[General Questions and Answers] Diamond_dawg:
Well the official is released long back for ther Droid(milestone) did you change it from verizon to Alltel?
[General Questions and Answers] Diamond_dawg:
And the link you have for is Milestone which is the GSm version, the CDMA version is know as Droid
[General Questions and Answers] Conner85:
Since I'm on Alltel, the name for it is Milestone. It's the same thing as the Droid (since it's CDMA USA version), just with a different name because Droid is exclusive to Verizon. The only reason I haven't gotten the update, to my knowledge anyway, is because Motorola isn't distributing the update to Alltel and a few other carriers.

But everyone I have talked to has said "Hmm.. you have the Verizon Droid.. that's the model number for it". But I didn't get it from Verizon, I got it at the Alltel store. I even had to argue with Motorola on the phone yesterday because they told me I didn't know what I was talking about, and that I must have gotten it from the Verizon store because Alltel doesn't carry that phone. I'm guessing they are releasing it out to other carriers and forgetting about it?

Now, I'm pretty confused as to what steps I need to take to achieve this. Everyone keeps telling me "No, you have this.. you have that......" and I'm actually just really confused.. no other way to explain it. Do I try to find something that will work with a CDMA Milestone, or will anything for the Droid be compatible? Or are they both just the same phone, but different name?

I have already rooted it with Universal Androot and installed Rom Manager (Premium). Now I guess all I need to know is what to do from there. I have allowed superuser permission to Rom Manager, I pressed Flash Alternate Recovery and then pressed Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Then I pressed Backup Current Rom. Where to from there?

I see a list of roms, so do I just find one and install it? I see a lot of tutorials on how to do everything, but most of them talk about how the MMS isn't working and you have to go into the stock rom to get the MMS settings and then move it to the new rom.. kinda confusing, but I think if I have gotten this far I'll be able to understand it better if someone could just explain the rest of it regarding this particular phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Conner85:
I figured it all out. Now I have a full on Droid.
[General Questions and Answers] BoazNahum:
I don't get that part, lol.

Did you try going into system information and check the Baseband version?

If it's "3GSM.....09.04I" then I'm pretty sure that's a Milestone.
[General Questions and Answers] Diamond_dawg:
I'm pretty sure there is no Milestone that is CDMA, i can bet a $100 on that, you have the alltell CDMA droid

EDIT: ok i'm wrong, the phone is known as Milestone due to the fact that Verizon has exclusive rights to the name, but your phone is still CDMA and have to follow the Droid section, flashing a radio or anything with the GSM version will brick it
[General Questions and Answers] Conner85:
I didn't go with the GSM version since I have the CDMA. I downloaded Rom Manager and went with the Droid version. Had to mess with the APN but finally got everything working. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to get my old market back cause I'm now on the Verizon market.

You obtained approval from the creators to upload these without permission I assume? Or are they all under a 'open' license?

You posted this orginally in DEVELOPMENT !?!?! You may want to stop doing this posting others work with no credit crap. This is the third thread you posted of others work with no credit and lame excuses. Read the forum rules, you are clearly violating them. People really do get banned for this stuff. If you are tryin to send something to "a guy" you shouldn't say "for those of you who can use them" that implies a broader intent, and if it really was a favor to "a guy" then figure out how to use the PM feature. Please stop clogging the boards with stuff you didn't make, stuff that any member can get EASILY, stuff that an actual dev worked hard on. If you ever actually develop something feel free to post it, but leave other peoples stuff in their own threads. And please learn how to post in the CORRECT section.

I've never used MochaVNC, but I would absolutely suggest TeamViewer for ease of use. Literally, anyone could use it.

I don't see SetCPU or CPU Tuner on there, but those are also great.

WhitePages also has a nice caller id feature for numbers not in your phone book. It will deliver in real-time if your phone does data/voice at the same time (sorry verizon).

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dhilberg:
Nice list, thanks for taking the time to put it together. Quite a few new ones for me in here. :)

I've used Astro, but I prefer ES File Explorer for browsing over the network. I could never get Astro to work over the network. ES can scan for Windows/SMB shares and add them. It's been a while, but at the time Astro couldn't scan, you had to add manually by IP, etc., and I could never get it to work. ES made it easy, so I switched. But for normal file management I use Root Explorer. It's simple, fast, and just works.

For network snooping check out Network Discovery.

For a notes app check out ColorNote.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quickfixguru:
I just got my fiancee a brand new Captivate with AT&T here in Florida, is there ANY reason if i put this on her phone it will cause problems since she has ATT and not Rogers???

