Gmail FC's every time I try to use it, Music is a little sketchy, but it seems usable. The screen on/off animations aren't there :( thats probably what i was most excited about. The camera works really well. No one texts me ever so I don't know how well that works. The phone just randomly rebooted sitting next to me on the desk. When its working, it is lightning fast. I'm digging this so far.

Edit: Gmail started working after a few hours (after I tried to email someone a picture from the gallery rather than opening the gmail app dirrectly, try it if you're having trouble).

the screen animations are really hard to find.

No random reboots since the first post.

Battery life would be a lot better if I stopped playing with my damn live wallpaper, its so cool that LWPs don't bog you down anymore.

This ROM is sexy, and already good enough for a daily driver.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Neldrin:
The animations are available, just search for them in the settings menu. The GMail no longer FC for me - try to wipe data and cache before applying the update. Also, I did not observe any random reboots. It's great, however the battery drains VERY quickly.. I OC'ed it to 900MHz and set the frequencies with SetCPU and set the interactive governor..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mousiope:
animations are available ... at least the screen on, screen off i also liked others that were made available by silesh or kalagas those were pretty sick too i hope someone makes a theme for this rom with them !

quadrant scores low ???? who cares? phone is flying finally i can play gt racing from gameloft its playable now, and the overall UI is flying just go to menu-setting applications-manage applications i had to w8 at least 15 seconds before i could scroll through all my apps, now is instant
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Is this happening right after a reboot? Cause I get that all the time within the first min of starting up. I get a screen freeze plus a FC prompt, but I always hit "wait" and a few seconds later it's back to normal. This happens because the system is still loading stuuf like root permissions for apps like SetCPU, etc.

If that's what's happening to you also it has nothing to do with the ROM itself and you'll potentially see it on just about every ROM, just depends on how much stuff you have on your homescreen. I have a lot stuff and 5 screens and this ROM is by far the best I've ever used.

Actually, I don't think I've ever "thanked" kabaldan on these threads! Doing that next.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
How many apps you move to sdcard? Try my suggested method.. trust me :)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Your advice is both right and wrong. Mostly wrong though.

Yes, the best way to have a smoother running OS is to move apps to ext2.

NO, it's NOT a good idea to move apps back to the internal memory if you are currently using the built in apps2sd method.

Moving apps back to the internal memory will make the situation WORSE than using app2sd because all those apps will use up nearly all the remaining internal memory which affects caching and will just slow things down further.

If you are using app2sd or app2ext2 or running all the apps internally, YOUR FREE RAM IS THE SAME if you are running the same apps in all 3 instances.

The only reason RAM gets freed up when using the built in app2sd and mounting USB is because all those apps get unloaded/killed from memory because they are no longer available.

But still that isn't so bad since it gives a the phone a nice flush without rebooting LOL.

I really get the feeling that you are confusing internal memory with RAM.

Well im trying to solve our common problem and it works for me. Glad if it helps ;)

How much RAM is after reboot and after longer work ?

About 30-40MB from what I see in Widgetsoid, "Free RAM" option.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ynoi64:
Hey, I have a question; If I install the CM7 RC1, will I be able to do a simple update using only wipe dalvik & cache through the OR when the full version comes out, or will I have to install a clean installation(with data wipe)?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Yes you will, no need to Wipe Data. ;)

I've just installed Dungeon Hunter 3.5.5, game tries to start, shows entry screen, but closes immediately afterwards.

Any ideas how can we make it work?

Thank you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
Nobody can make promises now, but a full wipe is usually not needed when upgrading the same ROM. There are a few exceptions, but with CM6 upgrades a full wipe was almost never necessary. You just need to wipe dalvik cache and /cache.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
I dont know what dungeon hunter is...could find on market. Did you mean dungeon defender?

If so, i could not get it to work on our phone. It requires an absurd amount of free RAM to start the game (upwards of 100)

I flashed 2.1 vanilla with no apps and could get it to work.

I think you need a 512mb phone for this...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Is it advisable to use app2EXT for CM7 or just stay with app2SD? :o
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gemini002:
No u dont need that much for dungeon hunter to work..it works on 2.2

For me facebook sync is not working. It's not the problem that the facebook account gets lost because facebook app is moved to sdcard... it just sais that sync problems occured.

so i deactivated facebook sync, reactivated it again and had a look at logcat.

there is a NullPointerException in the facebook api on the request that tries to get all facebook contacts. when executing this request in the browser, the returned json sais:

{"error_code":104,"error_msg":"Incorrect signature","request_args":...

Anyone has any idea why the the facebook app would generate a wrong signature?

Greets, Goddchen
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
You don't understand English too good, right?

I said that YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT MOVING APPS BACK TO INTERNAL MEMORY IF THEY ARE CURRENTLY STORED USING THE BUILT IN APP2SD FEATURE (on fat32 partition)

It's all good to utilize app2ext, it's ok to use app2sd, and it sucks to have everything in internal memory.

Capice? Or do I need to use a bigger font, USE MORE CAPS, make it bold and use more colours?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude:
im using cronos ginger 1.0.0 right now and i was told that it is based on an alpha build of CM7 and that this CM 7 RC 1 is more stable. Can anyone confirm this?

Regardless I would like to try out CM7 RC 1 and I would like to know if i need to do a factory restore before I can upgrade to CM 7 using androidiani?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
zeppelinrox: There's no need to shout here.

I'm glad that bijixda tries to help with the gingerbread's high RAM consumption and shares his findings.

My observations are different, but that's another thing.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Why don't you just let the app2ext do its job? Worst case scenario, you reformat your SD card after backing it up, and you redo your partitioning and don't use Link2SD but rather app2EXT.

