do you have any suggestion for my?

thanks

My SiMi Clock Widget also stopped on me when I had JIT enabled. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Whoa, this thing really works o.0! Music, Tapatalk, and Browser working in back(site with lot of flash ads). I switched back from Tapatalk to Browser few times, and browser page didn't reload :). Plus, Im using Beautiful Widgets, that app never force closed for me(now only clock on homescreen, usually weather + clock). AND no redraw at all (using ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1) after doing this testing. Now, I should install Gameloft game and make it force close to test redraws :P.

Btw, JIT enabled...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] JCeppli:
Anyone have problems with internet browser?

it's slower on my phone, and sometimes doesn't work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] boooourns:
Here's a bit of a weird issue. Anyone know why my battery would drain extremely fast while at work. I'm connect to our WiFi network pretty much the entire time, but for one reason or another in about 8 hours my phone will go from 90% - 40/30%. But when I'm at home, connected to wifi, my battery will go down 20%-30% in like 12-15 hours. What's up with this. Is there any way for me to figure out what's causing this? This is not just a one off, it happens pretty much every time.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Try to set the wifi sleep policy to "never".
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
wow, ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 really seems to make a difference. No more redraws from launcher pro! Only thing now is Whatsapp closing a lot when I open the main window. If I open it directly into the message window it's not a problem.

Kabaldan, could you explain what the difference is between this ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 entry and the CM-way of keeping home in memory?

Maps worked perfectly on the way home, everything except whatsapp works great!

JIT still disabled btw.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I was about to uninstall TWC because the widget was eating too much resources but decided to keep it because it doesn't run in memory if the widget isn't used. So I keep it as a good "second opinion".

Accuweather... no

Fancy Widget... no way

WeatherBug.... EFF THAT... bug indeed... I disabled follow my location, disabled battery monitoring... disabled the widget.. and it still sucked my phone dry... geeez...

WeatherEye's widget ain't too pretty, but it barely uses any resources and the app itself is quite nice.

For a third and fourth opinion, I have bookmarks on my desktop for environment canada weather (the radar rocks) and a link to accuweather's mobile radar.

(I work outdoors... hence my having to keep on top of the weather lol)

I'm glad you got JIT working while keeping the widgets alive. :)

I gotta get me that Autokiller thingie right now :D

In the long run,

JIT will probably also help battery performance

because the cpu only has to work half as hard as before.

I've always had that line in local.prop since I was crazy enough to use AOR's memory management and I also enabled CM's option of keeping home in memory.

So I'm curious about this too...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] boooourns:
I already have it set to this.

It's so weird, is it possible that certain WIFI security types use more battery than others? Also, my signal is significantly weaker at work than at home, might this cause more battery drain?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Sometimes, you actually rather want your launcher to be killed. Sometimes the 226MB RAM available on Milestone is simply not enough to run a memory hungry app while keeping your home app in memory. Better to kill the launcher than to crash the app you are attempting to use.

Lock home in memory option changes the home app oom_adj to the same value as the visible app has, making it less susceptible to be killed by the low memory killer.

see https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr.../server/am/ActivityManagerService.java#L11598
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
So, setting ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 means that we are giving the highest priority to home app, right? While through the CM menu it gives the same priority as the current app but home app could be killed if the current app needs more memory than it's available. Did I get it right?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
As the ro.VISIBLE_APP_ADJ is defined in init.rc script as 1, setting ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 and using the "Lock home in memory" option (=> HOME_APP_ADJ=VISIBLE_APP_ADJ) is equivalent.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Is equivalent yet some people are feeling the difference? Or just mind playing tricks? :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Would there be any ill effect if I have home locked in memory through CM

and

AOR?

About those memory management values....

Previously I had posted the default AOR values as 6146, 8208, 16416, 20520, 22528, 24572.

I thought those were megabytes but AKMO translates those numbers like so...

AOR Default ==== 24, 32, 64, 80, 88, 96

AOR Mild ====== 24, 32, 64, 80, 128, 160

AOR Aggressive = 24, 48, 64, 328, 356, 388

Holy shizzle! :eek:

My apologies to whoever activated AOR's mild memory management due to my post about it.

Look on the bright side, I was using AOR's mem management since I had the phone!

