Regarding the MAPS 4.x subject, I really was after an unmodified version, thought this BRUT version was only some minor mod but I don't need an offline maps or sortof. But thanks for the tips anyways sileshn and luca.

I went after some original apks with no luck until I thought on unistalling Maps through the Market itself and what a good surprise when it rolled back to 4.6.0! Now it runs very lightly, no useless (for me) 3D or any other feature I didn't miss yet.

I recommend to anyone who wants a simple Maps solution, yet lightweight, to try to rollback through the Market. I'm satisfied so far.

(ps. this was on FroyoMod 2.9.2)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sörnäinen:
What? Uninstalling it through the market rolls it back to the 4.6.0 version? That's cool, I'll try. :-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
Probably because the one in system is 4.6 :-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wirapuru:
Yeah I would have mentioned it, just forgot. Thanks for keeping that, by the way ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
I knew one day it wuould have been precious xD xD (kidding :P)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wirapuru:
lol but it was, you don't know how much, 5.x+ Maps was impossible to me. =)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
Is the rom going ok to all of you? :D

I see no reports so I assume is going well XD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sörnäinen:
Very happy here. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Had a few reboots but I think that's due to a DSI error. (Still need to find out how to investigate that)

Otherwise, I think this is your most stable release for as long as I'm using it.:cool:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cesarguaro:
Everything is fine here too... excelent rom... i wish we can change the themes in fm like the miui rom hehehe...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fzelle:
Had reboots with 800ulv, but with normal 800oc everything is fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Basian Mile:
Its nearly the same easy when u use Metamorph. Its like a SecredWeapon for Themes!

And here, luca, nor problems so far too.

ust one Simple:

When i press the CameraButton i can choose (2.7) what CameraApp i will start. Since Update to 2.9.3 its not possible anymore. I wish to have it fixed.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mblaster4711:
The ROM looks good and run as charm, better then 2.9.2.

But i still have the follwoing Bugs/Errors/...:

- Wrong Bootanimation, there are still a four-colored-X shown ;)

- Calendar-Bug (you wrote about) :(

- Ringtone-Bug, Workaround ist still of use :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
Mine was going good but after a while caused problems, random no network problems (fixed with reboot) and loads of slow ups... changed ROMs for a bit but gonna go back as I miss it!

There's a problem that I notice: I cannot install Whatsapp because it says the device is out of memory (while theres actually enough)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] buddmeister:
Hey Luca thanx for this rom. I skipper .1 and .2 cus of bugs. Loving this one. Got one little niggle I don't think anyone has mentioned when making a call and I think answering one the loudspeaker turns on straight away. Anyone know why? Some people have said it may be a dirty usb port and to clean it. Other than that lightning fast and good bat as before. Ow I installed with every wipe x3 before and x3 after. Keep it up, one last thing my mrs has a sgs2 mmmm I want to flash ure rom but she won't let me :-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aoi_sora9x:
I got the same error on CM6. I think it's unrelated and unspecific to this rom xD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andreju:
Luca, BTW, excellent rom, this 2.9.3 now. The first one in quite a few versions that I'm willing to install onto my wife's phone so she doesn't kill me if it doesn't work ;)

Okay, it's still got GPS, calendar etc bugs, but we'll survive (turning off GPS, replaced the stock calendar a while ago anyway etc).

Now, the first one in ages that doesn't freeze my phone on 'stock' 1G OC.

Can I just delete the maps.apk from /system/app or is there something else to do? What will die if I delete it? For navigation I'm using Motonav, some other things are also using the GPS and location fix.

Anybody had some luck with the Desk Migrate SW for migration of home screens? It doesn't even start on my phone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
You can safely remove the maps.apk, you can also remove the street.apk

maps is only related to GPS like all other (gps using) software is related to it. Programs that use Google Maps intergration can use a library that's provided separately from maps.apk.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] legalghost:
Best rom ever :)

FM 2.9.3 is the best.. milestone can get.. No MIUI, CM6 or CM7 can beat this rom..

Fast and Stable.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Exostenza:
I tried to install this from OR 1.46 and it gives me the installation bar and then just reboots the recovery.... I have installed many other ROMs and this is the first time I have had this problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Try using FuFu's Minimod. It's based on OR 1.46 so all you have to do is overwrite the files in OR already existing for your OR.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
See if you have not corrupted some file in /OpenRecovery folder, download again the recovery (or Use minimod by FuFu or Androidiani by me)

Also re-download the rom from a different mirror maybe corrupted file!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuisLAN:
Same problem here!

I'm also wondering if there is any fix for the gps related battery drain other than deactivate/activate de gps after every maps app use?

@LuisLAN
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuisLAN:
Function Adding

@Luca

Could you please add the volume key wake function, i know you don't want to add too many things to this ROM in order to keep it stable and fast, but this feature will help to reduce de stress on the power button (I press it around 150 times a day, sometimes even more) without having to use another lockscreen app that can consume RAM memory needlessly.

