on another topic completely....

i seem to remember that while i was at the bar the other night i stumbled purely by accident on a setting somewhere that allowed user specification of the device hostname presented to other local network devices. i later confirmed by looking at my router that my phone now has a hostname ("android-*hex string*" where previously the entry would just be blank) but i cannot for the life of me seem to find the means to change it i happened upon the other evening.

can anyone point me in the right direction? did i imagine this?

My battery gets to 38C after a couple minutes of usage.. left part of the keyboard gets quite hot, too.. Doesnt really feel good. Had the same problem with the latest miui rom, that's why I switched to CM7. Even clocking the phone hat 800 or even 600MHz solves this.. :/

The beta kernel had a module which showed the actual CPU temperature, is it possible to implement this in the released kernel?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
That happened to me too. I had originally installed a bunch of apps before I discovered how to use apps2ext. After I installed apps2ext, I could install many more apps, but my internal storage space was still becoming depleted and was down to 52MB free.

Last night I performed a data backup (with My Backup Pro) and then performed a factory reset. Once I had the system booted with the apps2ext script mapping my app and dalvik cache directories over to /sd-ext I then re-installed all my apps. This time around, everything is installed and I am using only 36MB of internal storage, with 161MB reported as being free.

A side effect of the reset is that the phone is running a little faster and I have much more free memory. Can't say for sure yet since it's been less than 24 hours, but battery consumption seems a little better too. It could just be that I've forgotten to re-install something that was eating my RAM and battery, but I'm pretty sure nearly everything is as it was. The only thing I've definitely done differently this time: I used to always set Gmail to sync 90 days of inbox and all of sent items and certain storage folders. Perhaps the moral of the story is that Android is like Windows. Regular re-installs pay dividends...

Much happier now!

Cracked! The Keys to Unlocking Motorola’s Bootloader

@Kabaldan

I don't know how true this is and I'm not a developer to understand this, but I came across an article today (sorry if this has been posted already) in which it's being stated that the key for the bootloader for Android Motorola Devices has been cracked, if this is the case maybe you and your team would like to take a look at it and see if it helps:

Hey there, need a bit more guidance with the keep in memory function ie sys.keep_app , and clarifcation on the CM settings

A. re: CM settings:

whenever you change something with CM settings, say the DSI kernel bug or Heap size, does it change the build.prop under /system or somewhere else? I check build.prop between CM setting changes and build.prop is unchanged.sys.keep_app_1

B. re: sys.keep_app

my intent is to keep 2 "home" apps in memory - prehome + adw launcher. I added both apps correct process names to the sys.keep_app entries, adw launcher still keeps getting redraws. So should it be or.adwfreak.launcher or android.process.acore?

Help me plz but only if you can

few days ago I decided to move to "Cyanogen Mod" (kabaldan),

and i did the move from EXT2 to EXT4 and here what I did

ext2 to ext3 convert:
boot to AOR and pick a console
umount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/system/bin/e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/system/bin/tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

ext3 to ext4:
first two step is same as before
/system/bin/tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/system/bin/e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

and now I tried the Ginger MIUI but then my EXT4 partition dont work

and it writes me this

The superblock could not read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem.
if the device is vaild and is really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else),
then the superblock is corrupt.
and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

I really need help on this bcuz my 8gb sd card now have 6gb how do I fix this?

it will be great if you can post here the lines to write in the terminal and explain it to me a bit

BTW im back on cyanogen for good bcuz of that good built in hebrew

Flashed Gingerbread CM7 custom ROM.

My review : Ok everything stock Gingerbread, GUI is nice. Got its own overclocking governor so OC'ed to 1Ghz without any issues (MIUI take some tinkering to OC). Free RAM after boot was 56MB, not bad but it still lags! And what.. no market?! Flashing to another ROM.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Koko0:
why all of the overclock apps cant get over 1000mhz?

milestone overclock doesnt get the clock (0) and all the others do nothing. i want 1200 mhz like i had before.

if i do 1100 from the recovery i cant boot (m logo)

another thing, it matters if i flash the official 2.2 sbf and then update the zip?

how can i check if i flashed 2.2 or 2.1 earlier?

and btw my boot time is very long...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Snoere:
flash memory and journaling file systems

I'm wondering why so many of you guys are using EXT3 oder EXT4 for your second partition on your microSD card...

I prefer plain old EXT2, because it's an old fashioned non-journaling file system.

There are two points you should regard here:

1) Journaling means write overhead. Every time there is a write access to the SD card, there's another write access for updating the journal. MicroSD cards are quite slow when it comes to writing speeds, so using any journaling fs isn't a good idea.

2) Flash memory still has a limited lifetime. Using journaling increases write access a lot. Also not a good idea.

A Google search should give you enough information.

Eg.:

http://linux.koolsolutions.com/2009/01/29/installing-linux-on-usb-part-3-which-linux-filesystem-for-usb-devices/

Wikipedia on EXT2:

If you're using EXT4, it's possible to turn off journaling, but despite of that I don't see any advantage for small and slow flash based storage.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Journal is good for data safety.

You can't buy SD card that does not use wear levelling nowadays. (And they are so cheap anyway ;) .)

nadbalk just pushed a new version on his github.

"update-cm-7.0.1-0.08-11.04.24-Milestone-signed.zip"
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I think milestone overclock uses 80 vsel for 1200mhz... that's alot.

You can edit the 10overclock file to whatever you want though.

I'm at 1100mhz at 64vsel but you probably need more since you bootloop with AOR's vsel values which is 65 for 1100.

So for 1100, you probably need 68-70
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rcummings100:
This may be a dumb question, but I'm totally new to the custom ROMs scene. Can I just flash the 11.04.24 update safely over top of my 11.04.18b version? Or do I have to do a full wipe and reinstall all programs/data from scratch again? I'm using titanium backup, so not a big deal...but if I can avoid the reinstalls that would be great.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
You should be able to just wipe dalvik and regular cache and then flash the 11.04.24 ROM fine. Don't forget to change baseband as well!

microSD cards and journaling fs - more questions

Hi Nadlabak, thanks for your comment. I'm really interested to get the full picture on this topic...

Yes, I know that. I won't run any computer/laptop without journaling... But I still think it's not a good idea with slow SD cards.

I'm not sure about that. It's difficult to find detailed manufacturer information for SD cards. And some hardware devs report that wear levelling doesn't work reliable with journaling (eg this dev here).

I found some information that wear levelling is not specified for SD cards, so it depends on manufacturers if and how they implement this.

Beside of that there's still the performance issue. I wasn't able to test it myself, but there must be an impact on write performance because of the additional write cycles for saving the journal. Maybe reading speed is not affected, but some journaling fs (eg NTFS) keep a log of any file access.

I'm not sure about the impact of decreased write speeds in real life if you keep cashes on system partition, because many apps keep their data on the FAT partition.

It's difficult for me to decide on this. Nobody is able to provide long-term experience with EXT3/EXT4 on a smart phone and I didn't saw any benchmarks comparing EXT2 and EXT3/4 performance.

Any further information on this topic is appreciated.

With CM7 and other new ROMs (such as FroyoMOD and MIUI), app2ext support is built-in so all you need to do is prepare your microsd. Typical ext2 partitions range from 500MB to 1GB.
