are u serious ??did they get swap to work?????^_^
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ngonchan:
Let's wait and see what'll happen :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cronot:
No, there's no swap yet.

Kabaldan tested zram on his dev phone (which doesn't have locked bootloader) and realized zram made a big difference in multitasking (no mention about performance on his reports though), so he asked another dev (Skrilax, that's more proficent on kernel hacking) to look into the possibility of hacking a swap module. Skrilax is currently analyzing the possibility - at this point there's no information on wether it's feasible, and if it is, how long would it take to hack it. But it's (and always have been) a consensus that, if feasible at all, it'd be a VERY complex task, so, if they start development on it, don't expect anything usable in less than a month or two (maybe more). Kabaldan pushed his zram patches onto github so the other developer (or anyone interested in tackling the task, for that matter) could use it as a basis for testing and understanding how everything would work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
thankyou :) all the best skrilax and kabaldan! !! i know u Guys will get it to work sumhow:-)

Mine too is unstable, and no wifi yet...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nitrobg:
Download BetterBatteryStats from the forum and you'll see which program is eating your battery. It's a program issue, not ROM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Am i the only one left with the wifi problem? :-(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andreiblue:
Change te wifi chanels to maximum in wifi - settings. Worked 4 me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
hey guys unique problem here after an issue i had to revert to stock now i have to apply update.zip i havta press volume up and camera to get to the update screen any help how to install. Update.zip? ? I am really wanna get back to cyanogen.....anyone knows? Ty:-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Nope this doesnt work for me :-(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Do you still have the vulnerable recovery? If not, you'll have the flash a vulnerable SBF, there are lots of tutorials for that.

If you still have the vulnerable recovery (you can test it with this) you can extract Minimod Open Recovery to your SD card. Shut down your device, hold the X button and start it up while still holding the X. *

After a while, a warning triangle will show and you'll have to press volume up + camera button. Than you can select "Install update.zip" and your in the OR environment. If you get an error like "Signature unknown" or something, you need to flash the vulnerable recovery first.

* Some older bootloaders need another key to boot to recovery but I don't remember which one:rolleyes:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lucasm93:
Battery seems a little unstable so say the least.

My battery lasted 6 hours yesterday without heavy use. Twitter kept trying to sync even with data and sync disabled. Near the end, there was a really big drop in a couple of minutes. Although it stayed up for another half an hour after the little X showed up in the battery icon (1% i guess?).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
I have vonurable recovery flashed!! But. I need to press. Volume up and camera. Button but my volume button isn't. Workin:-( any help?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
If you type in terminal "reboot recovery" and hold x during boot that may work

If not go to my handy dandy fixes link in my signature and use the autostarts (init.d) script and the auto load AOR script
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
Ya but I can't load OR because I can't apply update.zip because I need to Press volume up and camera for the motorola recovery menu to show up and then apply update.zip but. Volume. Up isnt. Working
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
What's the matter with you? Too Lazy?

You're not the first person to have a broken volume button.

What part of "AUTO LOAD AOR" don't you understand?

Next time don't be so damn lazy and go look into the advice given.

.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
Sorry ..:-) I. Already had the scripts. I just wanted to know if u miss understood. Me ...not lazy and yeh I love Zeppelin to :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Okay.

Lemme know if it doesn't work.

You still have to hold the x button on boot tho.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
worked ..thankyou:-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mike-08:
The wifi issue described here in the thread keeps coming back to my Moto quite often. Deleting /data/misc/wifi helps but it's not really convenient when you have to do this every time you had your phone powered off (simple reboot is no problem, only powering the phone off).

Is it only me that has this problem?

Thanks,

Mike
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Mine is not fixed for 2 weeks.

I dont know what changed after 1 year of stable rom...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
No, I have it too. Look bback a few pages for my fix. Basically, delete or comment out (#) the line in wpa_supplicant.conf that says ap_scan=2

You can do that with root explorer.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Nice :)

Have fun cyanogenmodding ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
If i need to install a previous version, should i wipe all previous data before installing?