I know you probably have been asked this before and it is really up to you, but i had to ask because to me this is the only thing missing from the great FroyoMOD.

Thanks for the awesome work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Check my posts:

E.g.: Just make sure that the maps app isn't running. That means; Don't let it run on startup (use a startup killer or install on SD card per my instructions) and kill it after you used maps (I use the automatic task killer widget for that)

It also saves you about 11MB RAM
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Zinu:
Since I updated to 2.9.3 from 2.8 I keep getting errors when trying to update apps through the market. On every app I have installed to SD it gives me an error 'Installing to SD card failed' or something like that. If I move the app back to phone and try updating it again it works, but that really cumbersome ofcourse.

Is there any way for me to fix this? I already tried the Froyomod Setting for where to install apps (Automatic/Internal/External) but that doesn't seem to do anything.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
delete the .android_secure folder in sdcard
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Zinu:
According to Root Explorer it's not there. I might have deleted it a few days ago while cleaning up my SD card ><

Is that a problem?

There is a chance of browser freezing if i type "Adr" in the address bar

anyone has this problem too?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] santiphapc:
Add multitouch function.

89luca89

Can you add the number of points multitouch into the froyomod setting? I can not use multitouch more than 2 points. I tried to fix the build.prob, but that does not work.

Thanks you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
No problem here. Try removing the application data of the browser. You can do that in settings -> manage applications -> browser
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
Try to add/overwrite this in /system/lib/modules/...it's qtouch_num.ko...then, just edit the build.prop. You can select from 2 to 5!

Hope it helps ;-)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] santiphapc:
I did as you recommended. Overwrite "qtouch_num.ko" in /system/lib/modules/ and change permission to rw-r--r-- then reboot. But it does not work. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 3ndeavour:
How can i open a my SD card on the pc. If i select usb storage mode when connecting my phone is doesn't open up my sd card on the pc, but only unmounts on the phone. What is going wrong?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Reboot your phone. Make sure you have USB debugging on. Then connect your phone to your PC. It will work.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scholbert:
Couldn't use my Milestone for a while because the TFT-display suddenly died.

Strange thing...

Anyway i fixed it and installed FroyoMOD v2.9.3.

Best ROM so far!!!

I don't care about calendar bug...

Nothing bad to report.

Very fast, very clean...

maybe the extra settings should be added as an install package... i don't need it.

I'm also impressed of the Go Launcher... formerly i used/liked ADW Launcher.

Seems Go Launcher is more up to date.

Anyway, Keep up your great work... especially if you are fed up with Samsung development :p

Thanks a million :D

scholbert
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] buddmeister:
I second that, I'm not fussed about the small calendar bug, I've started using the go launcher calendar widget,nice animations too.

I found me calling bug it was an update of go sms. The latest update has resolved it so I can now receive calls without it going to loudspeaker.

I have another bug but I'm not sure if that's down to only using 2g but on this rom I don't seem to have stable calls, people cannot here me very well in certain rooms. Is there another radio I can flash? I'm in the uk...

Keep up the absolutely brilliant work. Don't go over to the sgsII yet I think you have nearly cracked the best ever rom with flawless speed and no bugs..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
About phone calls you can try the stock Motorola phone.apk abd see if it works better!!

You can find it in the download section :-)

About the rom I'm still under development for it :-) ill address the lasts bugs like calendar and better wpa support, also I want to speed it a little up xD maybe its sgs2 fault but I want it faster xD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thehaunted:
Luca thnx 4 keeping my Milestone /the Froyomod alive

In combination with Calender pad and Launcher pro I have

No bugs at all! Grazi mille!

Can the go launcher be optional? Just a wish....

Grtz JR
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wirapuru:
I don't know if it's sgs2 fault too (:D) but I must say the >2.9.x TFM generation has the best roms I ever put in here (I used to be a rom whore until 6 months ago). Ty Samsumg! ops, 89luca89 =P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
It's as optional as it can get. You can just install another launcher from the market and you'll only see (a reference to) Go Launcher when your alternative crashes or is updated.

If you don't even like that, you're always free to delete go launcher from /system/app
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sodan Tok:
Maybe somebody already asks this question, but:

Is it possible to add a function which will make possible to set when display turns off and when will phone lock? FOr example - display goes black and after 1-2 minutes phone will lock (so after the display goes off i can only press power button and it will turn on without password/slide/gesture)

I hope everybody understand, sry for my bad english :D

Hey guys im having issues with 2.9.3, everytime i try and download an app, teh phone restarts....

any ideas?

