It's is very fast so far, the only major issue I faced is the Gmail one.

What bothers me is lack of Gingerbread-specific animations (so screef off & rotation), any chance to get them in the future?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alson041:
I noticed high quality video recording isn't working. It works at low quality settings, but that looks really terrible.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] stilo_msle:
the gmail is on version 2.3 this isnt the latest version.

someone tried to install gmail 2.3.2???
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pippocannelunghe:
I tried to remove gmail app through titanium backup and reinstalled from market without success..

Looking on internet, the only solution I found for that error is changing the code...

Just added the call to _webView.onDestroy in FBLoginActivity and FBPermissionActivity.

But it can't be true.. gmail isn't done by us, so the issue must be outside the app itself... Also, it is for sure related to a library (*.so), so I'm afraid that the problem is related to the kernel which is leaked from a froyo build and not built for Ginger...

Truly happy to be contradicted :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] P3dRo:
I deleted the Gmail in system app and installed again from the Market and I still get this bug.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edgardcastro:
Gmail problem is fixed, I will post later on an update. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pippocannelunghe:
how you did?

Please let us know :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edgardcastro:
It's an issue with JIT. Gingerbread doesn't seem to like being run without JIT for some reason. I had to re-enable it. However, you can't change that on the current release (just by changing on build.prop) because I'm actually forcing no-JIT.

I'm probably posting a new update within a few hours with a few bugs fixed. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] razer54:
can someone report for battery life under gigerbread ? :D

i will thank him !
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Snotmann:
Hello again,

i flashed it now with the androidiani open recovery and it worked for me now.

Thanks a lot edgardcastro

Is it possible to get it in german ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Beackman:
Hey edgar, where the overclock file is in, i cant find it in the terminal.

the root explorer give FC for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jackeh070:
You need to update root explorer to new version, which is Gingerbread compatible.

As for Gmail, you can always use the stock Mail application for now. No push, but 5min refresh isn't terrible, lacks some functionality, but gives you the basic (reading & writing emails)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Beackman:
great thx man. :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Snotmann:
Does everybody know how to get this rom to german ?

Is it possible to install a language paket or somesting like this :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pippocannelunghe:
How we could tell it right now?

We need time to try..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] max_avatar:
you are the best!!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pippocannelunghe:
Thanks mate!!!

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
No this one is not based on CM7, its stock AOSP Gingerbread
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nintendere:
So is anyone else experiencing massive Google Maps issues? Half the time I start the app it freezes right away - the only solution is to remove the battery. Is there any way to workaround the problem?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] OverDrive33:
I've been on b6 for a long time -- only issue was random reboots every other day or so. Upgraded to b7 yesterday and things are running smoothly (save for the hardware camera button freakout).

Thanks for this awesome release!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tamujun:
I sure will try! Will report later.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] casterboink:
Are you using the new kernel or old? Just wondering for the reboot issues. Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] casterboink:
Downloading, thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tamujun:
My bad bro, I am using B7 actually - has a few sluggish screen problem though. Overall still smooth and stable. I am downloding B3 and will try it soon.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] casterboink:
I am now currently running B6 and it seems to be as fast as B3. Will post feedback again after a week of use. I transferred Launcher pro in system/apps so doesn't experience a lot of launcher reload. I also did zipaligned all apps in AOR. Running at the default smartass governor and overclocked to 900MHz. Seems to be stable and still fast.

How do I know if I am running on the newer kernel. My kernel version is 2.6.32.9?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
How to zipalign apps ???

what is AOR ?? Androidiani open recovery ??

There is an option called "Zipalign Compatible with Eclair and Froyo"

Can this rom use this option to zipalign apps ??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Hey Edgard any news when the next version is released to fix the camera and hot boot bug? xD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] casterboink:
yes in androidiani open recovery, the zipalign works fine in this rom. its feels a lot smoother after I applied it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] casterboink:
I still don't have notification light working for calls and sms in B6. And it seems that B3 is faster especially in opening apps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
B3 is much faster and never lag (even after I play games and switch back to home)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Edwrib:
Anyone know how to change/add language in pico tts?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] deygun:
My browser always getting fc,really annoying. Using b7
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] politan:
B7 have few problems. FC, camera bug and slow scrolling. It's better to back to B6 + update kernel to newest.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
Are u using the newest kernel??

i have once tried it and found that the phone is a bit overheating.

