[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sileshnair:
MOTO TEST LEAK FOR APAC REGION - 2.2.1

( NANDROID BACKUP

)

​

On 26-11-2011, member ed213 informed us about a Moto test release received by a operator ( which one is not known ), presumably in Hongkong. It was not a sbf ,but they received their milestones updated to the latest release. He has provided us with a nandroid backup of his phone. The following is the kernal details from my phone after i flashed the nandroid.

Build date is Wed Jan 19 00:39:50 CST 2011.

All credits go to ed213 for the release information / nandroid backup.

Procedure

Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file ( the nandroid folder ) to the nandroid/openrecovery folder of your sdcard and choose " restore all" in the nandroid menu of OR. Once the contents are extracted, the directory structure should look like this. If the nandroid/openrecovery folder does not exist in the sdcard, you will have to manually create them. Once copied the directory structure should look like this.

nandroid/openrecovery/nandroid/img files+md5 files

​

Then follow this post for detailed instructions.

Procedure to get apps2ext working

1. Install the nandroid of your choice ( not the one which has apps2ext already applied )

2. Reboot to recovery. Run AOR. In console type the following.

mkdir /system/sd ( note, there is a space between the command and the path )
cd /system
ls

It should show the sd folder. Check if it is present. Type exit to get back to AOR.

3. Apply the attached apps2ext zip file

4. Reboot

5. Install busybox from market

6. Reboot to recovery. Wipe all. Reboot

7. Install your apps and check if apps2ext is working.

People who are comfortable using adb can follow this guide to get apps2ext working. This is also for people who are having problems with their sdcard after creating ext partition.

First Impressions

Overclocked to 900Mhz, Feels a little more smooth than the Vivo Release, battery life is very very good ( check here )The app lag that one felt in the Vivo release is still there, but a little less. Will keep all of you posted of any developments.
