Is it possible to add a circle battery for exapmle from the HO!NO! MOD?

It really looks great, so please, would be nice, if you could help me, thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Found another bug, the live wallpapers like vu meeter, spectomeeter, and waveform, don't work at all, please consider in checking the bug, and the other bugs I reported,
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
Hi cry3200 are you from motorola? Pls release kernel which support swap / compcache he he he
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
That was funny :), no no how could I be from moto, but I'm in France and my milestone is locked to Orange Romania so I use my n97 as daily phone, and the Milestone to find bugs you know like a beta tester ;), so thats what I do until I get back in a couple of weeks xd

Edit: before somewone asks why dont I try fix the bugs myself or provide more info on them, its because I dont really have acces to a single computer, so I can only proide a log from the phone, if edgard wants it,
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] StachooDS:
Its very good ROM but I have one inconvenient problem.

When using other roms (like original 2.1 and MIUI) i got 2 bars of GSM range in my room. When I'm using this rom I have no range (i don't know what's its name in eng) and I cant call and anything else. I think this is fault from radio, can this is changed? I'm living in poland at place, where is very bad GSM range...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
You *MAY* have to flash your carriers baseband, but I would wait for someone to confirm.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] StachooDS:
My friends from our local Polish forum also reported this problem too.

Public challenge to Motorola Europe

Please help spread this as quickly and widely as possible - I'm challenging Motorola Europe to show that they love their customers by unlocking our bootloaders, starting with the Milestone A853 on Valentine's day. I know it's a short deadline, but it should be attainable if they really care about us at all (beyond squeezing as much money out of us as possible).

Please check the Motorola Europe Facebook page for more details - I can't post links here as I don't have a high enough post count yet :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ovitz:
StachooDS, Nightmaster from PDAclub here;) you have to change your baseband, you can do it with OpenRecovery 3.3, basements files are here http://dext3r.komodin.org/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] StachooDS:
I guess that I must install baseband radio for Germany, right?

edit: Yeah, with germany baseband radio works! Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] blase83:
Hi,

Great piece of work this is, but I've found small problem with internet browser. I'm a frequent user of this page bristol acislive com which provides live bus departure times, and often when I use it, and proceed to another website, a few seconds later browser is trying to reload acislive page and suddenly kick me out to desktop. Then if I'm using browser again it starts from homepage, not the previously used website as usual. Anyone have the same problem?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
I really do hope you are kidding, or should I say dreaming?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
That problem is because of the low RAM available, try beta 3 not beta 5, because beta 5 has even worse memory management than beta 3, resulting in the browser crashing with large websites, like blogs, pages with flash and other big websites...

Edit:

I know Edgard said that B5 has better memory management than B3 but after 3 days of testing, I must say that its not fully true, partially yes, I tested beta 3 vs beta 5 with full wipes and same programs, and every time with beta 5 the browser, you tube, and other intensive memory programs crashed whereas in beta 3 under the same circumstances they did not, so my conclusion? yes beta 5 is snappier than beta 3 but under very narrow conditions, so if you prefer long term stability and better browsing/you tube and other intensive memory applications use beta 3
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] blase83:
I had b3 before and same problem occures. I will go for different browser, and see how it goes, thanks anyway! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Try with Opera 10, or Dolphin HD, if problem persists, do a Nandroid and try a full wipe, and after that install B3 any see if it works then, but do not install anything else, if after trying all the above you still have the problem I'm almost sure its a script or something in the respective web site that is causing the crash, or maybe someting with the ROM, dont know for sure, but I can tell you that B3 is capable of loading much more intensive web sites than even the best froyo rom available for the Milestone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
try disabling ads hacks first
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] firez_hn:
Have you tried increasing the VM heap size: I'm not using this rom, but in CM6 I have set it at 48Mb instead of the 24Mb default and it makes a world of difference.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edgardcastro:
New version (build 6):

- More memory tuning. Now based on Google’s recommendation for low memory devices.

- Zipaligned all Google Apps

- Fixed light sensor (props to nadlabak)

- Disabled 3D drawer again (will provide as a separate patch)

- Added Nexus S wallpapers.

- Several other bugfixes that might result in crash of the phone.

There's still a lot to be fixed, and again, memory tuning will take a while before it hits the "sweetspot". Since I do use the default launcher, it's less noticiable for me, ADW at least seems to not cope well with these releases. Might be a bug on either the ROM or ADW, I really don't know. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edgardcastro:
By the way, I am reading all bug reports and taking a look at it! :) Please do say everything you think it's wrong so I can take a look.