TIA
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
Can you try to:

Clear caches

Clear .android_secure folder (in SD)

Clear market cache and data

and report if reboots again? :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] NEon400_:
Hey thanks Luca!

android_secure didnt work and market cache didnt work but when i flushed all the caches via OR it worked :D

* EDIT

afterwards i tried installing another app from the market and the reboots came back? it would be extremely annoying if i had to clear the cache for every app i want to install :/

Memory Handling

Hi Luca,

Actually i am not complaining, in fact i'm totally happy with your 2.9.3.

just a feedback only.:p Luca, if you have time please kindly help to check the memory handles of our milestone. i just suspect the memory handling due to i installed go task manager and out of 226MB ram always 35MB is free only for use..

just noticed this when my daughter played Tap Tap Revenge, it is always stopping in the mid of the game. i know our milestone is capable on playing this game as it could start right? if not then it wouldn't start at all and it will have FC's..

is it possible to make the memory terminate the applications that it is not using?

Hopefully the patches were available in 2.9.4.. thanks again..:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
Android runs on with memory occuped, but effectively 30mb are too low

Try Using the builtin TaskManager of GoLauncher, I can use it to play Fpse and music (for example) very well without having home redraw!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] yeng9ph:
hi Luca,

actually i am using that taskman of go launcher, my memory status there is 35/226MB, if i continuously press X then refresh, non-stop, the 35MS is changing from 54MB but few secs comes back to 35MB and lower..what do you think is causing this..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
this is normal behavior

@89luca89

something related to GPS prevent phone from sleeping, after turning off GPS, phone goes to deep sleep

keybord is to big in portrair and landscape mode. In landscape mode text input should have 3 lines but has only one
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sörnäinen:
Something eats your memory. In my case it was GoogleMaps, downgraded it to v4.6, now it's ok. And Google+ - such a bloody memory hog!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] postrero:
Change the baseband for Tmobile and best rom ever

Switched from Ho No and didn't get any network signal. Went to Open Recovery and updated Baseband to Telus which it has plenty of basebands to choose already and that was it. Even the marketplace is faster than Ho No and the camera glitch is gone for me. Only thing is gallery forceclosed so installed a more simple gallery and the phone is perfect. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 89luca89:
About memory problems, avoid new maps, google+, facebook or thoose eating memory things!

About keyboard, you can simply take one from cm6/7 (LatinIME.apk) and put in the zip before flashing!

About GPS its related to new maps verions I think!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Basian Mile:
I think for those who dont really need Maps and things like that, its ok to delete Maps.apk.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
I have written bellow how to configure Google+ to save memory. It's tricky to do.

Deep Sleep / GPS issue

I'm having the same problem. I've downgraded the maps app but if any app start a GPS query then the phone won't go into deep sleep mode anymore until reboot or until i turn gps off for a few seconds and then turn it on again.

About the games shuttering see if you have enough memory for them... maybe some apps draining memory and CPU??

free ram is 40MB (and i have this value since i am using 2.2 :D) but i forgot about CPU draining, must look at it, thx
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milest0ne2:
Same here.

Are people here seriously talking about having 100MB free *RAM* (not *internal storage*)??

I tried uninstalling as many apps as possible yesterday, especially Google+, downgraded GoogleMaps, killed as many processes as possible (including the HTC keyboard), I removed almost all widgets from my homescreens, set LauncherPro to only have 2 homescreens and the highest value for free RAM I ever got (using Android System Info) was about 50MB which went down to the usual 35MB-40MB (which I had before all those "optimizations") in a matter of minutes.

And still GoogleMaps sometimes just ends as well as it's impossible to play "Cut the rope" ...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Basian Mile:
I dont believe that they have 100mb free Ram too. Specially i never seen a Picture of Proof!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] [d]amour:
i am having constantly around 50-70mb free ram here, i should take a screenshot and post it up soon for you guys...sometimes when i use go Laucher default task manager and close all program, i got a 100mb ram =)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sodan Tok:
I had almost 100 MB RAM (with almost same widgets, launcher, apps) on 2.1, then i used CM6 and then Froyomod (both with 30-50 MB RAM). If somebody has 100MB normally (not after termination of tasks) he deleted all apps except sms and phone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] qaz2453:
about the 100mb free ram thing....sorry if I wasn't clear enough lol...only got over 100mb free once ... this is the highest I have got there after...I have got a decent amount of apps to :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] noc123:
I've got the same problem with only 40MB free ram without killing any apps. I read some posts here and now i have 74 MB. I've turn off GPS, downgraded Maps. Also I removed GoContacts (good bye T9), Contacts widget and GoWeather. Now I'm using stock dialer and for News and Weather. I have got a decent amount of apps as well :)

I don't have Google+ app, but I have Facebook. Removing Facebook probably will increase my free ram but thats enough for me. Phone works very fast.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] [d]amour:
can i know how to downgrade the google maps??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sörnäinen:
just uninstall. Since the v4.6 is in the system apps on this Rom, the app doesn't vanish, just goes back to that older version. But careful to uncheck "allow automatic updating"
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sodan Tok:
Yeah, the maps service: Rate Places or Location Service is annoying, shame that old version of maps doesnt have a cache area function.

Can anyone write a list of apps that can be removed from fresh installed FroyoMod?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] [d]amour:
thanks for the reply, just one more question i want to ask, more system apps we delete does it means that it will increase our free ram as well? or it just free up some internal memory?
