properly!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
Install again the app and search in settings > app. and have a look where did the device installed itself. I bet you it's in the sd-card! So ... move it to the internal storage and you will able to have the widget back. ;)

SENT FROM MY MILESTONE POWERED BY GINGERBREAD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
If configured properly, all you really need is 30 - 35 mb free.

Any more than that the performance just plateaus anyway.

The widget thing may be because it gets installed to the sd card (moved to sd)

The task killer thing isn't good on froyo.

Use the built in task killer to manage memory properly...

When you have time, read up in the supercharge thread

Just a heads up.

Some apks are NOT zipaligned so be sure to do that.

It's easy enough to do in AOR
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Khul:
No it doesnt. Only AGPS works, GPS does not work.

Thanks luca for the most perfect rom. i have been up for 60 hrs which is great compared to 5 hrs.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skribzy:
Stepped back from CM7 due to dropped text issue to 2.6. Have to say I forgot how quick the Froyo ROM's are! Top work.

*edit - I'm seeing the issue with not all of the "answer" slider being visible on the lockscreen. Doesnt really matter as I can still answer it but thought i'd report!*
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] difontane:
Great rom! My favorite. Thank you Luca!

Maybe I'm stupid, but i can't understand how i can use my ext2 partition on SD card. Anybody use app2sd+ scripts or something else (like in miui rom)? How i can mount my ext2 partition in FroyoMod 2.6.0? Step-by-step instruction for me very needed. Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
Its seems everyone have different issues with same ROM.

FroyoMOD v2.6.0 is atually proved great than all other roms.

some say is its damn slow, and I found it very fast, very less launcher lag.

some say very low on free memory. I never got memory less than 35mb. But mostly it is always between 48 to 78mb. Ran google earth, used for a while and closed it, and found 78mb free for some time. But never got low memory issue.

some say camera does not work, but found it great and even auto-focus work fine.

some say market does not connect, was never a problem for me.

battery life is so good, i can use it for around two days with optimum phone use without multimedia.

I only got minor issue about GPS that it does not lock satellites faster. It takes some time and open to sky area, may be a window. Otherwise its still working fine without any serious issues people are mentioning.

Thanks a lot, 89luca89.

PS: he he he, my wife got scared with that boot sound "DROID" which sounds like ghosts voice at around 2am while she was sleeping. anyways...still not disabled it.:D

Even I am also looking for such step-by-step guide. I already have 900mb EXT2 partition set as primary on my 8gb card and tried some options but none of them worked. many a times found incomplete instructions or unrelated command files at many places. once I even crashed rom and had to reinstall it. Anyways...seems no one here have good step by step method to install app2ext. Seems some of them got it working with trial and error and they dont remember how they did it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iranterres:
As of GPS issues, i'm still experiencing a huge time to fix the position even after the faster fix... I'm seriously considering moving to CM7 (even the gingerbread) because i'm a heavy GPS user and i need it badly...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] holdfast043:
I was having many restart issues and just poor performance issues.

After clearing everything and moving up to 2.6 I was still having some issues. After setting up this 10overclock file my phone has not restarted once, battery performance is 10x better, and just overall performance is great.

thanks a lot!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fmohiy:
Same case here also from Egypt

AGPS works but GPS does not work.

Great Rom by the way, thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Wond3r:
I dont really care about free memory much as long as the phone runs fine ... and it doesnt, the battery is used up much faster and the phone reboots too many times when trying to install or update apps.

Theres needs to be a fix. I am reading a bunch of posts on here about phones being rebooted. This is not stable.

As far as the task killer goes, when the phone begins lagging and i open up my task manager and see all of these apps running and I hit 'kill all' and then my phone magically isnt lagging anymore, I think it helps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Glad it worked for you mate.

@wond3r: Try to use my 10overclock file (which is based on CM7). It should minimize, if not eliminate your restart issues. I beg to disagree, this is one of the more stable ROMs that you'll find out there.

BTW, GPS issue here in the Philippines too.

As for people looking for APP2Ext. I have it working using sileshn's tutorial. sileshn's the man. :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] noc123:
I've got some questions.

