@kabaldan

At first, this build is running faster and smoother than ever but after being on for about two days the phone gets slower and slower. The haptic feedback reacts a few seconds too late and even the music starts lagging, if you turn it on. On a German community, android-hilfe there are some other users who experience the same thing.

I hope you might know, where this problem comes from. If the phone would keep the same performance like after boot, it would be perfect.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
Do you have ZRam and/or swap enabled?

If yes, then try to disable them or at least zram. And keep your swapfile as small as possible.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] papadawgg:
I forgot to mention that it happens with or without Swap/zRam so its not about Swap.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] captainhase:
Hey folks, i want to update a friends milestone from a july build of this rom to the new one. What i have to do? I understand that there is something new with the recovery and the kernel. Can i download the zip file as usual and flash it through the recovery, or have i to do anything before that?

Thanks in advanced
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
You don't have to do anything else than just flashing the .zip as ususal.

But the new recovery versions fix some SD card issues, enable battery charging in recovery and offer some other advanced convenience features.

Newest CM versions use a custom kernel which allows usage of swap file (RAM expansion in flash memory), compcache (compression of RAM) and other optimizations (additional free RAM when not using camera, ...)

But like said in the first line - make a nandroid, apply .zip, wipe caches and you're good to go.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cavihit:
hi, i do, but i'm not sure if it's the same as yours. during heavy loads my connection will stop working (but stays "connected", pings will timeout). eg tumblr will almost always kill my connection (but also browsing image-heavy websites in the browser, so as to say it is not tumblr specific). toggling wifi off and on will get it working again. afaik this has always happened to me with cm7, but not in miui so i don't think it's a router imposed limit/problem. logcat doesn't say anything... i mean i have to assume it's related to memory somehow, not sure. anyone else have this problem?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
Hey Kabaldan, just wondering how you got ChainFire3D to work? I can't seem to install the drivers... Any advice?

Thanks!

-Luigi
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
I used CF3D without any issues in the summer.

What is your error msg or where does the installation stuck?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
Wow I just realized my superuser app mysteriously uninstalled itself.. I reinstalled and now it works. Sorry for the confusion :S
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] d.casper.b:
I'm having issues with my GPS, if I leave it on, the notification bar icon for the GPS is displayed more often than not, where it would usually only display very shortly and very rarely - unless an app was using it of course. I'm not sure it's an application that's causing it. It had done it before, but I had since flashed the phone after a factory reset, but it is back again. Anyone else getting this? I have got HD Widgets and it is set to geolocate, but previously it didn't cause this to happen, so I'm not convinced, and I tried freezing HD Widgets, but the icon persisted. I've cleared dalvik and cache partition, and then reflashed 7.2.4b, but to no avail. Any ideas?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mantokoski7:
I have returned to CM7 because CM10 was just too laggy even without swap. Indeed the problems I had earlier with 7.2.4 were because of too large swap. Now I have 7.2.4b with 32MB swap (swappiness 10) and so far it works nicely and I still get smooth multitasking.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Thanks for the report.

While I haven't experienced any delayed haptic feedback and slowdowns so far (other than those caused by too big swap[including zram] used / too high swappiness set), I was able to reproduce the conditions where audio drop outs occur while music is playing in background.

Is that the 'music lagging' you meant?

Please, try to turn off the Kernel Samepage Merging and let me know if it helps to reduce the audio drop outs.

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run

While this feature helps to reduce the amount of RAM in use, it might cause CPU usage spikes that might result in audio buffer underflows.

Note that KSM is currently being enabled during boot, so you need to turn it off after every reboot.

Besides turning of the KSM (if some audio drop-outs still persist), sdcard read_ahead_kb can be increased to further reduce the chance of audio drop-out occurrence.

echo 512 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/bdi/read_ahead_kb

(the default is currently set to 256)

Anyone who has been experiencing drop-outs in audio, please let me know whether/how are the above mentioned tweaks working for you. Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] douglasroos:
Thanks for the great work made with this ROM, is amazing!

Anyone else having problems with Skype App? If i do a call it hangs few seconds later, turn off my wifi and connects to the 3G network, is really annoying, anyone else having this issue?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
I hardly listen to music on my phone but I also noticed the haptic feedback of the soft keys being delayed after ~24h uptime.

I'll try the samepage merging disabling command too :cowboy:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] koodiifin:
I can confirm a serious system slowdown including haptic feedback lag, music lag, and overall app performance is degraded after a few days of uptime.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
Same here.

