I have some updates I need to share regarding the Phone BP Panic message with the latest update 7.2.4f:

I've tried already almost everything and recently, 3 weeks ago I've started something, which I have not tried yet. First I've changed the CPU governors to performance, since till now I've used only the interactive method. 2 days later I've got the BP message again. So, changed the CPU governors to conservative and 4 days later, I've got the BP message again. Then tried to change the governor to ONDEMAND and it's been 2 weeks so far - no BP messages and I reboot the phone once per 2-3 days, so I have not experienced lack of memory. :good:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hanschke:
Any idea why the play store cannot download any app now?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ShinG0:
What's the error message?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hanschke:
there is no error message. Thats the problem. About 20 apps want an update. I do an update all and see the process bar dont get further and no download arrow appear in the notification bar. After hours I have test it there was nothing updated.

I dont have changed anything on the phone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ShinG0:
I remember that I had the same issue before with some old update. I did several things to solve it and I can't remember which one got it fixed actually.. So you may try:

-go to Settings=>Applications=>Manage Applications=>All=>Google Play Store . Then click Force stop, try to uninstall all updates and clear all data/cache . Then do the same with the Google Play Services. Then go to Settings =>Accounts & sync settings => Manage accounts and remove your current Google account from there. Then reboot the phone and try again to re-add it (the account) and give it a try.

-use some application to browse the system files like Root Explorer . Go to /data/download/mystuff/ and empty the folder.

-if it is still not working - then you can try to download the latest Google play update and install it.

-if it is still not working - boot into a recovery mode and wipe dalvik cache and wipe data / factory reset.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fzelle:
Isn't that a typical hanschke (rofl)

Try a reboot
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hanschke:
lol it is not my phone anymore but my problem cause all your suggestions dont help :( thats strange cause my dad dont change anything.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ShinG0:
So there is always an option left - completely re-image the phone :) :good:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hanschke:
thats right but I thought maybe to find this problem. I need 2 apk. The clever-tanken and Google+
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ShinG0:
There is a way to download apk files directly to your machine without phone. Just GOOGLE IT
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hanschke:
I know this but dont help me. I got the wrong G+ APK and a parsing error if I try to install the one from my galaxy nexus
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
That is most likely because your Galaxy Nexus is running on Android 4.x and some apps exist in both 4.x and 2.x versions.

You need the 2.x version of G+.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hanschke:
thats right
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
I have a question:

Is this forum abandoned by Developers?

I am wondering about changing the phone, however, here there was always support so I was waiting about the support to end.

Has this already happened?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andoruB:
That depends on what you mean by "support".

While the Milestone is a nice and decent phone, if I had the opportunity I'd buy me a better one. The fact that it has reduced amount of RAM really doesn't help much ^^;
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] _crAss_:
Practically no one is compiling ROMs any more. There are usable CM7, CM9 and CM10 roms available which operate the phone's hardware to its technical edge. It is a miracle that even with much tweaking we are able to run CM10 decently.

After trying all the roms that are available for the past 2 years I can say that three standout:

1. Latest CM10 with zepelinrox script and all the tweaks that are mentioned in the other thread. It is not fast, but it is usable and basic multitasking is working

2. The last version of CM7 before the activation of the second boot. It gives a descent gingerbread experience and with zeppelinrox script it is usable. My personal opinion is that newer versions are not so snappy and are on par in performance with CM10, so why not go there to begin with.

3. Telus lite...well it is just eclair, and I flashed it about 2 weeks ago since I am waiting my new mobile phone to arrive. Everything goes as fast as you'd expect a galaxy s4 go with current version of android and you get multitasking. With a couple of mods and appz you can get almost everything working and be close to features of current versions. I have not made a single reboot 2 weeks now and there is no sign of laggyness. Probably going full circle with this phone...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
Is there any way to check if any work on our milestones will ever be done?

