Google Maps is the one app that has made me abandon CM7 on my Milestone. I use gmaps constantly, and it has never been stable on CM7 after the phone has been running for a few hours. It runs great right after a reboot, then it gets slower and slower until it is just useless.

kabaldan has been working on the issue... but he needs more people to capture logs and send them in so that he can narrow down what is going wrong and causing the problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ctomgee:
Seems to work so far, and you're right; it is much easier than your original method, and doesn't require install of any additional apps. I'm not positive, but I think android.process.media is relatively low memory usage, so any hit to your overall free memory should be pretty small.

Thanks downloadman!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I believe it's something with memory, but I'll try to get some more logs and what not. It's absolutely disgusting. I remember sitting there in my car while my iPhone friend was like "Dude I mapped it already, just start driving." But I was so eager to show off my cool navigation system until my phone rebooted... Ugh.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
Google Maps is the whole reason I have a smartphone in the first place. I first got hooked when I was given a Blackberry at work, but for the last year and a half I've been using my Milestone. It's the one application (other than mail) that I just can't do without, and I guess I've been pretty lucky in that I've not had too many problems with it.

So I was gutted to discover that it seemed to stop working properly. I'm not so sure it was GMaps' fault though - I discovered that ADWLauncher was running according to the task manager (Settings > Applications > Running Services). This wouldn't be a problem, except that I use LauncherPro in preference to ADWLauncher. I have no idea WHY ADWL was running, but I stopped it and then used Root Explorer to delete ADWLauncher.apk in /system/applications.

Now that I've done that, GMaps is back to its usual not-exactly-silky-smooth-but-adequately-responsive behaviour of old rather than its recent refresh-screen-if-and-when-I-feel-like-it-but-only-if-the-month-doesn't-have-a-Y-in-it mode.

HW Keyboard Prediction

At first.... thanks for this great ROM...

The only problem i have... I like the prediction when using the HW-Keyboard..

This isn´t working in any Custom Rom.... only in Moto-Stock Roms ...

I don´t like the HTCIME Keyboard with working prediction...

Now the question....

Is there any way to get the Moto-Stock Keyboard work on CM7 Roms?

Tried to install it but didn´t work...

Thanks...

Which is more responsible why CM7 in Milestone is slow. slow CPU or small RAM?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Small RAM. ARM v7 is good processor.

Hello,

Is it possible to use local dnsmasq for dns resolving? my network operator 's DNS is crap :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brendanmurphy:
ram is the biggest slowdown for the milestone. The Droid doesent suffer from this because linux swaps can be set up on sdcard. I wish they would figure out how to add a module to do so
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
I would like to edit the notification bar colors but I don't know how to change them.

I've found a lot of tutorials about changing the color of clock, date ecc. but nothing works on gingerbread/CM7 because the structure of systemui.apk and framework-res.apk is different, in particular XML files like status_bar.xml haven't the common structure of XML files.

In CM6 colors were easily editable in Cyanogenmod settings, in CM7 this setting is missing.

I've also tried replacing CMparts.apk from CM6 so I can edit colors, but the changes are not applied.

Can someone provide me a guide or a link?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Edwrib:
smartkeyboard (look in market), can show prediction in hw-kyb.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Paitor:

Redirect all sounds to Bluetooth headset

My first post since 2009!

I have a Plantronics 340 Bluetooth Headset. I can hear phone calls very well. However I'm unable to redirect my other phone sounds to my headset like media player, notifications, game sounds etc. When is paired with other devices everything works fine.

Any solution?

Silly question: Would it be possible to include a new reboot option to the shutdown menu? I think a Hot (or Fast) Reboot would be nice.

Problem with ext2 partition when phone reboots.

Whenever my phone reboots on its own my ext2 partition is not remounted and all my apps are lost. This happened to me 3 times already: once when google maps made my milestone reboot; once when i had to remove the battery to solve the black screen problem, and the third time it just ran out of battery while i was playing angry birds.

Even when i mount the ext2 manually or if it is remounted after a second reboot, the apps are still missing. I had to restore a nandroid backup to get the ext2 partition working again.

This started happening in 7.1.0 RC2, but might be because i had no reboots with previous 7.1.0 versions. I had several reboots with 7.0.1 versions and none of them had this problem.

The problem only occurs with forced reboots. Nomal reboots and turning off the phone do not trigger the problem.

Has someone else had this problem? Is there some solution I can try?

Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] theantilag:
If you have a keyboard like smartkeyboard pro. You have an option there to change it with shift+space
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
I am using that already, 6MB 8MB 12MB 24MB 28MB 28MB.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
You know your apps are getting killed at 28mb right?

They're in slot 5 / Content Provider...

Ya.. I know it doesn't make much sense... but that's where they are

do 6 8 16 20 20 28

The bold ones don't even matter because there is nothing there in slots 3 and 4

I haven't tried my bluetooth headset with any other version. If I install another ROM my problem will be fixed?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Android generally supports routing of music and all other sounds only to stereo BT headphones with A2DP support. Mono BT headsets can be used only for calls.

But there are apps on market that can do what you need.

