Where is the link to download latest wersion?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dricos:
means,

this rom was included script for applying app2ext.

no need to do:

applying app2ext-all.zip (bro sileshn)

mkdir system/sd

installing busybox

Just preparing great microsd with app2ext partition..

CMIIW..?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Thats right, from cyanogen twitter:

"cyanogen cyanogen

Sorry about the epic fail with 7.0.1. New build is out, hope everyone likes it :) "

Dont know what epic fail is about, but dont use 7.0.1 just in case :)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Subbie171:
I think I've done that a few hundred times! :p
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
Yes, as simple as that!

Alt key is already written on the hw keyboard

Ctr/shift is the one with the arrow

And finally, Back/DEL(delete) is the one above the ENTER key.

So.... Alt + shift + del = reboot !

7.0.2

7.0.2: If I'd release a new 7.0.2 version now, it would be identical with the already released 7.0.1 (apart from the version number :p ).

See https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cyanogen/blob/gingerbread/CHANGELOG.mkdn

ROMManager is not included at all on Milestone and the themes are not missing from the Milestone 7.0.1 build.

I will save the 7.0.2 version number for the next build that I will release when there actually will be some new fix or feature relevant to Milestone ready.

Trying it set to 8...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Subbie171:
Set it to 8 too. I've noticed if you start it with already GPS on, it's more prone to freezing. Even if it doesn't completely freeze, it sits not responding for a bit after being usable. A force-close or wait dialog usually appears.

Swype Keyboard

I use the Swype keyboard for quick messages, but it doesn't work on either 11.04.18b or the current 11.04.24 versions of cm7. You can manually enter text fine like a normal keyboard, but the "Swype" function doesn't work at all. You still see it tracing your path, but there's no output.

Anyone else run into this problem?

For those unaware, swype's a popular keyboard for touchscreen only devices. You drag your finger to each letter quickly, without lifting your finger from the screen. It's smart enough to figure out the word you wanted to type. I find it's much faster than regular soft keyboards, though I still much prefer the HW keyboard on our milestones for longer messages. swype's great for quick SMS's though.

http://www.swypeinc.com/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brandner:
Jumped onto 7.0.1 before it even hit the XDA forum, works great. 7.0.0 was a bit laggy for me after awhile, this one seems great. GPS, SIP, VPN, all the bells and whistles that I use are working.

I'm still getting crap battery life, but I've been reading up on it and I'm sure there are things I can do on my end. The app 'CPUStats' indicates that my phone spends a LOT of time at the max frequency (1000MHz) so there could be a lot of stuff running.

Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
My experience of Swype (I stopped using it a few months ago) is that this behaviour is by design. When Swype cannot detect that it is properly installed and licensed to a registered user, it enters reduced functionality mode where it works as a normal keyboard, but will not process swipe text entry.

This used to happen to me often. My Swype installation seemed to be affected by all sorts of things including a new ROM being flashed, me getting out of bed on the wrong side, or by a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest. So many things seemed to upset Swype and its stupid copy protection system, that I no longer use it.

It was fairly easy to fix by uninstalling it and then using the Swype Installer to create a new installation. But my patience is finite, and after the 20th re-install, I decided that my time would be better spent popping bubblewrap or dressing up as a turnip...

SF
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Uninstall Swype. And run your Swype Installer app again and let Swype download and install it again for you. It works for me. :)

Sadly I cannot find any better Swype replacement. And because I am so used to Swype, I find it too slow for me to go back to normal keypad. :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] metalron:
As people suggested a quick reinstall will solve your issue, I find this happening when i use a backed up version of swype. Just DL it again using the installer, does not seem to cripple the installer apk.

Hi,

Also having this issue.

New 7.0.1 version does not let me boot. Stucked at moto logo. Left my phone for 15 minutes, and nothing changed. Anyone suggest a fix? I've done a full wipes before that. Help needed!!!

Data wipe will erase the data partition, but it will not touch the ext partition on sdcard.

NICE update 7.0.1. gmaps seldom freeze now.

It is still auto reboot though, but i guess the frequency is lower.

i want to try free dsi boot.img, but i want to know the "has its own issue" first. what is the issue?

Can i install a syslog so that i can debug the rebooting?

I am using gscript with supercharge v5 multitasking , FYI. Please comment. Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
I've read that with the old kernel you should reboot every time you unplug the USB cable because of a bug that prevent phone from sleeping, but I'm not 100% sure.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vagelisda:
Aaaargh!damn it!

I think i'm pretty sure by now;

Cm 7 will never work as it should,on a milestone.

I was the biggest supporter in greek forums and stuff,i thought we had the perfect rom,but;

Its soooo much slower than cm froyo,mem hack is doing damage,but without memhack there is too little space for apps...

I almost never have multitask,i tried all kinds of settings and mumbo jumbo,in the end the result is the same,null.

In order for the reboots to stop,the screen response is slow.

And it was already bad after thecm6 0,04 version.

I admit that gingerbread is better looking,and we had no rreboots.

But it needs so much food and space...

So i went back to cm 6 after a while with cm7,since day one in fact.

Its all cool,multitask again,more room,but i again have random boots every now and then...

Grrrrrrrr...

My reboots always happen when i read tapatalk posts,or rss feeds,meaning,when i touch the screen for a "long" time and very slowly touching it...so i guess it has somethong to do ,again,with the screen drivers,again...

Oh come on motorola employees,could you be more inaficient???

I m to damn tired by now...

First of all, I've been using CM roms for a long time, so I want to thank you for your effort, really! Great Job :)

Second, is it just me or since the last update (24.4.11) iGO can't decode my location on real time? Anyone having the same issue or might have a solution?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I rolled back to the previous version and iGO seems to work just fine.

