How to overclock?

Hi, can someone help me? I just flashed the latest version of this rom and as much as I love it, I don't understand how to use the overclock files and where to put them to activate them etc. Can some kind person explain to me in a simple step-by-step list, how to do this? :D thanks, any help would be much appreciated.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
All working great. (except for the weird but know camera problem)

I guess the last thing cm7 needs, its more freedom with overclocking options gui, so we can blow up the cpu anytime we want :D

125mhz was a nice addition for people who like to experiment. 1100mhz would be great... but just like an option, rom factory speed should stay at 900mhz.

what i must do when i want install RC4

when i have MiUi 1.4.1 with ext2 support ... ???

i'm scared that i kill apps on the ext2 from the MiUi Mod !

can i install it normaly and go back with nandroid ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rosmarcelino:
Use the app Root Explorer and then search for etc/init.d/10overclock

Then you can edit the values from 10overclock the way you want,after this save and reboot! :D

Yesterday, after changed vm heap size to 46, i rebooted my phone, and it did not mount ext4 partition, only mounted fat32 partition!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] baoli:
I can't get it to boot rc4. Furthest I get is the logo with the arrow spinning round and round... Wiped all caches and data too because that usually does the trick. Oh well, back to RC3 I guess. Good thing I did a nandroid backup
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Google Maps is still unusable on this new RC4. I don't remember when it started, but in RC3 it was the same. I already wiped data and started from scratch but it's always the same. Maps launches, starts loading the maps and all, then app freezes and phone becomes unresponsive. If I'm not lucky enough to be able to return to home phone will reboot directly to CM logo (no M logo).

Anyone has any idea what could be happening? I've seen here other people have problems too. I've reported this some time ago but I had no answer. If any logs are needed just let me know what and how and I'll be happy to post here.

Any help is appreciated!! Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] CronusStrife:
It happens with me too! I can only use Maps if I reboot the phone and immediately open Maps. If i open another app and after open Maps the phone becomes unresponsive.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Now maps froze and I had to remove battery to get it working. It's really annoying since I used to use it as my gps in my car. :(

Hi

I think the format cache option not good at certain scenario. Try this from AOR command line:

rm -Rf /data/dalvik-cache/*

rm -Rf /cache/dalvik-cache/*

I modified the clear dalvik-cache script to purge system cache too and now format cache is not needed. By the way the phone booting faster too after this method of clear cache.

Google maps freeze for me too. I use sygic mobile maps, its perfect. The main camera app also not perfect. This is an old issue... i used camera zoom, it take 5mp photo without problem and fast too, but there is many camera app alternatives exist. Try one of them.

I suggest that /data/dalvik-cache stay on phone and not moved to the sdcard. Otherwise it cause slowdown, even reboot.

AOR clear dalvik-cache clear cache in /data/dalvik-cache. If you use app2ext dalvik-cache stored in sdcard, so in AOR take the /sddata/dalvik-cache directory. The clean script not cleaned this. The dalvik clean script is simple, looks like this:

rm -Rf /data/dalvik-cache/*

Just add to this:

rm -Rf /sddata/dalvik-cache/*

rm -Rf /cache/dalvik-cache/*

If you have an ext4 partition for now the AOR cant see this, but dalvik-cache of user data cleanable while the phone is operating normally. In that case just do that.

The phone bootloop, stuck in bootanim, etc. Caused a misconfigured ROM or some trash in system dalvik-cache. The important thing is the /cache/dalvik-cache has empty or even the whole cache formatted, but this is almost never needed. Just remove files from dalvik-cache.

iOS and Android playing well together

Have you ever seen an iOS and an Android playing a multi-player game together?

I managed to play Guerrilla Bob on my Motorola Milestone with my colleague who was using an iPod Touch.

The problem was that in order to play the multi-player mode, we need to join a wireless LAN.

Thank god for Android. We ended up using her HTC Legend's Wireless Hotspot to host the wireless LAN. :lol:

I suffered from reboots when using the keyboard, RAM was too low then if I was playing music, and I could a text, the music player would be killed.

Plus more.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
you could have just used barnacle wifi tether on your droid and had the iphone connect to the hotspot, that puts them on a lan without a third party device.

hadn't seen this done before but i knew there were games capable. this should happen a LOT more.

what other games can be played in this fashion?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
My reason is I do not want to load my Milestone with the extra task of being the host of the wireless LAN.

