Yh, and ur gapps.zip should be called gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip and have around 4.7mb (just to make sure that you are flashing good .zip...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Yup I experienced bad battery life too!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Marcb:
that's the point... the Market isn't there...

i've flashed this one: http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip

it's from the link in the first post... the CyanogenMod 7 version
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Hmm must be a new one. I'm using the old one...

Gonna try it now.

Weird...I flashed it over an older update. Market is updated to 2.3.4, but I don't see Books application. It is in settings, so its installed, but not in app drawer... It is around 700kb...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheKawa:
I just installed GO EX, wow its so much better than LP..

no redraws so far!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
I usually do a full wipe before flashing new ROM. I just know the very simple way as below:

full wipe -> flash ROM -> gapps -> reboot

Once it boots up the market is there. And yes I use the latest gapps (20110307).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Do you see Books app in your drawer :S ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Guilty as charged, your honor.

I use ondemand, smartass and conservative... sometimes performance (you know... just for benchmarking) ;) :p

I'm testing out the beta features and I'm trying to convince the author to add the feature to disable data when connected to wifi.

That way, I don't need to use an app like juice defender.

That yellow MD is Mobile Data but in pulse mode (I set it to 1 minute on, 10 minutes off)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] marcelotorres:
I'm using 11.03.09 rom and haven't get any reboot since i flash the rom. This is the most stable Ginger rom ever.

Thanks Kabaldan!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
Flashed the newest CM7 build today after holding off for a while (CM6 was working fine for me). Getting a lot more redraws with LPP even after putting all the settings back to how they were in CM6 (40M heap, lock Home in memory, LPP settings the same as before).

Anything I can try to help this? Even getting into the widget picker causes LPP to be dumped from memory. Have tried Auto Memory Manager with the settings zeppelin mentioned earlier in the thread but they made no difference.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheKawa:
I had many redrwas too (LP), so I installed GO Launcher.

works great so far, much better then LP
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
I'd really prefer to stick with LPP if at all possible just for the Facebook/Twitter widget. The Facebook app just crashes way too often to be usable for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Well if you are missing those widgets, try Colorize Widgets as a replacement. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
I cant see it from appdrawer but I do see it from titanium backup and AOR (yes I change to AOR now)...kinda strange

I recall that I saw it in appdrawer with RC3 11-03-09 update but not with 11-03-12 update
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Use AMM to keep it alive
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jonatasmz:
Auto memory manager??

how can I set that?

Cya
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
I'll check out Colorize Widgets once I get Go Launcher EX working. At the moment it's struggling to add widgets because the launcher crashes in the background while the widget picker is open.

I also can't seem to get the media controls in CM7 (either via notification power widget or volume keys) to influence Poweramp. It would only affect the stock music app, and now that I've uninstalled the stock music player the media controls do nothing.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
How do I do this? In AMM I can only find running processes that aren't the launcher.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Autokiller Memory Optimizer from the market. Change the settings to 6,10,30,40,50,60 apply and reboot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Sorry, I forgot that launcher is lumped together with other items as android.process.acore

You can check process details to be sure.

Increase that item's priority
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude:
I have the same problem with Launcher Pro having more redraws then ever before (even after turning off surface dithering). I just installed AMM and set it at 6,10,30,40,50,60 so I'll let everyone know how it works.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] debasser:
yeah

i'm using all manuals on this forum

but no result....=(

CM reboot when plug into USB

I'm having constant reboots with the new CM7 version (03.12) when I connect the phone through USB. And it goes directly to CM7 boot logo, doesn't show the M logo.

I had changed the minfree values, so I put back the default values (6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32), rebooted, plugged the usb cable and still same problem. Attached is the logcat. Anyone having the same issue?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] firez_hn:
How some of you are setting up the VM size at 40M or 48M? I ask because the settings under the perfomance section max at 32M, I tried to set it via AOR but that method seems to be working only with froyo or eclair
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I'm pretty sure enabling JIT helps as well. Disabling it is just crazy talk ;)

btw, those with redraw problems, how much free memory do you usually have?

It should be sitting at about 35 mb on average if you're using my suggested AMM settings, yes?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12015784&postcount=1550
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] firez_hn:
Thanks :)

I suppose I need to use adb to do this, right?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ngonchan:
You can use RootExplorer to edit /system/build.prop (or /data/property/persist.sys.vm.heapsize if you changed VM heap size via CM setting before, as kabaldan said) to change VM size.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] firez_hn:
Thanks, that was easier than I thought

To enable books apps from latest gapps, open titanium backup, choose books apps then choose defrost, then books will available in app drawer.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I placed MIUI camera and music player in my system/app, gave them appropriate permissions, rebooted, and couldn't find them in my app drawer.

As such, I preceeded in deleting them. I just noticed earlier that I have miui.camera and miui.player crossed out in my titanium backup app list. Thing is, I can't do anything to them (no uninstall, no delete, no nothing). Anyone know how I can remove those names from TB?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I have same problem with english miui camera. So I tried the Chinese version and it works.

This was how I did it:

Step 1

Launch Root Explorer and navigate to the location where u had copied the chinese miui camera apk.

Step 2

Copy that apk to system/app folder (remember to press that Mount r/w button)

Step 3

Long press on that miui camera apk and select Permission and change it to follow the rest (rw-r--r--)

Step 4

Now while still in the system/app folder, tap once on the miui camera apk file and it will ask u if u want to install it. Select OK and it should be installed.

