pppfftttt... i can barely even use my phone... its lags so damn bad i want to punch kittens before it even starts working...

im just going to flash 2.4 brand new & see what happens from there... if not, illl try your suggestion!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Before you reflash, what kind of lag are you talking about?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
like i unlock the phone, it takes 30+ seconds to do anything, same with anything else i click on. just freezes up...

or like when i recieve phone calls, it will start vibrating, then ring after several seconds, then just as the caller is getting my voicemail, the screen will finally appear... so i can see i missed the call. Then spend 5+ minutesa trying to call back
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Yeah, I would try doing a full wipe and flashing 2.4, don't just wipe caches.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
wiped EVERYTHING... did a raw install... should fix it.

If i dont get back to ya, then everything is well & running smoothly!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] macknup:
I have recently installed this on my milestone and I do enjoy it.

My only concern is when I enable the Lockscreen Audio controls (widget), as well as the volume rockers being next/previous (under CM settings) and begin to play music via AudioGalaxy, I lock my screen and use the keys however my phone seems to think I am talking of the Music program (Music.apk) when it should be thinking Audiogalaxy.

essentially it either doesnt see AudioGalaxy or it auto defaults to the system Music Player.

I know in previous versions of CM7 the controls have worked well.

Is this lack of feature a Iceandfire build problem or a CM7 development, or perhaps a setting I am missing?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Quite sure it is a general CM7 issue. Perhaps the new build will fix it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
what haaappened to update?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
install cleared up all my issues... everything works great...

but battery life is HHOORRIIBBLLEEE.... seriously, i left here around 1am and while at work by 4am i was down to 45%

didnt listen to pandora or get online. Just a few texts and checked news on Phandroid. then by the time i got home around 7:30 only had 7% left..

with 2.2 i would listen to pandora for 2-3 hours, and text... still amke it home with 20-25 percent left...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mhamini:
hi everyone,

I'm using Ho!No! mod now and i want to download and apply Iceandfire.

I've some questions:

1- is this nanroid backup or an update and i have to update this via OR?

2- is it ready for app2ex2?

thanks in advance
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
1- It is an update via OR, just like HO!NO!

2-App2ext is already mounted and ready to go.

@Phoze Try calibrating your battery using zeppelinrox's method. Perhaps an app is draining your battery or preventing the phone from sleeping.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rrohanjs:
can ne1 post few screenshots or small vid of this rom ..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lonelywolf11:
are there any other download links?

multiupload cannot work in China
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Could be the latest Google Maps is having some issues making it run all the time in the background.

You can also try this app called PowerTutor (google for the dev website) to help you see which app is taking the most power or running all the time when it shouldn't be running.

I have uninstalled the latest Google Maps and reverted to an old version.

I heard Facebook is also another source of battery drain. In FB app settings, turn off automatic updates and notifications.

When phone is idle, switch it to 2G as 2G uses less power than 3G.

Check out the Toggle 2G app.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] qaz2453:
Tbh I don't like the white notification background and icons :(

So I went back to 2.4
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mhamini:
I've problem with some mods, sometimes after normal reboot, almost all of my application on ex2 not appear in android but they are still exist on my ex2 and I've to reinstall them with root explorer or restore them with Titanium backup!

how can i prevent or resolve this?

any tips?

thanks in advance :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
Actually, im like the only person in the world who doesnt use the FB mobile app.. i dont care about FB that much, i just check it when im home. I've been managing whats running in the background with the default android manager in the "running apps" in the settings. ive noticed keeping google-maps & the prefetcher service killed helps a bit... The app that uses the most battery for me is Pandora (2+ hours a night) and FourSquare. but my reports from the other night were without using FS and pandora... which was absurd!

Im going to try 2.5 either today or tomorrow & see if that helps at all...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I have reverted to Google Maps ver.5.1.0 and so far so good. It does not appear in SystemPanel Lite as b4 or in my battery usage stats.

So for those who noticed Google Maps is always running, you can try ver.5.1.0
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
good heads up....

thanks! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
This is normal. No need to reinstall them.