As i cant find a fix for wifi :-(

Hey guys how do I freeze or remove the stock music player because it automatically starts up and I notice this everytime when I set an alarm to wake and its disturbing. Thanks for your time
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
use titanium backup
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mburrieza:
If you have another music player installed and you want to get rid of the stock you can just delete music.apk from system/apps and restart.

You can use root explorer o any other file manager with root access.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zankyw:
Talking about the default music player... if you set transparency to the widget in the homescreen, it doesn't work when the phone is in landscape mode.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
zankyw: thanks for the report. fixed.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
That's service for you - thanks Kabaldan!

SF
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Thanks Kabaldan for a wonderful year! :-)

Unfortunately i decided to change Rom since i dont have wifi connection. Even today when i turn on wifi, it says just error nothing else!

Thanks again for your efforts.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenomorph150:
I also encountered an error with wifi, everytime I enabled wifi, the Milestone did run nuts - an overall cpu load rendering the device unusable. Deleting the wlan file in Recovery Mode did not change this behaviour and I couldn't get any wifi connection at all. Settings menu for wifi did never show up active ssids and sometimes wifi did even end up wit the status "Error" (also hung up the settings menu). That happend on an self-compiled image about an week ago. Flasing the stable, offical 7.1.5 and deleting the wlan file did solve the problem for me. Haven't tried an "bleeding edge" image again, so far. But I think I'll and see what happens.

EDIT: Tried an new version, compiled some hours ago, but sadly the same problems did arise. Maybe somethings wrong with the github wifi version - or with my builded packages.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zankyw:
My pleasure, glad to contribute to the best ROM for out MMs!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Did you try the fix that worked for me??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zankyw:
Suffered this problem today and the console of recovery worked perfectly, thanks.

Where should I place my custom ringtone file? There doesn't seem to be a ringtone folder in the SD Card. Besides, is there any requirement for the custom ringtone file, bit rate or file format etc.?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Verenjano:
No idea about restrictions or requirements, but you should create a folder (and subfolder) on your SD named /audio/ringtones and put your file(s) there.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ngonchan:
You can place your ringtones/alarm tones/notification tones in /sdcard/media/audio (which have 3 seperate folders for ringtones/alarms etc. there
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
any news if its feasible or not???

:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenomorph150:
I tried building a new version from the github today, using make clean and erasing the build.prop file. Surprisingly, my outfile is called "update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-Milestone-KANG-signed.zip" - some new stuff comin'? oo

By the way, here is the file: http://depositfiles.com/files/r0rgv4edy

I haven't tested it and most probably it will kill your phone, so be aware of that and nandroid!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Hi guys

Does anyone kniw what to do to bring wifi back to my phone?

Unfortunately this is a reason to change mobile and i cant find anything to solve it! :-(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenomorph150:
For me, flashing 7.1.5 stable, erasing the wlan file did solve the problem.

If it doesn't, maybe do an nandroid, make an complete wipe of data and caches and try to flash 7.1.5 again.

if it does help, revert to the nandroid, titantium backup your important files and apps and do the new flash again and restore titanium. maybe that helps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hearts king101:
I never experienced WiFi issue.

I don't know why this is happening to you. :confused:

Have you tried the solution introduced by kabldan in OP.

Good luck. ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Tried everything with no solution. :-(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenomorph150:
Did you try to wipe and install an older version, i.e. 7.1.1?

https://github.com/nadlabak/android/downloads
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
I have 4 older backups on my phone (even from 2010) however the same thing comes up...

By the way when i restored the oldest backup i had, i felt pretty strange seeing the simple lines/looks of the initial Android, and i think i prefer it rather the modern/techy style that we have now....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenomorph150:
Doesn't sound too good...

Sorry, haven't got a clue if your old backups doesn't help you, than thats bad...

Sorry, really wished to help out...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HO!NO!:
Did you try to flash original froyo sbf for your phone without doing anythin else?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
unfortunately all sbf were stored at megaupload...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
ok found the sbf's, unfortunately wifi issue still exists on/off continiously...

is my phone dead? :(

Bye bye Milestone? :mad:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
It could also be your router... see if it will connect to a different wifi network if you haven't tried that yet.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
But the phone doesnt show which wifi networks are available, it just goes on and off...

