[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Just a notice: I've discovered possible suspend issue related to error recovery scheduled by dsifix module. It can result in dss (display subsystem) power domain not reaching the suspend state -> battery drain during idle time.

Until proper resolution is found, I recommend to stick with the old workaround.

Add this line to /system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc (e.g. to line 270):

write /sys/devices/omapdss/display0/update_mode 1

I'm working on a fix, but it may take some time, omap kernel power management is rather complicated and our options are limited (you know, the signature checking ;) ... I'd so much love to run my own kernel compile, but... yep, old story)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
Workaround applied. Will monitor battery drain.

Tks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
So what your saying kabaldan is that battery life will be even better once the dsi workaround is fixed? :O
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
I've found a fantastic workaround to avoid battery draining, at least very useful in the night... only 1% battery consumed in 8 hours with phone offline.

It's really, really simple. Before going to bed, open DeskClock and turn off LCD. When you wake up and press a button on the phone, you will see a big difference in the battery level.

Now I'm quite sure that is the launcher that drain power in the night

I use GoLauncherEx, not ADW, and I always lose about 20% battery draining every night with phone offline and no opened apps. Now only 1%.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abaddon:
how do I do this please? :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tegezan:
yep, go launcher ex is the true battery eater..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] percival_74:
Done! I will check it out later.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jarlaxlebaenre:
Which version of CrystalTalk are you using? Chinese Fancyfix for RC11?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Charles_l:
I think I have discovered another bug cased by the dsifix, it is about the touch-focus.

before I removed the dsifix module, the touch-focus is not so sensitive, I have to press repeatedly on the screen to get the camera focusing, now without the dsifix, touch-focus works normally, it takes one touch to get focusing.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abaddon:
yes that one for rc11. its my first time trying crystaltalk and I dont know if it works or not though
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Did downloadman actually said that he is getting better battery life WITH or WITHOUT GoLauncher? confused :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Charles_l:
After the installation, you should see the crystaltalk option in "Settings -> call setting -> crystaltalk".

if yes, it already works. Just make a call to your firend on the street and ask him whether the quality of your voice is better.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tegezan:
ups.. my bad..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abaddon:
CrystalTalk does work ha ha! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grimpy:
He said that GoLaucnher eats alot of battery but as workaround he opens the DeskClock when putting the phone to sleep making the launcher not the active app which apparently decreases the battery drainage
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vesparados150:
you can check zeppelinrox's thread on how to bulletproof an app..=)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
This is exactly what I mean.

EDIT: 500 pages!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vesparados150:
I would like to set the cpu clock speed differently & governor values according to the screenstate(on,off).."Screenstate_scaling" by using a init.d script.unfortunately, the build in cm7 cpu settings intefers wwith the process(?)..

any advice?

downlaodman: if only theres a "like" button...=)...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Oh okay! :) Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abaddon:
I'm getting fc everytime with the new market.

any help pleaae?placed the Vendor.apk on systam/app then permissions set to -rw -r -r and still no joy
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tegezan:
why you need to replace vending on system/app..? dont touch that vending.apk..

Just go to setting - app - manage app - downloaded - market, clear cache and data then uninstall updates..

download newest market from here, install via file manager from your phone..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jarlaxlebaenre:
Ok, seems that since RC11 battery life is much shorter but the most annoying thing is when I pick up Moto from docking station. Whenever I do that after full charging the battery is already at 99% (although while connected it shows me full 100% charge). 2G only, wifi disabled, nothing running in the background, auto brightness on. It doesn't take longer than 1-2 seconds. Fortunately, it doesn't go down so fast later on, but it still is a problem. Anyone experienced that?

BTW, 500 pages is really something. Thanks for all Your work kabaldan.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] AirLancer:
I agree on battery life with RC11. Fortunately, RC12 is much better when it comes to battery life-at least for me. If you wanna give it a try, you can download it here:

https://github.com/nadlabak/android/downloads#download_112712.

Here's the change log:

http://android.doshaska.net/cm7

But I cant help you with the 99% issue.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Charles_l:
the 99% battery issue is normal, or you can disable the 1% step battery number display in "CM settings -> tweak notification bar", it will return to 10% step battery.

anyway, the battery is full charged.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jarlaxlebaenre:
I've already updated to RC12 as soon as it was released. Battery life was much better than RC11, but still not as good as RC10 and 99% issue remained. BTW, I can't really find a good use to 5-point multitouch ;P.

