[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
ShinG0: thanks for the logs.

Yes, it has been confirmed now that when the 'Experimental' libaudio (Device settings) is enabled, some users may still occasionally experience the BP panic on incoming calls. So the binary libaudio patch (new to 7.2.4f) to the alternative/experimental 'beepless call recording' libaudio has not fixed this issue, unfortunately.

On the other hand, no such issue while the 'Experimental' libaudio is disabled has been reported so far...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Regarding the recent posts about the Phone app: the Phone app is a persistent system process, so there's no need to try to lock it in RAM. It's kept running all the time. Even in an improbable unfortunate case of a crash, it would be restarted immediately automatically.

l1f30wn3r: do you by any chance limit the screen-off CPU frequency to anything below 250MHz?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Strokesws:
It's happening with me too, also when I try to make a call it freezes and I have to wait.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] l1f30wn3r:
Kabaldan: when screens off i set CPU to 400mhz, and i disable zram and swap.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] burdik:
Oh, the f build had my BP panic problems with some base stations fixed, so I can finally take my SIM back from V9+ into the Milestone

Sorry to for not posting logs months ago

Also the screen-off frequency below 250 (min at 120) is VERY stable for me, as new Interactive kicks the boost when needed
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ShinG0:
I've also disabled the zram and keep the swap off. Screen-off CPU freq is 600 and I suspect that somehow the zram could be the reason for those BP messages. I can't remember since which version we have this option (zram), but in combination with the new call recording libaudio could be unstable and cause the phone to crash. I have not got any BP messages since I've disabled the zram and set the screen off cpu freq to 600.

Will post results in one week as a proof that the BP messages are gone for good finally ... at least I hope so :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] CeBits:
I got another BP today with lib audio, call recording, swap and zram disabled. The odd thing is that it didn't ring or anything. I heard the new message/email sound in my pocket, and when I turned on the screen the BP error was up, but there was no message or email. I was in a hurry so couldn't make the crash report.

Other then that I am receiving and making calls just fine for almost a week now. Its quite stable.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] burdik:
BP promt uses sound notification. Convinient, as user knows when sth gone wrong
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andoruB:
I'm getting BP panics here with the experimental libaudio disabled. I haven't initiated calls on this phone, and I don't have a "voice" plan with my subscription, just a data plan. So the phone is connected 24/7. I haven't got those panics as often as the previous ROM versions but it happened 4-6 times since I installed this version when it came out. I got two errors each day in the last two days for a weird reason. I also got one today a few hours ago. I'll attach the logger folder. I tried looking for any bug reports but it seems last time the phone dropped one was a month ago.

Also how does one lower the CPU clock when the screen is off?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Hellscream2010:
Hi guys

Please please please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to connect my MM to the internet through wifi adhoc connection and it is disabled in the latest versions of cm7 so please how to enable it and also I found it can't connect to all wifi available around only connect to 2 and can't connect to the other 2 wifi hotspots so please explain this and how to fix ?

thanks in advance
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
Is there any update on Phone Layer BP Panic?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] oVeRdOsE.:
Report : So far so good. I'm running 7.2.4c since it's out, and I have no problem at all.

For now I'm trying to see how long I can make with my 2009 milestone.

I have galaxy s2 for spare and a nexus S but I dont know why, I'm sticking on this device.

thanks to this rom :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ShinG0:
I can confirm also that even with zram, swap off and screen-off CPU freq 600 Mhz I get this BP messages quite often now - let's say 1 of 20 calls or something like that and yes I restart my phone every 2 days, cuz I dunno how the build-in RAM controller in Android works , but does not look very good on devices with only 256 RAM like our Milestone. My phone starts to lag after I use apps like Youtube, Facebook, Opera Mobile and I have disabled almost everything from start up with the app Autorun Manager, which is very handy for me since I've heard for it. At first I thought that the memory card (8 Gb class 4) has something to do with the slow performance, then replace it with 16 Gb class 10, but can't find much improvement either. I'm starting to thing that soon or later my Milestone is about give me up.