All u need to do is do another reboot and they all come back again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mhamini:
thanks for reply. I've rebooted that 3times, but still I've not the programs on ex2 in application menu :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
yeah that happened to me on this rom... after updating busybox twice, my ext apps disappeared after the next reboot.

Workaround is to just reinstall the rom
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
something is not right with the battery status. if i charge the phone, the power level stuck in 90%, but if i unplug the charger up to 100%, and 1-2 minutes later drop down to 90% again. i try to delete batterystats.bin but no help. i disable the 1% battery step. i do a full wipe and rom reinstall but when i disable 1% battery step the problem is come up again. i dont need 1% battery step because sometimes i use third party batterys.

the original cm7 is fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lalit79:
i think either battd or batt2d is missing from /system/bin.

Way nadlabak implemented 1% battery step is

- if u enable 1% then batt2d is used

- if not then battd is used
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
no, battd and batt2d is in the right place
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pedrodel:
Navigation

I have some Problems with Navigation Apps, Sygic is crashing most of

the time and IGo/Motonav has a very bad voice output.

The sound is choppy and most of the words are cutted off.

Does anybody else has those issues?

Can I anyhow increase the sound buffer?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] _crAss_:
IGO always rebooted my phone after some time running.

I run Copilot now without any problems and Mireo Don't Panic. The second one has crashed only once, after 3 and a half hours of usage. The cpu was burning hot.

Also with rom 2.5 the operator's name isn't visible in the pull down menu.

The new icons are different, so I will not say if I like them or not until I have spent some time with it.

The only thing I cannot do is run Google News and Weather, read the news on Dolphin browser (or any other) and when I close the browser to see the News and Weather app as I left it. Unfortunately 4 out of 5 times News and Weather is restarted. I gained the 1 out of 5 times after installing zeppelinrox multitasking settings.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
Updated to v2.6. Change log hopefully tomorrow.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rrohanjs:
changelog ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
i really dont see much change from 2.4 to 2.6 the stuff i did notice is:

1. battery life is WWAAYYY better

2. more fluid/smooth

3. Google-based apps respond a little quicker.

that aside, i see nothing major...

-I use the Rover-Blue (system) & ADWex-Buuf themes, so i dont see all the new notification stuff....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
Well v2.6 wasn't a major update it was just based on nadlabaks latest build that fixed many bugs!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
i try is this rover-blue theme (i dont even know that is exist), man this theme is rock! you just made my day :) cheers!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
i dont really understand you... but if you were asking for the theme, here ya go:

http://www.androidnerds.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=497

i use the theme only, no extras.

To Install:

1. put .zip in downloads folder

2. use "astro" or similar app to install

3. launch theme-chooser.

4. apply & enjoy

-theme will stay when updating rom!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] flat possum:
google apps disappear for me after update

Every time I update the ROM, my accounts disappear and I need to reinstall Google apps and then login and sync again to bring back my contacts, and reinstall many apps.

It never used to be like this when i used nadlabak's CM7.

When I changed to I&F I did a factory reset then applied the ROM, so I can't think of a reason why this is hapenning.

Another funny behavior is that sometimes the phone won't charge (i have to remove/re-insert the battery to start charging), and sometimes the battery meter won't update ( can indicate "charging" and the meter remains at the same number even if you disconnect it from the charger).

Any ideas, anyone?

Cheers

Flat Possum
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
i already find this, but thanks :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] flogiston:
My sms messages are missing!

Hello, i've started using your ROM recently, and i have one problem with my Milestone since that time - i'm not receiving some of my sms messages and it's quite a big problem. at first i thought that it may be caused by GoSms application, but i have removed it and replaced with Handcent with the same result. I even re-flashed ROM with cleaning all caches and Nand. Is there any possibility that the problem here is radio? i haven't changed it even once (i use my cell in Poland, Eastern Europe.) Thank you for Your great job creating this ROM, and all Your concern developing it!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
make sure to keep messenger app in memory option is enabled. if you want to use a third party messenger handler app you need to keep the stock app too. also check the baseband radio is right for you. if not you can set up in the OpenRecovery, try Androidiani OR or FuFu OR. another possible problem is you use some memory manager software, or you set the low memory settings incorrectly. if you use too aggressive settings maybe the messenger service killed in the background. use zeppelinrox supercharger v6 scripts to check the oom and low memory status. i recommended one of the balanced settings.