The temp always stay at around 33 degree.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] billyng91:
No idea why, but B3 (new kernel built in) is even faster than B6+new kernel.

At first I was skeptical, how can an older build be faster than a newer one?

But after I flashed B3, I was blown away by it's speed.... and the supposedly RAM problems that B3 has? My answer is: what RAM problem? I am having so many services open, widgetsoid, gauge battery widget, tweetdeck, launcherpro, beautiful widgets, google maps, and I still have 67mb RAM free!

I can now safely conclude that B3 is the fastest ROM I ever had.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ilya11g:
Hi! Can anyone help me?

Link please FAQ or manual how to change hardware keyboard language layout. Want to type on HW keyboard on Russian.

Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
Yep, b3 is free of bug (so far I haven't discovered any).

The reason why b3 is so fast is that it would automatically kill background process.

But it is worth to try b3.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] billyng91:
Well James, not entirely free from issues though... The notifications LED will not work with SMS popup (by Adam k). It used to work when I was using froyo. LED works with gmail, tweetdeck, and the default SMS program though, so I suspect SMS popup is at fault here, not the ROM.

But its just a small annoyance and Im willing to trade that for the super-convienient gingerbread test selection grab-handles! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] isleepinabucket:
missing google sync

hi guys

sorry if this has already been answered but after applying this update i cant sync with google anymore... do i need to download a patch?

**EDIT - I am an idiot... i figured it out**
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
oh yes, you are right....

sms notification LED doesn't work
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mhnx:
Pretty cool ROM..

Very nice work. Congratulations devs.

The only problem I have is about density. I make density lower and some apps appear smaller on the screen. Maybe you could fix that.

Sincerely, Kostas Michos.

Android 2.3.3 update kills Nexus One Battery as well

See this article

http://phandroid.com/2011/03/04/android-2-3-3-gingerbread-update-killing-nexus-one-battery-life/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
what is the purpose of posting this article ??

We all have no battery drain problem~
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
I have tried diff. froyo version including Froyomod, cm6,

shadowmod is relatively better in term of battery life
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I'm just sharing info. Android 2.3.3 is gingerbread afterall.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
oh i see,

which RC version do shadowmod use ???

RC3 ???

when compared with the leaked 2.2 rom,

shadowmod consumes power more.

but compared with other custom roms,

shadowmod is ok or even better
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Stop confusing people, Shadow Mod is not based on Cyanogen7, its STOCK AOSP, cyanogen is custom aosp build, not all system files are the same, not the same optimizations, not the same memory tweaks, jit, and the list goes on and on, so you can't compare them, and the battery life is past any other rom even stock eclair, I get almost 2 days and a half with the latest china kernel, with wi-fi always on, and 3G, and moderate phone usage
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 340865669:
Feature From CM7?

Does this rom has the notification power widget,themes, ...(features in CM7)?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
No, this is the main shortcoming of shadowmod.....

hope edgardcastro will make an update
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] carthikv12:
How can I get even close to that kind of battery life? Got my phone only in august and i never overcharge my battery... With moderate use I can barely squeeze 24 hours before it drops below 20% With minimum use, I can get about a day and half of use... I'm running 1 Ghz @58vsel, 550@44, 250@22 and 125@18...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
you can probaby drop the 550 vsel by 10... making it 34 instead of 44.

mine...