Edit: Not using Swap or compcache. Class 10 sd card too (but irrelevant since I'm not using swap).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Maniaccc:
Same here too.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tmingcheung:
Same here.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] -FuFu-:
i thinks that some people who have problems with audio drops have a slow sdcard...

i have 2 devices, both with cm7 only difference is the sdcard, in 1 device i have a 32gb class 10 and in the other one a 8gb class 4...

on the device with the class 4 card i have audio drops on the other one i have no audio drops...

i thinks the problem is ext partition + fat access the same time is very slow, but when i kill all apps thats on the ext partition i have no audio drops anymore...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kapuan1:
nope, have no ext partition, no swap, no compache but have sd class 10 and i have lag too :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BoyBawang2:
To all those who experience slowdown after days of use: Please state the tweaks you applied like Overclock frequency, partition, swap file, etc.

thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] papadawgg:
I would be ready to activate the built in logger for a few days to make the debuggin easier, but first I want to know, if any private stuff, such as the numbers i call, my contacts etc would be shown up.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
I seriously doubt it. I think it can only log system functions.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
TO EVERYONE EXPERIENCING SLUGGISHNESS!!!

I had the same issue. I decided to try raising the vsel values of the overclock file, since I had lowered them to conserve battery. It seems raising each level by 2 has solved the issue for the time being. Very curious to see if anyone else experiencing sluggishness also lowered the vsels. Good luck!

Update: After 3 days the sluggishness is back. Sad times :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] koodiifin:
I havent modded anything and I still get it.

Oc to 1000mhz on demand gov

No ext partition, no swap.

Pretty much stock install and I had the sluggishness after a few days.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
I've always used custom vsel with overclock to 1,1 GHz, maybe because of that I never experienced slowdowns even after 6 days without rebooting.

No swap, no compcache
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] koodiifin:
Hi there, what file do you modify for custom overclocking? Could you possibly upload your config file, so I can use it as reference? Thank you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] clmta:
Hi

I have also lag when using the phone during a day. I am using standard vsel (7.2.4b), no zcomp, swap in /cache leaving 20M free (it is arround 72M SWAP). After a day of usage I have 32Mb used.

I also add the kernel and swappiness changes

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run

echo 512 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/bdi/read_ahead_kb

swappiness in 10

First test was with 16M swap, at 5 minutes system was using 50 to 100% cpu and free show 0 bytes free at swap.So I retuned to 72MB swap.

I notice

- much cpu usage (I use Micro CPU Monitor that shows a thin line at top of display), 100% peaks

- begining after start the phone response is good.

- less problem with music, but there are some moment that music hangs (I use bluetooth with music 2hs per day)

- after several hours of usage, change from application to other (like change music to handcent sms) is very slow, but using 100% cpu.

- battery was drain a lot, today was 13hs of usage (until 5%) and normally is 18 to 20 hours.

- wifi hangs, changing the green icon to white. So I need to turn wifi off, wait a couple of minutes, and turn on again.

I hope this help.

Regards,

Claudio.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] maango:
Been having problem with my camera lately, the autofocus is mostly not responding at all but just takes the photo with the current focus distance set (giving me unusable pictures)

WiFi turns white and needs to be toggled off/on before working again. Sometimes flightmode needs to be used aswell.

Z and Y on the physical keyboard has switched, meaning i need to press z to type y. Using the ALT and ; button at the same time is not working aswell as some other commands.

Any ideas?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
Check into Settings->Specific options (something like that)->keyboard char-map.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ayama.:
Huge thanks to developers for this ROM! Latest release is new level of performance and smoothness. And no overheating in car dock at last!!

Some stupid thing... can't unlock my phone from lockscreen. Don't know the it's name, but it's standard CM lockscreen. It's a slider in the bottom of screen. It contains 02:03 (time) and Sunday, December 2. Also Lock icon in center and arrows on sides.

When i move it down, screen dosn't unlock.

Need help!

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] papadawgg:
I had the logger on for about 2 days untill my phone got crashed by a game (I think its because Fansashooting is not optimized enough for milestone). There was a slowdown of the phone, again, compared to the performance right after boot and I hope, you might find out where it comes from.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ayama.:
Solved. Just called from another phone, got access to desktop.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] oVeRdOsE.:
mmm, good point.

On 7.2.4 I had no problem at all. I put manualy vsel values in the .zip before flashing. ( values given by the op some pages back).

After, I flashed 7.2.4b and I had hard time with the phone. About 10 seconds freezing after launching any apps. (I tried it with swap and no swap, same results).

I'll try to put the same vsel values.

EDIT : well, I did a full wipe and everything is back to normal. You cant put 7.2.4b over 7.2.4.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tmingcheung:
Hi, this is my log file.:o

I do experience lag after about 30-40 hours of up times, including haptic feedback delay...