Maybe it is end of our CM experience with milestone :)

I would like to hear it from the developers :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cronot:
If the logs on the Milestone IRC channel is any indication, I don't think we're going to see any new developments for the Milestone. The main devs (nadlabak and Skrilax_CZ) have moved on to another device (Motorola Photon Q). I have changed devices twice myself ever since I've stopped using the 'stone as my main phone, a couple years ago (I still keep it as my personal development testing device). They'd probably fix any critical bug that would pop up, but there's none of that sort at this time, so other than that, I don't think they're touching it anymore.

There's nothing left to do on it anyway, if you think about it: the most glaring bugs on the Milestone (on OR or CM) have been fixed; the last barrier, the locked kernel, has been broken with 2nd boot; CM7 upstream development is pretty much done too, nothing is happening there either; and as for CM9 and CM10 on the Milestone, I consider them more of a proof-of-concept kludge than daily drivers (I wonder if those people using CM10 / CM9 on the Milestone and thinking it's good, have ever used CM9/10 on a phone that can actually handle it). So there isn't really anything going on that would justify an update - I think the Milestone is done, just stuff CM7 into it and let it fade away gracefully.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
Has anyone ever cracked a Milestone screen? Its indestructible!

End of an era...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
the problem is that there is a performance issue on the couple latest builds of CM7 and I am wondering if they can fix those.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
I think nobody will answer you in a positive way. Since we have the 2ndBoot, CM7 is known less performance. If you want a performance CM7 you should apply a ROM without 2ndBoot (something like the .c if I remember well).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hanschke:
I think I found the mistake about the not starting the updates from the store. I have moved apps to the sd card to get more space and the download start but not end.

I think the intern space is damaged but how can I force the store to load to the sd card?

[€dit]

I found this manual:

Der Speicherort von Play Store ist /cache/download

1.) neustarten

2.) Terminal Editor (root muss vorhanden sein) oder ähnliches öffnen, dann:

umount /cache/download (deswegen neu starten, damit keine anwendung das benutzt)

cd /cache

mv download download-old

cd /sdcard

mkdir cache-download (Name ist egal)

cd /cache

ln -s /sdcard/cache-download download

3.) neustarten (eventuell Dateien in /cache/download-old löschen)

4.) fertig!

but terminal told me that unmount is an unknown command.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Tiago Costa:
Did you type "umount" or "unmount"? Maybe you are mispelling the command.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hanschke:
thats right typo mistake :o but after reboot it dont work.

now i got a permission denied error.

can anyone please told me the file i have to edit. i think it is a txt file maybe? It start download until 67% but a break happen and nothing more
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Tiago Costa:
Did you type "su" before other commands? Did you set the correct permissions with chmod? You can copy the permissions of old directory.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
Can any body provide me a detailed description how to downgrade to the ROM without 2ndBoot I am on 7.2.4c (2.3.7).

The best way would be the "step by step" :)

Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Maniaccc:
Just update CM7.2.2 via openrecovery. I did it yesterday :).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
I did it thx :)

That's a little bit bitter to downgrade from 7.2.4 to 7.2.2 :( however, I think that experience gathered by DEV team to squeeze the maximum from old milestone will help optimize newer phones.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] muro18:
Hi,after about 6 months on cm9,I came back to cm7.Ice cream is very beautifull but I want more speed and cm7 is a lot faster and usable than cm9.I have only a great regret on it.The quality of sound in the music player.To listen to music on cm9 was wonderfull,both by using headphones and the speaker,on the cm7 I cannot obtain a similar quality.Is there a way to have more quality and power in sound,by settings or by external apps? thanks to all
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] babaq:
I am glad that there are still people who does something for my phone... I simply think that Milestone is an excellent phone (for my needs) and I think it is great that although Motorola doesn't care about their customers, I can still uses that phone... I will probably move some of my mobile activities to a tablet to make my Milestone not too heavy loaded with applications and use it for its main purpose, as a phone and for messaging (using physical keyboard, I can write as fast as a ... well, something really fast :))

I use the latest CM7 but if you guys suggest that CM10 performance is similar to the latest CM7 version(s), I may eventually try CM10 as soon as I start using tablet for some tasks... let's see.

