Where did you get the new battery?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] akantoch:
Dear Kabaldan, can You help me please to solve some issue with rom. It is not Your rom, it's miui. I've asked many times on different forums concerned with MIUI for milestone and they did't know how to help me. On all Your roms this problem doesn't exist. I love the look of MIUI so i want to solve this, but none have helped me so far. Problem is, that system_server service uses lots of ram, it looks as if there is a memory leak. People say that miui is slow, but it is slow only when the system_serwer service uses about 40mb of ram in uss (using procrank), what happens after few hours, ant it grows still, till reboot. Im kindly ask You for advice. And sorry for asking about miui on Your forum;) but i think that You have solved this problem earlier on Your roms. Thank You for everything You have done to MS. With best regards Adam K.

anyone has compiled a fresh built? can anyone share? thankyou:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] _crAss_:
This is the last unofficial build available. I have installed it and it works ok.

Also the removal of DRMmanager.apk seems to have the positive effect people say. The phone did not seem so sluggish after 3 days.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
i already am on that build.

:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
There are no major changes that would require new build. Unless you desperately need updated wifi drivers.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nitrobg:
kabaldan, I have a problem with my phone - it's getting incredibly hot and the battery is draining from completely charged to device shutting itself off in few hours.

I have installed the latest CM7+gapps from OP, wiped everything (data, caches, dalvik) and only logged in with a google account. There are no more apps installed, everything is in stock condition. Memory card is basically empty. I've tried everything - rebooting, wiping everything clean, yet the phone is still running incredibly hot.

Attaching logcat dumps:

logcat.txt is from yesterday (100% charge)

logcat1.txt is from this morning (phone died during the night and I'm charging it)

logcat2.txt is from now - for few hours on idle the battery was down to 60%.

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you.

Hi

Is there a way to reduce bluetooth in-call volume?

Even if I set to the minimum, it sounds like it's in maximum. I can listen to my music very well, at almost on full volume, but when I start a call, it goes louder than the music, even if I set the call volume to the lowest point.

Thanks.

@edit

tried TheFroyoMOD without success too, but on an iPhone 3G it worked nice. It seems like volume controls in bluetooth doesn't work on my Milestone. It shows the volume bar increasing/decreasing, but the sound doesn't reduce.

I'm using a Belkin F4u037 http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=525857
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
New build - unofficial, ofcourse

It's been very long since last update. :)

Not much new but i know how frustrating it can be... :D

Changes:

Updated wifi drivers
LatinIME (keyboard) is a part of systemui process to save some ram.

You know the drill: nandroid, wipe caches...

Apparently Motorola put some extra effort to screw Milestone users. Everything is the hardest for us. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dstruct2k:
Bluetooth connections for Media and Phone are seperate, even if they're going to the same device, it's 2 seperate channels of Bluetooth connectivity. If your carkit doesn't support in-call volume control on Android, you might just have to reach up and turn down the volume knob.

I say this, instead of offering help, because I have 2 seperate headunits with Bluetooth Media/Phone capabilities that work fine, but on my friend's el-cheapo Bluetooth-FM unit (pairs for Media and Phone, transmits on an FM station) I have the same problem you do. Have you tried any other Bluetooth units? Go to a car dealership and ask to try a car with Bluetooth for compatibility with your phone as your "next vehicle purchase" (don't tell them it could be years from now ;)) will depend on this functionality.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] extrem0:
Hmm... yes, I know this. Actually, I'm now pairing only media capability, and using the phone speakers for calls. I will try what you told me, but not this way! :P

I have been researching about this and find out that the new iPhones 4S ios5 have this issue too, but the difference is that bluetooth in-call volume is disabled in ios5. I will test my Milestone in other bluetooth device. But most of these devices have a volume control inside, this belkin doesn't.