you can stick your messenger app in the memory by force. you can find this in the build.prop file:

# apps to be kept in memory (specified by process name)

# use with caution, RAM is limited!

sys.keep_app_1=

sys.keep_app_2=

just write your app process name (!) to here, not the app name, or the apk name! navigate to the /data/data folder and find the process name, something like that: com.handcent.nextsms
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] flogiston:
thank you for your superfast reply!

now i see i have to get deeper into android system files to do as you have told me to. i'll look for a guide on how to use those scripts, because i never used the command line in android before. moreover i don't know where to look for this build.prop file.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
build.prop location is /system

you can edit with root explorer.

script manager can handle shell scripts

booth is on the market
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] flogiston:
Thank you for all your help. Everything is working fine so far, but i had to spend some time doing all of what you suggested and i learned quite a lot. One last question not in subject of missing sms - any idea why developers mode connection is not working? i don't even get notification while connected.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
the notifications working only when the phone in portal and tools mode
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] flogiston:
Its not working even when i turn it into portal and tools mode. I have already tried all combinations and even reinstalled driver on few machines.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
Portal mode is removed.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] flogiston:
Good to know, now I won't be trying to connect my phone using Droid Explorer or MyPhoneExplorer. I'm sure that you have put it somewhere in the changelog, but i didn't read it all from a to z.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
You should connect using Linux... or Ubuntu like i do, and you wouldnt have to use silly software for all that. Since android is based on Linux, it reads everything perfectly and easily reads all the extension types!

-just sayin...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
yes you can, portal and tools just an apk what is used for the browser based motorola tools, without this when the phone switched to the usb debugging mode you can connect to the phone via adb, and therefore any other app what is based on adb. at least i can do that :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheKawa:
Right now I'm running The Froyy Mod 2.8 on my milestone, and i want to install iceandfire.

Do I have to intall CM7 first and then iceandfire?

Can I install the latest CM7 or it has to match to the version of the iceandfire?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rrohanjs:
do all 3 wipes and directly flash ice n fire .. and gapps also
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
> wipe dalvik

> wipe cache

> full wipe

> run IAF update

> install GAPPS

> install GAPPS add-on

> set baseband

> reboot (first boot is slow - be patient)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LaDrOIdBoy:

good things so far:

gingerbread on/off animation is a lot smoother!

loving the touchwiz launcher and wallpapers!

things just seem faster in general :p nice work!

bad things so far:

I can't find the google search widget! :(

my wi-fi wont work (and it did on all previous iceandfire roms)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
Fixed!!!! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ravram:
Thanks man, downloading and upgrading....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fejker:
Just flashed this and can't get google apps. I tried the attached link in the first post and the ones for CM7 -> http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps

I flash them through OpenRecovery then reboot and no google apps can be found. :(

I'm going to try to flash with Androidiani OR and see what happens.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leonov:
ROM

WIFI does not work and the shop also reportedly :mad:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fejker:
Moving to CM7, nothing to see here. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
This is pretty embarrassing. I'm on working on the issue now. Sorry again
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ravram:
Just another small issue : I got the MIU music app showing Chinese UI.

Is there a way to turn to English?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
Updated all issues fixed! Sorry!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zammbi:
Still having trouble with Google apps not showing...

Edit: Old version of Google apps seemed to work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 4ny0n3:
I apply my baseband file and get no signal whatsoever... if I apply the same one again, or a different one I get the "Insert Network Unlock Code" prompt. O.o

-----------------------------

EDIT: Nevermind, I flashed a GOT SBF and then applied the update via recovery and it all worked fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leisures:
Same problem with hotspot then original cyano...it restart my phone an barnacle wifi tether logs say cant flag wlan0 or something like that.

So,no wif tether works on it.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ravram:
Still having gapps force closing
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
I'm using the rom since 6+ hours now and gapps work fine. No baseband problems, wifi connects. This build was tested thoroughly before posting.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leisures:
can u test hostspot wifi ?...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leonov:
ROM

Confirm that version 2.8 works OK! well done iceandfire :D , miui player is only in Chinese !?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ravram:
Yes, got it working by applying the rom and gapps at once from recovery.