1100@64

800@44

500@33

250@22
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
I didn't do anything special to get this kind of battery life, and the battery was calibrated from factory, I use the 1GHz low vsel overclock provided for this rom, so that would be 1GHz 60vsel, but as I said on other threads regarding OC this particular phone goes all the way up to 1.25GHz stable with vsel set between 74-76 .... so donno, to bad I need to send it to waranty because of the loose 3.5mm jack and loose slide..... and I never had problems with the new kernel's like reboots and things like that
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scores87:
when is Build 8 coming???
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
suddenly find that my notification light works when i receive message....:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
So in the end this ROM is dead? ..... No status updates from Edgard and not a sign if the development goes on..., sad....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mystichobo:
Moving city is a pretty big job, and I don't think edgards first priority would have been setting up a workstation and compiling the android source.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thunderownz:
I have a some question's :

Latest ROM: http://code.google.com/p/shadowmodbr...3b7-signed.zip

Overclock pack: http://code.google.com/p/shadowmodbr...clock-pack.zip

Older kernel: http://code.google.com/p/shadowmodbr...ed0-signed.zip [slower, more stable, default]

Newest kernel: http://code.google.com/p/shadowmodbr...c43-signed.zip [faster, less stable]

the first one is the rom right? and i install it like any rom?

the two is overclock? how i install it on my phone?

the kernel? what is it? and how i install it?

the last one... this rom is good? i'm now with Ho!no CM7 RC3

thx for the help!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
• The first link is the ROM you installed it via update with AOR.

• Second link is for OC, but... you have to unzip it and then choose the one you like and installed it as an update ( same process written above).

• And the last but not the least are the kernals,so... you have 2 : old and new one... choose which fits best on your device

No more progress on this Edgar???:(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thunderownz:
thx for the help :)

but how i istall it?

like this?

i put it in OpenRecovery>Updates

and than go to the OR>Miscellaneous menu>Apply updates

right? this is the rom.

but what is the kernel?

how i install it?

do you Recommend me on this rom?

i'm now with the CM7 Ho!no Mod RC3
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
Yep, just put the update.zip into the update folder in OR,

Apply update through OR

For the kernel, do the same thing stated above.

I would recommend u to try b3,

Fast, stable, good battery life
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] SouSoulebarbu:
Still no more progress?

It's almost the perfect rom, there is only one bug: the camera
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scores87:
official 2.2 has been released
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] SouSoulebarbu:
Yes but this rom is much better than the official 2.2!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abazel:
I really like this ROM because it's very fast and looks really ok. But, there are stability problems (gallery freeze, reboots, abnormal behaviour). Also, the "autokiller" is annoying... if you want to listen to music and play a game... the player gets killed instantly. Anyway, I can't wait for another update! Keep up the good work, Edgar!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Well, you can tweak it to your liking... check the supercharge link in my sig for suggested minfree settings
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abazel:
Bro... you are my hero! Now I can run PowerAMP and a game simultaneously without any issues at all!!! The games also run smoother, with the same CPU frequencies! Many thanks! :)) Best wishes from .ro!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
B3 is amazing...hope the b8 follow the same.

any one has new from Edgar?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
I don't think this rom will have any update~

anyway, b3 update zip will forever be saved in my sdcard because it is the most reliable, stable rom
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mystichobo:
Have a little faith. Shadowmod is one of the longest running roms for milestone (original was based on eclairmod iirc).

Plus, Edgard was moving house, I don't know about you, but after moving, my number 1 priority would not be devving.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
mystichobo, I know you develop hobomod based on this rom,

will u further develop your rom even without the update of this rom? ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] edgardcastro:
Sorry for the lack of news, but it took more time than expected to get settled on my new home.

Development will resume this weekend, so hopefully by the end of next week I will be able to get a new version out. :)

The good thing is that a lot have happened on the official 2.2 ROM and other developments, so B8 will probably be much better.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] khongnho:
Bravo.....bravo..............
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:

Fantastic!

This version is completely perfect!

I've upgraded from 2.2.1 (sbf file telus), made a full backup of the previous version, than using TitaniumBKP i've saved calllog/sms files and some major apps.

Full data wipe, dalvik wipe, than updated from Openrecovery 1.46.

After the instalation the OS restored some of my apps automatically (cool!).

Now it is working just fine, with 78 MB after installing ALL my previous apps!

Nice job! =)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ccrows:
I take it that this means that this mod will work with the Telus Milestone then?...