People that use task killers doesn't have the right to complain about battery life... There is a lot, I mean, A LOT of information why task killers are bad and why you should not use it, so I won't re-invent the wheel. ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
Task killers are just designed to kill apps and free ram, but that's not how android works. Android loads apps into memory slots when needed, and just leaves them there until something else needs it. By killing apps, you make the system have to reload some apps, which uses more power, thus resulting in poor battery life. Task killers really just defeat the purpose of the way android manages memory. Hope this helps a little :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] heavony.ivory:
I can confirm that reverting back to old libaudio solve this issue (of course this disabled the call recording ability)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] extrem0:
I'm using for 10hrs with wifi full time, barely used, and remains 60%.

Maybe your battery is damaged or your milestone is not getting into deep sleep mode. Check it with CPU Spy. Take a look at running applications too, you can see if an app is frequently restarting (what can be caused by task-killer). Running many (sync) applications like google maps, whatsapp, viber, facebook, beside keyboard and launcher, cause this battery drain also.

Thanks! It really seems to be an incompatibility with the belkin. I tried in a car with bluetooth capability and it worked nice. Call volume was really good. Now I don't know what to do. Upgrade to a $300 smartphone or to a $30.000 car. :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abu3792:
I don't own any sync app except map and gmail ....anyways it helped me but then again its not the phone which came recently it was the was phone which had the first glimpse of android stuff
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abu3792:
Well am surprised to know that it remains 60% at the end of the day cause I charge my phone like thrice a day with heavy call and full wifi. ,barely used as you said ........prolly sometimes its just the battery
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Stop using the taskkiller.

Enable the GMaps Hack in Cyanogen Performance settings.

Don't use any widgets and Live wallpapers

Configure "Toggle2G" correctly for your situation

Remove any system app you don't need from /system/apps

Buy Autorun manager and disable the Boot receiver and as many other receivers for your applications so they won't stay running in the background and you won't notice the disabled receivers.*

Keep Wifi and Bluetooth turned off as much as possible.

* I disabled:

Autorun manager

Startup receiver

Probably, a lot more can be disabled but I haven't updated my list for a while now. Planning a re-installation so I'll post an updated list somewhere this week.

Just keep in mind, only use your taskmanager to check on what applications are running at the moment. Disable it's own boot receivers so it won't constantly run and use resource!

Latest unofficial build link is dead

Hey,

I can't put the url but the post a page or two back has the url for this file: update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-umts_sholes-UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip

And it seems to be a dead link.

Is this for a good reason that I couldn't find in the last few pages?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Link is fine. The filename you posted is old naming (possibly from older post or out of xda). I started to append date 'cause it became confusing to know what is what (update-cm-7...-signed_20120418.zip).

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
With regard to missing Messaging and Android Keyboard - Kabaldan has moved them into a system process pool which saves few MBs of RAM, and which unfortunately changes their UIDs. You can either fix permissions on their data or simply reboot - upon reboot, the system will re-create default settings (you'll lose your custom settings).

@Kabaldan: Did you consider security implications of moving the Messaging and Keyboard app into SystemUI space? Regardless of this, I'd say that population of CM4MM users is rather negligible to be an attractive target for exploitation of a yet-to-be-found bug.

Sent from my Milestone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Well, yes, the concern is perfectly reasonable.

On the other hand, what's moved to shared uid is exactly just the LatinIME and Mms app whose source code is published on github, not any random input method/messaging app installed by user.

So far, in the SystemUI process on Milestone, we run DSP Manager (but it's actually running only if the effects requiring persistent service are enabled), Usb app, LatinIME and Mms app. That's 8MB of spared RAM on persistent processes, which I guess is worth it.

Anyway, the whole, much lager system framework itself offers much more interesting playfield for potential vulnerability hunters :).

Is there anyone having the same issue?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] papadawgg:
@kabaldan

i would like to know, why you dont integrate the gapps in your builds. i mean cyanogen isnt allowed to but since this is no official cm, there should be no legal problems. the reason, why im asking is that maybe you are also able to implement the google services process into systemui. this would also free us some ram.

Wifi WPA2 AES

Hello,

I flashed this rom on my friends milestone. He has a Dlink DIR-655 Router, configured with WPA2 AES PSK. When trying to connect he gets the "famous" connects, disconnects, searching loop. He never had this problem with the stock firmware. (Side note, the WPA2 AES PSK Cisco wireless setup at the office works just fine)

After a lot of searching I am confused why he is having this problem. It looks as though this problem was resolved quite a while ago. I also flashed the very latest unofficial build of CM 7.2.0 RC1 recently posted but he is still having problems.