Most of the problems SEEMS to be memory related, thats why I'm spending most of the time trying to get this done before really digging into other stuff.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aumkar:
Well, LauncherPro is using some 19-20MB ( debugging ) and I think ADW uses around 14-16MB with the equivalent amount of stuff on there. So far I haven't had any memory problems on b5 ( maybe a few random crashes to homescreen ) but I haven't loaded up the phone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cherrybombaz:
Zeam launcher is a good alternative to LP or ADW; I to it to reduce memory use.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kezs:
I tried changing the VM Heap Memory to 48mb using Androidiani (2.2.1 modding menu), and I'm getting stuck at M. I did that using b5 and got stuck, and only a full wipe solved it. Now I installed b6 and then did the Heap Size to 48mb again, and same problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
Looking forward to trying B6.

Silly question but B5 baseband worked right out of the box, but would there be any harm in flashing the British baseband on Dexters website as I've yet to see any 3G action (although I don't think I ever have, aha).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edgardcastro:
No harm, actually, it's recommended. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aumkar:
Well, I'm getting an error " Failed to move application. There isn't enough storage left" when trying to move angry birds to sdcard.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zuli007:
On beta 5 newest Sygic Mobile Maps is working like a charm :) So time to download beta 6. Good work!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
Thank you for the quick reply.

One more thing, I also noticed that the "System Updates" doesn't work as in the sense it tells me I am up to date. Just wanted to make that known :P .
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] carthikv12:
I ran b3 for barely a day but i noticed that it might've been a bit more snappy than b5 and definitely worse battery than b5... I've had b5 for a couple of days - 3 charge cycles. I did the standard battery status reset before b5 install and also did zip align + agressive memory killer with launcher alive and overclocked to 1Ghz. heres a list of bugs.

1. Facebook app can't refresh.

2. Wifi - turned it off on power widget and indicator on status bar went away but it didnt actually switch off - noticed this after a few hours when battery life fell really fast - this was on my 2nd charge on which my phone died in under 8 hours - didnt use it too much - battery use didnt report anything weird either so i'm guessing theres a flaw with the reporting of battery status?

3. Battery use - this now has a really cool graph that gives a much better idea of how the charge is used - but a glitch seems to be the time at the bottom of the chart (the duration of the graph) doesn't refresh regularly...

Other thing is that I'm running 125x1000-ultralow-intellq overclock profile from the profiles Edgars attached - and i'm curious about the vsels... cos on my 3rd charge i've barely used my phone - only a few minutes of calls and i'm at 40% after 1 day and 6.5hours... this seems very close and even better than my original non overclocked eclair - probably cos of the 125mhz step. But when i'm using it even for basic tasks, on my first charge cycle i got like 16 hours when i was at 20%... it doesn't step between the 250 and 550 steps often - it tends to stay on 1ghz on load can someone tell me what Vsels the attached profile are running? I would like to find something that has a less aggressive max clock or atleast try 1Ghz at a lower vsel... any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kidscracker:
Tested since yesterday, everythings seems speedy, haven't tried Browser yet, but everything else is simple awosome! Great work with the radio/gsm problem :-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
My browser works perfect!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kidscracker:
jut got a kernel panic, may be related with the latest kernel's leaks. It hangs the phone for a minutes and put some garbage on the bottom of the screen. After a few minutes everything gets back into normal function.

PS: My browser works perfect! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mystichobo:
Works veeeery nicely,

I've made a modded version(probably should start my own thread, but meh, edgardcastro did all the work.)

Changes:

-Overclocked to 900mhz, using CM6 default clocks

-Added Cronos kernel/memory tweaks (into the overclock file)

-Set Default Governor to Conservative

-Removed default gingerbread launcher (seen faster snails)

-Added HO!NO!'s Modded Milestone Gingerbread keyboard (Isn't squished like the default one)

-Added File Manager

-If it works I will also include musicmod, because android's default music sucks hard :P

Will upload it in about 30mins.

EDIT:

Actually, I will start a new thread, The path my mod is taking is fairly different to the stock shadowmod
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] atoyu:
good job, thank you!!!!!

crystal talk work?? hows battery life ??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thedoginthewok:
This is just epic.

We have Gingerbread Roms before the Official Froyo is released.

I guess we would have had Froyo month ago, if our Bootloader was free.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Paitor:
Happens to me too with the last Shadowmod version. Turn off and on the screen with the power button 2-3 times and it works again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
Amazing work Edgard!!