Reporting back on the maps freezing issue: unfortunately still there. Had 2 kernel panics and one battery pull since changing read ahead to 8.

:(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gs111:
Even set to 8, I'm still getting the gmaps hangup. It's not any worse that before, but I'm not convinced it's any better either.

Overall though, 7.0.1 - 4/24 works great for me. Gmaps is the only app that gives me trouble now, and battery life and performance is generally great! Multitasking is also good, and things are snappy.

FYI: Running 7.0.1 / 4-24, stock settings for memory, dsi, sd cache. No changes other than installing apps. No apps2ext either.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] warlock464:
wtf -.-

i installed 7.0.1 with full wipe ...

data wipe dalvik and cache ...

then i installed the gapps and make reboot ...

but there is no market -.-

can any 1 help me ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Why don't you try wiping all and flashing again? After you flash CM7, wipe Dalvik and Cache partition again before flashing Gapps, then wipe the caches again before applying baseband and rebooting phone.

is there already a file in CM7 that I can edit to make the changes or do I have to put those lines in myself in a new file and then into /system/etc/init.d/ ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
You want to change the value just after the echo, to the size you want. That script is at 2MB right now(2048) but you can go to 4MB(4096).

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gs111:
You have to put them into the /system/etc/init.d/

I have spent some time messing around with this cache setting, and while the increased cache definitely improved some benchmarks, it had no perceptible real-world effect on performance.

The default in CM7 is now 8, and that seems fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Yeah kabaldan mentioned he wants stability more than performance.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
are you on using ext2?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gs111:
No, I'm not using ext2.

I not sure that the read-ahead cache affects the ext partition on the SD though... the OS sees that partition as an internal drive, not the SD card, so I suspect that the cache won't impact it.

Someone would need to check the code to verify, or run some tests on that specifically.

One app is called "GPS Test" by Chartcross Limited.

I don't know why 2.2 kernel will auto reboot, stock 2.1 never reboots. This happens in official 2.2 rom too, Is that the "little screen and graphical performance problem" DSI workaround suppose to fix this ?

I remember someone mentioned getting blank screens with the latest release but I could find the posts. Is anyone getting this?

Sometimes, I trun on the screen but only the buttons light up, but the screen is black. If I touch the screen I can feel the haptic feedback so apparently it is working, it's just not showing the screen which is weird. It happened after I finished a call too.

I have to reboot when this happens. Clicking the power button to turn the screen off and then back on doesn't work, only battery pull or the CTRL+ALT+DEL in hw keyboard.

Try to guess which answer is the right one:

A) No, the DSI errors is a special feature of CyanogenMod for Milestone that I hacked into the froyo kernel despite the Motorola's signature check only to annoy CM users.

B) Yes, the stock froyo roms have DSI errors too. It's a kernel driver issue.

:D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
See http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=498

the kernel panics probably because you turn off the DSI bug fix word around

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] baoli:
Not sure if this is supposed to be happening but I just got a 32gb microsdhc and the phone reboots whenever it tries to mount the card. If it's plugged into USB and I switch back to charge only mode, it will reboot. Same if I just unplug the USB cable. Powering on the phone, it also does one of those quick reboots. Not sure if it's the ROM or the phone. I haven't had a lot of time to experiment but I'm probably going to try CM6 and the stock Froyo and see if it has the same problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Subbie171:
Wow how come i missed that! You are a genious! ...........
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
So I've been fiddling about with a few settings, and I've hit upon a config that gives me the best usability I've had in a very long time. Everything runs smoothly, including fairly heavy apps like Google Maps, Angry Birds (all versions) and X-Plane 9. I can multitask fairly well, switching between Google Mail, Pulse, Browser, Facebook and Twitter apps without delay and with all this, the battery lasts well. Best of all, I haven't experienced any reboots at all since implementing these settings.

So here's my config:

CMM 7.0.1 0.08-11.04.24

CPU min 250MHz, max 1000MHz, INTERACTIVE governor.

1GB EXT2 partition on supplied 8GB SD card (for apps2ext)

DSI Bug workaround ON

JIT OFF (to maximise available RAM)

Surface Dithering OFF (to maximise performance)

Allow Purging Assets ON (to free RAM)

Lock home in memory OFF (I use Launcher Pro and don't find I need this)

Lock messaging app in memory ON (don't want to lose messages)

VM heap size 16m (this seems to be the key to multitasking)

I don't use any task killers, memory optimisers, as they just use up RAM I'd rather have for running other things, and I don't use any other scripts or hacks to change system behaviour.

Hope this helps,

SF

Either the browser ignores the hosts file altogether or if thats not possible, have the hosts file disabled (renamed?) when the browser is launched.

Hey relax after all I was smiling ;)

Anyway I found a PROPER fix.

Seems that the hosts file uses a weird IP - 119.161.80.12

Everybody knows that the IP should be 127.0.0.1

So I opened up this file with notepad++ -> sdcard\OpenRecovery\utility\data\hosts

Then I did a search and replace (ctrl+h) in order to replace all instances of 119.161.80.12 with 127.0.0.1 in one fell swoop.

Next, I went to Open Recovery and applied the adblock in order to install the newly edited hosts file.

Now I have no browser Java freeze and no ads in apps! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jstockto2000:
If you look up 119.161.80.12, it is owned by bigtincan.com. They created the "AdFree Android" app...

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bigtincan.android.adfree

A few versions back it allowed you to forward ad requests to their server (which I guess is this address), but then disabled the feature due to it killing their server. My guess would be that the OR guys lifted a copy of the hosts created by this tool to include as a patch...

If you download the latest version from the market link above, then the app will update the host file and set the correct address of 127.0.0.1... it also allows you to check for updates and apply them without going near Open Recovery :D