I have no sd-ext and only Zram of 18%.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] krondar:
It's strange. I upgraded from 7.2.4 to 7.2.4a, then 7.2.4b and it's all ok. ZRAM on 10%, o/c:

800 52vsel

700 52vsel

550 52vsel

400 default

250 default

It's a fourth day of usage today, charged on tuesday night. I got 53% (early morning) and it's all fine, no stuttering etc.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] papadawgg:
Could you lower your vsels, pls, to check if the lagging would happened to you? Because even with the stock 10overclock I get these slowdowns.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gambarini:
no 1000?

seems the problem is related to this clock and its relative voltage!

and in my experience the problem starts after 5 days or more...

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 AM ----------

is it possible to test varoius oc and voltage without reflash the rom?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] _crAss_:
Before going to 7.2.4b I never had the stammering problem.

Right now it makes me reboot every couple of days and I have even lost one call...the phone started vibrating, the ringtone was played in 2 second parts with another 2 seconds of nothing in between, and before the screen finally turned on after about 30 seconds the caller had hanged up.

I upped the vsel for 1 GHz to 66 and it seems to be ok for the past 10 hours...Will post again after 20-30 more hours to see if this is the problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] krondar:
If I lower the vsels i will have restarts. I checked it. With 550Mhz 52 is a stable minimum. What is funny - same thing with 800. 51 there gave me ocasional reboots...

And yes - No 1000Mhz. It's too fast killing my battery. With Lightning Launcher all is smooth. One thing - I don't play.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] _crAss_:
I have tried to use the phone as hard as I could. No stammering problem so far, incoming calls and alarms. With a vsel at 66 for 1GHz the problems went away. I use swap, 44 MB, swapiness set at 10 in the internal memory of the device. I have also installed zeppelinrox script set for multitasking. The phone works like a charm now that the stammering problem is solved and I can easily listen to music, have skype, facebook and mercury messenger on, while listening to music and surfing the net...I don't need any more than this, maybe the transitions from program to program need 1-3 seconds, but who cares - it is an old device after all.

But of course now that I have everything running flawlessly in CM7 I starting to think again about jelly bean :P.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Erovia:
New build available. CM7.2.4c
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] _crAss_:
I am sorry for the misinformation...the higher vsel probably delayed the appearance of the problem, but it got back again :(

I am downloading the new version which includes some fixes for the problem now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] koodiifin:
cool, let me know how the new build is.

I had to go back to Eclair because of the lag, its much faster, but its still eclair LOL.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] madwyn:
I have to say THANK YOU, thank you for keeping the old and classic milestone updating, and thank you for keeping me playing with this old fella with new ROMs while I am waiting for my NEXUS 4.

The CyanogenMod you maintained are the best ROMs for milestone ever!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fzelle:
And for people that have probems with wifi ( connected to a wifi-N router )

http://chromloop.com/2011/09/how-to...roblem-wifi-connected-but-no-internet-access/

@kabaldan:

Could you please switch of the ht_enabled as a default, because the wifi isn't really working then.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jerminhu:
Can anyone recommend some easy-to-apply themes for this amazing rom?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] papadawgg:
I testted the newest version and it runs as fast and smooth as the previous one. But the slowdowns after few days are still happening and I have no clue, where they come from.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Updated, no problems for now. And no slowdowns with my vsel

echo "5 1100000000 64" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

echo "4 900000000 52" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

echo "3 700000000 48" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

echo "2 500000000 36" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

echo "1 250000000 25" > /proc/overclock/mpu_opps

But, most important for me is the "fix unwanted lcd-backlight activation by camera button while the screen is off". Now I finally know what caused it so frequently.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nagabushan.c:
New version is Liquid smooth .. getting almost 100MB free RAM
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenomorph150:
I've got problems with wifi and mobile data connectivity and keep on losing both of them...

I try to reapply the update again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Eiertschik:
No problems here.

Though Ingress' performance is somewhat strange.

It looks like an OOM situation, but hitting Home immediately brings me to the launcher and starting the app again even takes me back to the last point - so it doesn't even close in the background.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] oVeRdOsE.:
Well, all the android phones that I touched were slow after a few days.

I think is more an android problem.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Test build with built-in call recording feature: http://d-h.st/E8X

Call recording can be enabled under Settings>Call

Recordings are stored in /sdcard/CallRecordings

This build is using proprietary libaudio from Defy+ firmware (to be able to record call audio without beeps), therefore there can be some audio playback or recording issues that I missed. Please, let me know if you spot anything wrong. Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zankyw:
Here's a request to anybody who is using the ROM right now:

could you post a screenshot (when your Milestone is connected via USB to the computer) of the menu where you have the options of 'Charge Only', 'Memory card access' window?

