rotation animation

Finally. Some begged for it for ages

https://github.com/CyanogenDefy/and...mmit/46ed93bad15410c2111b396736ecde1b465e70ea
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
There was a memory leak in the first version of the rotation animation backport, but it seems to be fixed now :).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] w4tchout:
That looks indeed like a really fine tool to have. I'd like to second that request :)

P.S. Thank kabaldan for yet another update. I just donated a few euro's your way for a few of those nice Czech beers :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adome5:
Kabdlan- can you work on the new music app that can work on our cm7 rom please?

Why it need the cm9 version?its on our milestone alpha version and take time so..

And what the problem with the wi-fi connection? Can you get a update that fix this problem please?

Thank you!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
You can download Google Music from the Market.

And Music app from GB is much better/faster than the one from ICS.

There is no problem with WiFi.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adome5:
I have it on my milestone but the cyanogen mod music app its better right?so if it possible to do it for our cm7 version that will work its will be better..

About wi-fi ok
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Oh sorry I don't know any cm music app, can you give me link for that?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adome5:
here the link:

http://www.seeingpixels.org/

can kabdlan do that this music app will work on our cm7 rom please?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jarlaxlebaenre:
I've already tried clearing market cache & data, cache part and dalvik but with no luck, so it wouldn't help. I have just moved to 7.1.4 though and now everything is fine.

I've also noticed rotation animation feature on github. Even now I'm using Milestone as my secondary phone (next to Galaxy Note) and I wanted to switch to Droid 2 Global (hardware keyboard is a must) but I just can't part with this phone when there is such a great support.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
No. It is for ICS only. Kabaldan is not an app developer too so sh
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nitrobg:
I just noticed that 7.1.5 has been uploaded to github.

Download link:

Changelog:

Thanks again, kabaldan!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Wow, another update already???? :)

Just installed it, ICS Animations work great!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] m0jo:
Finally rotation animation!! :D:D This is awesome!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
I've got to admit that I'm at a loss to understand why this is such a sought after feature. I find the performance of my phone really sluggish with all animations switched off at 1000MHz. When switched on, animations are quite choppy and the phone's performance becomes even worse. I'm starting to wonder if I have something badly misconfigured...

SF
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
dats odd...the phone runs like a charm with the new animations and looks sexier too
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
@MuF123

@Sushifiend

Froyo and Ginger has this same CPU requirements, it's all about memory. I think that You use some third party background tasks that out RAM and make everything bogus. You don't have any RAM to spare on ginger. I wrote more about that on miui thread. It applies also here.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17318864&postcount=961

Solution to this is to use as virgin CM as possible and configure programs wisely. If you can't do that stick to froyo.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
Completely agreed. I specifically limit all apps and get rid of apps that refuse to have an option to stop them from starting up to put up notificiations (I'm looking at you Noom fitness tracker).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
i seriously adore them .......try supercharging ....cause ders no effect with or widout animations turned on...looks more like u have issues with configuring your phone...ps cm7 is as good or even better than froyo in sum aspects:-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] florinash2006:
Agree. They don't know how to configure their phones and blame the ROM. My MS is working better then ever WITH ICS animations. Thx Kabaldan!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
Well the thing is, regardless if your too inexperienced to optimize your phone so that animations run smoothly, EVERY ROM COMES WITH ANIMATIONS ANYWAYS! He just changed the gingerbread animations to ICS ones. If you already disable them, then it will have absolutely no effect on you, so there really is no need to complain. :)

T9 dialer

great job and many 10x for T9.

rigth now the T9 work only in english, further more it show only the first result.

Since the major work already done, it will be great to give the T9 some of the "Dialer ONE" characteristic.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Please explain, I'm using it and my phone is not set to english (most of the time)

Tap on the "V" at the right of the first result.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] fonzi:
I'm stuck on 7.1.1 because since this version, my milestone gets stuck on the M logo after flashing.

I've tried everything since restore factory SBF and rooting everything again, other base bands, etc... Same thing. 7.1.1 is the last on of CM series that works.

Any idea why?

Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] qaz2453:
nice to see rotation animation finally on the milestone

Too bad I sold my milestone ... I wanted to see how it compares to my nexus s :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
I think I understand what you mean. If Gaming is not your thing, try this very simple setup on latest CM7. JIT off heap 36MB.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] heavony.ivory:
i attached 2 files one of CM7 T9 and the others is Dialer one, as you can see the dialer one keypad have alternate letters on each numbers (English + Hebrew in my case) while the cm7 t9 have only the English letters

correct i missed that "V".

