Tried more than 5 times and it still doesn't work :(

Tried all the different ways in the [How to] root ms2 post, like switching to airplane mode and reboot and root again, still doesn't work

go to "acquiring root shell" and it just exit to homescreen. re-launching it just get a force close...

mine is asia retail version

MILS_U6_2.4.18

missing the days overclocking and flashing rom on my milestone:(

**update : successfully rooted with superoneclick!~ :)
[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Why don't you post screenies from your MS2, WongJames?
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
opps..I have forgotten to do that, sorry :p

I will make it tonight :D
[Milestone 2 General] elfodd:
here is mine atm:
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
Mine is here :p

using ADW EX with 2 themes, sticker album and matte curve

screen 1 (default)

using SiMi clock and xWeatherHK, a weather widget for Hong Kong locally:)

Bottom are 4 folders, tools, games, advanced settings, photography~

dock: dialer, contacts, appdrawer, handcent sms, task manager

screen 2

switchpro widget, stock calendar widget, and some icons, it is not hard to guest what they are:D

the orange conversation bubble is a Hong Kong forum app

screen 3

very simple, just poweramp and audiomanager :)

Also using 3D drawer

a bit laggy, but it's cool:D
[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Oh nice customization elfodd and WongJames, thanks for sharing =) I especially like the layout of the shortcuts, WongJames. Without the actual names of the programs. Did you know that you can have the 3D App Drawer without dock bar. I like it a lot more without, hehe.

Peopel with experience regarding overclocking - is there an actual benefit from it?
[Milestone 2 General] DeadSix17:
LauncherPro Plus, my apps: http://www.appbrain.com/user/DeadSix17/apps-on-the-phone

3D Drawer of it doesnt lag at all...
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
yup, just make it back to full screen, much better :D

i think overclocking MS2 won't be as significant as overclocking MS1. MS2 with 1ghz processor is already fast, i OC it to 1.2ghz, just want it to be more responsive ;)

LauncherPro is the smoothest launcher i've ever seen, but i already bought ADW EX when it first release...LP don't have any transitional effects at that time. Another feature of ADW EX i like is i can change icons without using desktop visualizer :p Hope coming updates of ADW EX would make it smoother, especially the 3D drawer:D
[Milestone 2 General] DeadSix17:
Did you guys also notice the heavy lag when you use a LiveWallpaper.. like for example the "Galaxy" live wallpaper or any other.. and the app drawer is just heavily lagging?

Hi to all MS2 owners.

Got my MS2 few days ago and not yet making any changes to phone.

For screenshot will be next round when I visiting here. :)
[Milestone 2 General] albireox:
Hi guys,

Got my Milestone2 about two weeks ago, mostly because I needed an Android smartphone with a the qwerty keyboard. All in all, I'm pretty happy with it, I flashed Argen2Stone, now it's a little snappier than before, but even at 1,2Ghz seems a little sluggish on some occasions. The only thing that really bothers me is the battery life. I've had a fair number of Android phones so far, but Milestone2 seems to have the worst standby times of all of them. If I leave it at night after I charged it fully (data transfer of any kind is disabled, just GSM 2G works), in the morning I have 80% left. I'd have to say that with not so much intense use, this phone need recharging every evening.

I want to know what your experience is, regarding battery life.
[Milestone 2 General] deutschmark:
my battery life is exactly the same as yours, 20% per night w/o any data sync or whatever, cant figure out why

however if i dont play angry birds or watch movies my phone can last two days at one charge (~1hr wifi/browsing/emails per day, ~	10min calls, a few sms messages)
[Milestone 2 General] albireox:
The same here, maybe even less WIFI browsing and in the evening I remain with about 50% battery and in the next morning there's no more than 30%-40% so, to be safe, I charge it every day. This is very light use in my opinion so I figure that with some hard use (connected to the data network all the time, checking emails and some browsing) it won't last until evening. I even tried to lower the processor's voltage a little, and at 58, 1Ghz, seems stable enough, but I don't see any tangible gain in the standby times. Maybe if we can get rid of Motoblur at some point, we can experience better battery life, but until then, we have to be close to a power socket :(.
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
By disabling 3G when not in use, you can save a lot of battery. Mine can handle about 2 days before charging, but 2G should be used when not using a lot of data.

