Hi Edgard, hope everything is ok man and you will keep updating this..!

Your ROM is one of the best Gingerbread ones out there. Simple as that.

We'll be waiting for an update, when (and if..) it is possible.

If it isn't, no worries!!

Have a nice day!

:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ilya11g:
and +1 from me :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
Hi Babis and ilya,

Edgar recently told that he will not abandon ShadowMOD and he intends to update it at least until the end of this year.

Unfortunately, he is not having enough time to work properly on a release and fortunately he thinks that it is not a good idea to release a half baked rom.

He also invited any developers that feel like they can contribute to join ShadowMOD GitHUB and update code as they see fit, as today he is the only one working on it and doesn't have enough free time to work properly on it.

That is the most recent status, and hopefully Edgard will find some free time to properly bake the next ShadowMOD, or, some developers will join him and then we can have the next release earlier, who knows...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abazel:
Excellent news! I can't wait for his next release. If it is done properly, it could be the best ROM on Milestone ... it has great potential. I'm currently using B3 and it flies even at stock CPU speed. I've deleted the Gallery.apk and Camera.apk and replaced with Quickpic and Retrocamera and there are no bugs related. So, edgar, keep up the good work! \m/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
Looks like edgar dont have time for this rom now, no time even to put oneliner for his rom. Do you people know when did he appear in this thread last time? I wondor why everyone else talk on his behalf? IMO, this rom is completely abandoned, no matter whatever people say or flame me, truth is bitter.

Do you people still think that by end of the year, everyone will still have milestone in hand? Featurewise and cpu speedwise Milestone is too old. For everyone these are last few months of milestone. mobiles are like girls, everyone like to change...:D or change for a change.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Yeah, I think I'm going for O2X this summer. Totally agree with you. But FroyoMOD is really great ROM, made my Milestone so fast, I can play almost every new GL game. Who cares about Gingerbread and its lame new features ? :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
First,

I do not talk on Edgar behalf.

Second,

I just do a favour for people that don't speak portuguese and can't read the two Google Groups where Edgar posts, SMBR: Geral and Android Brasil, and keep them up to date with whatever he posts and is related to SMBR, as many people have asked before.

Third,

While this (Milestone by the end of year will be useless/sold/whatever) might be true for you, it is not for a lot of people. So, it is up to people that have the phone and HAVE INTEREST IN SHADOW MOD BR to read this Thread searching for news. If you don't have interest in it, why care about it or about people that ask for more information or about someone that simply is helping out those fellows that asked about it?

Well, just my 2 cents. :p
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LaDrOIdBoy:
ive recently just got mine and i have to have it for another couple of years at least :P so i hope that this rom is updated eventually!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ilya11g:
Hmm.... Milestone is too old? Agree

But until coming of new hi-res displays I can't see any reason to change it to any new phone.

Waiting a Defy 2.... :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Why don't you cook your own freaking ROM?

You're like a whiny baby in every thread that you post in... god...

On behalf of the users and developers...

I'm am sad to agree that Edgard Castro abandoned this project, but I honestly can't think of it as a bad act, since he's probably doing something else that pays his bills. People around these forums ALWAYS complain about the development of ROMs for their handsets that should be done by the manufacturers that charge a lot of money every time we buy a new cell phone. And then, someone shows up dedicating time, patience and sometimes, even money (yeah, some people use their paid sharing server accounts to make ROMs available to us).

If you want development of ROMs for ever, get together, create a company, hire programmers, get the rights to implement your solutions on the great handsets you buy, make a living from it! I'm sure that everybody would do this kind of work for a good amount of money, but rest assured of that:

NO ONE IS GOING TO DEVELOP ANYTHING IN EXCHANGE FOR COMPLAINTS!

I think that even the EXPERIMENTAL Android 2.3b7 ShadowMOD-BR is a great piece of work for such a hardware-limited handset. It has bugs, but even the Stock ROM from Motorola has some ABSURD problems (and they get a really good payment for that lame software).

Again, stop complaining, EVERYONE HERE WOULD DO THE SAME THING: prioritize money!

Promo-Trailer Video

Hi guys, and Edgar - you too.

I loved this mod, and decided to create something to express my approciation. I've made some PROMO/TRAILER for the mod, and it's now AVAILABLE to watch on youtube. I can't post the URL, but you will find it 'googling' "Zabiegala Kamil on Youtube", and you'll see the video called:

>>Your Milestone with Android 2.3 Gingerbread<<

Hope, you'd love it.

Greetings,

Kamil Zabiegala

Hi all! So long stock camera won't catch video, can you suggest any 3rd party videocamera app?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abazel:
Try to change the stock Camera.apk with MIUI camera (using Root Explorer). It worked for me. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ilya11g:

Any update on B8

Can someone who understand portuguese please provide us an update from Edgar's forum regarding B8? Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] PC400:
Very good man !