You must erase all of your data ("factory reset") upon installing a new kind of firmware. It might also happen that the default overclock settings push your Milestone behind limits - in that case go for a ROM which doesn't apply any overclock (the latest Cronos GingerX doesn't).

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Hey kabaldan,

Thanks for the update! I see the lockscreen bug is still here. Wrote about it some pages back and you asked me details, which I also wrote. Please let me know if you took a look, you probably missed it.

With a hidden slider unlock, it will still unlock if you slide across where it is hidden. I am trying to unlock only with a secret gesture.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Awesome update, as usual. T9 Dialer and rotations are really great. No issues for me.

PDroid could be really useful, if it can be integrated (I didn't found Milestone in the list of supported phones)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] clmta:
Fonzi, try to check how many free space you have at system partition in a terminal and using df command.

I just had 200kbytes free with 7.1.4 and before flashing 7.1.5 I opened the zip file and deleted (with winzip) the CMWalpapers.apk and CMWalpaper.odex files, so after flash I had 5Mbyes free. I do not used that wallpapers.

I believe that we can have different partition sizes, with minor difference, and perhaps when you flash your partition is full and became corrupted, so each new version uses more bytes from it.

Of course previous any test have a nandroid backup of you configuration.

Hope this helps

Regards,

Claudio.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
MuF123: Sorry, but I don't quite understand what you wanted to say.

That there are faster phones with more RAM available, nowadays? Well, yes, obviously.

Though, every phone has it's own issues, no matter how new or powerful on paper it seems to be... ;)

Spare Parts>Transition animations>Off is there for you.

So, is there a problem?

Gingerbread has been always running much better for me than Froyo (not mentioning the joke called Eclair), since the start. That's one of the reasons why I switched to CM7 development one year ago, leaving CM6 for Milestone to be further developed by those who wanted to do so.

If you say "Are there 2 kinds of milestone? ... Gingerbread runs like sh#$ on milestone" then I have to say that I for sure have very different Milestone than you :D.

off topic:

Btw., I never intended to provide any "ROMs" for Milestone at all. All I wanted was to find, show and publish the way how a real custom ROM compiled directly from source can be done, even for such locked device as Milestone (first of its kind in the android world).

Unfortunately, my expectations, that soon after I publish the source, a Milestone developer community will establish itself and gradually evolve the Milestone to perfection, was wrong.

With the exception of the (later) short lived Shadowmod, there appeared only several closed source offshoots, with very little given back to the open source solution from which they've been derived.

Well, how many open source ROMs are there available for Milestone?

If I should disappear tomorrow, anyone who wants to can take off and continue, as all the source and build instructions are public. That's the power of open source. Anyone, who's at least a little bit able to do so, can go on, fixing bugs and adding features.

Despite saying all that above, I have to mention that I also received great help and essential commits from handful of great people during the last 16 months. I just mention Skrilax_CZ here, who's work for making Milestone a better device has been exceptional. But there were more people involved. I just don't dare to list them in the fear of forgetting to mention someone :).

Uhm, to be clear, I don't plan to disappear any time soon :P.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Are you sure that's a bug? It sounds like the desired behavior to me... "hidden"=="there but not visible". I think what you'are looking for instead is a new option to disable the slider. That's a somewhat dangerous option though and tricky to support... what happens if you select it and you don't have a gesture configured? Or if you delete that gesture without reenabling the slider?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] M4zinkaiser:
Hi, strangely I have an issue with WiFi seems to me the 7.1.5 update damage it because till 7.1.4 (so actually before adhoc disabled modification) it worked. And I didn't had any issue from 7.1.2 to 7.1.4, how can i revert to 7.1.4 and previous settings? I search in tiwlan.ini but finded only WiFiAdhoc parameter (actually set to 0 by the way).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xda-con:
I have a problem with WIFI connection. Like said in the first page I had removed the /data/misc/wifi folder few times but it dosn't help. I have a simple WPA2/PSK wifi protected network. With 7.1.3 I haven't got any problem.