Shame, I actually got used to 1% steps. I've tried rebooting, fully charging from under 5%, removing battery and so on, but nothing helped.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Ah I see. So letting DeskClock run then putting the phone to sleep .... =)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Al-e-xa:
I know how to install a custom rom, but I'm having some problems with installing CM7. I do the same things that you do with every other rom, but after installation of CM my phone goes to bootloader.:confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tegezan:
how about flashing froyo sbf via rsd lite..? then vulnerable recovery etc again..?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Al-e-xa:
So, first i flash it with GOT 2.2.1 then vunerable recovery? :D And then i apply the CM update? :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Yes, you're right.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
strange issue is happening now, timestamp on sms incoming messages is 2 hours before the normal one! :cool:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] spineforu82:
Hopefully we will be getting the RC1 version soon....:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] max_3000:
@kabaldan: Three questions:

1. Is this rom as good as CM6 for daily use as the main ROM?

2. Do we get all the API benifits (like better GPU integration) of 2.3 Gingerbread even with the current 2.2 kernel?

3. When will the DSPmanager be back? It's very important since I use the graphic EQ to make audio sounds better.

Thanks :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Menelkir:
You're right, there's no second kernel, vulnerable recovery is to load a unsigned update.zip (so we can use OR, for example).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
Again... AFAIK...

And you guys are missing this important note

"the bootloader itself might not be crackable, but i think people here are definitely actively working on a workaround consisting in booting a second kernel through kexec"

This is exactly what happens....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Menelkir:
This is not happens today, radio doesn't work with 2ndboot, as you can see in here , yakk and dimichxp have some problems with baseband when loading a new kernel with kexec. Maybe will be useful to a wifi-only tablet with encrypted bootloader (xoom perhaps).

Btw, the main reason of vulnerable recovery isn't loading a second kernel, the main reason is making our phones able to load an unsigned update (and all the magic of custom roms start at this point).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
So maybe you can help me out with my questions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11354144#post11354144

I don't have any knowledge as to what needs tweaking or customizing on the system side to get a custom ROM working on a device. So I understand now that using the default/manufacturers kernel is fine, but what do I need to do to use the custom ROM?

I'm just unsure where to start.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] msaraiva:
I have a weird bug with my CM7 install...no matter if i set the display backlight to auto or set it manually, touchkeys do not lit, neither do keyboard backlight work. It only works if i adjust the slider, but if the display turns off and i turn it on again, backlight does not work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Menelkir:
Every phone has a custom method to do that, Im pretty sure that LG is different from Milestone. You can try look to some custom rom for this phone and learn how it works.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
No. It MAY work...but when switching ROMs it is always advisable to do a full wipe. It is usually not necessary when upgrading the same rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] promixer:
Hello

I installed CM7, and i have no market instaled? So now i installed the newest version and when i click on it, always go out, so i cant get on market?

And with GPS, i change files, made permissions, install navigation program, and when i open it, program crashes.. Plz help here..

I love this rome, its very sexy, but im using GPS a lot of my time and only this is my problem on this ROM =) I tried again wipe data and same again :S

Peace
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afein:
look for the download link for the google apps for cm7 in the first post, download and install it -- this should fix your issue.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] promixer:
Hey, tnx for help. I flash apps, now works.

But my navigation still force close... whats for that reason?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 5nickers:
If you are using navigon navigating,you must know its not compatible with gingerbread. They will fix it in a few weeks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
Is anybody else having issues with 3rd party video players (like arcMedia, Rockplayer)?? For me there's no way they'll work, not even to playback videos recorded with the phone camera. The stock video player works perfectly but I use the others a lot to play different video formats. Any similar experiences? Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Do you mean look at a custom ROM for the LG to see how it works? Cause that's kinda the issue, there are zero custom ROMs. Mine would be the first. I'm willing to learn and try but I just need a bit of guidance to get started.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Just a heads up: CM7 RC1 release is out! Quite a few fixes :)

https://github.com/nadlabak
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
That was fast. Thanks! Downloading now :D is there a changelog?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Orangestrat:
I don't know if this is specific to this ROM or just something stupid I did, but I can't find any of my media on my SD card with the gallery and music apps.