I send one mp for you
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kezs:
not much there. he said it's gonna be out "soon". also that he won't release a new version just to calm people down. that it's gonna be out when the issues on the current version have been addressed, not before that.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bayngen:
subtitute for ShadowMOD b7

I am still using b7 on my milestone and since devalopment of ShadowMod is pretty much stopped, would someone please suggest a comprable or a better ROM for me to try it out inplace of b7? Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
If you don't need GB, try FroyoMOD :).

So is this rom dead?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jiddahidda:
Sure seems dead. Only other Gingerbread ROM as lite and stock as this one that I know of is called Cronos Ginger. However at time of writing this, their site seems down. You'll need to register to be able to see and download the latest Milestone release, Cronos Ginger X 1.5.0.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
Kind of dead, but not dead... Edgard moved again, last news, he bought a Samsung Galaxy SII.

He said that he still plans to update ShadowmodBR for Milestone, and that now that his Milestone is not his primary phone, this should make things easier. And he gave some hope on a future ShadowmodBR for The Galaxy SII.

As usual, no deadlines or commitment to a date.

So, knowing Edgard a little bit, I'm sure he wouldn't say that he still plan to update ShadowmodBR if he wasn't planing to do it. But, as he didn't say when to expect it, my guess is that it will take some time before we see a new release from him.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rawfa:
Urgent help! E:signature verification failed!

Guys, since my wife update to official froyo somehow her phone is on the verge of unusable because it's so slow. So I've offered to try this ROM but this is my first time flashing motorola (I've flashed a bunch of samsungs though).

I did exactly what the instructions say but I keep getting this

-- Install from sccard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Veryfying update package...

E: EOCD maker occurs after start of EOCD

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

________________________________________________________

Here is how I flashed it:

1 - Extract Open Recovery 1.46 zip file.

2 - Copy “OpenRecovery” Folder and “Update.Zip” to SD card.

3 - Copy the Gingerbread ROM to SD card\OpenRecovery\updates

4 - Copy the Overclock pack to SD card\OpenRecovery\updates

If you’re upgrading from Éclair, you need to flash a 2.2SBF as

described in this post. Froyo users can just go to the next step.

5 - Boot the phone into OpenRecovery 1.46:

. Reboot into recovery (hold 'X' button on bootloader 90.78, on others

hold camera button; until you see triangle; then press camera + volume up)

. Apply the update.zip

. You are now in Open Recovery

6 - Perform factory data reset, wipe Dalvik cache and cache partition

7 - Apply the ‘update-smbr-2.3.2b2-signed.zip’ followed by the ‘smbr-

2.3.2b2-overclock-pack.zip’

8 - Perform factory data reset, wipe Dalvik cache and cache partition

again.

9 - Reboot your device, and you’re done!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rawfa:
I've manager to install the rom but I get an error when I try to install the overclock file.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
So you installed the 2.2 vulnerable recovery? Which overclock pack are you trying to flash? What error does it give?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rawfa:
Yes, I've installed the vulnerable recovery. I'm trying to overclocok the file on the first post of the thread. But never mind. My wife is super happy that the phone is way faster :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
This ROM is no longer supported anymore, there are other Gingerbread ROMs that are much faster and have many more features.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rawfa:
Well, so far the wife is thrilled with it...supported or not.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kant1988:
I think it's fastest Gingerbread ROM

what other Gingerbread ROMs faster ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rawfa:
Even without installing the overclock zip my wife is blown away with how fast this rom is. She is not a power user and she is very happy with it....so many thanks Edgar! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
Looks like you people have not yet experienced FROYOMOD 2.9.3

[ROM-AOSP][28-08-2011] The FroyoMOD v2.9.3- Beyond Froyo2!! xD

FROYOMOD IS FASTEST AND STABLE. LONG BATTERY ROM, UPDATED ALMOST EVERY WEEK OR TWO BY 89LUCA89. MY FAV.

CyanogenMod 7.1.0.2 (Android Gingerbread 2.3.7)

BY KABALDAN THE GREAT ROM GENIUSES.

Hope this helps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
i wondor, why there is no post by anyone since 24 october , my last visit to this thread?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Because hardly anyone uses this ROM anymore?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] seed00:
can i share this post to others forum? i will add the credit!

for me, i will try it tomorrow because the time at my place is about 2:30am....i must sleep right now....i'm so tired...haha
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Beackman:
Edgar, when you release dthe overclock modules, please make some undervolted, cuz the vsel are high, mak some like this

900 -> 56

700 -> 42

500 -> 33

250 -> 22

i use this clocks and vsels before.

thx man cheers.

Gmail really works for you? As in, with no bug everyone has?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Christoffer84:
imo he did not try to read a mail ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Topuz:
Good point, but I guess he was just playing safe.

BTW, do you have an advice how low can I set the vsel for 125MHz, I use that as the lowest step? 16, 18, 20?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bloodhawk:
In order to change the Overclock Values just edit the "72_governor" file located in /system/etc/init.d
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Beackman:
the minimun i get to 125 are 18, lower than that the phone reboots, for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Beackman:
Thx man... :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Topuz:
Thanks, 18 works fine for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bloodhawk:
wow.! you have hit 125 Mhz minimum?