P.S I was wondering why they can't make the mobile phones run like the portable computers - with replacement parts. It would be so so cool if I can make my Milestone run with hardware 512 Mb RAM or even 768 ... aah dreams :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adistf:
i also would like to see phones like portable pc's. make 1GB of ram :d i still have my old milestone,as a second phone. it works well with cm7 but it hangs went using facebook or skype. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
Grab the logs when it hangs and send it to Milestone CM7 Developer.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andoruB:
I've also noticed that after not rebooting the phone for a few days, the phone (by itself) launches a random number of apps, sometimes even more than one instance of each... the weird thing is most of these apps are what I never launched throughout the time the phone was on (between restarts). They aren't even apps that have a sync functionality, so that's not really an explanation. The phone becomes quite sluggish after a while and sometimes unusable unless I restart. Any way to fix this weird issue?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ShinG0:
Actually I did it several times already. If I have to upload logs every time when my phone hangs and I get BP message - that means every week. I don't think that developers need that much logs, but if kabaldan requests I would do so for sure :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
Sounds like a touchscreen issue. It may depend on the way you keep the phone in your pocket; I observed touch events popping out when I kept too warm the phone screen
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] CanAndroid:
I seem to be experiencing the telephony issue fairly frequently now. Sometimes it occurs while I'm on the phone, but often it occurs while it is just in my pocket not doing anything. I have attached the logs and bugreport from the most recent crash.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
Any news?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] steliosk:
How can I get this theme?

form this threat ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942145

any one have this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andoruB:
I also noticed that quite a few times when watching videos with hardware support on the phone it crashes and the screen tears, a half (of varying lenghts) of it turns to green. When that happens I have to pull the battery out in order to make it work again.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Also seems this thread doesn't get much resolution for problems, so which devel should I send the logs, to kabladan? I've seen someone post about that earlier in the thread. I'll attach the logs for the freeze here too anyway.

I've also experienced something similar where the video freezes at a frame, but it doesn't tear and the phone reboots but unfortunately I didn't catch the log for such an instance.

Thanks. ^^

I have some issues with the crap charger I have for the phone, the screen sometimes goes erratic whenever I touch anywhere. It's quite a pain but can't do much about it (can't buy original chargers where I'm from). I was thinking rather that there's something wrong with the OS itself that I could fix.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
It's normal, touch the metallic screen border while charging and touch will work perfectly
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andoruB:
I've read in other places that usually when the screen behaves like that it means that the charger gives quite some very unstable voltage/current and typically means it's of low quality. I've also previously used a charger from a Samsung smartphone and it didn't behave like that before. But I'll try what you said. Should I always touch it or just in the instance when the screen is misbehaving?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
Touch it when you touch the screen (I touch metallic part with left hand and screen with right hand.. Simple :)) -> No surprise!

Or do what you want :p

Hello,

I flashed CyanogenMod 7.2.4f on my Milestone A853.

I read the posts from 2013-01-01 until now.

The microphone and speaker are working fine.

I am unable to hear the speaker during a call, but I able to hear the speakerphone during a call.

Is there a solution for this issue, please?

Enviado de meu A953 usando o Tapatalk 2
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sfahadzb:
if it was working on previous rom, it is probably a dirty flash. wipe data and reflash
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cviniciusm:
It's strange. The speaker during a call was working fine on cm 7.0 and 7.1 and stop working after some time on 7.2 whether I did remember well. I reflashed stock Android 2.2.1 on it, but the same issue happened again. Then I flashed 7.2.4f yesterday, the same issue again.

I did download cm 7.2.4f and gapps again, the reflashed it right now, but unfortunately the issue strikes again.

I used a recorder app, so I was able to use the microphone to record my voice and then hear it on speaker.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Strokesws:
It happen with me too, I solved wiping and reflashing :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] burdik:
I have only one issue currently:

When Milestone gets enough uptime without a reboot, weird perfomance drop happens.

Sound in games begins to stutter, everything else becomes slower, ringtone stutters, etc.

Reboot solves everything

I believe it only happens if I leave the phone untouched for a pretty long time
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pt0:
Remount swap, if you use it and install a task killer application eg. Auto task killer. My uptime is 7 days and the device is still responsive.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andoruB:
Same issue with here as burdik has said. Only that pt0's guidelines don't help. I found out that if games stutter or have problems, wiping the Dalwik Cache helps, but for that the phone needs to be restarted.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
Same issue here. I have comp-cache set to 28% so maybe that is the problem will change is to 10% and check the results.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] babaq:
Hi, I have the same issue as burdik. Reboot helps so not a big problem, I just have to think about rebooting once in a while (OK, I can teach my Llama to do that instead of me...)

Edit: not using either swap or compcache.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] redsrule2500:
Same, got my first telephony issue while receiving a call. Froze up, couldn't answer, and then the error message.

This is after 2 days on CM 7.2.4f
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] redsrule2500:
Wow, I should have NEVER upgraded from 7.2.0 to 7.2.4f - my phone lags insanely terribly bad to the point I almost can't use it and I get the telephony glitch after 2 days.