Its all there, i can see it if I plug into my computer or use the file manager(I can even play songs through file manager, they work); but the music app shows nothing and the gallery says "there are no items in your collection."

Does anyone know how to get the phone to find it all without doing something silly like a factory reset?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Chad_Petree:
nop , if i dont have signal it finds signal i i reboot the phone or put it in airplane mode, but the speed doesnt get better, its weird the voice/ 2g/3g icons appear but in grey, and the peed is slooooow :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tegezan:
yup some kind like that.. you can use got 2.2.1 or one of froyo official from http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone221

and maybe you need fresh open recovery to replace your previous OR (ex. androidiani 3.3 open recovery) after applying vulnerable recovery..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
I forgot to wipe cache and dalvik cache before applying RC12 update (had RC11). 5pt Multitouch isn't working (trying piano app), still 2 points. Could it be because I forgot to wipe?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] AirLancer:
I'm having troubles with booting after being stuck in bootloader since RC11 as well. What has worked for me so far:

trying to apply update several times:D

If it did not work after 3rd time (happened to me), try applying update and right after that update Google Apps.

Thats what worked for me so far-not sure if its healthy though :confused:

The main difference after applying gapps was that it booted in OR instead of just waiting at bootloader (Volume up+camera button will get you in OR from there). As soon as I get there, the next reboot boots normally.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nacloud:
Is there a way to disable the DSI-fix kernel module?

I want to try the ROM without this and the DSI workaround.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grimpy:
Just remove the module located at /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko

You can either use rootexplorer (easiest) or recovery console "rm /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko" or another zillion ways :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kv1dr:
Hi everyone!

How can I get source code of CyanogenMod7 for Milestone only? :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
Was in the first post.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kv1dr:
Yes, I know this. But this also downloads the sourcecode of CM7 for all other devices, but I want to download it only for Milestone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adamz667:
You need to download source code for Android 2.3 + some parts of other devices (~8GB) to build CM7 for MM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kv1dr:
Oh, ok...thank you then
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abaddon:
one question, what's the DSI fix for?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wlh03212:
I am using Dolphin browser on milestone and sometimes loading of webpages take forever even i am on wifi connection. =( is it normal?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
How about using another browser to test?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wlh03212:
The same thing happens
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
What if you are on 3G network instead?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Bump?

Should I clear cache and dalvik cache and apply the update again?

EDIT: hmmm, just checked the piano app again and 4pt touch seems to be working...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grimpy:
DSI stands for "Display serial interface" and some people have rare errors with it making the kernel crash there was a workaround to decreased some performance in the display scrolling and then there was a fix by monkey patching the kernel source via a module... Altough latest new from nadlabak says this module drains a bit for battery (if i understood it correct)

For myself i never had a single crash on my Milestone related to DSI so i removed the module and disabled to workaround (yes i am lucky)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kv1dr:
With the latest update(11.07.14), the multitouch now works with 5 touches. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rotundjere:
really ? that's very cool :p
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abaddon:
thanks. a very good explanation :)

so If I disable the module, what could possibly go wrong? :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] AirLancer:
Most commonly were random reboots caused by a DSI error. I don't know if there are any other problems.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abaddon:
got it. thanks :) +1
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Any idea why suddenly out of the blue, my messages that comes in do not get any notification sounds? :( like it was fine then suddenly not working till i have to reboot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xanthrax:
does this rom works on wildfire buzz CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC12 11.07.14 Android 2.3.4 ? i mean ... is this rom for wildfire ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kv1dr:
No, this ROM is only for Motorola Milestione and won't work on any other device.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
Motorola Droid and Milestone > Motorola Milestone Android Development > [ROM] CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC11 11.07.10 (Android 2.3.4)

;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Happened to me when I applied adblock from openrecovery.

If you did that, download "AdFree" from Market and update hosts to solve the problem.