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
wow! thats a great news, i loved speed and stability of b6 but b7 had issues. hence waiting in anticipation for b8 without any camera bug.

any further news?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Hey Edgard, how is work on beta 8 going? :) any news? just curious
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bayngen:
Many Thanks to Edgard

New user who have never rooted phone or used a custom rom before.

Rooted my Milestone and installed ShadowMOD b7 as my 1st custom rom but without overclock. Sluggish when waking the unit or scrolling through app drawer. Unit freezes during gallery use or when multiple apps are running.

Quick battery drainage, especially while in call or using browser, Google navigation etc. My comparisons are to Froyo SHOLS_U2_05.26.

Overall I can't appreciate enough for the great effort and support from individuals like Edgard. If it wasn't for their hard work we will never be able to enjoy the new Android versions on our old phones. So THANKS and keep up the good work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] billyng91:
How about you try B3? General opinion around here is that B3 is the best. :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adishaswot:
how did u did that??

i too tried to flash with androidiani Open recover and the Screen is Stuck in flashing ANDROID text logo [After M logo] since last 20 Mins.. n m kinda scared... any ideas over here??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
1. Download the zip file (ROM):

2. Move the zip file (with a file explorer, the one you use) to /sdcard/openrecovery/updates

3. Boot your device into Recovery mode ( press x + power)

4. Go to apply update.zip from sd and you will get Androidiani OR running.

5. Go to apply updates and choose the zip file you have downloaded .

6. Enjoy the Rom.

PS: you can download the OCs and the kernels and play till you leave it as you like.

Hope it helps. :)

In the Google Groups of his ROM (where people talk in portuguese) he said that he would try to release B8 by Sunday, so, I believe that B8 it is about to be released. :)

how to use app2ext? I can't move app to SD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
app2ext cannot be used in this rom
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] indiacam:
it seems since edgardcastro abandoned this rom, everyone diverted to Froyomod 2.6.1.

Posting here after many days but was visiting always in a hope that build 8 will come, but sadly edgardcastro could not spare some time for b8. anyways bye all.:(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
If you like Ed work, then be patient. He has moved from one state to other, and also has started in a new job position.

In ShadowMOD BR Google Group he has stated yesterday that he is already making some tests to choose which kernel he will bundle with B8.

Yes, I know, it is difficult to wait, but I'm pretty sure that he has not abandoned the rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bayngen:
Same here, I have been checking this post daily for B8 news and would love to get a at least an status update from edgarcastro to keeps our hopes up.

Few posts back, HinotoriBR on Sunday the 3rd said that Edgar might post B8 on Sunday (Which Sunday?). Also on March 25, edgarcastro said that he should have the B8 by April 3rd. It is April 8 already but no update!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
Bros,

I am sure edgard is working on it.....

You know , he has promised

Just be patient, the best thing is always worth waiting:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
Don't looks so. There's no activity on github https://github.com/edgard
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ilya11g:

Maybe he has problems more important than b8 right now;)... Just be patient, he will update the Shadowmod!

Sorry but that was only a doubt and not information. What you provided is an information and we are thankful for that. Else how we will know whats going on. It was already told by ED that he is working on B8 will release it by sunday. Anyways there is nothing wrong in wishing and waiting eagerly for good things in life (and milestone).

I still think ED can always put ONELINERS from his device to keep us updated and also to monitor his thread quickly. But I still agree that he must be attending something more important than b8. Anyways we are waiting.....for the best gb rom found till date.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abazel:
bad post ^^
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
May i ask where edgard reports the status of development ??

Can u post the website??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
Sure, the main site for information and to contact Ed about issues and development:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups&pli=1#!forum/shadowmodbr

And the main page of his work:

http://code.google.com/p/shadowmodbr/

Notice that Edgard doesn't promote 2.3.3 in his website as he thinks that Froyo is the main/most stable branch, he will promote 2.3.3 as the main ShadowMOD as it reaches the stability and reliability needed, altough you will find all version in the downloads section. You can also report bugs/issues there in the issues section.

Both sites are mostly in Portuguese, but I believe that there are some persons that can speak english and respond there if you need.