Awful, awful experience.

Edit: Okay, now even after a restart, my phone is delayed beyond belief and won't sync Gmail. Clicking the Gmail button literally takes 15 seconds to open. What the hell happened...?! UGH
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ShinG0:
Unfortunately there is no fix so far for the Phone Layer BP freeze issue and nothing worked for me so far. I tried almost every possible combination with disable/enable functions/options from any possible menus. Could it be that the Phone.apk (located in /system/) has some faulty/heavy codes, that our old phones can't handle? Does anyone have an old Phone.apk, so I can try to replace it and test it out for couple of days..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
If I remember well, CM team stopped modifing Phone.apk because some person can't call with this modified apk even emergency calls and they (CM team) think it isn't acceptable at all to put the lives of their users in danger. So if there is changes betwteen versions, there is two possibilities:

Kabaldan has modified the code.

The version of Android itself has modified codes in Phone.apk which can't be handled by the Milestone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] burdik:
Modified Phone.apk was used since the very first versions of the CM7 by kabaldan, the only points of "return" I see are in 7.1 RC7/RC12 versions, there was a fix for ringtones and improved blacklist handling from upstream.

See if installing 7.1 RC6 or something lower helps
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
Mine is running in comparable speed with NAND (rather slow in first time booting though) with ext2 in class 6 sdcard.

Knowing that ext3 is "journalizing" version of ext2 which will greatly improve the performance so I tried numerous times using ext3 with app2ext (or even other apps like S2E 0.22) but no luck on that. Don't know if some scripts are missing to support ext3 or higher or I did something wrong.

Anyway, will try the new app2ext for CM7 to see if it works with ext3 or not.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
If you had app2ext installed successfully you should have 1xx out of 197MB (of course depending how many apps you have) free space rather than 24MB.

apply update for CM7 RC2 -> apply update for app2ext for CM7 -> reboot

Then you should get app2ext running in your device
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
an out of topic question; that is a church in your country? :o
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
I try to make it short and accurate. Please correct me if I'm not right.

As you may know Froyo comes with a2sd capability which means that apps can move to sdcard. However, it is on FAT partition so when the device boot up or mount with PC the apps in sdcard can't load up. That's why apps with widget is not encouraged to use a2sd.

Instead of putting on FAT app2ext moves apps to ext partition which won't affect even it is mounting to PC or so.

To make app2ext work on your device you need to have your sdcard partition in ext2 rather than FAT.

ext2 partition is most common. ext3 is "journalizing" version of ext2 which improves performance. ext4 is new but may not be widely supported.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
When I turn off wifi, 2g/3g automatically turns on (?), and I have to click twice on "enable data" to turn it off (because enable data isn't ticked, so I have to tick-untick to turn off (!?)). That's driving me crazy, how to disable. I don't have any APN controllers installed, and dunno what is causing this :S.... So, any advices?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Wow that is alot of people in your church. Is that using MIUI camera?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I have already partitioned mine to ext 2, but I dunno what is the next step? Does apps then automatically goes to ext 2 when I install it or... do I need some other app to invoke or force it to go to ext 2 everytime I install a new app?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Yup is the service I worship in.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Yeah a lot of people. :P

No it was using the stock camera app.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I am using this Gallery app

How do I overclock my Milestone to 1ghz? CM7 maxes it at 900mhz. I used Androidiani and set it to 1ghz, but my phone bootlooped. So I put it back.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Edit the 10overclock file manually. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Thank you very much Bryan for the tip, appreciate it. Would I be able to overclock to 1ghz and keep the vsel @ 57 like it says yours is?.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] liranvaknin:
what is the best govenor to use?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
You go to OR, apply zip file of app2ext_cm7 and reboot. When your device is booted the apps should have moved to sd-ext.

I usually use either root explorer or titanium to check whether it's success or not.

Root explorer: you should be able to see folder app, app-private and dalvik-cache under /sd-ext

Titanium: you should see three lines at the bottom - internal memory, sdcard and sdcard (a2sd) with the free space you made your ext2 partition

And then everytime you install new apps it will go to ext2 partition
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Whenever I use Root Explorer and I install an apk, instead of going back to the folder of apk's it goes black for a second and puts me back at the root of my phone. I then have to go back through the sdcard, apps, etc. Anyone else having this issue? Its annoying, but not a deal breaker for me, CM7 is awesome. Love the ROM
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brysonwong:

Im using 0.07-11.02.23 RC2 and the date of my messages is effed up , for example a friend text messages me at 2 pm and on the screen it says it was reived at 7 pm :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] virus_spreade121:
I tried installing this on My Milestone . I used ROM manager to Flash Clockwork Recovery . And then I selected install ROM from sd card and selected "update-cm-7.0.0-RC2-0.07-11.02.23-Milestone-signed " and it asked me to press okay to go into clockwork recovery. Phone started normally , the installer package was displayed for 1 second and then the triangle with the Exclamation mark and then it disappears and the normal bootanimation starts .