If there is a reason it wont work then what would the smoothest, fastest and newest or BEST rom to use on an AT&T Samsung Captivate be?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whiteguypl:
Short answer: yes it will work

Longerish answer: The fact that you don't understand that it will or why it will leads me to the conclusion that you have not read enough. This alone should be enough to make you step back, read more, and then go ahead with flashing. All of the information you need to know is in the forums. Its not all in big bold letters and its not all on the front page.

Edit: and truth be told in the past month a lot of information that should be known is getting hurried in the depths of old threads, things that should have been stickied aren't and things that are stickied are being updated as much as they could/should be. Couple good key words: odin, batch number, 3 button combo, download mode, 2e recovery 3e recovery. Lagfix, modem. There are more but most of those will lead you to the rest provided your reading the threads.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jafargio:
Hi I have just bought Motorola Milestone which seems like Vodafone unlocked version. I am new at Android will ask few general questions.

1. How to identify if the phone is rooted or not?

2. Can I flash my phone (Build SHOLS_U2_02.36.0) to Android 2.2 I am currently running 2.1 Update1

3. What should I do before flashing rom?

4. What are Must-Have software applications to "play" (Flash, Overclock, Reconfigure) with on the phone

THANKs
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Babis_ECE:
Hi and enjoy your new Milestone..!

1) Check if you have an app "Superuser" installed, with a pirate's icon. If yes, you are Rooted. Or install an app that needs Root and see if it works well.

2) There's no official FroYo ROM yet, we are waiting for it any day now. But you can flash other FroYo ROMs from Milestone Android Development Forum.

3) You should Read carefully.. :cool:;)

4) OpenRecovery, RSD Lite, Motorola USB Drivers

Enjoy modding..!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Caz666:
3. Read up in the forums for the details. In general, you need to

A. Flash vulnerable recovery using RSD (requires MOT usb drivers)

B. Install a new recovery (androidiani is most likely best one for milestone)

C. Install the custom ROM of your choice (most newer roms are froyo based, give you root and already overclocked. My fav is CM6.

4.

In to what I listed above, a few must have (or at least nice to have) apps:

A. Setcpu (overclocking gui and profiles)

B. rootexplorer (file manager with options for root users)

C. Google apps (aka GAPPS). Many roms do need come with the google experience stuff like market and gmail). You need to downlaod seperately.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] peter9991:
Don't want to open another thread, but someone might be able to help me.

Yesterday i got my phone back from repairs (headphone socket) and decided to try the new Sense Rom. Liked it, but performance wasn't to my tastes. i installed the backup from my normal 2.2 ROM.

My question is, for example if i install the iceandfire rom (which i see is being updated all the time), will i have to do a complete reinstall of the ROM every time?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Caz666:
I am a bit confused...dod you have a milestone. If so, did you mean your 'normal' 2.1 ROM?

The MS does not have 2.2 yet...

In any case, you usually do not need to do a full wipe for incremental versions. I have never tried iceandfire, but CM6 and others work like this. Only major revisions require wipes. Clearing the dalvik cache and cache partition (easy to do from openrecovery) is usually all that is required. This does not impact any of your data...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] peter9991:
sorry, i meant the GOT version.

It seems to be the most vanillaish version out at the moment.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Caz666:
Ah...well if by vanillaish, you mean stock...there are currently at least 2 leaked versions more recent than GOT. GOT is actually rather old and buggy.

But your point is taken, it is a Motorolaish release. I prefer AOSP (android open source project) based ROMs. Motorola proprietary files are still used (drivers and kernel), but the rest is all open source/ customized.

IMHO, this provides features and stuff people actually want.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jafargio:
Hi again. I was reading some other posts but I am still confused.

I have no understanding why all these stuff is used for updating ROM on the device.

What is Open Recovery? why is it used and what does Root-ing do?

I also noticed several times in posts saying Nandroid, Downgrading Recovery Partition, sbf recovery....

Can anyone describe what exactly all these things mean and why are they used for?

Thanks. :cool:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theratdude64:
I have been reading into it, and my only hesitation with going to CM7 while it's in Nightlies stage is that I am hoping there will be a recovery that does the EXT4, as well as the current stuff so that if I don't like the CM7 for stability issues or whatever, I can flash back to 6.1.1, revert my nand.

I have read that I can rename the new recovery the old file name, and trick it to installing that, once in CM7 can I just reflash the older version of recovery so that I can go back to 6.1.1 if necessary?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
If you don't like CM7, download the v2 recovery from ROM manager, flash it, boot into recovery and restore your old backup.

As soon as the nightlies came out I flashed them just to play around, flashing back wasn't an issue at all.
