does 1.6 REQUIRE a reset?

i tried flashing 1.6 over 1.5 with the boot.img that comes with it, the o2 kernel, and the .04 kernel... and it WILL NOT load... kept getting error-7

i had enough troubles going from 1.3 to 1.5... using the .04 boot.img because that was the only one that would load correctly, without aborting. The redraw on this is HORRIBLE with both memory scipts. Doesnt matter how i load the overclocks or memory.. its just slow & i want to load 1.6. Someone please help me.

Here is what i did:

>dropped to updates (usb mode in OR)

>made nand backup

>wipe dalvik

>wipe cache

>install v1.6

-ERROR 7 (installation aborted)

Try an app called "Wallpaper Set and Save"

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.wallpapersetandsave&feature=search_result

I installed it because I wanted to save the current wallpaper without having to crop it again.

But it will also let you apply a wallpaper and doesn't even have a crop feature.

It just does it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
Make a nand back up with data and cache only.

Wipe data,cache and dalvik.

Apply the rom and gapps.

Restore nand

wipe dalvik

restart

Question

Question... I have HoNo! rom CM7 based, have alot of apps on Ext2 partition, what is the procedure of install this ROM ???

OR>3 Wipes>Apply rom.zip update>apply apps2sd_all.zip update thats on the forum>reboot???

Is this procedure correct or i miss something:confused:

Also, what baseband uses this? Telus(like CM7) ?

Is Overcloked? I assume its has the cyanogenMOD menu in configuration menu, right???

Cheers:cool:

Can I request you put APAC kernel back? I get loads of random reboots and battery is poor when phone is being used.... also what are motoblur animations?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
followed this EXACTLY for both (coming from 1.5) 1.6 and 1.7 and this is what i got...

-----------

Welcome to iceandfire-1.7-11.03.12-Milestone!

assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/bmp/boot.imp"."boot")

E:Error in /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates/update-iceandfire-1.7-11.03.12-Milestone-signed.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

tried with stock boot.img, the o2 version and .04... none of them worked... WTF?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
That looks like an update script error.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
nevermind...

did 2 FULL wipes.. then rebooted. wiped the dalvik/cache & then went though everything again and it worked with the .04 kernel. FINALLY!

really wished it would have worked with the o2 kernel, that one was much smoother and didnt have redraw issues. Glad the SuperUser crash issue is fixed in this version. Tho "Anim Mod" doesnt work with this version. It hasnt worked with this ROM since 1.03... not sure why, but it doesnt.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
It seems like the OR isn't wiping your system properly.. I always test and upload the package. If it doesn't gives me an error anywhere, I upload it.

Already instaled after fullwipe...

Was there on 1.6 already
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Check the status_bar_close_on.9.png in the /res/drawable-hdpi folder in framework-res.apk and see if the png itself has a problem.

If not, then ice&fire may have to help you out.

Edit

: That png is in SystemUI.apk under the same folder.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lukasb9000:
Ok, thanks!

I checked it and it's not the png!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Try some different theme, theres plenty of 'em. P.S. check Honeybread Alpha 4, its here on XDA :]
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fxandrei:
I had problems with installing gapps , the phone kept showing me the booting X logo then "press the android" and then X and kept on repeating.

So i downloaded http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-gb-20110114-signed.zip along with the rom, headed to androidiani, wipe everything (cache, dalvik, data) installed the rom, the gaps, and then wiped cache and dalvik, and it worked fine.

I have to say its pretty snappy and i like it.

I hope the battery life is better than froyo mod.

Error mounting SD card???

So I'm coming from SenseGinger rom. I did a full wipe, cleared cache and dalvik. Installed from SD card Iceandfire v1.6 and the gapps. Upon initial boot it said "damaged SD card" and asked if I wanted to format? I clicked yes and it did nothing and just said "damaged SD card" again. So...I was like OK then! And I reboot into recovery so I could just wipe and reflash my previous rom, UNFORTUNATELY! it says it can't mount my SD Card now! So I'm stuck!!! What do I do now?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
SenseGinger rom for milestone? This rom is for the milestone A853. I don't know of a senseginger rom for the milestone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Palingenesis:
OK, that might explain it....I thought Milestone was part of the ROM name. I found this thread through G2 forum and thought this was for G2!!! Crap!! So I flashed a rom that wasn't even for me phone! How do I fix it?!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Try connecting your sdcard to your pc and see if it shows up. You may have to reformat your sdcard using your pc if you get the same error. But you will lose all your data.

