mmm, titanium back up, shows me that the ext is there but empty.....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
To me, you wiped ext partition through OR... you should have done 3 wipes instead of 4...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] heavony.ivory:
I have notice that sometimes, after rebooting phone, my last SMS is being sent again.

I'm using HANDCENT SMS, is it something with the setting ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
bound to handcent for sure. Sounds like a problem with the app cache. You should send a bug report to handcent developers.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] _crAss_:
Let's hope Kabaldan will find some time in between the first attempts at jellybean port to milestone, to upgrade gingerbread with the new graphics driver...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
Which new driver are you talking about?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] papadawgg:
nadlabak found a way to replace the graphic drivers, which is special because they are implemented in the kernel and as you might know, you cant change anything in the kernel because of locked bootloader.

there are new graphic drivers for us that are optimized for ics but they also might be profitable for us on gb.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
I thought it was an ICS-only issue, and that CM9 had not any driver issue since it lacks accelerated gui. Anyway, it does make sense. Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
Because the original froyo driver for our milestones was half-as*** by motorola, there were many problems with it not only in froyo, but gingerbread as well. Although the new driver does allow for accelerated graphics in ICS, it will hopefully solve some issues that are still present in gingerbread (I believe Kabaldan mentioned an error when screen rotation animation occurred).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pochopsp:
can those errors be fixed with an bootloader unlock?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
A bootloader unlock won't solve any problem directly ; anyway it would let us use custom kernels to solve problems or optimize features.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] florinash2006:
This is is what I call dead developement. I will sell my MM...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] m0jo:
kabaldan is doing all this mostly alone. He cant fix everything immediately. Please show some respect, ty. :good:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adistf:
sell it,who care's?good bye and don't spam again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
Just to understand your points ... which errors are you talking about? Cm7 is flawless to me. Problems people is talking about are about flashing, not use.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rotundjere:
Who the hell still uses Chuck Norris phone? :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sodan Tok:
There is something to think about, because i dont get it :D

One night, I was watching a movie on my Milestone with Moboplayer. Then i quit the movie and fell asleep. Next night (I didnt use the phone for whole day) Moboplayer and any file manager showed me only data folder and few files on my SD. So I tried to unmount SD and mount in back (in settings) but i cannot mount it back, then I restarted the phone and it was still unmounted so no app was there (ext3 was unmounted too). On PC, Windows could not read the card and offered me format. After that, I booted to Ubuntu and tried the Gparted, which told me there is no partition even the master/partition table wasnt present.

The question is, How the hell is that possible?

I managed to recover some data, but thats not important.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] UnitedOceanic:
i always delete apps in /system i don't use and fill the space with other apps.

recently i started to odex those apps i pused to /sytem.

however i don't know if there is any benefit or i just waste my time :cowboy:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
Kabaldan, I know you are working on Jellybean atm, but I have come across a small bug on this rom. When playing music through the stock music player, after pressing play for a song and then hitting the screen lock key, the song just stops playing and you have to unlock the phone and press play again. Not sure if this is because I am playing it through bluetooth, but I have come across this quite a few times, and find myself letting the song get 20 seconds in before I can safely lock the screen.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] arttree:
Then, why are you still reading/posting here? You must be a BIG Chuck Norris phone FAN!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
the "Chuck Norris Phone" is the best one ;)

and maybe one day Chuck Norris will come and unlock the bootloader with a roundhousekick ;)

for me cm7 works fine, no big bugs, i just deleate some apps in /system that i never use or replace it with apps that i use...

only thing is that whatsapp tells me late that there is a new message (about 10 to 20 minuts after it was send) but only when the display is off, i thing is because the phone is in deepsleep, but for me its okay, if i wait for a message, i unlook my phone and take a look ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
Think it's a whatsapp service policy. Gonna check for info about push or polling...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
dont know where to check...

but in app info i dont change anything in apppermissons
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lucasm93:
It works fine here..

I did notice the battery drops only when using 3G data. While in Wifi there would be no drops. This seems to be some sort of bug since when you plug the charger battery will jump shortly after to it's higher and previously level.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] extrem0:
I think your sd card has gone. What was its brand and class. It usually happens to faster and high capacity micro sdhc cards.

Try Panasonic Sd formatter for windows.

I use whatsapp and i receive instantly even in deep sleep. Maybe your connection is dropping frequently.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] florinash2006:
I went with my MM in service (only one month left) and the answer was that they told me that they can not fix it. So they give my money back. I bought finally a Galaxy Nexus.

Thank you Kabaldan for everything !! You were my savior.

Good bye all!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sodan Tok:
Well the card was OK after format, but yes it was 16GB CLASS 10 ADATA and so far it works again very well
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] extrem0:
Great! Nice to know that.

How did you format it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sodan Tok:
Gparted on Ubuntu, the only program to which I can trust :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] extrem0:
hmm. I thought you said you couldn't format with gparted.

But yes, it's a very good program indeed.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sodan Tok:
I could, but it was weird, because even the gparted cannot find on the SD Card the master partition/partition table, the data were here but in some raw form
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
Did you remember to use an external card reader? Do not attempt to partition the card if it's in your phone (unless you're in the recovery command line interface).