I hacked the phone the day after I got it so I thought that the phone was running the way it was supposed to be running :P

At least we learned a bit more about what's going on "under the hood" :D

Big thanks to salisbury_steak for recommending AKMO :)

Now... lets see how this puppy goes with proper memory management...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
@kabaldan: Thanks for clearing out home tweaks, most of us have always thought that one was better than the other. :-P

@zepp: I went back to the Weather Channel. Mainly due to it's insane support for a ton of locations. I tried weather eye, and it cannot find two our of the three locations that I plug in with TWC. (I'm in the Philippines.)

And yep, AOR's mem management is insane. (They might work really well if you are on Eclair though.) Glad you liked AKMO. You can find more info in the dev's site.

I just updated my settings to 6, 8, 10, 18, 30, 40. I noticed that this way, one of my more demanding apps, syncmypix, is running well. (Need a few more days to try that out though.)

Just a few minutes ago, I noticed that my mclock suddenly stopped again, I opened osmonitor (another one of 'em great free apps in the market), and I noticed that there were two instances of LP+ running. Both chomping 27MB and 23MB each, for a total of 50MB!

Because of this, I am seriously considering trying ADW EX. I was holding on to LP+ for a supposed new Launcher experience once he recodes everything. In the meantime, ADW EX's supposed optimized codes look tempting.

Anyone else using other quick and light launchers? Zeam or go?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Hi. Yeah I stopped using LP too because his codes are rather old compared to the new Launchers nowadays. So until Fede decides to release his new LP, I am staying with GO Launcher. Zeam is no longer in development already. GO is good it seems. Some screenshots for you:

I believe that akmo can keep apps alive and have that setting reinstated on reboot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ridsama:
Loving this rom so far. Battery is actually the same or better than cm6. Question, where is the option to keep home screen in portrait mode? There were options in cm6 to keep it from rotating. Can't find it in cm7.

Another quirky thing, how to keep the camera from constantly re-focusing? Like when using google goggles.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mystichobo:
I agree, I'm getting pretty awesome battery life too, using a slimmed down version of this.

Have a look in display in settings and turn auto rotate off to fix the screen in one layout :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cool bean:
OK, this is REALLY nice! How do I get this on my phone?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Thanks. Well actually is just themeing my phone. Changing the dock icons and using widgets on the homescreen to create that look.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aumkar:
Hm, I have JIT on, but I'm going to take out "Keep Launcher in Memory" cuz I'm using the MetroUI launcher which is pretty lightweight and since it has no widgets, won't drain battery either.

However, everytime I got a message on Whatsapp this morning, I'd get the FC message. However I'd be able to click the notification and get the message anyway. I wonder why it's FC'ing.

Any one else having camera problems?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cool bean:
Are these widgets and themes downloadable from market? What are their names?

do I need to install Go Launcher to get this look?if so, how do I install Go launcher?

Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
ADW EX here, working perfectly and faster than LP+, never went higher than 22mb.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
@bryan: Thanks for the tip Bryan. I downloaded Go Launcher Ex earlier and so far, I like it.

I like how it takes features from different launchers and merges it into one.

I will still try it out for a few days, but this already looks like a keeper. :)

@phobic: Lol. Thanks for the tip.

@zepp: AKMO does have a setting to reinstate it's minfree values. But, I don't know if it has a setting to specifically keep certain apps alive.

@ridsama: It would depend on the launcher that you are using.

@cool bean: You can use different types of launchers. You may also want to check these threads out:

@aumkar: how much RAM is whatsapp using?

@gigante: Have you tried lowering quality from superfine to normal?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aumkar:
Right now it says 19K
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
That's weird. I only use maps, aircontrol and whatsapp as 'big' apps.

When I was using the CM +LP way to lock (maybe THAT's the problem, using both) I got redraws coming back from practically any app I started.

Now that's not the case anymore, but the 'big' apps generally have no problems.

It's only whatsapp now that closes after opening, but when I use a shortcut to a single message thread from a contact there is no problem. It could be a whatsapp problem?

Air control states a warning that memory is low, but doesn't crash.

that's weird. I use LP's own memory display and I never get above the 20MB. Usually between 14-17. But I only use 4 homescreens, 4 apps and 2 LP widgets (facebook + calender)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Hi,

The widgets on my Homescreen are:

SiMi Clock Widget

SMS Unread Count

Smooth Calendar

Last Call Widget

And my launcher is GO Launcher.

No you do not need GO Launcher to create these effect. I believe LauncherPro also can do it. :)

My text icons on my docks are TallMin Icons.