And is the governor throttling down to that much?

Also still with 4 Steps? Or 5 Steps?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jackeh070:
Anyone knows of any 3G toggle widget working with 2.3 out there?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Svid:
Android 2.3 for milestone?Downloading for testing
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hanschke:
any timetable when the upload is ready?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edgardcastro:
About an hour or so, finishing the release compilation and then, just upload. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Beackman:
Just great man..... :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Topuz:
Yep, I use 125Mhz as the minimum step all the time, why are you so wowed? :)

Smartass uses only 4 steps, so I use 1Ghz@58 vsel, 550Mhz@36 vsel, 250Mhz@22 vsel and 125Mhz@18 vsel, all works perfectly for now. Smartass is switching between them fine, I've checked several times using SetCPU.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hanschke:
thats ok. so i will wait and dont go to bed ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bloodhawk:
Hmmm.... earlier with Android 2.2 builds I don't think 125 Mhz was being used even though it was possible to add it. The kernel just didn't throttle down. I really don't know how to verify if 1wt Mhz is being used or now, since I couldn't find any refrences to the cpufreq stats module.

It smoothest GB rom
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
Kind of disapointing, as Ed promissed a ShadowMOD BR update this year, but, it seems that he is not commited to it anymore... He is absent even on android-brasil and shadowmod-br google groups where he at least had some participation and talked about other subjects...

Now, someone could easily pick-up ShadowMOD BR 9 series (Froyo) and evolve/update it, as github and everything else is up to date and it is easy to get the code and build it. Unfortunately, regarding Gingerbread series, it is impossible to do that, as Edgar never had the chance to update github properly and it is not possible to build it with the files available in github.

Sad, but, until further notice, Edgard is too busy to do anything Android related (as far as I know he did not even try to build something for the Galaxy SII he bought, he was trying ROMs from xda Galaxy SII android development section), and as ICS gets release and people will start to try to port it, I really don't see a new version of ShadowMOD BR being released.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alson041:
It's really a shame this rom isn't supported anymore. I am very pleasantly surprised by it's speed and amount of free ram. It would only need a bit of polishing (for example the gallery app keeps crashing) and maybe kabaldan's hardware acceleration, i don't really know. But I'm sure it could become the best gingerbread rom for our phones.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
@ANYONE CURRENTLY USING OR LIKES THIS ROM

If you want to find use an updated AOSP ROM GB PLEASE PM ME, IT IS NOT ON XDA. and it is truely brilliant. Loads of RAM and great battery life
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
Generally forums on internet are by people and for people. Why you want to keep things to yourself? Why not share it here? Why you want to keep things to yourself?

Anyways FROYOMOD 2.9.3 rom gives longest battery with fastest rom and its nearly bugless. Using since long time.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
Because most people are scared of talking about Cronos here.

There is no need for such thing. You just can't link to it, or give a link to files, but you can freely talk about it, it just can't be distributed here as Feeyo and Xda-Developers admin did not reach an agreement in a past GPL violation from Feeyo, which resulted in his work being elected as not following Xda-Developers rules (and it doesn't) as he did not gave the source code for one of his kernels in the past. Rules are rules, he did not follow those, so, Cronos can't be linked here, but, nothing prevents anyone talking about it or talking that a visit to Google will take you right to where Cronos is available.

Altough, I personnaly did not like Cronos, IMHO Milaq's CM6 or Luca's FroyoMod is the absolute best we can get feature/performance wise and EclairMod is the absolute best performance wise.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
Cronos is the best GB in terms of performance and battery life too
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] buddmeister:
I have been through motofrenzy,miui 1.8.0.12, froyomod 2.6.1-2.9.3, shadowmod,cyogogen7something,hoNo!, iceandfire 3.2 and now I'm trying cronosx1.7 and I must admit for gingerbread I have about 79mb RAM running at 800 using team launcher,autostarts and removing some standard apps, mms, talk etc... Multitasking is brilliant,bootup is fast as...(fastest booter so far)I can run motonav then minimize, load xda app search on ninesky browser and go back and forth. I am however awaiting froyomod 3.0 as I think that could be brill, always loved the froyomods I'm gutted Lucas gone to sgs2..upside my misses has one so I'm gonna steal it when she sleeps and flash it.. muhahahaha.

All of the developers need to be employed by the top companies as they produce far better phone Rom. Thank-you to all the developers making my little old milestone keep chugging away.. :-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Beackman:
i think its cuz the gps not works... or.... he is incompatible with GB.

this is great. I think we should build a statue for edgard!

I'm using and getting same thing as everyone else. gmail and gps not working. everything else is great.

edgard, does the updater work with this beta? if so, I'm gonna be checking it every 15 minutes :)

thanks, man! great job.

p.s.: I ran a bunch of stuff from androidiani - applied governor and OC, adblock, a bunch of optimizations - and everything that I can check out is working alright. about 80MB of memory available. :D