I am currently running Froyo Mod v2.2.2.

Whats going wrong on my part?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ShinG0:
I see.

Actually this issue with the Phone Layer BP freeze message asking to reboot the phone started since version 7.2.4d (2.3.7) 27.12.2012 . The only new feature, which is declared in the description and it was suspicious for me - "add built-in call recording option; no beeps every 10s during call recording any more", but we tried already to disable/enable the function - no change..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] burdik:
If under device settings Experimental libaudio is disabled then I don't know what causes these BPs for you

Does it also happen in airplane mode or without sim?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ShinG0:
It happens only, while I'm about to receive a call - when somebody is calling me. Then the phone started to ring, I try to pick up the call, but the screen does not want to respond and I can't move the slider. In few seconds I get the message and I need to reboot the phone, in order to continue receiving calls, otherwise the phone is asking me to enter the PIN, which means that I'm definitely loosing the connection to my provider by that time --> check post #8797

I've just checked that there is slight difference, between the new cm-7.2.4f-umts_sholes and the old cm-7.2.4c-umts_sholes.

cm-7.2.4f-umts_sholes --> Phone.apk 1.04 MB (1,090,879 bytes) ; Phone.odex 696 KB (713,408 bytes)

cm-7.2.4c-umts_sholes. --> Phone.apk 1.04 MB (1,090,568 bytes) ; Phone.odex 691 KB (708,088 bytes)

I'm about to replace the files and post results later..

P.S: I've just managed to replace the Phone.apk and Phone.odex with Root Explorer, but for some reason did not work and the phone does not wanted to run the PIN recognition at start up at all and also could not establish any connections. I'm not a developer so I can't modify the source code and I can't read the logs..sadly.

Sometime force close when use phone & It always restart automaticly
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] redsrule2500:
My phone is at a damn near crawl since upgrading to 7.2.4f, worst mistake ever made w/ this device.

It's really pissing me off, any suggestions other than just downgrading back to 7.2.0 (Which at least operated)

It's weird too because I have MORE RAM free when I hit my task killer pro kill button (50+MB) whereas I used to only have 30-40....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Strokesws:
I downgrade mine to 7.2.4c yesterday, it looks smoother.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
I know that it might be against forum rules, however, we are waiting very long for the update.

Is there any?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andoruB:
I think it's generally wise to not ask such questions.

But you could look at nabladak's release "behaviour" in the past hear on this ROM and you'll notice that from February to June he's not that much active. We might end up getting another release in June, but don't get your hopes too high, and leave nabladak some time to breathe, he has a life too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
Sure I totally understand that, the reason I am asking it that I am using the Milestone everyday, I am experiencing some slowness, drop calls, reboots, BP panics etc.

I am collecting logs and sending them to our favourite developer :)

However, it seems like 7.2.4c is much more stable and I am wondering to downgrade (I have never done that before :))

I am just curious if kabaldan is working on it. It he has problems I can help.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andoruB:
Ah I understand, I use it at a daily basis as well so I can understand the frustration.

My bad for misunderstanding your intentions ^^;

I think the same procedure is done when downgrading as well (just place the ROM under /OpenRecovery/update and apply it).

Hope this helps. I wish I could have the expertise to help kabladan out as well...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
Just to enrich CM7 feedback...

to me, 7.2.4f is perfect, and better than previous releases.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] b787:
Is there a way to downgrade PowerVR SGX drivers back to 1.5 version?

I have a problem with Nintendo 64 emulator, specifically with broken textures in Super Mario 64 while using gles2n64 plugin (gles2rice works fine, but it's too slow). It was flawless in froyo, so it has something to do with either updated GPU drivers or gingerbread.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
As far as I know Android 4.x requires updated drivers to work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
That might require some work. kabaldan forced unload of old, builtin drivers and loaded new one. It probably needs kernel rebuilt as well to make it work.

Edit: Actually, force unloading was on stock kernel, before 2nd boot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
Is this forum dead?

I am wondering if there is still support for Milestone.

Can anyone reply. pls
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andoruB:
No, as you can see from the timestamps of the posts, there's still some discussion going on. The main developer is now (supposedly) on hiatus.
