I have seen several discussions about relation between RAM and app2ext feature!

Then i decided to try myself!

First, i bought new brand SDcard (class 10), then i divided my SD into 2 partitions, one fat32 and one ext2. After applied some configuration, i got app2ext ran on my MS.

At that point, there was no app was installed on my phone, checked the available RAM, i saw 82/226, played around with phone for some minutes, available ram still at ~79/226. Then, in cyanogenmod setting, i set install location to internal memmory, after that, i used titanium backup to restore a lot of apps, checked /system/sd/apps/ folder, all apps were there (ocupied ~300 mb of space).

Then I returned to about phone, and saw available ram=30mb :o, used end all tasks option of smartbar, the free ram up to 80mb (wow), but right after that, it went down to 30mb again :o, i tried to kill all apps many time, until i got ~70mb of ram, then stopped, then checked, and available ram=~30mb.

So i thinks there is no relation between free ram and app2ext feature :p.

That want to let you know!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Edwrib:
In android 2.2/2.3 you cant kill apps, they just restart, google changed api kill to restart.

Nadlabak posted a link few post behind talking about this.

@Nadlabak good job in dsp manger! cvpcs mentioned you :)

Well, the stock is using 56vsel to drive 550MHz while this vsel is enough to drive 900Mhz (I know it may vary for different devices but it's just working nice for me more than half year). Does that mean the stock is "overvoltage"? And my device with 900MHz@56vsel is "undervoltage"??

The battery will heat up when you using it. 3G and those heavy graphic apps will boost up even faster. With the stock speed (550MHz) the device will still heat up but it just slows the time to get it heat up to...let say 45C which is the dangerous line for battery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] AliceXES:
Can the phone number format (in 'contacts' for example) can be changed?

Now it's abc-def-ghij. For me, it would be a lot better if it could be set as abcd-efg-hij.

Thank you!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
I have the same problem. I want 1234-5678 rather than 123-456-789.

I just change the language to English (UK) then it looks better to me.

Hope there's another better way to correct this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] blunden:
Just out of interest, which radio version (Baseband version) is required for this unofficial CM7 build?

I was investigating it a bit for a friend but since the GOT leak of 2.2.1 is an sbf, I don't know if it contains a new radio update or not. It's a Vodafone Milestone from Germany but I assume all the european ones run the same radio.

To provide some information while I'm here:

The number format used for phone numbers is defined entirely by the locale in Android. It might be worth a try to specify a non-standard locale yourself with one of the apps on the Market available for that purpose. They allow you to set the language and region differently.

EDIT: He is currently running radio version 3GSMEPU91A_U91.08.12I.

Hello, i want to share my app2ext script for this CM7. Following kabaldan rule to mount under /sd-ext, may be can be integrated

please backup your data first

this script wont create ext2 partition, so you have to create it yourself

to install:

download attachment

From console:

adb remount

adb push 08mountappext.txt /system/etc/init.d/08mountappext

adb shell chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/08mountappext

when no error (reboot your phon)

adb reboot

Full wipe necessary

Hi,

I'm already running CM7 ROM, so is it necessary to do a full wipe to install this?

I really don't want to loose my colournotes data or other app data.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
Go on Android Market. Look for MyBackup Root. Back up your app data (And Apps, handy if you dont use EXT). Wipe and flash to new CM7. Restore app data. Problem solved.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tase25:
Ok, I will try that. Bc Titanium backup did not work for me last time!

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
When my phone goes to standby, I've noticed that I regularly lose data connection. At first I thought it might be an app problem but I've noticed recently that I've caught it not having a data connection at all just coming out standby, instead of just losing sync with gtalk (which is how I noticed this happening before).

What makes this all really annoying is that I'm obviously missing txts (via internet) and emails :(.

I did a search for it and have noticed that some other android devices have a Always On Data option for mobile networks and I don't see this in MM (nor do I think I have ever seen it on any other rom through all this time)

Anyone have an idea whats going on?

This is so annoying. I just had 36mB showing "available" under running services and after a reboot, with the same services there is 65mB. And I can't figure out what slowly eats the ram 15-20 hours after a reboot....