Search eg. BTmono - it's free and works with my HBH-660 BT headset, on CM7.

EDIT: BTmono (donate version) can be found also here on XDA - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=950472
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
This is exactly why I haven't included the app2ext scripts until there was working support for journaled ext3 or ext4 (= until the kernel sources have been released by moto).

Personally, I'm using ext3.

To convert from ext2 to ext3 using console in OpenRecovery (unmount ext partition, check filesystem for errors and convert ext2 to ext3):

umount /sddata
e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Your data on ext partition should stay intact by the above procedure (but making a backup first anyway is a good idea).

Also, be sure to update your OR installation with support for ext3/ext4: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads/detail?name=OR1.46extfs_update.zip

Btw., better than removing the battery, use shift(left)+alt(right)+del keyboard shortcut, it's easier ;).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] girinovey:
This didn't seam to work:

unknown option -- jBusyBox v1.16.2androidfull (2010-10-30 19:08:02 CEST) multi-call binary.

Usage: tune2fs [-L LABEL] BLOCKDEV

Adjust filesystem options on ext[23] filesystems

do i need to update busybox or something?

edit: I mounted the SD card on my linux box and just ran tune2fs there. Took some extra work but should be worth it ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] divicos:
Just wanted to report even here the coming back of this annoying issue. I have already reported in the Issue Tracker on code.google.com..

Issue 498:	Screen does not light up after sleep mode, but touch screen works

(sorry, i'm not allowed to post links, yet)

I add that the phone seems to become particularly hot, every time the issue happens. Or better, the issue seems to occur only if the phone is, for some reason, hotter then normal. I hope this will help understanding.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSSJ:
You could have installed the latest busybox version to get the correct tune2fs ;)

http://www.busybox.net/downloads/binaries/latest/

I think the package with 6l is the correct one :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Oops. OK.

I've updated the OR ext2/3/4 updater with tune2fs binary (switch.sh updated as well to install it correctly on OR start).

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Hi guys, a little offtopic...

We always complain about free ram, slowness, and other things...

Well, today Id tested milestone 2.

You wont believe how much better M1 is :D

30 fps limit, 100mb free ram (marginally better than M1), choppiness is everywhere, you cant even browse a directory without massive lag.

Phone unresponsive all the time, vibration dissapear until next reboot.

So, making a long story short, enjoy your m1 with cm7 :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Milestone 2 isn't optimized. It runs the Moto stock launcher which is terrible. That's why. Blur also makes it bad. Even the Atrix is slower than my Milestone sometimes.

But with that said, a fully unlockable device is 10x better. The Milestone is still choppy as hell compared to any device with a custom kernel running CM7 with 512mb of RAM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] slvrarrow:
please finalise your froyo rom kabaldan ..! i dislike froyomod and its non stock cm6 feel.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
I know, but things like 30fps limit on 2d, It's pure motorola decision/bug.

So, basically, with a milestone 2, you cant play a simple nes game. You get 15fps If you have luck, against 60fps on Milestone 1. Thats terrible.

Milestone 1 has lots of limitations, but cm7 is as mature as it can be on this device.

Lets continue trolling on moto europe facebook. They will learn the hard way :D

It's a shame other companies doesnt offer hardware keyboard phones :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brandner:
Just applied the last update (05-20), and so far so good. Call quality is good, my VPN and SIP connections all work nicely. I was having problems with Google Maps in the last two releases, but it seems fine so far.

Thanks again K!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Edwrib:
Yeah, RC5!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
In RC5,

- Add option to wake phone with volume keys

- Permission revoke (we can have free app without ads ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zankyw:
I just updated from CM7 7.0 - 0.08 to RC5 and Adobe Flash Player (which was previously installed) doesn't appear as installed.

Did it happen to anyone else?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joker2mbr:
The option to wake the phone up with volume keys was available on RC4 already. I'm still on this version (RC4) and this option is already there. :)

Anyway, it's a nice new feature (among the others)!

anyone have problem in keyboard light??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tegezan:
not for me..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Orangestrat:
Everytime I try to apply an update in OR, if I try to do more than apply the new update and change the baseband, I get stuck on the M logo. I usually go

Wipe Dalvik & cache

Apply update

wipe dalvik and cache

change baseband

reboot.

and that works fine, but If I try to change the overclock, switch the keyboard, change the governor, ect ect, I get stuck at the M logo until I do the above steps and only them.

Is this because I'm using androidiani OR, or am I missing a step?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Keyboard, overclock and governor are changed from cm7 ui, There is no need to do that from recovery.

Battery problems after RC5

I've always had minor battery problems since moving to CM7, but because I am often by a desk during the day it's never been a big concern. I suspect there are quite a few tweeks I can put in place if I need to to decrease battery usage.

I've also always applied the latest CM7 Mod within days of the updates being available. Usually I see small improvements with each update. Aside - I really appreciate the work that the CM7 crew and kabaldan put into this stuff. I love this ROM.