1. Is there a possibility to change names of photos? Instead of date I want name like: Picture01, Picture02 etc.

2. Can I change folder where my photos will be saved?

3. I have problem with GPS. It takes a long time to fix. FasterFix is not helping. Usually in FroyoMod 2.4 it took a few seconds, now 1-2 minutes. Sygic Aura see sattellites but, It looks like problem with connection. Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Wond3r:
where can I find the file and directions for how to install it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Back read a few pages my friend.

File is in this post: 10overclock

Instructions are in here: Overclock propervolt
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Love this rom but I have only 3 bugs to report:

- Without data turned on, the gps takes a lot of time to get a location (tried the faster fix but it didn't make a difference);

- the 3D gallery crashes every now and then (it happens when passing from a photo to another one; it slides the next photo a bit then freezing for a second, then going back to the albums list);

- on random occasions the phone doesn't ring, it vibrates but doesn't ring. It's not a volume thing and not a caller setting. It happens when it's on the desk, in my pocket, very random.

Any solutions to these issues? Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Does FroyoMod v2.6.0 come default overclocked? Because I calibrated my battery yesterday following zeppelinrox's guide, but am still having some below average battery life.

If it's not overclocked, how would I go about overclocking it to a safe temperature and speed, and get better battery life?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Wond3r:
Ok, I will try that. If you've removed the undervolts, wont the battery be worse? (also, I'm running at 700mhz, while you are at 900 I believe)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Wond3r:
It is overclocked to about 900mhz

What is your battery life like? In terms of hours
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
The rom is default overclocked...JUST SEE FIRTS POST NO?

About battery calibration:

There is a tool called FroyoMod Extras...use that...there is battery calibration too...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Thanks, I should have seen that but of course I didn't!

@Wond3r, in terms of hours, my battery went from fully charged to 20% after 6 and a half hours when I had calibrated the battery the previous night and it lasted much longer than that.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] efjbdejong:
I love this ROM.

Only problem for me is a very slow gps fix (netherlands). Even after using fasterfix.

Can this problem be solved in anyway?

EJ
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
To answer all of your questions about overclocks, below is a comparison:

FroyoMod OC settings:
900MHz @ 56vsel
500MHz @ 40vsel
350MHz @ 30vsel
250MHz @ 25vsel

CM7 OC settings (This is what my 10overclock contains):
900MHz @ 60vsel
700MHz @ 49vsel
500MHz @ 44vsel
250MHz @ 33vsel

Yes, your Milestone will use more juice. But it's a small price to pay for the sake of stability.

My Milestone lasts 24 hours under moderate usage.

If your question is, can't my Milestone use less vsel? It's a question that only you can answer, via trial and error. You set your target vsel first (in my case 60vsel), and then pump the frequency up until the phone boot loops.

My phone bootloops if I try 1GHz @ 60vsel. (And possibly, I have the same hardware as Kabaldan, thus, I'm using his other freq settings.)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Btw Luca, when should I activate the calibration script? Should I click it after I fully charged? Or when I am at 5% battery?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Here's my values with no reboots on stock APAC.

900-> 58

700-> 46

500-> 36

250->28
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Do you get reboots on 900@56vsel too?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Sometimes.

Hi !

A minor thing, I could not find how to activate word suggestions while typing with hardware keyboard.

Thank you for this very good ROM btw !
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nnkk:
me too

I have to share this it happened 3 times, so it's not a coincidence.

After about 45 hours of uptime, phone freezes or reboots and after that every few hours, do the same lock ups, reboots etc.

Solution

wipe both caches no DATA from AOR and for the next 45 hours all is as it should be, with milestone working flawlessly.

Very strange, as if the kernel cann't manage the building/refreshing of the cache.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenosapien213:
@kawaisaki: the word predictions apparently do NOT work at all with FroyoMOD. 89luca89 said it might be because he compiled this ROM from AOSP sources, and those are most likely not even meant for phones with HW Keyboards.

you could use an alternative keyboard like Swiftkey or Better Keyboard (I got word predictions on HW keyboard to work with those), but they use up A LOT more RAM than the default Android IME. :-(