And once more, thanks, kabaldan, for all your time, I know that time is "free" but it can also be the most precious of our possessions.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
Hi guys,

My sister would like to use my Milestone that I forgot some tims in a drawer ^^ It is a long time since I haven't fully followed all Milestone's threads, don't blame me if it is said like 15 or 20 pages ago : but where can I find a CM7 version WITHOUT 2ndBoot?

Thanks guys, take care of your McGyver phone :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sfahadzb:
https://github.com/downloads/nadlabak/android/cm-7.2.2-umts_sholes.zip .. right from the OP
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
Then if it's the latest CM7 without 2ndBoot please blame me. I'm fighting against that kind of behavior: asking for something in the OP. Oh my.. I'm so ashamed. I've lost all my credibility.

Thanks for your "help", I should have red the OP like anyone should.

EDIT:

Infact, I was wrong twice in a row. Ahah.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cronot:
Actually, no. It's 7.2.2. Look into the github download page:

"custom kernel" is the ticker: That uses 2ndboot. So go with 7.2.2.

On that note, I don't get why 2ndboot versions of CM get a bad rap here. They work fine for me, it just gets a bit laggy after a full day running, so I have a reboot schedule for it every day; but the CM versions with stock kernel also tend to get laggy after some time, they just take a bit longer than the 2ndboot versions to require a reboot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
Humm.. Yes, I don't get it too, but I'm looking for the most stable CM7 and I red that with 2ndBoot you need to reboot once in two days as you said (even less days). It is just about lagginess, my sister is 14 and I'm sure she doesn't want to be bothered with lagginess or reboot every days. I'll test with her both versions and we'll see the one she wants since in two weeks it's summer holiday :)

Maybe the second boot isn't really popular because of its youth and some are thinking that it was stopped at the beginning of its development. Can't explain but I know that I felt a difference between CM10 with and without 2ndBoot: good for heavy programs but horrible for multi tasking (2 apps and it kills all applications etc..)

Have a nice day,
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] walker666:
You can set automatic (scheduled) reboot at some time of day (prefferably at 2:30AM when your sister sleeps) with SManager (Script Manager).

Create script with some editor (you can do that with script manager) like this:

#!/system/bin/sh

reboot

Set it as script and set "su" rights, schedule it at desired time. :)

Also try it first in a way that you schedule it in near future, if phone reboots, you did it right.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andoruB:
Seemingly my phone cannot boot any more. I've tried wiping the data partition to freshly reinstall 7.2.4f (as previously I would just update with each new version of the rom over the old files), backed up before as well. Before I would Apply the update on the gapps in the ROM, I wanted to check if everything is working properly. It did so I decided to reboot into recovery mode again. It did so, the 2ndboot logo showed up but it was surprisingly brief compared to other times, the OR loading screen showed up, after the yellow bar filled, the phone rebooted, no 2ndboot logo anymore, just straight into the OR loading screen, loads and then it restarts again, going like this in a constant loop. I've tried pulling out the battery and leave it out for more than an hour but it seems it doesn't fix it. Now whenever I start the phone it goes into the loop. Is there anything I can do right now to fix this annoying problem? I would suppose the ultimate fix would be to flash with the stock Milestone ROM, but I wanted to know if there's anything else that can be done.

EDIT: NVM, works now as I've took out the SD card and booted like that. Haven't tried booing from the OS directly in the recovery again, but will report if it does the same thing again.

EDIT2: Works now as it should, maybe it was just a small quirk in the bootloader.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hanschke:
I try it today again with su before and after the phone is restarted it dont use the sd card :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cronot:
Or just use this. It's what I use on my Milestone. Never have to worry about rebooting it manually, so the phone is always snappy, just set it to reboot at like 5am and you're done.