Try flashing the original stock rom for your G2.

That's about the only advice I can give you as I don't know how the G2 works.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Palingenesis:
I sincerely appreciate your trying to help. Unfortunately, it doesn't let me access the SD card in any way! I can't mount it to PC nor can I mount it via phone. I suppose buying an sd card adaptor might work? My brother has a G2, I'll ask to use his when he gets home, see if that works.

EDIT: Was able to wipe the sd card completely, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure how. I put my SD card in another android phone, got the same damaged sd card error, put the card back into my phone, wiped data, successful wipe, went to flash a previous rom, said no files found. mounted the sd card to PC, NO files at all on sd card. Downloading new rom now and will try to flash. Perhaps this thread could help somebody else who might have similar problem. Will edit again once I've tried flashing.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Can you flash the stock rom without the need of the sdcard? If yes, then do that and then try accessing your card using the phone. If it asks you to reformat, say yes and see if this helps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
+1 @ APAPC

...much smoother and ZERO redraws!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Palingenesis:
Fixed the problem. After that strange wipe, I downloaded a new rom on the card and it wouldn't flash. So I thought to try a second SD card, restore some of the files I might be missing or overwrote. This did the trick. I put a new rom on the second sd card, flashed it on my phone and that solved the problem. Once I put my original SD card back in, it gave the same damaged sd card error, and when it asked to format, I said and this time it checked the card for errors and it came back clean and working. So no need to format again. All it working. Thanks a lot for trying to help. I wrote about this issue on two different threads and even made my own thread, you're the only one that made an attempt at helping. I appreciate it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
No Probs. Good to know that you had your problem solved.

how to get apps2ext

Hi iceandfire, as u have stated this rom is ready for apps 2ext pls let us know if i need to flash any other zip file to enable this function or write file path, like mkdir /system /sd. Pls if u can give a proper guide to follow as i would love to use this rom with apps2ext. Tnxs
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kezs:
I must be doing something wrong. just updated from 1.5 to 1.7, wiping partition/dalvik. do I always have to reinstall and reconfigure gapps every time I update iceandfire?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
APAC kernel added.. Sorry for the delay, ive been really busy with some stuff. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
Can you put it in next ROM too?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12035409&postcount=389

same directions i used.

I would highly suggest the APAK kernel... its the most efficient one!

Also, yes... you do have to flash gapps EVERY time.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
why is it that NONE of the kernels on this rom allow for charging with the battery off?

Well.. i mean it does charge, the charge-light comes on, but only the M logo is shown. It does not show the battery meter. Then if i do a battery pull & wait for question mark to show, then put it back in, it stays as the question mark but still charges.

When going to the phone-test menu, (*#*#4636#*#*) it doesnt show my MAh! On a FULL charge should be 2300-2400. Is there any way to see my MAh rating and obtain a true full charge?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:

After flashing1.7 then reboot into AOR/OR -> console -> mkdir /system/sd

Then you will have app2ext after reboot your device

Install Market Enabler, choose Tmobile, fake the provider. You can download them from the Market then.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] aboycalledsu:
hi,

thanks again for the hard work keeping this rom up to date

i'm not a big fan of the new font - anyone know a way to change it?

thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lukasb9000:
I figured it out by myself!

Here's how you change it:

Download the DroidSans Font here http://www.google.com/webfonts/family?family=Droid+Sans#download (You can "pay" 0$)

Or extract it from a previous rom version from system/fonts/

Note that you only need the font DroidSans

Then get the it on the SD and replace the new font located in system/fonts/ with this one... reboot your phone and it should be normale again!

=D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] strikermdd:
No, i want to integrate the gapps in the zipped rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Lol, its not so simple. U should open ROMs zip, and see how iceandfire is putting in apps like torch.apk etc. Or, u could ask iceandfire with PM, maybe he can help u.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] aboycalledsu:
@lukas thanks... worked like a charm! Do you think that means we could use any ttf font instead?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lvcio:
Wich is the Kernel that gives more performance???

And wich is the kernel thats more stable???
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] handsomeboy1702:
I did what you said. but I think I forgot to mount as R/O again. The phone then keept looping reboot. Got the batter out then put it in again. The phone automatically started to boot again. I cannot get into AOR to flash the ROM again. What am i supposed to do now?

EDIT: managed to get into AOR. I'll do it again to see if your method works
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
I think you can, but you need to rename it to droidsans etc So the system will recognize it.

PS: I'm not sure about this
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
Okay people having problem with the new font.