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Snotmann:
I tried to flash it with the g.o.t open recovery. It will be installed and if the phone reboots the screen is still hanging on the bootscreen with the "M" in the middle.

I tried to delete user data and the cache partition, but i dont help.

Any idea ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Beackman:
Try using androidiani open recovery 3.3
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
Which rom were you using before?

Make sure it was some 2.2 release.

Maybe doing a reset data / cache from the the motorola boot recovery option (Not the GOT OR) might help.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rivtre:
i ve tried to add some language pack into /system/app/luancher2.apk

after that i got fc,any ideas?

ps i decoded them and resigned after modding
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] P3dRo:
Thanks Edgard for the great job, here the gingerbread are working perfectly, the only problem i've seen so far is the Gmail aplication (it's working, but every time I try to open an email, the Gmail goes back to the inbox).

I'll try later to flash the ROM again to se if it was me who caused this problem, anyways, thanks again for the mod.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Topuz:
Hell, this release was unexpected, good job man, I'm so pleasantly surprised! :)

For me, everything works except Gmail (reloads all the time). I haven't tried GPS but I presume it doesn't work too.

BTW, I don't find the performance to be bad at all when overclocked to 1GHz, totally acceptable.

There are couple of bugs that I'd like to report, but I'm not sure if anything can be done about them.

1. When you slide out the keyboard, launcher and lockscreen graphics are from FroYo? :confused:

2. There isn't the CRT shutdown animation when locking the screen.

Don't mind me being picky, this ROM is the one of the best things that happend to Milestone IMO, I'm just trying to help so all the bugs can be sorted out as soon as possible. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dricos:
How about apps2ext, does it work ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
About the Gmail (and Google Apps in general), maybe new CM7 Google Apps for HDPI need to be flashed, just like we did for CM6 ROMs.

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

Just a thought, I haven't even installed the ROM yet.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] motorator:
Dayummnnnnnn... And here I was thinking it was safe to let my Milestone go out.

You ROM modders are freakin' ruining what little social life I have left :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zxcvshmuel:
My coverage

Sorry for the English Magoachahat - but I used Google Terancaliet

First of all thanks a lot and it's one the best things I could ever dream of

In addition to the criticism is for improvements only, and not, heaven forbid, say something badהקשב

I installed

There are two major problems encountered

1: when you go into Google Apps emails - he goes straight to the main list after two seconds

2: The quality of the camera's focus is very low as the old MIUI

Beyond that should fix the Align Left Hebrew

Has the additional application except email GMAIL

Have not tried but apparently no one can install the existing modes (CM MIUI etc.)

Battery short time I was with the rum (4 hours) looks all right - from 100% to 80% with many Data

There are a feature of copy paste cool form of two markers put at the end of the beginning of the copied section is the most convenient thing to this day I ran into handheld computers (as once it was called until the attached link operator)

The speed of the device is of course most of the changes in Gbhuahah supposed to be under the hood so you do not really paying attention but there are all sorts of cosmetic changes and small dots

How I installed?

I used chrome GOT RDS (After Hence the Broom 2.2 VIVO)

Then I did UPDATE for ZIP released at the top Hathaway Red

Was one case I was to do a full WIPE because BOOT LOOP

In conclusion - I think that as long as the case of Mile untidy so I did not think through it.

But in terms of the camera can survive - those who do not have really sharp images over a medium range

Eventually you should keep an eye but currently do not recommend a regular rum
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alijs:
I love it.. thanx

though the keyboard was a little disappointing...

great job man, really appreciated..

hope you'll not forget Arabic when go Global :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pippocannelunghe:
Can someone post what logcat says when gmail comeback to main menu?

For noobies, to do this:

Plug usb cable from pc to phone

run adb logcat from terminal (or dos shell)

Open gmail and browse through emails...

Copy the output of the terminal here or in case it is too long, copy in a txt and attache here

maybe the case it is just a simple bug :P (I hope ^^)

Thanks!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
Build 6 is awesome, thanks edgard you did it.. imho best memory management of other previous builds

Ps: wondering if you guys can run gun bros now?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 4tticuz:
Sorry for asking again, but you may havent notice my post.