RC3 (0.07-11.03.12) Overnight Battery Drain Test Report

RC3 (0.07-11.03.12) Overnight Battery Drain Test Report

Condition:

- APN/Data turned on

- Data connection set to use 2G

- Data auto-sync turned on

- GTalk turned on

- Google Contact and Calendar already synced

- Phone is bare (No apps and widgets)

- No Facebook installed/sync

- Upon unplugged, battery charged state was 100% (4164mV)

Test results:

As you can see from the screen shot below, the drain is 10% at the 6 hours 40 minutes mark.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Kind of similar to your setup, my battery was still 100% after 7 hours. I never check the mV though. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Maybe u managed to cramp in an extra 10 or more mV into your battery b4 u unplugged. I was getting sleepy already.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -SAIUN-:
Alright, I managed to get PowerAmp to respond to the media controls. You have to enable Headset controls in the Settings.

Most other things have smoothed themselves out, just needed 4-5 reboots. Zeppelin's AMM settings are working alright for me now, LPP is behaving more or less as it did in CM6.

Only problem now is that Snesoid, Gameboid, Gensoid and PSX4Droid no longer work at all. They attempt to load a ROM and then go back to the list of ROMs after a few seconds at a black screen. Nesoid still works perfectly. Has anyone else had this issue and found a fix? I'm about to try uninstalling/reinstalling them.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Were Snesoid, Gameboid, Gensoid and PSX4Droid working before the AMM tweaks?

I modified my AMM settings slightly..

I changed the 3rd number to 24 and at the same time, I found a way to have a bulletproof launcher....

I don't think that it will ever get killed again lol

Be ready to be happy...

By default each time u flash a new rom, it needs you to sign in at least once. Then it will remember to auto-sign in the new time you reboot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Somebody else had that issue too.

I'm not sure, but I think that it was a language setting that needed to be changed and then it was fixed.

Do u noticed that when the battery is fully charged while still plugged in to the charger that it shows 4200mV and when u unplugged it, it drops to anywhere between 4113mV to 4178mV?

4090mV is actually close to the border of the 90% battery mark as u can see from the screenshot below that at 4054mV it is already 90%

So what I will do is unplug and see how much it drops, then plug back in for awhile and unplug again to see if the mV has gone up or not.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Strange.. I actually posted in there with tapatalk earlier...

btw, how long does your battery usually last?

The phone losses the most power from apps or widgets that runs in the background accessing the internet. Each time it uses your data connection, it drains more power than the cpu (see screenshot below).

Bump charging

Just to share with those who missed my posting in other threads.

Step 1:

Boot up your phone normally and charge your phone as how you would normally do until it says "charged".

Step 2:

Once your phone charging status says "charged", unplug the wall socket cable from the phone. Shut the phone off.

Step 3:

While the phone is still off, plug back in the wall charger cable. Switch on the power of the wall charger.

Step 4:

You should then see the M logo for a while and then it shows the 100% green battery icon in the middle of the screen.

Step 5:

Open the battery cover and pull out the battery and wait for awhile until you see the "?" icon in the middle of the LCD screen.

Step 6:

Put the battery back in.

Step 7:

If your battery is OK (properly calibrated) then it would show 100%. If it is not properly calibrated, then it would show 60% and it will continue to charge your battery until 100%.

Step 8:

Once your battery has reached 100% (while phone is still off), leave it there to charge for another 15 minutes or until the battery is no longer hot. When the battery is cool to the touch, it means the charger has stopped charging the battery.

Step 9:

Unplug the charging cable and do the "3 finger boot" (x button + camera button + power button) to boot into recovery and flash the new ROM.

Doing so will calibrate the new ROM to the current state of the battery as 100% charged.

3G drains the most power not cpu

The phone's CPU does not run at maximum clock speed all the time. It only ramps up to maximum clock speed when needed. As you can see from the screenshot below, there are spikes and most of the time it remains in the lower region.

As u can see in the following screenshot of PowerTutor, 3G uses the most power followed by the LCD screen. GPS is also another battery drainer.

I do not use Auto-brightness as it uses more battery. Instead, I manually reduce my LCD brightness down to around 10 to 12% brightness.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
NO, this is minus 1 = - 1 !!! It's different, and zeppelin tested it! (running services)

Look up his thread in Droid & Milestone General :p
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
I'm not using 3g, gps or auto brightness (Im at minimal most of time), but still not impressed with battery life... :@
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Then go flash RC2 instead. Me and a few others here found that RC2 gave the best battery life. I can go about my day on RC2 for 12 hours and still have 80% battery left.

Then when the first RC3 update came, I tried it and was shocked that it dropped to 30% level by 10 hours.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Question about AMM. Is there any way to change those settings in Root Explorer(like we do with vm heapsize), so AMM wouldn't be needed anymore. AMM uses some RAM too, and everything would be faster when we could just change to these settings(like 6,10,30,40,50,60) using RE, and they will be "cooked" in ROM :D. This will free up some RAM and phone memory :) but can it be done?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] carthikv12:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
:cool: Thanks for confirming this :)

But....

Yeah... what he said ;)

AMM shouldn't be running at all if you disable the "task killing" aspect of it. On my phone, it just changes the memfree file on boot and closes.

But yes, you can do what AOR's memory manager does by editing /system/etc/init.d/99complete

I see you already saw my reply in the other thread so I'll reply to the other questions over there.

Boot up your phone normally and charge your phone as how you would normally do until it says "charged".

Step 2:

Once your phone charging status says "charged", unplug the wall socket cable from the phone. Shut the phone off.

Step 6:

Put the battery back in.

Step 7:

If your battery is OK (properly calibrated) then it would show 100%. If it is not properly calibrated, then it would show 60% and it will continue to charge your battery until 100%.

Step 8:

Once your battery has reached 100% (while phone is still off), leave it there to charge for another 15 minutes or until the battery is no longer hot. When the battery is cool to the touch, it means the charger has stopped charging the battery.
