a quick question about performance

I am using 7.0.0 at the moment. however, every time I run programs, such as navigation program, donkey jumps, ninja jumps, fruit slice, my milestone will become laggy.

Is it because I installed them on the SD card? according the first post kabaldan mentioned, "revert to not moving dalvik-cache to sd-ext (it causes also other performance issues, so I'd disable it anyway),"

so, will 7.0.1 fix this? I cannot stand with the lagging wile using navigation...:(

hi sileshn, which one u use??

i think i flash with this one.but i afraid if it doesn't work ,i cant flash back to normal gtalk

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13330426&postcount=20

update: it work!!! but i think kabaldan already put the apk in today update, because gtalk version are same
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Yup, that's the one i used. No probs.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
We should just wait. :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Subbie171:
Its working here so far. But youre safer using that gtalk standalone update as i got a few crashes using talk from that package. (I later installed the stand alone one)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rampee:
Uh oh, we're stuck with the buggy kernel forever then :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] boonhoong:
That's expected. I don't think we're going to see anymore SW development effort from Moto for the Milestone :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Sad case! :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rampee:
Hmm, I have had no problems with it as of now. It felt a little laggy which could have been due to the bad internet connection here.

But thanks for the tip! Maybe that's why that GApps for CM wasn't finalized yet, dunno.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Looks like CM7 7.1 for other devices will be ready in two weeks.

Dont know if gapps for cm7 will be updated before that...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gs111:
So what are the reviews on CM7.1.0 RC0 11.5.03? Are you finding it stable? Fast? Bugs fixed?

To be honest, my "0.08-11.04.24 CM7.0.1" is working so well that I am suddenly hesitant to change it out!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Time to get a Nexus type of Android phone in future.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rampee:
Been using it since morning (12 hours now to be precise). Looks good. From the stability perspective I think every release after RC4 has been stable, even for above average use.. and this one should probably be the most stable of them all (if not for 7.0.1)

I don't know if it's just my perception but it seems as though my battery life has slightly improved. Will post details in a few days.

If you're on 7.0.1 and find that good I guess there's no need to switch now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
In the changelog I see:

- fail safe: play the default ringtone if the customized one is not available

Please tell me that now custom ringtones works... it's the feature that I need most on the phone (I'm actually using Cyano6 because of that)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eami:
it was working on previous builds as well ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Not on my Milestone. However, thanks for your feedback, I'll try it now.

I'll be really happy to update from Cyano6, but I need a ROM with working custom ringtones.

EDIT: Testing in progress. Only 1 call on 10 played the default ringtone, but I was playing an HD game. Hope it will work :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gs111:
I loaded it a few hours ago... seems stable and similar to 7.0.1

In fact, I can't even tell what is new in 2.3.4!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Haha same here. But just trying to figure out the battery life now ... :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] arttree:
7.1.0-RC0-11.05.03 (2.3.4)

Android 2.3.4 - lots of fixes (e.g. the RTSP stream playback - http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13715 and many others)

- qwertz/qwerty/azerty keyboard can be selected in Settings>CyanogenMod settings>Input>Keyboard layout (no need to change the layout in OR after every update any more for those who don't have euro-qwerty phone)

- backlight animations enabled what is this?

- option to display AM/PM clock in status bar

- DSP Manager: equalizer presets

- fail safe: play the default ringtone if the customized one is not available

- ADW catalogs navigation via swipe added what is this?

- other fixes >> Anyone know these fixes are?

So the MS can display battery level in step of 5%?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
No, it cannot, as far as i know. Only ones supported are 0,5,15,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90 & 100. Rest will be ignored.

That must be the default on CM sources, probably.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
No. The kernel driver reports only in 10% steps (unless below 20%, then in 5% steps).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
backlight animations enabled - smooth transitions of backlight brightness when light sensor detects change, in Auto Brightness mode. (as in Froyo)

ADW catalogs navigation via swipe added - if you have set up catalogue groups, you can switch between them in ADW app drawer via swipe left/right, plus group name will be displayed in toast message.

other fixes: e.g. FC when adding calendar widget to desktop when using arabic locale... sorry, I really don't have time to list every small change, plus there are so many small fixes/changes in 2.3.4, it's not feasible to dig all of them and list them. Google is not providing detailed changelog either.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Same to me, the problem is still here.

I don't know where is located the problem, surely it's not a free RAM issue because they didn't works even with 88 MB free RAM (tested 5 minutes ago); in CM6 custom ringtones works perfectly even when playing with PSX emulator.