All seems OK and smooth. Well done iceandfire.

btw, miui music is in chinese....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Kulch:
i cannot get a connection to my carrier. I flashed Telus on it and still nothing ideas?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Which OR did you use to flash the ROM? I am able to connect to the Telus network using AOR and FuFu's Minimod.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Kulch:
I am using AOR. It has worked for the past CM7's, Miui. and now when i try Ice and Fire i change the baseband to Telus, and I'm getting nothing. Do I have to use RSD lite and flash it through that again in order to get my baseband?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
You shouldn't have to. Try flashing the baseband again. Worst case you do a full wipe and reflash I&F.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
to those with 2.8...

how does the battery life compare to 2.7?

for me 2.7 has had the absolute BEST bettery life of ANY version released thus far. i would rather stay at 2.7 if 2.8 isnt that great!

ya know?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] _crAss_:
Apart from the music app which is in chinese, I have a bigger problem.

I have downloaded the fixed version (113.71 MB), I have installed google apps, but the market app is nowhere to be found. I had a shortcut on the launcher and it says app not found.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
Try v2.8!! Fixed version had issues too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] _crAss_:
I downloaded again the last 2.8, I installed it, used the gapps you provide and I still end up without the market...the rest is working ok, I can log on to my google account, synchronize contacts etc.

Thanks for your effort.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
Weird i just checked my milestone and it's still working fine. Downloaded 4-5 apps without problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheKawa:
hi, i have iceandfire 2.6 on my milestone.

do i have to do 3 wipes or just 2 (cache,dalvik) in order to update to 2.8?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
Try two wipes. If all goes fine then okay but if something doesn't work try full wipe.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dfersd:
I'm on that very problem, I've come from CM7 RC10, so for me is a little weird to say that I don't have market, BUT, I browsed system files and I've founded vendor.apk exactly were it had to be found, but the icon was not normal, it was something as "unreadable", I had installed iceandfire (wiping before) four times having the same problem, so, that is true, something is extrange, so lets try to fix it somehow, tell us if we can send logs or anything, ups! I'd remember, there was one more thing, Swype is not working properly, so it detects as "uncompatible screen size" and since you can not work on market, so I couldn't uninstall it.. lol
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] _crAss_:
I have been using ice and fire constantly for a lot of versions and this is the first time I came across this error.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] _crAss_:
I solved the bug...

All you need to do is install google apps version gapps-gb-20110613-signed.

I used the version you had on the post in the first page which probably isn't fully compatible with the last gingerbread version 2.3.4.

Update your links so that no more people face the same problem!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
Okay thanks to _crass_ for reporting about the latest gapps version. Pls update your gapps to the new version.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dfersd:
I'll try it this night, cause yesterday I had to unmount completly my milestone for mecanical failure je je... tomorrow (I hope) I report the news
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
ok so i just load the newest one? or do i have to do the gapps, then the add-on?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] _crAss_:
If you have the latest version of ice and fire then just install the newest gaps.

If you want to upgrade from a previous version of ice and fire, clear dalvic, clear cache, apply ice and fire update, apply latest gaps and you are ready.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ph0z3:
i was told:

- nand of system + cache

- wipe dalvik/cache

- FULL wipe

- install update

- restore nand

- wipe dalvik

- apply gapps, then gapps update/addon

- apply radio

- reboot

is this not correct?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] _crAss_:
This is correct if coming from another rom (eg CM, MIUI, Cronos).

If you already have a gingerbread ice and fire rom then you can skip most steps. I have been just wiping cache and dalvik, applying the update and applying gapps ever since version 1.7 if I remember correctly.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
I've noticed that whenever I try to change 10overclock with rootexplorer, it'll save, but then on reboot the file will be blank, and unchangeable, and the system will revert to stock speed settings. I've tried a clean install twice so far, with everything wiped 3 times and still the same.

Also wanna add that the 1% battery increments in status bar only go by 5%, which is really annoying, and when charging, it doesn't show what percent your at, just the charging icon, which is also king of annoying...