And finally my icons are from Devine Icons which you can find much more here.

Happy Themeing! :) I love it!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Glad you liking it!

Anyway on the normal camera.apk, where can I change superfine to normal?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] yonexfreak:
Since yesterday i installed this rom and so far i am happy about it but i noticed one thing:

i connected my phone to my carkit which went fine but i cannot access the phonebook from the car, i did not got a message on the phone which asked me of i want to grant access to the phonebook from the carkit

Can anyone else confirm this?

(the 2.1 and 2.2 versions do ask if want to give access to your phonebook if you make a pair/connection with a carkit in my experience)

Great job with this rom though!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
@Aumkar: 19k is actually normal. Do you still have lots of free ram? Do you have memory/app managers running? (i.e. AOR, ATK)

@latino: I actually use less. I only have 3 screens. I posted a screenshot of my current homescreen in the screenie thread.

@Bryan: from the camera app, click on the little gear (settings button), and just scroll down to look for it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] astronut01:
I had the exact same problems, had to send the phone in for repair.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grimpy:
@yonexfreak: for me this worked fine with a parrot mk6100 and a mk3100
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] yonexfreak:
Thank you for your reaction.

Will test this later today once again to see if it will show up if i make a new pair/connection :confused:

(same phone with the stock 2.1 and mod 2.1 as well as other custom 2.2 roms it did show up :))
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:

I installed CM7 few 2 weeks ago, and the battery life was great.

but now, 2 weeks later, something happened and I the battery drains to 60% after 5-6 hours with a little 3G use...

any tips?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ridsama:
Reboot the phone. I unplugged my phone this morning at 6am, by 9am it was down to 70% already with very little usage. Did a reboot, now almost 3 hours later, it's still at 70%.

Unticking JIT and tithering

Ticking stay in memory for home and messaging
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
I've tried GO Launcher and set it exactly like I had LP+ and had the same memory usage. Two instances, one around 30MB and one around 23MB. So, in terms of memory usage, it seems both are the same.

GO Launcher seems snapier though, so I'll try it a few more days, even though I miss LP widgets.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
If you miss the widgets, try Colorize Widgets app. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Oh. Okay will tune it up. Thanks.

Which RC are u using? I find RC3 drains more battery than RC2.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
i know it is a stupid question as i am using CM7 also, but what are we actually gaining from CM7 over CM6? :o

I mean we could have made CM6 just perfect instead of trying to put on our phone something that it cannot handle so good...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I haven't tried any GingeRom yet...

What are the added features over CM6?

I know of the power off animation... the cut and paste (is there an app for that?)

The gingerbread keyboard is already in CM6...

Gingerbread is supposed to have better battery management but does CM7 get that even though it's using a froyo kernel?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] yonexfreak:
Today i connected my phone again to the carkit and now my carkit has access to the phonebook, so yesterday was probable a glich or something

great to have this working again:D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I got much better battery life on CM7 RC2 but not for RC3. So I reverted to RC2.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
Me too, the only time I use the camera is to take a picture of the mileage on the display in my car for administrative purposes, and the phone then hangs and reboots, and the picture is corrupted :mad:

Why isn't is possible to install a totally seperate camera app? Under windows you have device drivers and every app is able to use the hardware.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Actually you can. I used Camera360 back then. You can also take a look at Vignette. Very feature rich camera apps.

If your satisfied with 3rd party camera apps. You can also choose to uninstall the camera.apk in your device. (Make sure that you have an alternative for your camcorder too.)

@Bryan: Will stick with GO Launcher now. Pretty sleek. Although, I did get to try ADW EX for a short time, and it feels smooth as well. I'd like to try this free option more though. :-P And you're right, it feels good that there's active development for this launcher. I'm really liking the tabs in the app drawer and the ability to clear the recently used apps. Brilliant.

In terms of RAM usage though, I have seen cases where there would be a duplicate GO launcher running as well. So I guess it's not LP+'s fault back then. And this leads me to believe that in most cases, LP+, ADW EX, and GO EX uses the same amount of RAM, which is 28 to 32 MB.

One thing that I found slightly week with GO EX is it's support for the vertical app drawer. I've found LP+ and ADW EX handle this app draw method better. GO EX seems to be not as fluid in terms of vertical scrolling.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Yeah seems like I have to use Vignette for now.

I think I didn't like ADW is because of the Docks? Been long since I last tried. Maybe I can give it a try too.