So i was looking if there are any news on the Motorola Facebook page regarding the Bootloader of our device and Motorola wrote this:

Motorola Europe

Hello everyone. We will enable an unlockable/relockable bootloader in future software releases where our partners will allow it. Our team understands the operator requirement for security to consumers, and will look to strike a balance with supporting developers. We plan on including the unlockable/relockable bootloader in software releases late this year. Thank you for your feedback and questions regarding this topic.

Late this year... well lets see if this will lead to anywhere.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zankyw:
That was posted by them 5 months ago, there hasn't been any update on that topic, and they would have announced something already if they really intended to allow us to unlock the device.

You can use fufu's recovery to wipe ext partition. And after do a restore with titanium and see what happens.

make nandroid, flash original froyo, unlock your phone (if it works),

if it doesn't make a complaint to your operator.

flash vulnerable recovery, reinstall OR, restore nandroid.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
I managed to lock my SIM card and had to get an unluck (PUK) code from my operator a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I could find no way of entering the PUK using the CM7forMilestone ROM.

Fortunately, I had an old Nokia 6310 lying around and I was able to put the SIM in that and unlock it instantly. Then the SIM works normally in your Milestone.

I'm sure you could use ANY other phone to do this.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Thank you! It worked, but I was under the impression that moving dalvik to sd-ext would degrade performance. Is this true?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mburrieza:
It depends on the type of microSD that you use. In my case I have a 16GB Class-10 card and in real life its faster than the internal memory. Everything seems to work smoother in cm7.

Flash memory has a maximum number of write cycles and the more data that is modified with regularity, the less the flash will last. In most cases we are talking about years. Nandroids and important SD data should always be copied to an external disk outside the phone.

Anyway, I prefer a dead microSD card instead of a dead internal flash memory... its easier to replace ;)

Thanks for your answer. I'm from Argentina and can't find my original froyo sbf. I've a nandroid backup of the original rom made with the original recovery, can I applied this backup with the OR?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mburrieza:
I'm also from Argentina and I could unlock the phone with cm7 (Personal) some days ago. Just asked for the unlock code via chat support from their web page (after the contract expired), then install a different SIM card (Movistar) and the phone automatically asked for the unlock code, typed and voilà, phone is now unlocked. It was running cm7 11.09.30.

You can also try with the original nandroid, should be the same.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] parads:
I have Movistar Argentina, but now I'm on Spain and I've tried to unlock my MM with a Yoigo chip and another one but always get the same answer (something like "The unlock request haven't been succesfully.").

Now I'm going to try with my original nandroid backup, but when I want to do a nandroid backup of CM7 the OR freeze...

Same for me. I can't use Nandroid on my 16GB card, so I use a (dedicated) 1GB card only for Nandroid backups, that work like a charm.

Hi,

I have a question about the memory distribution, if i look into the System Panel App it shows me almost the same RAM usage for all Applications e.g. for Stardate Widget ~14-15MB and for the Android-Keyboard ~17MB. How come that the Widget which simply just shows the Date on the Workspace use the same amount of RAM wouldnt it run with 6mb too. Can i minimize the allocation of RAM or make it more dynammical.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jorgemariom:
I asked the same question

I asked the same question
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] janosik47:
I think the SystemPanel shows not enough details to determine the real usage, consider shared and private mem usage...

There is a nice page to learn a bit more about memory usage: http://elinux.org/Android_Memory_Usage
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mburrieza:
You only have a limited number of unlock attempts. Remember not to play with the attempts left in entering the unlock code which could result in hard locking of your phone. The attempts are not stored in the nandroid backup, so changing ROMs will not reset the counter. The possibilities are asking for the code to the operator or buy the code, there are several sites that provide the service.

There is a fix in nadlabak site for SD card read/write errors: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads/detail?name=OR1.46_extfs_mmcfix_update.zip

If you use AOR there is also a "scandisk SD & ext" commands in AOR util option.After that fix the nandroid backup usually works.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] parads:
With the original rom the MM don't let me put the unlock code, it shows a text about go to the cellphone company.:confused:

I restore my last cm7 nandroid backup, and this rom ask me about the code but keeps telling me that "The request was not successful" :confused:

On other topic, when I restore my nandroid backup of CM7, it hangs the phone when is restoring the ext2 partition. The phone turn on but I have not any app (only the dial, standard message app, and some like this) :(

I'm not really much of a mobile gamer but I like to launch Angry Birds from time to time and starting a few days back the game became simply unplayable. Choppy gameplay after a minute and after a few more game would simply force close. It seems that lowered VM heap size (24M) is the culprit here and setting it to 32M solved the problems.

So if anyone's having trouble with games - trying changing VM to higher level.

I've just flashed the latest Odexed version of CM7, and HOLY CRAP! What did you do with it kabaldan? 50 mbs of free RAM on my milestone? OMG!!!!

I haven't seen that since shadowmod waaaaaaaaaay back when froyo was news for everyone.

Everything seems to be running better. I couldn't play angry birds before, because it would slow to crawl after a few minutes playing it, and it would usually get so slow that it crashed to the desktop/ force closed.

Also, I couldn't help, but notice that Zeam Launcher scrolling's got much smoother for no reason at all, I just flashed the October 12, 2011 nightly and BAM, everything feels faster.

I've played with it for only half an hour, I'll give it a more thorough testing in the coming days, and I'll try to report any problems I find.

Great work!

edit: LOL, 85mb of free ram right now, and with whatsapp/swype/3gwatchdog/operadoraDDD/google services/market running !

It's a freaking miracle (or a bug :p)

Oh, you are right, it's even faster without internet acess. But I'd sugest you just revoke the app's permission to acess the internet, then you won't have to shut of your internet conection. I did this and it's working great.