I need a more complete process manager. I've been using Android System Info app.

As far as I can tell I'm on the correct baseband already (Singapore/Malaysia/Indonesia), I thought it was this at first but I've flash the baseband on not just this ROM but others as well and still have the same issue :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Garreth88:
Many of my apps lost link to the market. Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling every single app?:) I use lib2ext script.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lightysnake:
Hi everyone,

my Carrier is PosteMobile a virtual operator based on Vodafone IT i've a problem with every GingerBread ROM (CM 7, Miui).

After i've flashed the ROM ( wipe dalvik, factory reset ) the phone start to reboot continously, sometimes it start and i hear camera's sound and then it reboot and rarely it start so i can use it for some minutes then it restart again and remain in logo loop.

If i remove the SIM from the phone, it start without problem and i can use it.

With FroyoMOD or CM6 i don't have this problem and my phone works fine.

I've this SIM since February 2011, i've tryed to make the update from SIM manager and the problem is still there.

I've put another sim (other Carrier) and the phone start without logo loop or random reboots.

It seem that froyo based ROM works fine with my SIM/Carrier and Gingerbread based rom cause phone reboot and logo loop.

Anyone have a solution? I've tryed to change baseband from OR, wipe everything, take back the phone to stock and reflash it but still the same problem.

Thank you everyone for the help.

Is your wifi turned on?

Even when not conected to the wifi my phone loses 3G connection when the wifi option is on.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jorgemariom:
This means 7.1.2 it have hardware acceleration just like ICS?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
Wifi is always off unless I turn it on, so no this would be while wifi is off. Happens anywhere, at home or outside.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jarlaxlebaenre:
I've tried to find the source of my issue that I've reported earlier but with no luck. When playing games like Angry Birds (which BTW is really choppy with newest releases) or Cut the Rope, whenever I turn on the sound in app it slows down heavily after a few minutes (for about 30s) and then it's back to normal speed. This cycle repeats endlessly. The same happens while watching video in MoboPlayer or MX Video Player, but I've recently noticed that it's only present when video is played with soft decoder (which some formats require). For what I remember this never happened in RCxx releases.

Another thing is about sd-ext. I've never used it and I've always moved apps to SD card with default button in app management. Few weeks back I've partitioned my SD and created sd-ext but after booting up the phone /data folder is always cleared (even after I restore it from nandroid backup). All the apps moved previously to SD are still present. Any ideas?

Lastly, in 7.1.2 version torch switch in notification power widget seems broken. I can turn the light on but cannot turn it off.

From what I can see there is a lot of activity on kabaldan's github around ICS so that may be the reason why 7.1.3 is not out yet.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
Really? ICS on Milestone? Isn't that to much? Can milestone really handle the ISC?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] m0jo:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSgrash:
how to turn on app2ext???
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ngonchan:
App2ext enabled by default in this ROM, you must create ext partition on your sdcard to use it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
And wipe caches after doing so and reboot phone, it will automagically move everything it can from internal memory to SDExt partition...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSgrash:
thank you

and what is moved? only /data/app and /data/app-private ??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Text selector

I've been seeing this kind of text selector (on the image) on roms, mostly samsung, and was wondering on what it depends and would it be possible or too difficult to implement in your GB ROM?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] walker666:
Hi all, I know this is not the right place to ask this question but this forum is frequently visited so here it is:

Ever since i bought new sdcard I can't make nandroid backup (it just randomly freezes and only battery remove helps, can't even remount sdcard). Dmesg from adb shell shows this message

- DMA transaction error with device 61

I found similar thread that explains that this could be hardware bug (sdcard error):

http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/omap_applications_processors/f/447/t/29377.aspx

I know how to make backup on sdcard manually through adb shell(this won't/doesn't work obviously cause it will freeze with same error), but I was wondering if there is a way to create backup directly on PC.

Or maybe someone already had this issue and has found workaround(maybe i can mount fat partion on sdcard with different parameters?)...