Please Kabaldan fix it in the next release, I want to upgrade to CM7 but I need custom ringtones :)

digitizer?

i read on the forums that its a common problem, even on the nexus one

its not only in games, but overall

i tried the multitouch visible test and it still showed the 2nd dot when i released my thumb while not moving my other thumb
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] inkognito3:
i dont have problems with that...nexus and htc desire have this problem...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
is it because im still on the GOT leaked 2.2 sbf?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
The digitizer is basically the touch screen. What I find odd is the fact that you have tried two different ROMs and they both give you the multitouch issues. They aren't even on the same version of Android/Kernel. I think it might be hardware.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Creating themes for CM7 is very different from themes for other roms. It uses a new format called the T-mobile theme engine, which takes some time to learn. You can find details here.

I have not even looked into it. If it were the old way of update.zip, i would have had no problem. If you are willing to try out a update.zip method, i will be glad to make a theme for you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shiyou:
is there a way to calibrate the touch screen orso?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Blitzz666:
it's the best rom I ever had,but why games like galaxy on fire 2,nova 2 or star battalion won't work.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] inkognito3:
yeas it says u need 2.3 but what about hardware (processor or rams )

u need lot of rams and MM does not have it...maximum 70-90 free rams...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
Very simple, my friend.... everything is related with RAM,as well, not just Google's version. Don't forget that Milestone has very little RAM(256Mb)... and in these kind of games (correctme if I'm wrong) requires a device with at least 512Mb.

shame on google too that needs 512mb to run a mobile os..

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] liranvaknin:
Maybe this is a stupid question but using zeppelinrox is good for my CM7 running milestone?

Or is it over hyped and only make things worse?

In brief:

Using zeppelinrox supercharger settings VS CM7 stock setting

Who wins this fight?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
I'd believe that zeppelinrox's script to supercharge has better memory management, but it is up to the user to actually notice the difference.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gs111:
zeppelinrox scripts are effective, but they are trade-offs. They don't improve memory management, instead them encourage the memory-manager to kill background tasks more quickly, leaving more RAM available for the foreground task.

So with those scripts, you are giving up multi-tasking to get better foreground performance... which is fine if that is what you need.

But if you are running out of RAM anyway, they don't help very much. As the milestone runs out of memory, it is killing all background processes anyway... the scripts only alter the thresholds at where it starts. The end result (amount of free memory to run the game) is always the same.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
You're very obviously wrong to anybody who bothered to look into it. Like I did.

In latest cm the apps are in slot 5 and get killed at 26 mb and slot 6 is 32 mb.

In my V6 the apps are in slot 3 and get killed at 26 mb or below.

Then there are still slots 4 and 5 for the apps to drop to if inactive.

Slot 6 is usually at about 30 mb for most scripts and manages memory more like goggle intended with apps fading down the list but with the launcher being hard to kill.

So in cm you can have them killed at 26 mb with no room for them to either fade away gracefully or get recalled - unlike my MORE multitasking friendly memory management.

Thanks for posting so I could explain precisely why V6 SuperCharger is so effective.

But they work properly? Could you post what they say about that gapps?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
According to the thread on Reddit, they were pulled from XDA and people say the video chat works with the N1, not sure what that does to affect the Milestone though.

Hate to be a bother, but don't have time to flash both and try:

In general, what is the difference in RAM usage/availability between CM6 and newest CM7 builds on Milestone? i.e. how much free RAM available, how much available under "average" use, how slow does it get when running out of RAM, etc.

Problem with google widget voice search

Thanks for this great rom. I have been using CM7 as my main rom now for some time with always great results.

I hope you can help me with this though.

the voice search feature (microphone icon on the google widget) have stopped working since i ported to CM7.

when i press the icon it forwards me to the app market and says"

==there are no matches in android market for the search : pname:com.google.android.voicesearch==

i run the file "gapps-gb-20110503-signed.zip" after i ran the cm7 update from open recovery and in the same way.

Voice search works perfectly with CM7, it just doesn't come installed out of the box, also voice search is only made available on Market to certain carriers. I used to have your problem so I downloaded Market Enabler from Market and enabled Verizon Settings to trick Market into believing that's my carrier. After doing that I tapped on the voice search butto of the Google Search Widget and it took me to the download of Voice Search in Market. It should work for you too.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sabaramo:
It is hardware actually. I havent had my phone for abut 5 months now while its being fixed.

It is a digitizer issue but there have been some people mentioning that it is purely humidity that can do it.

do a search for "milestone screen problem" in youtube and you will see there is a heap of people with the same problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
You can take your Milestone and seal it in a bag with some rice or something. People say that the dry rice will absorb any humidity that is in the phone, but I haven't tested it. There's a thread in General Discussion that talks about an extreme way to fix it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
In my case it was not humidity, as Motorola Warranty doesn't cover excess of humidity and it seems there is something inside the phone that gets red whenever humidity is too high so they can void your warrany. Motorola change my touch screen on Warranty, according to the technician, the failure was due to mechanical issues, so I guess my issue was with the flat cable insulation wearing out due to the keyboard sliding in and out.... Note: I barely use the physical keyboard and my phone had about 6 months when the touch screen issue occurred.

Good luck.