I prefer less battery and no DSI errors... in CM6 I never experienced random reboots, but on CM7, since the real fix I had 3-4 reboots each day. And the workaround was terrible. I hope Kabaldan will fix battery drain, I'm sure he will make another miracle for our phones.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
Hi all,

After upgrade to RC12 my ring tones stops working? Has anyone experienced anything like that?

Is there a WA or sth? Would it be corrected.

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Any idea why suddenly out of the blue, my messages that comes in do not get any notification sounds? like it was fine then suddenly not working till i have to reboot.

and also .. some of the descriptions in the Market appears to be in Japanese language, weird. What is wrong?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
LOL...me too! Maybe our Milestones came from the same factory or share the same components or made in the same batch.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
:D

If you do not suffer from DSI errors at all, it may mean only:

- your phone is always connected to usb

- you do not check your dmesg/kernel log :)

- you're really happy as the display freezes are always very short in the case of your particular phone

Anyway, here is the new DSI-fix v2 kernel module, please test it and report (direct link to pre-compiled module):

https://github.com/nadlabak/android...4982f9078aac0b/prebuilt/lib/modules/dsifix.ko

The actual commit (including the kernel module source):

https://github.com/nadlabak/android...mmit/fcbb8de07898445a0ae7766c7e4982f9078aac0b

Even people that do not directly suffer from DSI errors in real life phone usage can benefit from it, as it actually optimizes the DSS driver workings.

mine's set to english too. it's pretty annoying :|
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tegezan:
same here with miui.. market problem im sure.. just google and same other devices hv same problem..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jarlaxlebaenre:
I've had a similar problem (market set to english, german description showing up), but after a few days problem was gone. Try clearing market's cache or reinstalling new update.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
I have the same problem!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abaddon:
anyone can help me how to use the new dsi fix?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
I did clear cache/data but still not English. =l

Which? I described two problems. You have both?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mike-08:
After a hardware repair, where most of my phone was replaced, I did not see any obvious DSI errors anymore (I did not look at the logs though).

Anyway, I've now loaded the new module and will pay closer attention.

Thanks for your continued support!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abaddon:
I wanna try it but dont know how though.

can you help me how? :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mike-08:
Sure. There are millions of ways to do so. I did the following: You donwload the file to your phone's SD-Card and reboot to recovery.

There you go to console and copy the downloaded file to /system/lib/modules.

It probably also works with via adb push, but I had no USB cable.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abaddon:
Thanks.will try it now :)

edit:whoops! which file? Im confused. could you point the direct download? :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jarlaxlebaenre:
On a different note, anyone tried Firefox 5.0 on CM? I know Mozilla doesn't officially support Moto Milestone but nevertheless I thought it's worth a try. And believe me, in my case it is NOT. That was one laggy browser and in a few minutes it occupied almost 90MB of my phone memory.

Has anyone actually been satisfied with it (maybe it was just my case)?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moviecut:
wow, thanks once again for your great support! i will try the new fix and report back. donation is on the way, if one deserve it, its you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Subbie171:
Actually firefox mobile is pretty terrible, not only on the milestone. No flash support, many keyboards don't work right with it, crash-prone, memory hogger, sluggish as hell etc etc

Mozilla really missed the boat on this one.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Subbie171:
Download link (ver 2.1)https://raw.github.com/nadlabak/and...67847c6f80a2e1/prebuilt/lib/modules/dsifix.ko

Quick guide:

Let's say you downloaded the file using your browser on the phone to /sdcard/Download (the default location). After that you go into recovery, pick console and type these commands:

rm /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko

cp /sdcard/Download/dsifix.ko /system/lib/modules/

chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/dsifix.ko

exit

Now reboot

That's it
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Installed the new dsifix 6 hours ago, now battery usage is decreased a lot. Will test better this night and post results.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Here is the - hopefully - final version of DSI-fix. 'Received error during frametransfer' happening with v2 should be fixed now.

DSI-fix v2.1

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nacloud:
Really quick question.

Why when I click the download link for the dsifix it opens and show a bunch of stuff there instead of download the file?

Should I copy that stuff and save it as a .ko or something?

EDIT: Never mind I think I havent sleep well theses days....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ngonchan:
Right click on the link and choose "Save link as .." to save the .ko file ;)
