I have some weird sleep behaviour with my phone. Apologies for the poor screencap: http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k160/PhoenixIllusion/snap20110314_020425.png

The screen is only on for when the 'Awake' bar is solid. All the little dashes happen when the screen is off. This is probably why the 'Screen On' and 'Running' times in Spare Parts don't match up, even though nothing appears to be holding a wakelock.

EDIT: Have tried turning off Background Data but this has made no difference.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Oh o okay! :D Thanks!

Added that line to test now =D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Yep. just be sure you have the permissions set correctly.

I posted a cap at the end of the OP to show what the permissions look like (using SuperManager)

Before you go buy another battery, be sure to read about how I calibrate the battery.

You won't have downtime while calibrating and you can actually monitor the charging process.

Mine went to 4230mV when calibrating with the plug in, left it for awhile extra, unplugged it and it was at 4196mV (screen caps are in the linked post)

Now, everytime I charge it, it goes to 4230mV.

If I leave it plugged in long enough (20 minutes extra), it will stay slightly above 4200mV after unplugging it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aumkar:
Okay, I have the little dashes of awake too ( 3 in 10 hours ), but my spare parts says its been awake for a little over an hour. I unplugged before I went to sleep, used some twitter, watched some youtube, and then answered a call and a few messages in the morning.

My autosync is on, phone's on 3G and spare parts lists the highest usage as Android System. I strongly suspect that this is due to wifi/network triangulation ( AGPS ) being enabled in Location and Security settings.

Anyhow, on 3G with autosync ( wifi off ) battery dropped to 70% after 10 hours. Well technically, it dropped from 90% to 70% in that much time because I was streaming before I hit the sack. So I think the battery life is quite alright.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Does anyone have issue of ... when a phone calls come in, your phone will start to ring only much later? and when you are talking to the person, the person can't seem to hear you?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aumkar:
^ Thats because of the 3000ms ring delay. That can be fixed in build.prop. As for the latter, I haven't experienced that at all.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Thanks bro!

So I should change to 1000ms for a faster ring or 5000ms? :D

(why should there even be a delay I wonder... won't you want to know your calls coming in, faster?) enlighten me please! :D

then also, anyone knows where I can find icons that is alphabets like A-D, E-H, etc etc? I want to use for contacts with SiMi Folder. =P direct link please. Cause I'm looking through ICON SETS, so many pages! o.o
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aumkar:
Its ring delay. A lower value means less delay. Mine's at 500ms.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Okay I set to 1000ms. So, know why should there even be a delay? :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aumkar:
Because it can vibrate first?

Or for people like me, I see the screen go on and pick up the call before the phone rings since my phone's always on my desk.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
I see. Alright. =D Because if my phone don't ring, it seems like my Dialer doesn't load for me to answer the call.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
Which kernel are you using? Bc I got 4 reboots while navigating yesterday and several freezes while browsing (Dolphin HD browser).

I'm going to try the 0.04 kernel now, my last hope...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] duchu:
i have a problem with wifi. It looks like connect and disconnect, even if im downloading something from market. In previous version this thing doesnt exsist, can anybody tell whay ? How to trick it ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
Yeah, me too, very happy with it :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
What if you use AMM to change the values and then uninstall the app? I guess the values are still stored but you don't have AMM anymore taking any RAM?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] carthikv12:
I'm having a pretty major issue right now... when i call someone, the phone rings alright, but when they pick up, it drops the call and reboots... I tried using the older kernel and it worked for 5 seconds before dropping the call and rebooting again. no issues when i get a call though and no issues when they don't answer either.

Has this been reported earlier? I had problems with battery on RC3 but switched cos it kept dropping calls that morning very regularly - like every 20 seconds or something. RC2 was working great for me till i noticed this!

the only tweaks i've done is the JIT and screen dithering turned off, task killer @ aggressive with launcher in memory, and overclock to 1ghz@58vsel, 550@34, 250@22 and 125@18... phone is running really smooth with great battery otherwise...

any help is much appreciated!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
@carthikv12: I would recommend turning off your mem manager. As even the "mild w/ launcher" is a setting that is already too harsh on a CM7 rom. We simply do not have the RAM (all the glorious 256MB) to support it.