So since the HTC Legend was lying idle on the table nearby, might as well use it as the host of our wireless LAN.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ngonchan:
Just have a stupid question:

After applying a ext4 partition on my sdcard and using Titanium Backup to move all of my apps to internal storage (I think it would move my apps to ext4 partition on my sdcard), using terminal to check, my apps exist in both /sd-ext/app and /data/app. Is this right or I do something wrong because I think after moving apps, they should in /sd-ext/app, not /data/app? :(

initial usage report cm7 rc4 11.04.05

i installed this night the 11.04.05 and i found that the battery drain is quite high compared to stock froyo..

the cpu is mainly at 900mhz when the lcd is on..and rarely i see 125/250/500..moved to conservative governor and now it seems it switch more often between 250/500..

i had a reboot while installing all the google app from the market..

google maps sometime hang for some seconds..once crashed and got a reboot after maps hang..

do you have different impression?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] geevee11:
Check you internal storage with titanium. If it is the same size as your ext4 partiotion, it is mounted. Or go to terminal emulator, and type df.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ngonchan:
Sorry for bothering, clearly now!

/data/app is a part of sdcard (/dev/block/mmcblk0p2's mounted on /data/app) it's not internal memory after using df in terminal.

Thanks all.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gs111:
My CM7 RC4 is near stock, with 2 exceptions. I have installed Miui camera which works consistently if I don't use the camera hardware button. And I have increased the Heap Size.

Google Maps seems to be heavily affected by the heap size. At 32mb, I find maps nearly unusable due to the constant lagging and hang ups. However, at 44mb, maps doesn't hang up or get stuck.

I'm not up on how this setting would cause this, but I've found it to consistently be true. Give it a try if you are having maps issues, and let me know if this is repeatable.

I want to make my phone working on app2ext with ext4 partition.

which partition need to be made first? ext4 or fat32? do i need to make a swap partition also?

And how can i make them the easiest way on linux?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
GMaps working good for me (32mb vm heap!), but I don't really need it because it needs wifi/3g for maps to show up. Anyone got Navigon working on CM7 (it FCed for me on RC3).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
first partition is fat32 second is ext4. you dont need a swap partition because android doesn't support swap. by the way using sd card as swap will killing the card soon. the easiest way is fdisk :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] liranvaknin:
Thanks vadonka!

Is there anything i need to do beside make the partitions and installing the rom?

Any mount command or such?

It's terrible for me on 32mb. Used to get kernel panics before the DSI workaround, now it lags to hell and back all the time. Tried 42mb heapsize and now it's fine.

I DO have lots of apps installed (330mb of them), although I try to control when each one is running, some of them are crazy restarters.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
For an App2ext guide, I've always found sileshn's app2ext guide extremely helpful.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Are the ext and app2ext modules already enabled? Or do we need to throw them into init.d?

From what I gather you just need to add a second partition to your card and use S2E from the market to enable it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] baoli:
Got it to boot finally and I got it to run pretty smoothly as well. Using AOR, I changed the vmheap to 48mb, installed memhack from the froyo modding menu and ran Zepplin's GScript. Also used Root Explorer to delete a bunch of stuff I didn't need and replaced the launcher with ADW EX
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] boonhoong:
Could it be you're running at 125MHz? Check your CPU governor and set min cpu speed to 250MHz. Hopefully this will solve your problems.

no, it does not make any differnce

Can someone help me? I applied the new update, but after the M logo once I turn my phone on, the screen just goes black with the backlight on. It's really bothering me. And if anyone wonders, this is the only rom that I use.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quintasan:
Hmmm, for some reason Market started going ape**** here. I can open it just fine but whenever I go to Dowloaded Applications or "My application" (dunno whats it called in English) it FC's for me. Any idea what's going on?