Ty all in advance

and special tnx to Nadlabak for keeping our stones alive!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] peshovec:
i had same issue, resolved with changing sdcard (2 "faulty" and 1 "ok")

for additional info (and test/proving the sdcard)

short version is: some parts of the flash on the sdcard are slower, and the phone can't handle that.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] walker666:
Thanks for clearing thing up, I supposed I'll have to get rid of this sdcard to make things work but was hoping there is a workaround.

Questions:

1. I had G.O.T OR installed back in September. Do I need to change it to Androidiani OR in order to install this ROM? If yes, how?

2. Where can I download the ROM? There doesn't seem to be a download link.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sörnäinen:
As far as I know the Androidani Open Recovery is the one you should use, because there are updates for the OR that only refer to this one.

The Androidani is linked in the first post of this thread.

So is the ROM itself, the bold headline says "download links".

It's all in the first post, which really is a bit very lengthy, but it makes sense to read it!

Especially when you are outside Europe, since you might need different additional things.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
Have you updated your Open Recovery with the update package that nadlabak posts in his first post? This will add MMC fix to Open Recovery, just in case your SD Card is one of the high speed cards which the normal OMAP 3 routines can't properly calculate some time-outs, resulting in several errors...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] walker666:
Heh, already tried that with same result, but thank you.

It's Adata 16GB class 6 sdcard, and as I can see other ppl had similar problems with this brand(Adata)...so don't buy it.(although others and me could be exception)

:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Actually, the mmc fix for recovery is not working (unlike the mmc fix that is part of dsifix for normal system - that works fine).

Sorry for that. I've upgraded from my 16GB card (also Adata) that allowed me to reproduce the issue to new 32GB card (class 10, Patriot) before I noticed that the version for 2.6.29 kernel can't work, that's why I missed it...

While it was rather easy to make the mmc fix for 2.6.32 kernel that we use for our normal system, I was not able to make a similar module for kernel 2.6.29 (that we use in recovery). The functions that could be hooked to accomplish the mmc fix are compiled inline in 2.6.29 kernel, unlike in 2.6.32.

As I'm rather busy lately, I haven't found the time to figure out a way for the 2.6.29 kernel yet.

See http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=691 , the module I've uploaded in December turned out to have major issues, that's why I removed it...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mburrieza:
I had the same problem with a 16GB uSD (Kingston Class 6) with a ext3 partition for sd-ext and fat32 for sdcard. Sometimes it worked and sometimes not. I solved the issue using latest androidiani recovery (with ext3 support) perfoming >Menu Utility> "Scandisk SD" and "Scandisk ext2" commands from OR and then the nandroid backup.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
I'm using an ADATA card myself 16GB CLASS 10 that I bought from newegg. Had it for more than 2 months and it gave new life to my Milestone. I have to agree Adata cards are finicky. I have also a USB flash key Adata 16 GB that stopped being recognized under Linux after a while.had it replaced under warranty and the replacement did the same after a while.

I had issues with my card with apps 2ext with an Ext4 partition. Switched to Ext3 and all worked fine.

I would advise to have all the cards tested under windows with a good testing program. Don't have one in mind but if needed I can post some good ones later.

Hope this helpes!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jerminhu:
Thanks! But how do I change from G.O.T OR to Androidiani OR?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
Just delete the OpenRecovery folder in your SD card and copy the new one.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
If you need to test something about it, just let me know and I'll be glad to help, my Transcend card has this same sympton, crashes when backing-up sd-ext, since I never used sd-ext before this card, I just tought that perhaps backing up sd-ext was too much intensive on the sd-card / mmc system and decided to not back it up (as I already have the apps backup done with Titanium Backup and the rest of Nandroid backup seems to work fine).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Garreth88:
Has anybody tried this card in milestone? http://www.sandisk.co.uk/products/mobile-memory-products/ultra-microsdhc-memory-card I wonder if it is possible to reach anything near 30mb/s of reading speed on our phone. Do you think this card is worth its price?:)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
Wallpaper, WiFi settings etc. are backed up on Google servers. Simply untick an option to restore whe you are setting up your Google account (Can you actually use one in China?).

Or, more likely, you restored it with TiBu - there's an item called "Wallpaper" which you can untick or wipe.