The screen of my Milestone is dead, and it would be relatively useful for me to be able to enable the USB memory card access blindly if someone can upload the screenshot.

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ShinG0:
I've just applied the last official update cm-7.2.4c-umts_sholes.zip and now almost all of my heavy games (like Need for Speed: Most Wanted) have some kind of sound dropping cutting glitches, with or without SWAP - it is the same. It's like missing a lot of sound frames and some sounds are keep repeating and repeating - very annoying - I can't play like that - I did not have this issue with cm-7.2.4b-umts_sholes.zip.

I went back to cm-7.2.4b-umts_sholes.zip and voila - the games are back to normal without the cutting drop sound glitch. I dunno, but there is something wrong with cm-7.2.4c-umts_sholes.zip, which interact with the sound of some heavy games. This could have something to do with the update "- kernel: increased DAC fifo size to 16384 to reduce the chance of audio drop-outs" - I dunno - I'm just not that into it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
You can use "adb pull /sdcard/<folder name>" from command line to get all the files you want.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Need for Speed: Most Wanted is rather expensive paid app. Is there any free alternative that would allow me to reproduce the issue?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ShinG0:
Sorry I have not tested the new version with free games, maybe tomorrow when I have more time, but anyway - I can run some kind of debug/log generating software or whatever you say in order to collect more helpful information of what the problem could be.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
That is why I go thru my Battery Charging ritual everytime I want to flash a new ROM to calibrate the battery level with the new ROM as I suspect the new ROM will consider whatever condition the state of the battery is/was at the time of flashing as 100%.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Mmm alright .. i can try try it too. :)

i'm considering switching to the older beta kernal since I saw this note by nadlabak
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Cant wait for the update.zip for app2ext for CM7. Awesome. Big Thank You
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Can I ask about DSPManager here?

Does anyone has any preset screenshots of a good EQ for bass and/or treble? :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
It's been 2 days, and no random reboot for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Yeah I had done the bump charging thing in the past.

One guide said to repeat it 10 times.... lol... battery in, get the green light, take it out... put it back in, green light, out again, etc...

I think 3 times is enough anyway.

Edit: I really like your guide though especially because you say to leave it charging an extra 15 minutes or wait until the batter is cool to unplug it.

I find that if I don't leave it plugged in that extra bit of time, the battery level will go down from 4200mV to 4100mv very quickly.

In the morning, after it's been plugged in all night, it stays above 4100mV much longer.

The nandroid that I restored was my own but I don't think the battery was calibrated at the time that I made the nandroid, since I sometimes get impatient and just want to get stuff installed. I only worry about the calibration when I know that I will be sticking with the current setup.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
It has random to CM logo once for me. And freezes when the phone is heavy usage (like opening Facebook?) ...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Ok glad that you also perform the bump charging technique.

I agree with you on your observation of the battery voltage dropping when u pull the cable out. It may say 4200mV but when u pull the cable out, it drops to 4100mV or even below sometimes.

For me, if I leave my phone plug in to the charger overnights, the next morning when I wake up, it will show 4202mV and when I unplug it from the charger, it drops to 4156mV or sometimes 4178mV.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
attached, use update from Open Recovery to install

you need to create ext2 partition yourself, as usual backup your data first
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
Would that be possible to have some script making data2ext (data/data to /sd-ext/data) possible? Or is it kernel issue that this is not possible for milestone?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
yes, this app2ext intended to do so. for the first time, this script also moves/migrates /data/app (in phone) to /sd-ext/data (ext2)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 1onew0lf:
awesome rom

hello.... i have been using the CM7 rom for almost 24 hours now ..... no random reboots for me and the phone is absoluetely screaming fast ..... this is just an awesome rom ..... battery life is also good ....

one small thing ..... opening the gallery app crashes the phone and it reboots ..... but its no biggie ... just downloaded another gallery app from market ....

thanks a lot for this awesome rom and keep up the good work man .....

peace
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
do you have issue with Video Recording? (update-cm-7.0.0-RC2-0.07-11.02.23-Milestone-signed)

Camera is just fine, taking still photo works.

but when recording video, only show time counter and hang. and resulted file is unrecognized
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
Yup, that's app2ext (to move /data/app、/data/app-private、/data/dalvik-cache from system to ext partition).

But data2ext is even more. It can move /data/data from system to ext partition so that the I/O performance will boost up by using fast card (e.g. class 6 or up).

There's data2ext for quite a lot of HTC device so I just wonder if there's data2ext on top of app2ext that is already existed to milestone.
