Milestone freeze/black screen with CM7

Hi! CM7 is really great job, thanks! but i am having some auto-restart and black screen issues after flashed CM7.

after the the M logo and the CM7 logo, sometimes my MS will go black screen and can't get into normal home screen. I believe it is running some kind of procedure in the background cos the machine is really hot!!! when some one call in at this moment, it rings and even i can pick up the call~~~

I've replaced the boot.img and flash again, but still having same problem. may some one advice me please ? thanks!!

Hi everyone, although i am really pleased with Telus V5.2 ROM, I keep looking this thread as I always want to have the latest android has to offer.

How is the Memory (free RAM) and the responsiveness of CM 7.1?

Because with Telus Lite I have about 100MB free (with a task killer) and I am able to play a couple of gameloft HD games. And the phone is snappy as hell.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
mine too. :eek: what's going on?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] promixer:
I have problem, when phone is in sleep mode, and when i turn on to unlock the phone, screen doesnt turn on, not even if i use physical keyboard. Then i need to take out the batery and turn on the phone if i want to use it.

Is maybe problem in overclocking, when in sleep mode is decreased to 125mhz?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Subbie171:
Im soon updating to latest build so I will point this out now: I disabled the dsi error fix last Friday and got no reboots. I refrained from using crash-king gmaps, but still had heavy usage.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
You can try FroyoMOD, I also get 100mb+ with task killer and I can play most of GL games(all except Asphalt 6 and Shadow Guardian).

gapps 20110503

with this version of goole apps, gapps-gb-20110503-signed.zip it seems that market is unstable and my phone isn't recognized under market.android.com

is it only my issue?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
My apps in phone is the same list as I have in "My Market Account" link and I do see my phone listed there.

You are probably seeing the "black screen issue" (see here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=498), which has not been solved yet. It has happened to me a few times (but it's not very frequent).

I believe there's nothing you can do right now (besides restart the phone by using the HW keyboard or by removing the battery) but wait for the fix.

Best regards
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joker2mbr:
Have you modified the 10overclock file to use 125 MHz? I'm asking because CM7's default minimum frequency on 10overclock file is 250 MHz.

But what you are seeing might also be related to the "black screen" issue (see here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=498), which has not been solved yet. It has happened to me a few times. I just mentioned it on my previous post.

When the screen is black, does the touchscreen work? Can you "blindly" unlock the phone and answer calls, for instance? If you can, it's the "black screen" issue.

For the "black screen" problem, you don't need to remove the battery. You can soft-reset the Milestone by pressing "left **** + right alt + del" on the HW keyboard. If it's something else (ex.: if the touch screen is not working), you really might have to remove the battery to restart the phone.

Good luck!

After your comment I noticed I didn't try it with gps on. After turning it on, it crashed almost immediately. Curious
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] daniel.zuo:
some times, the RC1 shall be down and required hard reboot. Who can tell me the solving method?

same here.

but i dont think thats a problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hearts king101:
Hi there

How are U ?

I was wondering, Does CM7 support ext2 by default so apps get installed directly to ext2 ? OR do i have to apply a script to use ext2 ?

And

regarding camera lens sound >>>>> me too....... Any fix ?

Regards.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rotundjere:
install older version gapps-gb
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
That camera lens sound is caused by Gtalk. Everytime I open Gtalk, I hear it too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Edwrib:
- continuous logging is enabled and redirected to /cache/logger

today get low disc msg because /data/logger was bigger than 25mb. and I deleted the folder before I update to rc1.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Edwrib:
yep, the new gtalk with audio&video.

btw my gtalk only show mic button, no video for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hearts king101:
Thank u

I think u mean camera sound, Right?

If yes, What abt 1st Q. ?

Thanks in advance.

Custom ringtones finally works!!!

Now I've finally found a way to make custom ringtones works... at least until now it never miss.