Download the attached font extract it and replace it with the current one in the system/font folder..

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jackeh070:
What are the problems, exactly? I may have just not noticed something that goes terribly wrong... Or it works well for me.

As for 1.8 itself, high amount of free memory (around 50MB for me), but it doesn't help the thing at all. It's smooth on most times, has strange slowdowns from time to time, and still FCs the launcher just when it did with previous versions. In theory the difference is huge, in usage it seems to be close to none.

Will keep on testing!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Read the supercharge link in my signature.

I think "people having problem with the new font" means people who don't like the current font ;)

Hello,

I'm having a problem with with apps2ext. I've partitioned my sd card, one is formatted as FAT32 and the other is formatted as ext2.

Whenever I try to move an app to sd, it says "Failed to move application. There is not enough storage space." I only have 1gb worth of apps... so it doesn't make sense. I've tried moving "Androidify" to SD and it didn't work.

I have a class 4, 8gb sd card and I partitioned it into two 3.8gb partitions.

I used "minitool partition" to format and partition the sd card.

I'm using v1.8 of I&F's CM7.

Can anyone help me figure out why it's going wrong?

Thank you,

lilhugo

P.S.

I've tried searching around, but I was confused because I thought CM7 already had apps2ext activated without me having to do anything special. I'm sorry if the answer has been posted...if so could someone link it please? ^^;
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Wow... I use AOR's install theme feature... I put stuff in:

sdcard\OpenRecovery\theme\froyo\bootanimation

sdcard\OpenRecovery\theme\froyo\fonts

Then I install theme from froyo menu...

@lilhugo When you use app2ext, you DON'T move to SD card. You install stuff "internally". When you do that, it automatically gets installed to the ext2 because android thinks the ext2 partition is internal via linux voodoo stuff.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
Yeah but this has 100+ BootAnim's and 200+ fonts... and you can change on the fly, instead of looking online, being out and about.. without a data-cable & unable to load stuff into your OR. This is sweet, simple and fast.

Full Previews on all animation & fonts. To me, its easier than looking around online... ya know?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
What, really? That's cool but it must be a big ass download... lol
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
actually no... its a small app. The list is just a preview section... then you download the anim/font after you decide on one you want!

If you want the current .apk... message me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
Will someone please link me to a page with the CURRENT gapps?

i have the earliest cm7 one, but id like to bookmark the page, just to make sure i stay up to date with things.. ya know?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lilhugo:
Oh wow really? That's pretty crazy! I just got it working. =D

If I didn't want it on ext2 for some reason, how would I get it to go back to the phone's internal memory?

@Ph0z3,

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps

Is this what you're looking for?

Thank you,

lilhugo
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Actually, you can't install apps to internal memory with apps2ext enabled. If they were internal before using app2ext, they actually got moved to ext2 partition after enabling it.

Widgets work fine this way so I'm not sure why you want any apps using internal memory.

in the *#*#4636#*#* dialer "testing menu"

how i permanently keep this on GSM-Auto (prl)

By default this loads on wCDMA & i lose signal with this when i go down into my studio/basement & alot of places in the business district downtown... with GSM i rarely ever lose or even get down to 1 bar. With wCDMA in my studio & downtown i drop to either "no service" or "emergency calls only"

in the build.prop file it currently reads as follows:

# Default network type.

# 3 -> GSM/WCDMA (auto mode, according to PRL)

ro.telephony.default_network=3

What do i need to change to, for it to be GSM-auto by default?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Apparently that setting favours GSM if the signal is strong enough.

By judging from this link http://android.modaco.com/content-page/326973/tweaked-2-6-29-kernel-source-for-the-pulse/page/20/

it looks like ro.telephony.default_network=1 will force GSM only.

Also, it seems the numbers correspond to the order in which they appear in the list.

I doubt yours would show a different order.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 340865669:
I thought of several improvements that might help..

1. Prevent launcher redrawing by using the method which can be found at milestone general.

2.Add security app in system/app such that it is "hard reset resistant", which would be helpful to find lost phone

3. Allow file of any format to be sent by bluetooth

4. Add an app which helps to choose mp3 as ringtone(handsent sms includes that, I dunno if there's any individual app which can do that too)

5. Include a script to enable/disable app2ext, enable/disable camera sound, etc

6. Add more options of vm heap size/cpu clock in cyanogenmod menu

7.Hack the minimum brightness (dimmer!)

8.Add crystal talk
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lukasb9000:
