Strange problem: Apps2Ext and low memory

I'm using native Apps2Ext on 7.1RC10 latest. After installing "Softmaker Office Mobile Beta" and "CoPilot", I got a low memory warning despite there's plenty of space on my EXT3 partition. Strangely enough I was able to free some memory by moving some apps to FAT (Apps2SD), but this doesn't work with all apps. Eg. moving "SO Mobile" freed some MB, moving CoPilot didn't have any impact.

I don't understand the problem at all. App caches and Dalvik caches are always kept in phone memory, so why should I gain free space by moving stuff via Apps2SD? That doesn't make any sense to me.

I tried to free some space by deleting app caches, but all apps show 0KB as cache size. Then I rebooted to recovery and deleted Dalvik cache and system cache, but this also didn't help.

So what went wrong? Is it just a problem of memory not reported properly?

How can I solve this issue?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
Could you teach me how to move data/data to sd-ext? Thxk.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] amossam:
Well, it's few steps, and I don't remember all the steps correctly, so when I come home, i'll create small script for that.

Outline is:

1. Create data folder in /sd-ext/

2. Change owner/permissions to match those for /sd-ext/app

3. Copy content of /data/data to /sd-ext/data

4. Modify init.d script, i believe it's 20app2ext

5. Reboot

Ill report back asap!

Clockworkmod Recovery for Milestone

Hello, and sorry if this question is already answered but this thread is huge and very difficult to find something.

i installed ROM Manager in my phone as i wanted to find out if there is a clockworkmod recovery for Milestone. I found out that gives the choice to flash a clockworkmod recovery version for Milestone - but never install it -

Has anyone try to install it? Is this ROM supports this version of CWM ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
This isn't the right place to ask about it, but no. The Milestone is NOT compatible with CWM, so you need to flash a stock 2.2 sbf from here: http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone221

Then if you want to root and install a custom ROM flash this sbf: http://android.doshaska.net/rootable install OpenRecovery and then root the phone and flash the custom ROM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] koukobin:
Thanks i forgot to tell you that i am already running RC10 so i have done all these. Actually i am using Adroidiani OR 3.3. But i cannot find an option in this recovery to partition my sd card. That's why i was thinking to use CWM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
The Milestone is supported, but I never got it to work, teh.

Oh no! Angry Birds (all of them) have stopped working for me, they usually make it as far as the splash/ loading screen and then drop out to the homescreen. I've tried every dalvik VM size with JIT on and off, and performance, ondemand and interactive governers. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game both through the market and titanium backup. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm only a few stars away from having all of them :/

I'm on RC10, and haven't had any real trouble until a few days ago.

Woah you guys are fast! :)

An update after 2 weeks! Quicker than I thought since his phone was down. :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] markshane:
When you install apps, they also save data to the data/data folder, which keeps on building with all the apps you install and hence the memory gets full.

To avoid this, move the data folder to SD-EXT
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lukasb9000:
And how do you do that? Does this also improve performance?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
I don't believe it is the same.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mike-08:
Cool, thanks for the hint.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ngonchan:
I think so, they do the same way, but different preset for minfree (dont talk about launcher :P )
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Then don't believe, those scripts are changing minfree values (like zeppelinroxes script) and vm values (not sure is that vm heap or something else, anyway, same thing)...

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] AirLancer:
I think this should be posted even above nadlabaks first post :rolleyes:

In my experience, and from what I read here, many CM related problems stem from tweaks applied. There is a reason to the settings nadlabak chooses.

RC10. On boot I have only ~40mb available RAM. On stock 2.2.1 I had ~70mb.

Also, AWG launcher's homescreen lags as hell. I have 3 homescreens completely filled with apps and widgets, but the switching between them is increadibly slow and laggy. I moved to Launcher Pro...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
2.2.1 - Froyo

2.3 - Gingerbread

Froyo is like Windows XP and gingerbread is like Windows 7 (I would say Vista, but I hate it) in that GB uses more resources then Froyo does.