1) For every single call

2) Even in low memory situations, like while playing HD games like Asphalt HD

3) Without a millisecond of delay

This afternoon I spent 3 hours searching the web for informations about how Android store informations, and soon I found that Android store contacts informations (every single detail, including contact photo and call registry, in a SQL database file, located in data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/database. I've studied SQL at university, so I know how it works.

There are 2 tables with the column "custom_ringtones", in every table the fields were of this form:

content://media/internal/audio/media/XXX

where XXX is a number associated to a ringtone, this association is stored in another SQL database located in data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/database (there are 2 databases, one for internal ringtones and one for sd ones)

I immediately realized that the solution was simple: pointing directly to the ringtone file.

So in a developers website I found that the correct form to point directly was:

file:///sdcard/XXX.ogg

file:///system/media/audio/ringtones/XXX.ogg

I manually edited the contacts database for only 1 contact, rebooted, and it works!

But this is an hard and slow procedure, so I managed to find an easier way, and the solution I found is really easy and fast:

1) Download from Android market a ringtone picker app, I've used Tone Picker. If you use HandCent SMS, you already have a ringtone picker.

2) Only if your ringtones are not in sdcard, download a filemanager with root permissions, I used Root Explorer because all my ringtones are in in system/media/audio/ringtones

3) Now you have to assign custom ringtones with Tone Picker: in the contact options, select the option to assign a custom ringtone, select Tone Picker instead of Android System, and it will show a list of applications, select the file explorer and point to the desired file.

4) The same procedure should be used to define the default ringtone in settings/audio

By doing this way for every contact, in the contacts database all the custom_ringtones fields will be filled correctly, directly pointing to the ringtone file, and phone will ring with the correct ringtone every time, and without looking in the media database, so the ring will start immediately.

Please post comments if you try my method

EDIT: I forget to say:

1) It's better to avoid spaces in the ringtones path and also in the ringtone name, because in the contacts database spaces are converted in "%20", may cause problems

2) I tested this procedure only with ogg ringtones (30 ringtones, from 1 to 2,50 MB) and all located in system/media/audio/ringtones. It should work with SD ringtones too.

3) I don't know if it helps, but before installing the ROM I changed this line in build.prop:

ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=5000

The original value was 3000. Strangely, now the phone starts to ring immediately instead of waiting 3 seconds.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Subbie171:
Pictures, movies and music have disappeared from the gallery and from the music app (and winamp). Remounted SD, rebooted and manually restarted media scanner and nothing shows up still :/

edit: false alarm. some rogue app threw a .nomedia file into /sdcard :lol

I dont use gtalk at all, even dont know where the icon is :D, and I still hear the camera sound from time to time.

There is a background google app that has to check my cam is working every 10 minutes? :confused::confused::confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ctomgee:
I've been wondering the same thing, as maybe 1 out of 10 times, the default ringtone gets used instead of my custom tone. Thanks much! It SEEMS to work for now; we'll see if it ever misses.

UPDATE:

So doing this for custom ringtones did NOT work. A contact that I had assigned a custom ringtone in this fashion that was on my sd card rang with a completely random tone, strangely enough.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I love GTalk. I can communicate with other Android owners and non-Android owners who are on the PC or Gmail.

Plus the fact is the built in Talk app is native to the OS and it uses PUSH protocol so does not consume as much battery as other 3rd party IM chat apps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
correct..but it only happens to me once a day only. subsequence use of Gtalk did not cause the camera sound anymore..until the next reboot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I managed to test Video call with a friend who is connected using his PC and Gmail chat.

I can see his video and the audio quality is superb..very sharp and clear and no lag for the audio.

