b7 seems slower than b5 (i skipped b6 entirely)..

LauncherPro for example has visible lag when switching homescreens or entering the menu... In b5 it was perfectly smooth.

There is more free memory though...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
I can confirm that
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] politan:
So, better to stay on build 6 ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scores87:
to flash this rom do I need to flash the kernel too or not (i am running 2.2.1 vivo leak)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] politan:
Not. Only do full wipe and update Froyo to Gingerbread ;).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kezs:
Edgard,

TIM is sending me a Milestone 2 in a few days. Do you have any experience with it? Do you know how easy (or how hard) it would be to port ShadowMOD/AOSP GB to MS2?

Thx!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tintin814:
agree...i also note that there is visible lag when return to homescreen under ADW Ex.

In b5...available memory was around 40 - 50M...but it drops to around 26 - 32M after ungraded to b6/b7. Doesn't there is more memory tuning? It's so mysterious that there is significant memory drop.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Christoffer84:
Memory tuning does not mean more free memory!

Tuning means in this case better management - android is not Windows ;)

free memory is mostly wasted memory
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
Build 7 is better overall.

Laggy on home screen maybe because of dithering of color banding (i prefer b6 setting)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
b7 starts with restart. It reset itself on launcher, but not completely. I don't see M logo only boot animation and then it start normally. Looks like it is doing last stage of booting two times.

I noticed also than I can't change wallpaper from gallery. And it often switch to emergency phones only. I am from Poland.

EDIT

restart and gsm problems was caused by toggle2g work's fine on b6
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
try my compilation of tweaks from conos and foyomod. It eliminates lags almost completely for me. I find also that for b7 full wipe helps a lot in terms of speed.

I have had the exact opposite experience with Cronos and Froyomod optimizations on Gingerbread - the phone feels slower with them than without any tweaks.

I also tried your overclock file on b7 - definitely slower, both in use and on Quadrant...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
Bug "one" seemed to have been fixed. I receive and send texts perfectly well now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Hey Edgard, I installed beta7 all seems fine except the double boot when you power on the phone, and video recording not saving the files, could you please check the problem, I tried with full wipe,
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edgardcastro:
Yeah, apparently the video is broken for a lot of people. :(

Will release a hotfix pretty soon.

B3 is still the best and running smooth for me!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edgardcastro:
The problem with B3 is that you might miss notifications (SMS and so on) due the *very* agressive optimizations. It's faster, but less reliable.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Another thing I noticed with B7 is some instability like running the latest version of Quadrant on the second run the screen goes blank and the phone seems to lock up, never happend in previous releases,
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pithanks:
b3 is the best for me too. Later versions have a huge battery drain on my milestone. =(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] billyng91:
Hi edgardcastro

Could you make the previous builds available for download for us all?

Some of us would prefer previous builds because they are better for us in one way or another (faster OS, better memory tuning, etc etc)

It would be great if we can have access to that and pick the one we like.

Thank you edgardcastro!

Hey thanks for that link!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nintendere:
Thanks for this, it works great on most parts. However, I have some issues with Maps (it often freezes when it's started) and Gallery (same here).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adaimespechip:
Fantastic! Really really impressed with the battery life... I haven't charged it once since I applied this ROM and it's still at 60% with usage!

GOT 2.2.1 has a huge battery leak somewhere, I couldn't get 10 hours out of it, even with no usage..

A few things though - Gallery.. the phone freezes and will not respond to anything when I load the gallery sometimes.

Market - When downloading apps, the download will just disappear, and I would need to re-download from the market, this happens several times before I can get it to actually download and stick.

Something to think of, if it's possible? With the milestone, the default number of ROWS on the home screen is 4.. How would I change this to 5 without having a home replacement app installed?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nintendere:
So i tried to apply the latest build (7) through OR as usual. Everything seemed to worked fine, but when I rebooted the phone it got stuck on the "M" starting screen. I have since wiped all data and tried to run it but I don't get the phone beyond the "M". Please help!