Sent from my XT910
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sodan Tok:
I know and even if I didnt, the card was OK for 4 months and then it just deleted all partitions :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] extrem0:
so, how did you proceed?

I've one in the same situation (raw) and seems to be dead..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sodan Tok:
In Gparted (on ubuntu or any linux I think), it asked me to create the partition table so I allowed it, Then I used foremost to save some files (good tutorial how to image and rescue is here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery/)

But if in your case card is really dead, maybe this wont help you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] extrem0:
I see. Yeah, mine didn't allow create a new partition table. I think it's really dead. Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hearts king101:
Hi Guys

Anyone having a problem with google play as it's very very very slow. It's killing me :crying:.

Also, (Process system is not responding) message appears frequently while downloading form GP. What do you think ?

Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
If it's a fresh flash, meybe your phone is syncing your account (and apps). Try to let it wifi connected for a while...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] MotoMileCm7:
Hi i use my milestone with this rom and try to get nandroid backup but not success, suck on dumping boot,why? Any solutions?

Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
My experience is that nandroid backups fail when you include ext partition. Does your comprehend ext?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] MotoMileCm7:
Yes,i hace ext partition.thanks i try with another sd card without ext.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
I only experienced ext partition related problems when using ext3 or ext4.

Maybe I didn't apply the OR-patches properly - but using ext2 is foolproof
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Hey guys, what's the consensus on just applying the update? Can I get away with just a cache and dalvik wipe or should I go all out and wipe the data partition too?

Can't wait to try this!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hahaboy:
i use or1.46, which sbf ? i;m upgrade from cm6.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Neldrin:
Just to be sure that everything works fine, I wiped all.. Both data and cache..

I guess the VIVO or the other, newer froyo *.sbf leak. However, I got it working by updating to CM7 from CM6 (after a data&cache wipe)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
can anyone mount the ext2 part?

what should i do if i cant mount it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] SophT:
If you're already on CM6 then you don't need to flash the vulnerable SBF - just download the androidiani 3.3 open recovery and use that to flash (it is based on OR 1.46)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dark.blue:
been use this rom for 24 hours...

seems all good...

except, i cant get the GMAIL....

n dont know why, log in to E-Mail, always failed.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
Since many people are satisfied with this ROM, so... lets remove "Preview" from the title of this topic! ^_^
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Any ideas how to use google aps?

I am coming from CM6.

I am reasing that I have to use a new open recovery. How do I do that? Do I delete the folders that already exist in my sd card?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
I've also not got any Google apps after flashing the gapps package. Is there a consensus on how to get this to work?

EDIT: When flashing gapps in Androidiani the progress bar only gets a little bit of the way across before it says "Installation complete!". I tried flashing the CM6 gapps and it worked okay, would I have any problems with this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
HI guys i so much want to be able to use this ROM - is just super after a small 30' try!

But can someone please let me know how to update to Androidiani 3.3 Open Recovery? I have 1.46 and i dont know what to do to update to that one, as i am afraid not losing my current setting and backup...

I though that MIUI was perfect, but this ROM is in a class of its own!!! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lalit79:
Just replace the Openrecovery folder and the update.zip from the androdiani 3.3 in the root of ur sdcard.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rpgman:
Androidiani 3.3 was done on OpenRecovery 1.46 so don't change anything
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
ok thanks man.

So i suppose only the updates folder i should include it back there? There arent any backup folders that i should keep in the new open recovery folder?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lalit79:
Yes. U can copy the contents of the updates folder in the new updates folder and u r good to go
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
Couldn't get the CM7 gapps package working so I tried to wipe data and flash CM7 again, now it's boot looping at the 'welcome to Milestone' screen. Help?

EDIT: Wiped data and flashed, lather rinse repeat a few times and it ended up working again. That's alpha builds for you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aenima462:
Love it!

I was quite scared (LOL) when the screen turned off for the first time after flashing.. I love the animation. :D

Everything works great for me, installation went without a hitch, oc 1100MHz @ 70mV. Just the odd restart here and there.. not sure what causes them but it's usually after I do something in an app and switch between apps quickly back and forth. Quadrant is 1500+, linpack almost hits 16. This rom is amazing compared to CM6 and is wickedly fast and smooth. Battery is getting better too! I could easily get a full day out of it

LAUNCHER REDRAWS... are getting better. but I STILL experience them and cannot stop them. Every time I add all my apps back and fix up my homescreen, it lags to ****.

another problem is changing the pixel density results most apps appearing shrunk, whereas in cm6, most of these apps worked fine (namely facebook)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Gapps not working for me either...