But he cannot see my video but can hear my voice..also very sharp and clear and no lag.

sometimes app installation failed if there are too many app updates in market. can i limit the simutaneous download in market? FYI, i am using 7.0.1 final.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Hi and thank you for your answer. I've seen this, and it doesn't have the max values of vsel and cpu speed in different code lines, as it used to. Should I change the number 5 (the max one..) to Overclock to 1.1/1.2 GHz?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Yes, usually you do change the highest frequency for the one that you want. Just beware of too high vsels, your phone might bootloop.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rampee:
RC2

2.3.4 RC2 is out!

https://github.com/nadlabak/android/downloads :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Yes, I want to do just that. Do you know where I can do it? Or should I change the number 5 value?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Use root explorer and change the top-most line to whatever you want. Example: CM7 is stock at 1000MHz and 64 vsel (I believe) so if it says 1000000 64, you can change that for 1100MHz by having it read 1100000 67(example).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
How come before the RC1, I was on RC0 using ext2. So I had more than 100MB of free internal memory. But after I upgrade to RC1, my internal memory left 40MB? Anyway to make sure all my apps are in ext2 again?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Please update to RC2, the logger redirection to /cache was not working in RC1.

EDIT: Hell! Actually wait for RC2.1, there's still an issue with the logger redirection...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
okay .. waiting ....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 340865669:
There are "two update-cm-7.1.0-RC2-11.05.11-Milestone-signed.zip" in GitHub... is the first one RC2.1?

The first one cannot be downloaded(access denied), though.

EDIT: now the first one becomes RC2.1....cant wait to download(which means i still cannot download) :p

EDIT: Link now works, great
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Edited: ok it works now. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hauphuoc:
I still can not dowload RC2.1. Please update this link download. Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Maybe there are too many downloads at the same time now ... try a while later?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
I've updated my post, please check.

Until now, not even a miss on my phone.

If you have Root Explorer (that have a built-in sql viewer) open the contacts database located in data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases and check the tables contacts and raw_contacts, custom ringtones assigned with my method must be

file:///sdcard/ecc...

instead of standard method

content://media/ecc...

5 minutes ago I received 2 calls, both with the correct ringtone :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
Can i do a simple step to upgrade to RC2.1 from RC2:

1. edit content of 02mountlogger same as init_mount_logger.sh, and rename to 02mountlogger.sh (or keep the name to 02mountlogger).

2. Add "exec /system/bin/sh /system/bin/02mountlogger.sh" to init.mapphone_umts.rc

3. reboot

??

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
keunhuvac: yes
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
OK, thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ctomgee:
Ah, I had spaces in my filenames. I eliminated the spaces, and it seems to have fixed the random tone issue. Thanks!

UPDATE:

Well, it does still occasionally "miss" for specific contacts with their own custom tones. Instead of that contact's custom tone, it uses the default ringtone. Strangely enough, my default ringtone is ALSO a custom tone, located in the same folder on the SD card as all my other ringtones.

I opened my contacts2.db file, and they are still pointed using content://.... instead of file://....

I'll try again using a different file manager...

UPDATE 2:

I downloaded Astro File Manager, and used that to pick my files instead of the default file manager that came installed with CM7, and that pointed to the media files using file://... instead of content://... Seems to all be sorted now.

Thanks downloadman!

Anyone knows wich file to edit, to ignore some numbers when receiving sms/calls?

I mean... person number is 555-5555 (but with local and international codes, it´s 32-42-555-5555), so I have to put the entire international codes on every contact, if I dont do this way, sms appears like unknown.

There is a way to ignore some first numbers?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
This ROM has its own blacklist feature which ( I dunno in other countries but here in Spain works perfect!).

If you go in > settings > call settings > blacklist ... you can choose there whether by typing the number or just pick it up from your contact list.... Once again.... I don't know outside Spain cos' I haven't travelled around yet. I think this feature depends specifically on your Company's provider or however it calls it, hehe( sorry for my poor English, I'm improving .... not much as you see! ;-)

EDIT: if you haven't got them in your contact list, I suggested you to try them both

With 7.1.0-RC2-11.05.08 and previous versions I had problem with my car's bluetooth, I couldn't take a call from a wheel commands and buttons also dial out.

Now with 7.1.0-RC2.1-11.05.11 (2.3.4) seams to me that problem is fixed.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mike-08:
I've got the impression that battery live has decreased since 7.1.0.

