Ok, I've edited the file now with vsels i want from my phone and deleted backup and rebooted.

The 71_overclock file now shows my custom vsels...

Does this confirm that I'm on my custom vsels? Is there anyway I can double check that with setcpu or something?

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Topuz:
I don't know if there's a way you can confirm the vsels are actually being used, but I think that you don't really need to. If it's set in 71_overclock, it's being used. You can try to set some stupid value, like 50 vsel for 1Ghz, if the phone freezes, the correct vsels are used. :D

After that you just flash OC settings again from OR to return to normal.

I personally use:

1GHz @ 58 vsel

700MHz @ 44 vsel (not used by the governor)

550MHZ @ 36 vsel

250MHz @ 22 vsel

125MHz @ 18 vsel

All works fine. But remember what edgard said before, if one settings works on one device, it doesn't mean it'll work on all.

If anyone wants to try my settings, I've attached the flashable zip.

BUG:

I found that the lockscreen in horizontal mode still uses the old graphics.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
I dont think thats a bug, because no Gingerbread phone has a slider, so the graphics were not creeated for landscape yet
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fejker:
Like Topuz said, you can't really check what vsel your phone is running at (at least not with a simple tool that I know of) but you can check the frequency with Quadrant -> System information.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] carthikv12:
Cool... thanks guys! I'll just try Topuz's method of dropping vsel till it freezes! haha...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] carthikv12:
Build 6 feels great - i've flashed the newer kernel as well - no instability whatsoever. Very snappy... facebook works fine - battery use graph is still not working properly though and i noticed a very unusual thing - the time on the bottom of the chart which doesn't refresh was actually longer than the time at the top of the chart which is real time - so maybe its not just a refreshing issue? seems like theres some kind of bug in that code.

Regarding the vsels - i tried 1Ghz @ 52 and it didn't boot - got stuck at boot animation... So I updated with topuz's zip and changed to 54 and it booted fine - ran the load test on set cpu for 60 seconds (too short?) with no errors...

Current steps are

1Ghz @ 54vsel

550Mhz @ 36vsel

250Mhz @ 22vsel

125Mhz @ 18vsel

I've confirmed 1Ghz @ 52 wont work - is it stupid to try lowering vsels on the other steps? Or is there no harm in trying for the sake of an experiment?

Edgard, is there any way to observe those errors you were saying might occur due to very low vsel?

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Topuz:
You should keep in mind that default Milestone frequency is 550Mhz @ 56 vsel. So, expecting it to work at nearly twice the frequency with the lower voltage than the default is a bit... optimistic. :)

For example, my lowest limit for 1GHz is 58 vsel, 56 freezes the phone and anything below and I can't even boot. So if 1GHz @ 54 vsel works for you, I think you sould be more than happy. :)

One more interesting thing. OMAP3430 SOC that we have in our Milestones (Nokia N900 and Palm Pre also use it) is declared to run on 600MHz (Mororola underclocks it to 550MHz default), but OMAP3430 is ARM Cortex A8 based, and Cortex A8 is declared to 1GHz and above (Apple A4, Samsung Hummingbird and Qualcomm Snapdragon all clock it at 1GHz). So, what we're doing really isn't overclocking.

User Payce from android-hilfe.de made a comprehensive research about Milestone overclocking and this is an important thing he found:

Freely translated and adjusted quote:

This means that anything <=1GHz @ 66 vsel shouldn't in any way affect CPU degradation, cause overheating or produce other errors.

Anything below 66 vsel is in spec of the OMAP

so it can't hurt it in any way.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] carthikv12:
I think I posted my observations a little too early! haha... 1ghz at 54vsel rebooted - i tried 1 ghz at 56 vsel and that rebooted too - both after a while - when i performed cpu intensive tasks i guess... I even tried 900Mhz @ 50 and 48! haha... yea i guess im just being a bit too optimistic - but i'm just starting to get comfortable with all this modding - so just fooling around! :)

I'm now using your settings - hope this runs stable for a while...

How long does your battery last?

I needed to charge after around 9 hours - but this involved about a dozen reboots - updating to build 6 first, then kernel stuff and the remaining times were to tweak the overclock file, playing with the vsels n stuff and while i was in the OS - i was testing it with set cpu or browsing, light videos n stuff but no games... thats not too bad is it?

Is there any way to calculate actual power consumption of the processor at diff clocks/vsels?

I'm still concerned about the battery use reporting - that doesn't seem to be working properly.

Another observation for Edgar is that the camera is working fine when i use the button - with vignette but i still cant use the led as flash light.

I'm really happy with this build otherwise... Thank you guys so much! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
It is useless to try to check power consumption on different Vsel, use any Vsel up 62 and you should notice very very little to no difference at all in battery life from 56, cause 56 equals to 1.3V and 62 to 1.375 so that is 0.075+ from stock that from my opinion and years of doing overclocking with computers equals to almost no increase in power draw, being a ARM and a very power efficient architecture, so you just waste your time with this your better off making yourself a coffe, and to answer your question: personally I don't know of any ways of checking power draw at different vsels, but maybe someone else knows, just use the ones provided in the low vsel and your good to go, you can edit the 1000 step vsel to 60 and thats it, do the math from 56 to 62 is 0.075 so use that and calculate for different vsel if you really want to know what vsel equals to what voltage
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kezs:
Is it normal that the "about" menu shows Android version 2.3.1? Is that the downgraded kernel from b6?

Most important, does that make a difference?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
2.3 - First release.

2.3.1 - Bug fixes and updated maps.

2.3.2 - Infamous SMS bug fix.

2.3.3 - NFC API

I am hoping 2.3.1 is a type-o and is in fact running 2.3.2 ;) .
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Topuz:
Don't even bother calculating, just use your phone as you normally would and see if it's alright for you. With moderate use (about 20-30 SMS per day, couple of short calls and maybe 20-30 minutes of other stuff) and with the overclock settings I posted, battery lasts almost two days for me. Not 48h, but when I take it off charge in the morning, the battery lasts till tomorrow evening, which I think is more than acceptable. IMO with 9 hours your battery life seems fine as you were really stressing the device. I noticed that reboots suck quite a lot of battery.

Calm down a bit, stop modding, use your phone as it was intended and you'll see that your battery is ok. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edgardcastro:
It is "newer than" 2.3.3 actually. The thing is, we (and also CM) don't use the "numbered" branches from the AOSP repository, we actually use the "gingerbread" one, which is newer than numbered releases. I just forgot to change the version. :D

Put your preferred flashable .zip in SD/OpenRecovery/updates and install as an update from Androidiani OR.

Edgard, one thing came across my mind when you said you optimized RAM usage according to Google recommendations for low-memory devices. I have no idea what those recommendations are, but, are you sure that they're not for low-res devices because they are the ones that most often come with low RAM amount? I think that the settings would be quite different for a HDPI device like Milestone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scores87:
Why would it be different it is basically the same thing I don't think the difference in pixels makes a big difference

PS

I am having problem my Milestone bootloops in the M logo I am using GOT recovery, 2.2.1 vivo leak, any idea how to fix it? Did full wipe like 5 times ;(

Thanks a lot for gb

dear edgardcastro THANKS U SO MUCH.

Though I did not see much difference in performance, speed from 2.2 to thos mod 2.3, its working fine and much stable except few issues. Seems in GB, they only worked on good looks and some good color optimized things. Yes found many new good RingTones.

My 13 year old son Antariksh is obsessed with Android and he keeps on coaxing me to download new version for milestone. I was on Froyo2.2 from XDA, but as he always keep telling me to upgrade, I did flash GB without a second thought. He is happy, I am happy. And he thanks you soooooo much.

Few probs.

1) Small bug: BARCODE SCANNER crashed while closing and I force closed it when prompt appeared. After that, the backlight went 100% bright and manual setting was not working so rebooted phone. It came back on Auto and working fine.

2) ===DELETED=====

3) One more Problem: I tried to install OVERCLOCK update but there was some error. Redownloaded and tried again. Have Androidiani OpenRecovery 3.3.

But it seems there is some issue with this version. May be because I already updated with FASTER NEW kernel 2.6.32.9-gafbfc43. Any help on this issues?

Will post about BATTERY Life later after using some more hours/day.

Thanks again...

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
OMG. If I am not wrong all Milestone have Front Facing Camera. I have been using it with Android 2.1 and took hundreds of (bad quality) pics. After upgraded to Froyo, I never got the option to switch to Front Camera. But as in India 3G is a big mess I did not care to go back to 2.1 for VideoCalls with Front Camera.

If I get 3G in my city, I will sure RESTORE 2.1 with my Nandroid backup and use VideoCalls too.

THE FACT IS, ALL THESE NEW MODS DO NOT HAVE FRONT CAMERA OPTION AND NO ONE CARES TO WORK ON IT. SO SAD :(

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edgardcastro:
Those having problems with the camera crashing, try removing the overclock or changing the vsels to something a little higher. Camera is one of the first things that breaks with low vsel.

By the way, the older kernel is LESS prone to low vsel issues, while the newer crash much easier.

Anyone noticed high top frequency stat of CPU? I am using Android System Info app to check this. I am getting like 20-30% CPU time in 1000 MHz independently of governor. In Froyo it was about 10%

My steps are 1000 > 700 > 550 > 250. I am using interactive governor now as it is using top frequency this same amount of time as ondemand. With was not the case on froyo.

If you check SetCPU info tab “Time in State” often counts three state at the same time. Looks like it is ramping in millisecond to top and then to bottom and again

Using this rom (and maybe CM7 port too) for 1 day without reboot, i think there's memory leak, increased slowly every hour.

This will make camera app or another big application slow or hang, and no cached apps, no multi tasking

Running services after few days:

Total services: 45.9 MB

Something using memory: 109-45.9 = 63.1 MB

Free: 28MB (no cached apps)

After reboot:

Total services: 48.9 MB

Something using memory: 94-48.9 = 45.1 MB

Free: 50 MB (and some apps cached in next tab)

my setting is standard: no overclock, home app not staying in memory

Been posted before.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Cristal Talk seems useless, makes almost no difference,

Motorola Camera depends on some framework and other proprietary files, so I say another no go,

and Russian keyboard, sorry not to seem racist or something but you should know english at least to type on it, as many other people, with other native languages do.

I think the priority for now is to tweak the memory leaks, and other bugs, not to add features that we could all live without, adding extra mods/features would make the rom a custom rom any I don't think that that is the goal of the rom, I think the goal is the have a as much as possible a stable stock Gingerbread, and after that maybe Edgard would provide mods or things like that separately for who wants them, cause not all of us want a modified rom with extra menus for tweaks and things like that, some of us prefer stock

All that I said above is just my personal opinion so take it as just that, and if Edgard wants to shred some light on this, it would be nice :D