Or better said, half of the gaps are working. I have no gmail or maps. And I did a full wipe as I got frustrated in the end, but same result...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aenima462:
have you tried downloading maps from the market?

thats what I had to do
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
can anyone mount the ext2?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] goodwin_c:
yep :) try apps2ext from attach ;) works for ext2 - ext4 (ext3 and ext4 only with disabled journal)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I have been trying to get apps2ext working on my milestone. I finally got it to not bootloop with my partitioned sdcard (1, fat32, 2, Ext3), But when I install apps they still go to my internal memory. and when I look at the /system/sd folder there is nothing in there. Can anyone please give a quick guide or offer a link that gives details to get this working? I have read all 79 pages on this thread and I have tried everything that I have been reading on how to get apps2ext working, but its not. Thank you to all in advance. By the way a big thank you to Kabaldan for his efforts with the Cyanogenmod ports. They are awesome.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Let's remind everyone that there is an issue tracker, please use it to report the problems. A forum is not the best place for it, as a report here can be easily missed.

@kabaldan: Thanks for the tip about the sms timestamps. Works perfectly now.

@afadel @latino: I tried just now to take three shots. (Auto everything) No freezes.

@fekish: It's inside your sdcard. DCIM folder.

@bijixda: Ok, thanks for the tip, I'll try that. I have awful RAM going at only 20 to 30MB free at a time.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
When the screen goes black, it is just the LCD going to sleep mode. Just give the power button a little press to turn the screen back on.

Anyhow when the LED turns green, it means it has reached 100%. I would then leave it there until the phone does not feel hot anymore... most probably wait for 15 minutes or more.

Then you can start to flash your new ROM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
@kabaldan: Thank you for the guide on fixing the sms time stamp problem.

As for battery life, it is as good as RC1. Only dropped to 90% after 7 hours of idle.

:D

Keep up the good work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] timmey:
I just updated my Milestone from original 2.1 to CM7 RC2 and I´m very happy with it so far. Run´s really fast and feels good. Big thanks for this ROM!

I had one small problem though: after installing the GoogleApps CM7 package (gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip) I had no Gmail app on my phone and could not find it in the market either (even using Market Enabler). Seems it´s not in the zip package at all. I´m now using the gmail.apk from CM6 which seems to work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
Try using market enabler, then you can download Gmail, Maps, and Youtube from Market
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cool bean:
I have the same problem. I can't find Gmail in the market. How do you use market enabler?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
But there seem to be a known issue with Market Enabler on CM7.

Is that a problem? :o Or does it still exist?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Thanks, but the first place i checked was there, and then every folder in the card, but they are not there.. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Just would like to share.

The new DSP Manager is amazing! The intense new bass boost option totally blew me away.

I actually found no need to 3rd party players due to this new equalizer that we have. (PowerAMP, Mixzing).

I'm extremely happy just using the stock music.apk and dspmanager.apk.

And if I understand correctly, Kabaldan was the reason for having DSP manager work with CM7. As always, excellent work man!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
2 Qs:

1. Are you using the stock CM camera app? The one that says "camera" on your app drawer.

2. Before taking a picture, is your Milestone turned on for at least 3 minutes already? (I'm just considering a slow sd card mount by your system.)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Its 08.00 my time, and i discharged my phone at 18.00, had a couple of calls, 30-60' internet browsing and it was on flight mode at night and i have 80% battery.

I calibrated also the phone yesterday.

Just a note, in battery settings it says that the phone is discharged only for 4 hours though. .
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Then u must be from outside USA like some of us here. Just go find this app called Market Enabler and spoof yourself as a device from any of the telco in USA and then u will see alot of hidden apps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
For me, I have a habit of plugging in my phone to the charger or the docking station right b4 I go to sleep and let the phone charge while I sleep (so no need to switch to Airplane mode).

Then when I wake up, I unplug my phone and do reboot (just in case the USB bug is still around).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
There's nothing to do with the battery that i put on the airplane mode (well it might be just a 20%). The main reason is that there is no need to have a continued connection just 30cm beside my head as i'm sleeping...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
Maybe it's time for a OneClickSDCardFix included in the CM7 Tools :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] janosik47:
I had issues with nandroid backups only when using kind of broken SD card. The card was most of the time OK, however from time to time was giving an error. Once I have replaced it, no issues - no matter if ext part. is present.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
As Kabaldan explained few hundred posts ago, using ext2 instead of ext3 puts you at bigger risk of data loss (Please bear in mind that the sd-ext partition is never unmounted properly.). Also, on disk format of ext2 and ext3 is almost the same, so it's very unlikely that ext3 can't be backed up while ext2 can...

Please run chkdsk/scandisk on your FAT partition as often its structure is damaged, even though Linux/Android tools report no errors.

Hi,

has anybody ever played a Sudoko game on CM7 that really worked? I tried almost all of the Sudoko-apps in the market and "Andoku" and "Sudoku4ever free" are the ones I like most.

Unfortunately I have graphic errors in both apps making them unplayable. The "special areas" just won't show. Also some highlighting functions highlight only parts of the squares. I tried switching off Chainfire 3D and switch around the themes but to no avail. I didn't have this kind of problem with older version of CM7 (or FroyoMOD before).

Does anybody encounter the same problem and got this solved? Im desperate ... :)

Greetings
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] janosik47:
Just tried Sudoku4ever free and do not see any issues, I am using build made on Jun 16th
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hearts king101:
No Issues at all.