EDIT:

NVM, somehow it automagically fixed itself :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] girinovey:
Mine had the same problem, what i did was to add a file in /etc/init.d that loads all the modules needed for mounting the ext2 partition. I named it 04mymodules (it has to run before 05mountsd, but you can name it whatever you want as long as it starts with 04). The contents are:

insmod /system/lib/modules/mbcache.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/jbd2.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/ext4.ko

I'm not sure why those modules are not loaded before 05mountsd is run (they are loaded afterwards at some point since I can mount the ext2 partition manually), but this solved my problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Shoib:
I fixed my phone by restoring my phone through nandroid, but whenever I try applying the update now, it won't even update anything. What am I doing wrong?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
I found it very easy. Just convert your ext2 partition to ext4 using AOR console (mentioned in previous posts).

Then in CM7 open Terminal Emulator and type:

su

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext

Then reboot. That's pretty much it. You can check using Terminal Emulator

su

mount

This line should appear amongst other mounted devices:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext ext4

That means your ext4 is up and running. You can also check with root explorer which is easier, you just go to /sd-ext and you should see app, app-private, dalvik-cache and lost+found folders
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Shoib:

please

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rosmarcelino:

Since windows isn't capable of showing ext2/3/4 partitions it will only show the fat32. (which should be smaller then before).

Anyone?

when i changed my overclock table (10overclock file in etc/init.d) to:

1000

700

500

350

250

I see in the program CPUStats(from apps and themes forum) that 350 isn't being used and it stopped showing me "time in state" (how much time every clock speed has been used)

Any idea how to fix that?

You have to update your recovery to Androidiani 3.3 something you can find it in the thread section. Then apply update and you'll be fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
How does one go about overclocking their Milestone? I wanted to directly modify the 10overclock file but it says that the permissions are set to read only and I can't change them.

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
I also have an ext2 partition on my SD card which I have been using with an old apps2sd script (mounted at /system/sd) for months. When I updated to RC4, my phone did not at first mount the ext2 partition to /sd-ext, and I thought my apps2sd config was broken. I managed to mount it manually from a shell, and since then on every reboot the phone mounts the partition properly and my apps show up as they did before the update.

SF
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
The /system filesystem is read-only by default, so you (or apps that don't have root access) can't change its contents. You need to first mount the filesystem as read/write.

Hopefully, you're using Root Explorer to browse to the file. Once you get to the init.d directory, just press the "Mount RW" button to mount the filesystem as rewritable, and then edit the file by long pressing it. Once you've saved the file, don't forget to press the "Mount RO" button to make the filesystem read-only.

If you want to do it the tricky way, you can do it from a shell prompt as follows:

<<<GET ROOT PRIVILEGES>>>

su

<<<MOUNT FILESYSTEM AS READ/WRITE>>>

mount -o remount,rw /system

<<<EDIT FILE>>>

vi /system/etc/init.d/10overclock

<<< SET FILESYSTEM BACK TO READ-ONLY>>>

mount -o remount,ro /system

You don't have to use vi to edit the file, but since you're in masochist mode... ;)

Hope that helps,

SF
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Thanks! That got me to change the values of 10overclock, but now it seems like my phone is unstable.. It has restarted twice already. How would I be able to access my 10overclock.bak that Root Explorer created for me when I change 10overclock in the first place? :/

Hi,

first of all... this ROM is awesome!

Came from G.O.T. and installed latest Froyo stock ROM (German version 5.26) with sbf_flash first.

Afterwards i directly flashed the vulnerable recovery again.

Booted up to the stock system and had a short impression... nice, but next step.

Prepared sd card with AOR 3.3.

Moved cm-7.0.0 RC4 to /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates.

Also Moved the lattest gapps for Gingerbread to /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates.

Tried booting into recovery all nice.

Restored to factory, wiped everything and changed to the update menu.

Then applied the cm-7.0.0 update first and the gapps afterwards.

True fun!!!

But to come back to my intention:

Also had this issue with my device running G.O.T. 2.2.1.

All of a sudden i there was a similar bootlader message and i were not able to boot into OpenRecovery anymore.

So please try to reflash vulnerable recovery with RSDlite (or sbf_flash for linux) again. Should be no problem to follow the next steps then.

You won't regret, because this ROM is a masterpiece!

Best regards,

scholbert

Did you flash the Google Apps zip update after you flashed CM7?

If this is a fresh CM7 install, you should flash the Google Apps update right after you flash Cyanogen. If you do that, all Google apps (Market, Gmail, Maps, etc.) should be there. Look at the beginning of this thread. :)