Dou you know something that I can try to fix that issue?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] venkat kamesh:
is this is 2.2 or the 2.3

i have problem with wi-fi-

i cant connect to any wi-fi ? why and how i can fix it?

thank you! (:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Does someone know has something changed in the overall system configuration between cm 7.1.1 and later versions (7.1.2 and up)? Because I have issues configuring application's autostarts. Usually I disable certain things with gemini app manager but recent versions fail to start while previous don't work properly in that part. The developer couldn't help me much. I thought it was busybox related but dev says app does not use busybox to do it's thing. Autorun manager pro has exactly the same issue as gemini. It fails to finish the task properly.

Downgrading busybox to 1.18.4 dind't help. It broke the system (sd-ext did not mount) but after i reinstalled gemini app manager (without sdext) it worked. That's why I assume that something has changed.

I've tried cronos ginger and the app (gemini) was working. For what I can remember theese problems did not exist prior cm 7.1.2. I've tried puting the app in system/app but didn't help. data/app is mounted at sd-ext so this would be useless, i think.

Maybe something has changed in mount points or system locations... Don't know. Is there something I can do to check where theese apps are failing and why?

Or if someone knows some app that can modify autostart conditions and works on this quite fascinating kabaldan's CM 7?

About wifi: make sure you have correct Wifi Regulatory domain selected.

Settings>Wireless & network>Wi-Fi settings>menu>Advanced>Regulatory domain.

Select appropriate value (11-US, 13-EU, 14-JP), then menu>Save
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Richardprins:
I have wifi issues as well but when I start airplane mode and then turn on wifi (airplane mode still enabled) I do find networks. When I'm connected I can switch airplane mode off again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Die Bruine:
WiFi

After a reboot WiFi would not auto connect. Whenever I turn on WiFi it says "connecting". When I try to press "scan" nothing happens. So I changed regulatory domain from 13 to 14 channels and now my networks are back again (after I pressed "" save"). Kinda strange, but it works. Strange because there were no problems before I rebooted my phone after initial WiFi setup.

Supercharger / V6 V8

Hi,

after I've smashed my HTC HD2 I bought Moto Milestone and rooted and flashed 7.1.4. and after I played too much and tweaked after the line and got bootloop :) I flashe 7.1.5.

I realized I've had to do something wrong, maybe with some hanging root permissions somewhere, cause now phone is usable.. I mean I compare Mile with 512MB RAM HD2..

And that makes me sad..

But as I told, for now it's OK..

Well, the question is:

Is there some advantage or is it good to install some of Zeppelinrox's tweaks/scripts?

One of them -V8 - gived me the bootloop and I did a clean install even I did not have to - some safety recovery zip exist, but..

So, anyone tried them? And the conclusion?

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Sorry for taking so long to reply.

You have to understand how Android works.

Basically, the system is set to keep around 32MB RAM free.

The RAM is used as needed, and it is also freed as needed, by two methods.

One part is the low memory killer - if the free RAM goes below the threshold, the less important processes are getting killed until the desired amount of free RAM is established again. The procedure to determine the importance of processes is rather complicated, and there are actually six different thresholds in play.

The other part is Garbage Collector - when invoked, it goes through the resources used by processes and frees those that are not referenced (=in use) anymore.

On phones with lots of RAM, the performance can be slightly increased by setting higher value to vm heap size, as that way, some CPU cycles, that would be otherwise taken by GC, can be spared at the expense of some wasted memory.

Setting too high vm heap size on 256MB RAM device with HDPI display is not wise, as the lower amount of GC calls is actually counter productive, resulting in unnecessary memory pressure. That's why I set the heap to only 24MB by default.

Furthermore, an immediate amount of free RAM, so often reported as some holy grail, is actually not telling any useful information. It all depends on what the system/apps have been recently doing, if and for what processes has been the GC already called, how much RAM is actually used by the app used to report the amount of free memory, and so on... If you run some RAM demanding game, and then you quit it and its process is killed, resources freed, you can easily see e.g. 100MB of RAM suddenly free. Of course, that RAM will be used again soon, not left unused for long, as the RAM simply has to be used, otherwise it would be wasted. The system will sooner or later settle at around 32MB kept free again...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuisLAN:
Anyone having trouble to sinc Twitter contacts. Everything works fine, but when it tries to sinc contacts to phonebook it crashes or gives an error. Only happening on last 2 versions of CM7 (on 7.1.2 it worked ok)

Any ideas on what could be causing this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
Does any one have problem with data transfer not from WiFi but from wireless network?