The bad thing is that with no wifi, the phone is unusable, except if the user connects through data...

No sync of contacts, calendar, apps etc...

but i cant find any 2.2 sbf's including g.o.t on the internet since multiupload is down.

can i install cm7 on top of 2.1 or can anybody send me a link to any 2.2 SBF

thank you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] florinash2006:
Go to motorola software update tool and use it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] theantilag:
thanks for the advice but it says there is no avaliable update for my device.

as far as i know too there is no official 2.2 for my country.

so if anyone has the sbf please reuload and send me the link

thank you

After 2 years of using this phone, I have now moved on to Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I want to give thanks to kabaldan for all the work you done for CM for Milestone for making my 2 years stay on this phone so endurable! :)

Stupid question: is it possible to backport the ics browser to cyanogen 7? It's the only reason I'm sticking with 9 just now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Yeah I am keeping my Milestone too. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] heorung:
The Browser on Droid Razr is backported from browser on Honeycomb , I don't know if we can use the browser.apk of Razr Rom on our Milestone?

Maybe someone have both the Razr and Milestone can try it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Snoere:
Reboot and settings get lost

Your description sounds a bit weird. But I encounter nearly the same:

From time to time, it seems quite randomly, after a reboot some of my basic system settings get lost. The phone boots with ADW launcher instead of Zeam launcher (my standard). After a second reboot Zeam launcher is starting again, but all my widgets get lost ("problem loading widget"). Usually my preferred input method (SwiftKey) is reset, most of the time lots of my apps loose their market connection (they are displayed as "not installed", despite I can open each of them).

I did a full wipe and reinstall of CM7.1.5, but it didn't improve. Any suggestions?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Sounds exactly like my problem. I use LauncherPro and removed ADW so that would explain why no launcher is loaded at all. I didn't even notice the loss of market connection until yesterday but that's also easy to solve by removing the market "data" from app management.

Extra info:

- I can reproduce it by an unsafe shutdown (a crash, pulling the battery or running out of juice)

- In the beginning, it was solved after rebooting once. Now I need to wipe dalvik and other cache from OR every time.

- I think it started when disabling JIT. Enabling it again didn't solve it though.

- I have not tried a reinstall yet
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Snoere:
some additional comments

I can't reproduce it as yet. It happens randomly when rebooting the phone.

So far a second reboot seems to restore the default launcher, no need to delete any caches on my phone. But Market data is corrupt, widgets are lost and the default input method is reset.

I never disabled JIT, so I think it wasn't a coincidence.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] starky1967:
For one year I had a similar problem with my HTC Dream. It was a problem with the flash storage on mainboard.

Can you perform following command in adb shell:

Adb shell cat /proc/yaffs

Then copy the output to any text editor app on your PC and search for:

eccFixed

eccUnfixed

If the value besides to eccUnfixed is 0 (zero), your mainboard flash is OK. If the values other than 0, your mainboard flash is broken.

Usually this is warranty case, but Milestone is too old...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
In many EU countries (although not the UK) you have a statutory 2-year guarantee on goods purchased from new. If your Milestone is less than two years old and you didn't get it in the UK, you might still be able to claim if your phone has developed a fault.

SF
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
I imported my Milestone from the UK late 2010. In march 2011, the Milestone was released in Holland but I don't think more than a few thousand have been sold.

In Holland, we also don't have the 2 year warranty from the EU in our law, our warranty is, and I translate a quote, "for as long as the you may expect a device to function". Only after the first 6 months, the customer has to prove he isn't responsible for the failure, the first 6 months, this is the seller's responsibility.

But smart-phones don't have any warranty at all here, not even when paying monthly for extra insurance. They'll just tell you there is water damage and send some pictures from the insides of another phone.

Okay, so far my rant on the Dutch Warranty system :P

When the situation gets worse, I'll just get myself another android. I'm surprised it still worked this long the way I handle it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Snoere:
ECC seems fine

Thanks for your help. All values of eccFixed and eccUnfixed are zero.

I think my device is still in warranty. There's a form on the Moto site where you can check that.