However, after RC5, my battery life dropped more than I have ever seen. In fact, right now the battery usage on my phone is so high that it's actually dropping even while charging. It's been plugged in for two hours and I can't get it to rise above 30%. I've rebooted it twice, just in case something strange was running.

I was out for an hour this morning, and my battery went from 70% to 15% in that time, with no usage.

I opened the Battery Monitor widget, and the 'Usage' section shows that the 'Dialer' process is eating up 55% of my battery. I don't think I've even made a call in the last 12 hours. I haven't installed any new apps recently, and the only "non-standard" aspect of my Milestone related to the phone is the fact that I have an active SIP connection for my office VoIP.

AMM settings - 6,8,24,26,28,30

Available memory: 41MB

Use JIT: off

VM heap size: 42m

CPU governor: INTERACTIVE

Min/Max CPU frequency: 250/1000 MHz

CPUStats: at 1000 MHz (64) 79% of the time (over last 4 hours)

Does anything have any suggestions?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Edwrib:
- Easter egg -

lol! All know the gingerbread easter egg in settings>about and touch multiple times the android version right?!

Now, in same place, touch multiple times in "Mod Ver" (go down from android ver) :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] AirLancer:
I dont have any specific fix for you, but maybe this helps.

I used to have a bunch of minor problems with all CMs and its derivatives untile finally I tried to do a full wipe including formatting the sd card.

It was a pain in the neck since that wipes everything including Open Recovery, but ever since life with CM7 is peachy :)

So if noone else can help you, maybe try my "kill it all" approach :D

--AirLancer
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Most of the androidiani scripts are not compatible with cm7. Except the baseband files replacement, almost all of them have their counterparts in CyanogenMod settings menu or they are not needed at all in CM7 anyway.

Don't use them.

Btw., dalvik cache is used/populated only under android. There's no need to wipe it twice in recovery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brandner:
Re: battery problems and full wipe including SD card

That sounds like a decent suggestion. Any tips? Is it just as easy as formatting the card, putting OR on, wiping, and then running the update?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rcummings100:
I'm in the same situation, except my phone does actually recharge. It just dies extremely fast. It's also overheating since applying the update, because it's staying at 1000mhz with almost constant 100% CPU usage.

I just rolled back to a Nandroid I took before the update.

EDIT: I should clarify, before this latest update I was Ok. I've only had the problems since intalling RC5
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rosmarcelino:
Yes,is not working here after the update :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Which overclocking governor are u using?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ArtoD2:
Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but heavy CPU use (even overclocked) does not increase the phone temperature nearly as bad as the 3G data...

This is just my own experience... I'v had large problems with calendar sync (many google calendars under my account and many items on calendars) So many times after the update I disable the data, use titanium backup to restore calendar entries and enable data again....

So I would look if there is something using data heavily?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
My suggestion is: After everytime you Apply new Update (RC4, RC5, etc) calibrate your battery. Most of times people forget to do that simple thing. Two ways:

1) Turn Off your phone. Charge it up until 100%. While it is connected and shows 100%, remove the battery and wait until a ? comes up on screen. Then put the battery back in. Let it continue charge again..

2)Use the app Battery Calibration.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] AirLancer:
I was trying different mods at the time I did this, so I started out with flashing stock rom, then vulnerable recovery, then OR...

I'd recommend a backup ;) Dont forget to copy your sd card data somewehere, just in case you forgot something (like pictures, videos...).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
You are correct. The heat comes from the 3G usage.

I have an USB 3G Dongle where I can put my phone's 3G Sim card into this USB 3G Dongle which is a 3G modem for your computer/laptop.

After using this USB 3G Dongle for sometime, it heats up just like how our phone heats up while using 3G.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] faeArai:
I can confirm that there are some issues according to battery drain when running RC5: My device does not go into deep sleep anymore. That is why it consumes the battery power that fast. When I put it into flight mode the deep sleep seems to go again. There are a lot of wake locks (wlan etc.) which seem to prevent the deep sleep.

Look at my dmesg:

http://pastebin.com/rBsRVdq1
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
I see in logcat:

EAS Service repeated a lot

but i'm not using built-in email
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
I see many "Successfully put all powerdomains to target state" messages written on wake, so the phone did went to deep sleep correctly.

My phone is at usual 90% battery 9 hours after disconnection from charger (I did that before I went to sleep).

wlan on, gps on, data on, 3g set to auto (but I've been in my home wlan range, so mobile data has not been in use)

I sync only gmail account and I'm logged out of latitude.

So it's not generic RC5 issue, it has to depend on some settings & services/apps in use.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] @ns:
wireless tethering

just notice I don't see the tethering option anymore...any idea how to wireless tether on this latest rom?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] faeArai:
@kabaldan but it wakes up just after going to deep sleep. After switching back to RC4 there aren't any issues on that (with the same services).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] attacker:
Anyone experienced the drain of battery!?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Well, the goal is to find which service/setting is causing the issue.

It's probably related to the email sync fixes:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/5455

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/5485

But as I've said, it's not causing any issues in my case.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Wireless tether has been always provided by the included 3G Mobile Hotspot app.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Lockscreen music control just broadcasts the standard android media control messages.