I have wiped all data from my sd card yesterday as I had some problems with it. When I tried to apply version 7 I put OR 1.30 on it as it was the first version that I found.

It was. However, OR shows: "E:Can't mount (dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (No such device)". After applying the update it shows "Install from sdcard complete".

I had version 5 of this rom on before.

Thanks!

Does this ROM come pre-loaded with the JIT compiler? I'm only receiving 4.5 mflops when benchmarking?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
See OP.

It says why and when it was removed.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Someone please clarify for me: is this 2.3.3 or 2.3.2 cause someone said above that this is newer than 2.3.2, but it cant be cause it uses API Level 9 and 2.3.3 uses level 10, Edgard can you please use the normal Android numerotation? cause its kind of confusing, like 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 for future releases with API Lvl 10... for a baseline. just a tought cause AOSP just creates confusion, at least for me...

Edit:Not that I can't change that manualy, but first I need to know the version, but I supose its equals to 2.3.2, right?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adaimespechip:
It's 2.3.1 :)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kezs:
I was having some problems probably related to memory. Was getting FCs with any app, occasionally, and Maps Navigation most of all. Today I changed Memory Manager (Androidiani) from aggressive to mild, and whaddiaknow: not a FC the whole day.

Now the only "problem" I have is one I had with stock 2.1 and 2.2, not CM6 or SMBR 2.2. During Navigation, cell reception or data connection will often be lost. One *or* the other, seldom ever both. Might also be related to memory, but I'm clueless.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
No, it is not.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11349261&postcount=462

Also, I don't *think* the API level matters as the only new API is that of Support for Near Field Communication, something that the Milestone doesn't support (missing hardware).

Think of the numbering as SVN builds.

2.3.3r456

Main release (2.3.3) with 456 changes since.

When Google feels there has been anuff bug fixes / a big bug is fixed, they will push a new main release such as 2.3.4.

I *think* :P .
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
2.3.2 or 2.3.3, build prop leads to 2.3.2... confusion, XD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Do you see any 2.3.3 tag here?: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=summary

No.

That's because 2.3.3 sources have not been released yet. Only the SDK so far.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] huzi7868:
hi i wanted to flash this rom but wanted to know how much iternal memory u get after flashing it and whats the known camera bug thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Okay thank you for the clarification :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] strikermdd:
Its possible to add theme support for this release ? Even if like a extra package ? Like TMOBILE theme engine ?

Thanks and ShadowMod its a great ROM.

Anything is possible, but now the goal is to optimize the memory tunings first, everything else later in the future.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Linmad:
Memory going down and home app running

Hi everyone

I have been using this rom for a few days now and it goes fairly well, besides the cam problem that I end up using another soft for taking pictures the rest goes well.

I had try before CM7 and the problem I had with that rom is that the services where closing and starting continuisly so it slow down the phone very soon with this rom it happens after an hour or two of use. I am not running much proceses but I realice that it goes slower with time. I suppose it is memory problem that will be solved?

In the mean time, one thing that frustates me a lot is the home app that every time i hit home it takes a while to load ( I try ADW, default app and launcher pro but they all take long to load. I try to make it persistent using the launchers options but still they close and reopen. Is there any way to force it to be running always?

Thank a lot

Is that so? Okay then, its not a big problem since i rarely use my camcorder.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] billyng91:
Try Build 6 with latest kernel instead. Im running Build 6 now without any homescreen memory problems and I have 69MB free RAM. I am not running any task killer. All homescreen apps scrolls smoothest with Build 6 running on new kernel.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] politan:
"Latest kernel" you mean "Newest kernel" from first post of this topic? Yes ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
Good battery life.

Build6: I am not a heavy multimedia user. also do not use much of the camera. In a day, I mostly listen 2/3 songs and take lot of phone calls and check Gmails (3 accounts) several times a day, say at least 15 times.

I still got good battery life which stayed for more than a day or one and half day.