I just wanted to know if it is possible to use the circ battery icon from e.g. hoino mod or another one, cause id like to have a % in it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Take the icons from HONO's build and put it in the build here. Its fairly easy. The icons are located in the framework-res.apk, in the /res/drawable-hdpi folder.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edgardcastro:
You can also use UOT Kichen for all your circle battery needs. :D Just follow the instructions and copy the generated framework-res.apk from the zip to /system/frameworks using OpenRecovery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] billyng91:
Regarding the "snappiness" of Build 3 (which I love):

Hi IMO I think the snappiness we feel in build 3 is due to Build 3 having a shorter "initiate drag" distance.

For example, in Build 5, I need to swipe Launcherpro for about half an inch before it initiates the homescreen movement.

However, in Build 3, it only takes an eighth of an inch to do that, which makes the OS feels more responsive as everything in the OS (menus, homescreen, etc) requires less distance to initiate the swipe motion.

I would like to ask if there is any config file that we can tweak this "initiate drag" property? Or is it due to Build 5 onwards using a slightly older kernel?

btw: great job edgardcastro!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cherrybombaz:
I've noticed that on the beta 6 the browser is much laggier, especially with pinch to zoom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
Have you wipe dalvik cache from open recovery?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] carthikv12:
Can someone please point me to a resource that could show how to select your own clock speeds and vsels?

Any opinions about something like this?

1 Ghz @ 56 vsel

550 Mhz @ suitable vsel

250Mhz @ suitable vsel

125Mhz @18 vsel

These values with a governor like interactive that can effectively navigate between the different clocks is something that would be perfect for my workflow...

Also any way to find the settings on this patch update-smbr-2.3.2b3-overclock-125x1000-ultralow-intellq thats provided by edgar? I'm currently using this, but would like to better my battery life and get more effective switching if thats possible... This one steps from 1000 to 550 to 250 to 125 but dont know the vsels and my batterys taken a hit.

Thanks for your time!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zuli007:
Just download overclock file from first post, unzip it and edit file 71_overclock, then zip it and apply via update in OR.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edgardcastro:
I've made two patches for the installation of the latest kernel and the older kernel.

The latest kernel is faster, but less stable and might result in touch problems for some.

The older kernel is slower but more stable.

This way you can pick your own poison. :)

Links at first post.

I got this from the 71 overclock file - why are there 5 available frequencies and only 4 scaling frequencies?

And any opinions about 1 Ghz @54vsel, 550 Mhz @ 42 vsel, 250 Mhz @ 30 vsel and 125 at 18 vsel? Or is this just more of a trial and error deal?

@Zuli - Thanks a lot for the help!

@ Edgar - Thanks a lot for the faster kernel! I'm going to try the updates and overclocks now! Is the faster one the version you used on b3?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edgardcastro:
The "scaler" just supports 4 speeds to choose from.

vsels are mostly trial and error because they vary a lot from phone to phone.

What you should have in mind tho is that even if some vsel works for your phone, it might not be working as expected. A too low vsel might NOT cause reboots but will cause ECC parity errors on the memory, making the phone slower and draining battery faster.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] carthikv12:
Ohk - so can we remove one of the available frequencies from 'available frequencies section' then?

And regarding very low vsels... is it reasonably safe to test over a day? by observing how battery life drains and general operation, we can judge the effect of the vsels right? If it runs smooth and battery life is improved then it is safe to assume a stable system?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zuli007:
edgardcastro is any program to check errors on memory for android ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] carthikv12:
When I manually change the vsel values in the 71_overclock file and re-zip them... I think somethings going wrong - maybe with the format of the text file? or the zip file?

Cos when I update - the clock speeds don't get applied - only the smart ass governor seems to get installed - setcpu reports only 550 and 250 mhz... when i tried updating with one from Edgars' files - that worked fine and I'm now on 1Ghz...

Any ideas??

Can someone maybe make an update pack for the following values?

1000Mhz @56vsel

550Mhz @42vsel

250Mhz @30vsel

125Mhz @ 20vsel

Thanks!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] blase83:
I have b6 now and opera mobile instaled, but works even worst than default browser with acislive website. Probably a memory related problem, not a big issue for me but fingers crossed for better memory menagment in future builds. Everything else seems to work fine so far, but I will keep testing :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fejker:
You can easily edit the overclock file in /etc/init.d/ just use a text editor and a file explorer on your phone. Be sure to delete the backup file your text editing program might make because in some cases the edited file gets overwritten with the backup during reboot. And be sure to load the overclock.ko module.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] carthikv12:
Is there a program that can open up that file from the phone?

And Explorer can't open the file - tried installing text edit but still can't figure out how...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Yes, you can do it with Root Explorer. I've done it several times. :)