Bug

In stock 'Phone' app in 'Contacts' and 'Favourites' tab I see some bug. When I press Menu button and then close it, delimiters between the green phone receiver icons (underlined red in the attached screenshot) just disappear! When I switch tabs and return back to any 'Contacts' or 'Favourites', delimiters are ok again. Not a big deal, but it is bugging me))

PS: I made this screen shot actually when delimiters were gone. Strangely they appear on the picture... That's why I had to underline them.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
It's been removed since 7.1.0-RC2-11.05.11

"reboot bootloader" reboots to fastboot mode that is of no use on Milestone - rsd lite nor sbf_flash can be used there and no known fastboot commands work. So it led only to confusion.

If you know a way how to reboot to the proper bootloader mode (that can be used for sbf flashing), let me know - it will be appreciated.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ngonchan:
Move apps' data to ext is not a good idea, IMHO :D and for all settings and savegames you have, just use TitaniumBackup to back it up before you wiping data, then, restore them. I think you won't find any solutions to move apps' settings or system settings to ext.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rcummings100:
That's actually exactly what I do too. TitaniumBackup's the best for that kind of thing.

just wait kabaldan phone fixed..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Hey kabaldan,

Have you noticed that using the LED notifications "sucession" prevents the phone from sleeping while there is a notification?

I used to use this because it somehow keeps the led on for a lot longer only turning off for a second rather than being off for a few seconds and on for a split second. Had to turn it off though cause the phone wasn't sleeping...

Also, any changes I make in handcent SMS for led notification blink rate/duration doesn't affect anything.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Same for me for GoSMS. You have to disable the custom LED color in CM settings (completely reset the MISCELLANEOUS category) and not touch the custom LED settings of the apps that you can directly control. I love the option that keep the LED blinking even with LCD on.

Doing this way, GoSMS custom LED notifications works perfectly, and will be the same for HandcentSMS.

I set the custom color for missed call event in CM settings to have the LED always stay on when I have a missed call, not blinking, it's more convenient for me, but since GoSMS have a really nice LED configuration, I haven't set anything in CM settings for it.

I have two questions (maybe they were answered before(if so let me know)):

1. Is the auto screen brightness working ok?

In my case it is always on the same level (some in between min and max)

I have tested it in the bright light and in the dark room (for couple minutes :)) -> no changes

2. Sometimes when someone is calling to me the display stays black (you cannot answer the call) is that known issue?

When I press power button the call is already answered, however sometimes it is dropped.

Please answer my questions.

Thanks in advance
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Charles_l:
For the first question, you can read this article: "How to optimize the automatic backlight settings in CyanogenMod 7". The automatic brightness is working fine, and the no-smooth brightness transition bug is fixed in RC7 or RC8.

the black screen is a known issue, if you have custom the CPU voltage in overclock script, set the lowest CPU voltage a little higher.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
milestone 2 is complete different from milestone. cm7 not working with that
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
If you have configured it once from CM LED settings, it you won't be able to control it from the app settings, even if you set nothing in CM LED/app specific settings.

You have to COMPLETELY RESET CM LED settings, and don't touch CM LED/app specific settings. Then you can re-enable other app specific settings (in your case don't touch HandCent settings here) and, for example, the option to make the LED blink even when LCD is on. Then, it will work for sure. I did it on my phone, now GoSMS LED work like a charm.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Thanks for that website. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Yup, I reset the CM settings with "Reset - Reset all colors and apps" many times and it still doesn't work from handcent. Not only that, but even things like email notification or missed calls can't be altered by the CM settings. For example, no matter what blink frequency I set it's always off for 3s and on for half a second. Choosing the colors DOES work, and having the led come on while the screen is on DOES work but I can't get the led blink frequency to change no matter what I do.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Then delete the settings database in data/data.

Actually I don't remember the exact file you have to delete to completely reset settings.

Maybe resetting only CM LED settings leave something in the databases files so you can't control LED from the app.

I tried, and you are right about the LED blinking rate: I set cyano color for missed calls from CM LED settings, and the LED always stay on when I miss a call, ignoring any blink frequency setting.

But for GoSMS I've never touched CM LED settings, and the LED works perfectly if I set the blink rate from GoSMS settings.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
Thanks i will check it.

EDIT:

I have done everything from the article and still when i am switching to the auto screen stays on maximum brightness even in dark room (test took 60 sec. no effect)

Any ideas?