I m using newest kernel, which is faster but not stable. Experienced two times device hanging in a day. I am not sure but can I switch back the default kernel, i mean, from newer to older? Will it be any problem? Please advice.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] politan:
It's only update, so i think you shouldn't have issue, with back to older kernel. I had no problem with back to stock kernel.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sidneisp:
thanks for yours great work!!!!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] billyng91:
Yea I meant that. Scrolling performance works best with that kernel.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] politan:
After update kernel to newest everything works faster ;]. I'm using build 7 [camera recorder still doesn't work, but it's not problem for me]. Free RAM after reboot 85 MB. After long work ~70 MB. So, it's good for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] billyng91:
Actually, if you notice, Build 6 (new kernel) scrolls smoother than Build 7 (new kernel). Try that out :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] billyng91:
Just a small observation:

Launcherpro scrolls (tiny bit) smoother on this ROM with the preferences>General Settings>Motorola Droid Hack UNCHECKED.

Try it out!

Hey, just wanted to ask, if you managed to find the cause or a fix for the camcorder and hot boot problem, just courious :d
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
how is the speed compared with b3 ??

I am using b3 and everything is nice except that the background services would be killed quickly.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
One stupid question: How to change the kernel to the new one??

Just update through OR ??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] billyng91:
Just as fast as b3, except with better memory management. I dun think it kills background services as aggressively, on day-to-day use its fine. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] billyng91:
Yea, just flash the new kernel .zip
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
thanks for your reply

B3 kills process quickly.

I have installed Dr.Web (a anti-virus software).

Everytime I turn on the protection and leave it as a background service,

It will be killed very soon and the protection becomes inactive:(

How do you do that in CM? :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kezs:
So Edgard, anything new you're working on? :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
I second that! Me too noticed Build6 is reliable and faster than Build7.

After using B7 for couple of days I decided to roll back to B6 with Newest Kernel. And after that everything is fine. Camera (pic/vid both) work fine. Seems no need to upgrade to B7 until there is major number of bugfix is done including camera. I also noticed the Gallery is faster than all previous versions.

But still , like they say, do your own homework.....

EDIT: Video are lost in B7 after shooting a clip. Dont know where they disappear. Hard to find or impossible to find. Anyways B6 does not have that issue.

Hold down the up key to skip to the next track and down to change to prev track. Can't remember if its the other way around though.

Well the camera problem being fixed is pretty much a given... it doesn't save in b7... and the memory management would be nice... they're not demands so much as they are hopes:D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] casterboink:
Is the b7 still based on the older kernel. Im currently on b3 which I think is based on a newer kernel, Im not having any reboot problems so I like to stick with the newer kernel. If I upgraded to the b7 build, will I just have to install the patch for the newer kernel in OR?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] politan:
Yes, only what you must do is "Apply update" in OR.

--update--

So, I back to build 6. Now I see how stable and fast is this version. When I update build 6 to build 7, I don't feel how slow is it. Now, I know :]. I'm stay in b6 and wait for b8 [or other version :)].

It's definitely worth upgrading to b6. I find it to be the most stable and fast. b7 has the camera and reboot issues.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
I have tried both b6 & b3,

I really don't think that b6 is as fast as b3,

b3 is much much faster than b6

Under b6,

when I close the browser and switch back to home,

it seems that the laucher has been killed and it takes time to restore

Also, when I click the app drawer

the apps have to be loaded for a while and they keep changing position until everything is loaded.

( maybe that's because I am using move2sd enabler /app2sd )

But under b3,

The launcher never gets killed.

No loading of apps happens when I open app drawer.

I would say b3 is the best rom that I have used so far

good battery life, stable (never reboot), and fast
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tamujun:
I am using B6. First time using this rom so no comparisons between B6 and other versions. But so far this one is the most stable, and fastest rom I have ever used.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
Maybe you should try b3,

Just simply wipe cache and apply update.zip

You don't need to wipe data

If you find b6 is better, just do the same thing.