I haven't been able to troubleshoot the problem first hand but I have tried what is mentioned in the first post (rm -R /data/misc/wifi) hoping it would magically work.

If anyone has some suggestions for a fix I would be grateful. Different Kernel? Different build of this rom with different drivers? Different rom altogether(would prefer to avoid that)?

If I'm missing any details just let me know.

Thank you
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
Finaly found some extra clues about the "simple state" my phone reverts to after a reboot.

It seems creating the Ext3 partition on my SD card was actually somewhat successful. After a reboot, the partition doesn't get mounted so only apps in /system are available. Previously, the launcher was in /data/apps so it wouldn't get loaded. Now I get a launcher but all other software is gone, not even SU is there.

Booting to OR and clearing caches helps, than it works perfectly. Until next reboot.

Extra problem for me is that booting to OR doesn't work when /system/etc/init.d/autoboot_or isn't deleted. so I was stuck in that state. Luckily, I got in through a little trick.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
Phone.apk in systemui?

I was wonder why don't run Phone in systemui processs? It is persist process too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
alicheusz: apps sharing a process have to use the same shared uid, hence the same set of permissions. Telephony apps need other permissions than system apps.

com.android.phone process is already shared by several apps, it's not only Phone app, but also Telephony provider, Sim Toolkit and also Toggle2G.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Google apps use their own shared uids. Uids are tied to signatures.

A change of uids and the corresponding signatures would break the functionality.

Signature mismatch would also cause failures when some of the gapps would be updated from market.

Don':confused:t work!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
First of all, great work on this ROM Kabaldan!!

I've traded in my perfectly working Galaxy with my wife for her Milestone (Droid).

This phone had (has) a lot of problems: freezes, FC's and reboots, but also not being able to pick up a call, hanging up during a call or not making a sound when ringing. Just before she was about to throw it out of the window (hitting my car, which would have been the *real* drama :D) I persuaded her to swap!

I've tried Cronos Froyo and CM6, but they all had the same problems (and wifi didn't work)

So I tried CM7 RC0 and up until now it works a lot better (wifi works!), albeit not perfect.

Still having random freezes and reboots, but I really believe the ridiculous amount of internal memory (256mb) to be the culprit.

So now I wanted to upgrade to RC1 (RC2 as I'm writing this, yes!) but there are still a lot of things that I don't understand being new to the CM world, even after reading most of the pages in this topic:

- The milestone is not supported by Cyanogenmod? What does that mean anyway?

- why is there no CM7 to be found on http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/motorola-droid. Something to do with my first question?

- Wasn't the problem with the milestone that the kernel couldn't be replaced? So it's still running on a 2.1 kernel or leaked 2.2. kernel??

- what will happen if I remove some apk's from the zip-file before flashing? Will the flash fail or will it be an easy way to get rid of ADW, CarHome etc but also gtalk, voice control?

- anyone else having good experiences with going from smartass to interactive governer (concerning reboots)?

- What does this mean exactly:

Please, if you are experiencing random reboots (that involve the M logo) or prolonged screen freezes, you should revert to an older beta kernel that is free of the DSI errors.

What is the difference between the kernels, what will I miss when using the old one (so it CAN be replaced?) and do I still need to do this now that RC2 is released?

- with the Galaxy there was a problem when flashing with less than 100% battery, battery stats went crazy. This was fixed by deleting some stats file during the flash. Is there something like this in CM too?

I believe the problem is a lack of memory. In my case (MM) LP gets killed of by Android because it has no more resources available. But...if you keep LP in memory another application might be killed, like a mediaplayer, whatsapp or your sms app.

I do have some apps on the SD card though, so I will look into the app2ext solution.

But I still wonder: why did they put only 256mb internal memory in the Milestone! :mad:

+

100% this should only work with the AC loader? BC when I insert the usb-loader connected to my pc it starts up the phone and I don't have the AC loader here :(

Thanks for any answers :)