Are you using ext partition on sdcard? Is it ext2, ext3 or ext4? Is the sd-ext actually mounted when the issue happens?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] igna.worn:
I'm running CM7 7.1.5 with an 1gb ext3 partition and that happened to me hours ago.

Luckily it went back to normal after a second rebook. But it's not the first time that happened to me.

The reason why I rebooted BEFORE everything screw up was because the phone was laggy and unresponsive, maybe IM+, Skype, and WhatsApp running at the same time it's toooo much for this..

Anyway, now that I can post in the dev forum, I would like to say thanks to you because since the last 2 versions of CM7, my Milestone is running like a quad-core computer, haha , well was a joke, but It is really running veeeeeeeeeeeeery fast. And the animations are veery smooth
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lucasm93:
I'm having problems with Sync.

Many times Twitter will fail to sync contacts and drain my battery to 0 in the blink of an eye.

Facebook is also not syncing contacts after reboots.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html#ShouldNot
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
Which makes me wonder - does an EXT partition on the SD card count as external storage, as far as apps go?

When the phone is connected to a PC via USB in mass storage mode, only the FAT32 partition is unmounted from the phone. The EXT partition on the SD card remains mounted, or else other vital directories would disappear. So surely an application which needs to be installed on internal storage only should be safe in an EXT partition? Or is there more to it?

SF
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
I've got this issue once, and it did not mount the card when it occurred, ext3 partition. Drawer only had the APPs installed in the phone...

After reboot, apps in sdext came back, but, my Beautiful Widgets Widget could not load, had to delete it and re-create it. My Agenda Widget (I use Launcher Pro Agenda Widget) did not have this issue, but I remove ADW from the internal memory and replace it with Launcher Pro, so, the widget/apk was installed in the internal memory and not the sd-ext card. ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
I have noticed exactly the same behavior for few weeks and was about to report it, but I had to send my phone for a repair.

This doesn't seem to be connected with unclean shutdowns etc., perhaps it's a race condition on sd-ext mount?

Edit: Actually I'm under impression that this started to show up after I converted my ext2 partition to ext3.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] heavony.ivory:
same here.

On first reboot app's are not found and not linked to market.

On seconded reboot reboot app's are back but all widget (apn on/off, google reader & sense analog) could not be loaded and I had to re-create them.

I start to experience this issue after I upgrade to 7.1.5 and in the way I convert my 0.5g ext2 partition to 2.5g ext4 partition.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Snoere:
Data loss on reboot

Thanks for your help kabaldan. I'm using Ext2SD with ext4.

Yes, it's always mounted. I just select "Reboot" from the power button menu and I don't touch any of my phones partitions.

Could this be a timing problem when mounting sd-ext on reboot (e.g. when ext4 is restoring data form journal)? It's not a regular issue, it happens just randomly.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
I've found a pretty annoying bug and now I have the confirmation it is a CM bug as I've seen it happening on different phones (Milestone, DHD).

My current phone is Desire HD but I still have and love my Milestone running CM7.

On all CM ROMs I've installed on the DHD since December I've seen this bug.

I use the Power Control widget to control GPS, bluetooth, WiFi, data, etc.

I turn them on only when needed so I have pretty good battery life.

On my Milestone I have CM7 v7.1.0.7 and all is working fine.

My colleague has a Milestone with a newer CM build and on his phone the button on the Power Control widget behaves very strange (same behavior as my DHD). You press the button, see that the button reacts to being pressed, the data connection (3G) comes on but the widget button light stays off.

Pressing it again will disconnect the data but the widget button light might turn on or might stay unchanged (see the screenshots).

My DHD running no matter what CM nightly build (from December or newer) does the same.

Milestone CM7 v7.1.0.7 doesn't have this bug.

I asked the DHD developers about this, someone said it should be resolved by doing a full wipe, I've wiped it every time before trying a new CM nightly, even Factory Reset and it still happens.

One more thing worth mentioning: using the Notification Power Widget button to control data seems to be working fine every time.

Can this be solved? Please help and thanks in advance!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] UnitedOceanic:
can confirm that the ext, in my case ext3, partition does not get mounted without propper reboot

can reproduce it, via zepps battery calibrator script