After install CM7 7.1.4 and then 7.1.5 I cannot connect to the cell network. I have verified the connection parameters and there is simply no E/3G/H displayed and Internet connection is not available.

Any ideas how to fix it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] M4zinkaiser:
I noticed also that problem, "seem" something sometimes was killed from process android? because i switch rapidly the data with power manager widget and everything get back to working state.

Still struggling with WiFi issue, i change the regulatory domain (I'm from Europe, so I choose 13, it was 11), tryed with airplane mode cycle but didn't manage my common router to work. says connecting but didn't work later... same die bruine situation i guess. reply if you solve the issue.

edit:

If i remove the old data/misc/wifi dir with all my user settings I lost all WiFi passphrase saved? :\ could i save or move it to the new path?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] repatch:
Lock screen bug

Just upgrade to 7.1.5

Everything works great, new animations are neat, except: I use the pattern lockscreen. When the phone is in "clock" mode, and goes to screensaver mode, the invocation of the lock screen results in a half blank screen, half background, with none of the lock circles displayed. The phone can be unlocked by pattern if you're very careful and GUESS where the circles are, but it's very difficult.

This bug wasn't there for 7.1.3 or 7.1.4.

I disabled all animations, no joy.

I disabled the lock screen completely (no pin or pattern lock) and it appears to work OK.

Not a huge deal, but for now, I think I have to stick with 7.1.3 or 4.

Thanks, TTYL
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] heavony.ivory:
here is more clear sample: CM7.1.5-T9 vs. Dialer ONE, look at the double char-set of the Dialer ONE.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grimpy:
i normally revoke the permission to receive boot completed which is as far as i know the only way to implement a start at boot for an app...

Solved, removed the old /data/misc/wifi/ and now everything working great ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mburrieza:
7.1.5 working great here. Not a single problem with wifi.

Love the animations and T9. Also seems a little more responsive and keeps my 15+hs of battery life. Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
My method to move apps to ext2 is quite difference from your!

I created a directory called sd in /system/ folder, and after restored all my apps, they were stored in /system/sd/apps folder.

So i wonder which method is better?

BTW, when check internal storage, it shows 62/197 mb.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
Same here.

I created /system/sd and then all the apps goes into that folder.

Installed 71 apps, now having 161/197MB
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Yes it is. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Yes it is stable, have been using it for a week now and everything works just fine.

Just one Reboot in one Week.

I can do titanium backup one by one but can't go batch backup like using schedule one. Anyone experiences the same?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
This is not the fastest ROM but it is the stablest ROM among the others I tried and it is good for daily use (at least for me).

Something comes up rare thought like Whatsapp may not open properly sometimes and you need to keep opening it one or two more times to get it working without closing itself automatically. Sometimes the notification didn't show up.

Screebl is not working by itself on this (don't know if it's not working for Froyo or GB). Manage to get it work together with tasker profile.

Titanium backup can't go batch backup but it's ok to do it one by one.

Not sure if you guys having the same stuff
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DomCowell:
I love CM7 so far, it has some nice little changes etc.

Only problem I have found, is that apps I have installed on the market are not installed after I turn the phone off and go back on it another time. For example, engadget is not longer installed, but was earlier and it appears on my home screen (well it says engadget, but the logo is now an android sign).

Any idea how to fix this error?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DomCowell:
Realised this error was actually me just being impatient. I believe it was because they are saved to my SD Card so they took time to load up an appear on my phone!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
I've had no issues with Titanium. The only issue I did have was restoring everything at once when the bigger apps weren't being moved to SD, which caused the backup to stop. All I needed to do was move those apps to SD and then start the batch "Restore All Missing Apps".
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 4tticuz:
Theres no "?" for me...

Someone knows why?

Thanks alot!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Has anyone had any issues with the more aggresive memory management in the latest update? I can't take any pictures or videos now unless I kill a lot of services. It seems that my camera app won't save anything, essentially quiting as soon as I take a picture or video unless I have 50Mb or more free. I have to kill 3g Watchdog, any larger (memory wise) widgets and even my keyboards (I need to de-select all keyboards in the keyboard settings). Even bluetooth pairing service needs to go until I can take a picture.

Is there a setting I can modify to ease up the manager or does that need to be done with the source before compiling?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
My camera is quite unstable and freezing a lot. It does work, but it's all messed up. I don't know how it was in previous CM7 releases and this is the first time I tried using, but in CM6 it worked perfectly.