After 10 hours of sparse usage (No phone calls, just a few messages with whatsapp and a few facebook messages). It's down to 30%.

Has anybody expreienced the same issue?

I noticed that there's a process called aplogd using about 3% of the battery power. I'm not sure, but I think I did not see this in the 7.0 releases.

Thanks,

Mike

@nadlabak

Thanks again for the awesome ROM. Keep up the good work. We all appreciate it!

Just a quick question: do you intend to implement the feature to have the Bluetooth discoverability timeout configurable, like we have on CM6 (originally suggested by H.Czedik)? I think this is a very handy feature!

I think since 2.3.4 I've been missing texts left and right. Phone calls are the only way to get to me.... Damn this memory issue!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Every app tested uses more or less 20MB of RAM, devices with 512MB arent free of this problem.

Dont know how a simple app like system info could take 30MB of RAM, when on Windows, uses no more than 5MB..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ctomgee:
CM7

does

have an option to keep the messaging app in memory, under Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Performance, there is an option "Lock messaging app in memory". Is that not checked?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Is this new in the previous 11.05.08 release? I know it was in the changelog in the last edition, but does that mean the option was just added?

I was running 11.04.24 and missing stuff, so when I saw 11.05.08 having that changelog, I was excited, but I kept missing texts even 2 days ago. Maybe I'll have a go at that.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Keeping Messaging in Memory has been in CM7 for quite some time, just one of those more obscure options I guess.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Splog:
I believe this option is enabled by default, so unless you disabled it, it's probably on.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
Zepellinrox said somewhere that to work properly you should disable it, open the message application, exit it, then enable the option, then it will keep it in memory. Dunno if that is true or not, but, did it as it is better be safe than sorry... :p

P.s.: many people still do not realize that if internal storage free space is low (you receive warnings about it) your phone will stop receiving SMS's, not saying that this is your case, but this could interfere as well...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Odd. I'll play around and send a bunch of test texts. The phone works fine on bootup, but over time it bogs down and then say halfway through the day I start missing texts.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Does this option works also for GoSMS, or only for MMS.apk from system/app?

I've deleted MMS.apk from system/app and only use GoSMS

I will ask once more, "terminate by long press back button" is not working; the app killed notification appear on the screen but it doesn't close. Is it only a problem of my phone?

https://github.com/nadlabak/android_frameworks_base/commit/a0ae1d7bd1e8b5d838946c2f233a1716bc15f027

Since this commit (May 6), any later release should not see the system messaging app to be killed because of low memory unless the option "Lock messaging app in memory" has been deselected by user.

If you are using some alternative SMS app, you should use the sys.keep_app_1/2 property. But I really don't recommend to do this in the case of handcent, as it is a big memory hog. Handcent is essentially broken. Don't use it. Period.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
What app is not being terminated for you?

This feature works as expected for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Read http://elinux.org/Android_Memory_Usage

The numbers you are given by the app you use to see the app's RAM usage are obviously useless. Have you tried to sum the numbers up? Does it fit to the 226MB of RAM that is available on Milestone?

Unless it's the Pss that you can check by 'procrank' command or see in ddms output, the Vss/Rss numbers you are given have no real meaning.

Hi kabldan

Thank you for this great work :cool:

would plz tell how to enable ext2 as i have ext2 partition on my sd and i installed CM7 RC2.1 and i started to install my apps but the internal memory reached 98 MB ????( this only with games )

Thank u again

Many Regards ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Subbie171:
Hey nabladak, this latest version is great! I'm even getting better battery life!

But moving cache back to the internal memory has led me to many low memory warnings (yeah I got too many apps...). What should I edit to move cache along with app and app-private back to my ext4 partition, seeing as I don't mind a bit of a delay when launching apps and how it didn't fix gmaps' crashes.

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Thanks, very informative as always. I though they were wrong, cause every widget was on the 20MB line, and removing, killing or adding mores, has no effect on free mem.

I just hate the browser getting killed without remembering open tabs :( I guess, also, dolphin hd cant save open tabs :(