With 3G enabled it's about 20 hours per charge.

I however have enabled all data sync and I'm using the stock ROM.

I also have data completely disabled at night, which is really helpful.
[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
What wonderspoons says...

Otherwise I made great experience with 'Juice Defender' Gets me over two days w/o charging but ofc internet connection is disabled while the phone's in standby mode.
[Milestone 2 General] deutschmark:
yes, i'm in 2g only mode since 3g coverage here is really weak

to be frank i found no use of juice defender. you can set up wifi to turn off in standby/sleep mode using android wifi settings, why use juice defender then or am i missing something here?
[Milestone 2 General] albireox:
I don't use 3G at all. And I block data connections with SModa widget so I use data only when needed and for very short periods of time. I have data sync once or twice a day, via wireless, otherwise, it's just the phone, on 2G. I don't believe in those programs that are saying the can prolong the standby times, all they do is to block auto updates or wireless data and perhaps they also modify the screen luminosity, but otherwise, nothing more than you can't do yourself from Android settings.
[Milestone 2 General] :
Just to get back on topic, here's my Milestone 2 homescreen:

The top clock and weather is Fancy Widget, below on the left is Circle Battery Widget, on the right it's Juice Plotter widget and all else (3 widgets) are the awesome Witgetsoid widgets. I like to have all the controls (in the form of toggle widgets) on my homescreen and on two other screens I only keep games and application shortcuts (40 in total):

(that's Launcher Pro's cube transition effect looking way cool).

I also use the Solar Winds live wallpaper, it's fantastic.

Hi folks.

I was long a time reader in Droid 2 forums before I checked, Droid 2 is not Milestone 2 :)

So I'm here now and this is my phone.

I don't need more information on my lockscreen, so it's default.

I use

SiMi Clock

Sony Arc Launcher (Try it! I love it more than ADW.)

Honeycomb Live Wallpaper
[Milestone 2 General] Nagrom1905:
Here is mine Milestone :D It's not finall I'm going to buy WidgetLocker Lockscreen so I will be playing with the lockscreen
[Milestone 2 General] philps:
Hey, y'all! My M2 is affectionally called Philpstone. I bought it ~2 weeks ago, to fill in the shoes of the previous Philpstone (an original Milestone).

Since I have no screenshot app installed, I'll have to put some grabs later... but really, nothing special there. Just LauncherPro to reduce my exposure to Motoblur, and a stock wallpaper.

BTW, I'm here to increase my post count.

Peace!

Here's mine: I absolutely love what I have going on in with my phone. Was a lot of work but it is now, the coolest Milestone 2 EVER! haha
[Milestone 2 General] SedaG:
Sorry didn't know you could put more than the four it lets you at first. Oops! If I knew before I'd make it only one post!

Here's some more.

Had a pretty sweet one of my how my texting looks but I didn't want to post my friend's phone #.. haha It's a shame

EDIT: Got a spam text so I'll show you that haha, I put in in the above post bc I filled up this one with pics already ha.
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
Give it to me :( :P

*Sooo jealous :P*
[Milestone 2 General] Blo234:
Hey SedaG. How fluid is SPB shell on your phone? I tried it right after the release and it really killed my phone.
[Milestone 2 General] SedaG:
It's great! Very fluid no lag or anything. Before I managed to get 2.3.4 I had 2.2 only under Argen2stone and it was still pretty smooth. Before I flashed the Brazilian .sbf, it was not very fluid and I had a lot of problems with it. I used GO Launcher until the latest release which has greatly improved. Landscape support, and actual options for the launcher, and more launcher widgets.