Well, I've said it many times: I don't think CM10 for the Milestone was ever meant to be used as a stable, "daily driver" ROM, it was just an experiment, an exercise. People can't expect it to behave stable and consistent across builds - back when CM10 for the Milestone was being developed, there was heavy upstream development going on on CM10 too, so you can't even be sure that the inconsistency across versions can be blamed on 2ndboot (though I agree it's very likely that it may be at least partially at fault). But the point is, you can't expect consistency from something that because: 1) it's too heavy to work/wasn't designed to work on the MM on the first place; 2) it had heavy development both upstream and downstream; 3) it's plainly stated as alpha-quality ROM right on the topic.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andoruB:
Has anyone had this issue before? Whenever I plug in my headphones, the music player goes haywire, playing intermittently on and off music randomly, and can't be stopped unless I'm not moving. I know this is caused by the crap jack output of the phone, as whenever I move slightly, the audio either crackles, or one channel (usually left) drops. I think the problem is with the fact that the phone resumes playing music whenever I insert the headphones in, and I know there was an option in the Sound settings to disable this, but I can't seem to find it (looked everywhere in the settings), so can someone guide me on what to do? In the previous instances I would've just remove the stock music app and it would stop doing this, but now I'm unsure what to do.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hanschke:
download to sd card work now but no download will be finisehed. the task begin to start and after a few seconds it stopped :crying:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] extrem0:
I think it depends on the app you are using. Poweramp has an option to choose to stop music after headset/bluetooth disconnection. I'd suggest you to try changing your headset or buy a bluetooth one. Even if you change this settings, you'll have the same issue as your phone will be routing audio to earphone and when it "disconnects" it'll route to speakers. A bluetooth earphones will definitely fit your needs.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andoruB:
I know for certain that the problem is not the headphones themselves, but the badly soldered jack audio output of the phone. If there's no other solution, I'll just remove the stock music player from OR ^^
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
Well, there is at least one more solution: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts

You can use this app to stop apps from receiving certain events.

Scroll to "Media Button Pressed" and disable the stock music player - now it won't catch this event anymore.

That's how I solved it.

Sir, how did you flash this rom in your phone, its not working on mine, im using stock rom now, pls help
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thedoginthewok:
This is not for the XT720.

This is for the Motorola Milestone also known as Motorola A853. This is the first version of the Milestone which was sold as Motorola Droid in the US (with CDMA radio, so it's technically a different phone).

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ShinG0:

I'm also going to give away my Milestone to my bro as a gift, cuz I'm planing to move to Samsung Galaxy S3, I like it more than S4, because the camera POV angle while recording 1080p videos is wider on S3 , compared to S4 and the quality is almost the same.

Cheers all :)

Thank you for the help my friend.

can u help me out with this.

I installed the .zip file of cm7 .

so i need to extract these files and place it in the Open Recovery > adbrecovery > updates> test-unsigned.zip folder right ?

Coz thats the way it had worked for froyo mod.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DomCowell:
It should simply be: Open Recovery > updates - whatever the zip is called.

Then when on open recovery, wipe everything as normal. Then go: Apply Updates, and apply that zip :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] virus_spreade121:
Well the CM7 file is in a zip and there is a test-update-nosign.zip file in openrecovery>updates as well. Which means I need to extract the files from cm7.zip and place it in testupdate.zip or should I move the entire cm7.zip in the testupdate.zip folder?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] k1l:
you can put as many *.zips there as you want.

dont think too much, its no rocket-sience :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] virus_spreade121:
So basically u mean cm7.zip is going just under the updates folder and not into the >updates>test-update-nosign.zip archive right?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
What advancetage if you made a linux swap partition?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
Creating xt2 partition is just preparation work. You need to apply the app2ext zip file thru OR to have this function on your device.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brysonwong:
Do i need to full wipe my phone first before applying app2ext?

Thanks for helping me out bro! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
Usually I flash new ROM together with app2ext if the ROM doesn't support that function.

I think full wipe is not needed for just applying app2ext.

Please correct me if it's not right as I just start flashing custom ROM about 2 weeks ago so I'm still new to this :)