Long story short, if you've had your MM2 for a really long time like me, it would probably do it lots of good idea to ,get ClockWorkRecovery, wipe all your chaches, flash an MM2 .sbf of your choice on your phone, and then do a hard factory reset. You're phone will be like it's brand spankin new again.

Have you tried the Argen2stone ROM for MM2?

EDIT: With SPB Launcher, throughout the entire time I have had it (regardless of firmware and stuff), using a Live Wallpaper on SBP Laucher seems to be too much for the phone to handle and will loose it's fluidity. Even if you overclock.
[Milestone 2 General] Blo234:
@SedaG

I haven't tried any rooting or nodding with this device yet, since i wanted to keep the guarantee. (Which I, unfortunately, needed lately). But your reply encouraged me to give SPB another shot, so reinstalled it.

And your right! Its really very cool. I guess i just have to go low on widgets ;-)

Thanks
[Milestone 2 General] SedaG:
I don't understand why the developers of a Launcher are now expected to have widgets with their Launcher or be rated poorly. All those widgets people want...are already out there, their just not included in the .apk LauncherPro or SPB Shell is in or whatever you're using. For convenience maybe?

Anyways glad I could help you get back into it, they've been constantly improving it over time and they're already added a few more widgets, it's probably a little harder to make 3D widgets.. don't blame them for coming out a little slower haha.

"*---- This effin launcher is the best home launcher ever!! Great work! Has no widgets tho. Needs widgets. One star." :mad: :mad: :mad:

Man, many thanks for sharing the configs!!

Before I install ms2gingerbeta5 I was using Go Launcher. With time the phone was becoming slow, mainly on home screen. Then I decided to put ms2gingerbeta5. In begining everything was fine, but now, when I press back button in config menu, or in running apps menu, the phone freezes for a while and sometimes it reboots. But this is for other topic I think.

Backing to topic,

How fluid is your launcher?
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
Go launcher works beautiful on my m2 with ginger beta5. It's really smooth. I haven't any problems with lags on it. Maybe you should try doing wipe data. Did you do that after installing the ROM?

MotoMilestone 2 & TapTalk
[Milestone 2 General] levicm:
Hi,

I did the wipe data/factory reset without success. Then I did a Dalvik cache clean, without success.

So I decided to do all the installation process again, step by step, testing each step at least a day.

Yesterday I flashed the BR retail ROM. After flashing, the boot entered in loop, showing the white M symbol, then the blur animation, and the M symbol, and so on.

I decided to do a data wipe and, after that, the new boot succeeded.

Today I am testing the retail ROM without problem.

Tonight I will put MS2GingerBeta5 and test it for one day.

Then I will install groups of applications, and to test again.

In a few days I will identify who caused this problem... Or not. :)

Thanks for your help.
[Milestone 2 General] rasecrmz:

[Galaxy Tab General] kiltedthrower:
I've read it's possible to make phone calls now if you have the galaxy tablet on at&t. This almost makes it tempting to buy this and and use it as a phone instead of my captivate.

I have tethering on my phone, can I hook my Captivate to it via usb and get online that way instead of paying for a data package for the tablet?
[Galaxy Tab General] Rogue9:
You can do this on AT&T and T-Mo Tabs after you flash a European ROM to it. Just slap the SIM from your Captivate into the Tab and you're all set.
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
If you can tether via your phone then all you need to is turn on the wifi of the tab, no need to connect it via USB. Not sure if you can do that anyway.
[Galaxy Tab General] Krrnamja:
Yes you can load up a euro rom and then follow rotos guide for sim unlocking. Youre all set after that.

You don't simply just turn it on/off through the settings menu, which is why I'm confused. I don't even know how I turned it on. :confused:

Go to settings>Language & Keyboard>Input Method and choose which keyboard you want...

Just long-press any input field and you should get a pop-up asking what input method you want to use.