Thing is, the only way I know of to remove the mem hack is to reflash CM7. Or to use third party software such as "autokiller memory optimizer".

Btw, I see alot of talks going on about "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=-1" in "/data/local.prop".

Can anyone explain what exactly it will do?

After trying the new version of GO EX for a few days, I went back to ADW EX. Same as somebody said, I miss having my app drawer at full screen. And with animations. :p In terms of speed, I can see no noticeable performance improvements between my use of ADW EX and GO EX.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aumkar:
Giant mistake. Its killing the dialer. Turn it down to mild or default.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
That was my first thought precisely. Those memorykillers kill every app, even your call or messaging app while using it!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I suspect it's the aggressive task killer.

Just reflash everything again and leave everything as it is and see if u still have the dropped calls or reboots.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
If you're talking about the memory tweeks I doubt kabaldan will change the current default settings since it is what he believes to be the best. I'm pretty sure each phone behaves differently from each other and also the performance depends on the apps used, widgets, etc, that's why you need to find the best settings for YOUR phone.

It's not really that complicated, read the thread from zeppelinrox on Droid and MS General forum.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
It will give launcher even higher priority, changing from visible_app to foreground_app with -1 priority. This would make launcher less prone to be killed but I'm not using since it could get higher priority that the current app you're really using and have it killed before the launcher, which I won't like ;).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] carthikv12:
First of all, thanks for the really quick replies!

i applied the memory killer from the OR (Androidiani) as i did for the shadowmod versions... didn't realize that could have a negative effect... anyway i'll probably reflash tonight or is there any chance that i can tweak that using zepplinrox's thread? because i was already considering doing some tweaks from that to keep my launcher alive - it gets killed very often.

THANKS!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
After a week of using RC3, my opinion is that it needs more work, after a day of using the phone it becomes laggy. I have to reboot it avery once in a while so it's snappy again. Didn't have this with RC1 or HoboMod.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
U can put -234255 priority so even if your phone is off, launcher will work! (Lol, no :p). Systems oom(priority) is -16 I think, dialer is -12.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Ow I get it. So it changes the OOM values... Thanks for the reply!

@n3: You're correct with the -16 and -12 oom values. ;) I just checked AMM now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brysonwong:
Try increasing your VMheap to 40mb. I changed and notice far greater performance on my phone tho.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Mrdaviso:
I have to run my vm at 256mb to run lwp's. Hopefully cm figures this out before the final releases are made. I am on a mt4g by the way.

Sent from a 100% functional ROM. BT WIFI AND ALL! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Yup! Happened to me too. For the first time I experienced 3 random reboots in a day after using the setting "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=-1"
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
Once a time I tried to use 125Mhz when screen off by using SetCPU profile, the phone was damn slow that hardly react to any incoming calls (phone ringed, but the screen took so long to light up and the call just off). When getting back to 250Mhz as min it works fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Oh. So did you change back?

I've switched back.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
The odd thing is that after I did a reboot, and check the file, that "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=-1" line disappeared. So I didn't need to revert back.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jonatasmz:
for sure this was answered here but...

where i can change the VMHEAP to 40?

the higher i can in CM7 it´s 32

cya
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Oh because you need to leave another (blank) line after that last line. so means the blank line at the last.

So means you never had "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=-1" at all.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Edit /data/local.prop
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Wrong :p. This is where u change - data/property/persist.sys.vm.heapsize.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Oops I was confuse with heapsize and the -1 thing. LOL.

Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Ok now about my battery. This is what I got after 10h+, now 5%.

Display was on for 4h.

Here's a usage graph.

While screen was on, I was mostly surfing with browser and Tapatalk, and maybe 1h of playing games(Angry Birds, SpeedX 3d, Doodle Fit, PES 2011).

So, is this good battery life?

Edit: running on 1GHz@56vsel(pretty low, gonna change to 58 now.)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
See page 2 of the supercharge thread in my sig!

Also, you can use ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0 (zero) instead of ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=-1

This will give your launcher equal priority to the app that you are currently using.

I haven't had any crashes...

@pcphobic - your phone is rebooting without the tweak.

So did those errors go away

without

changing your heap size?

Or did you change it back, change heap and still have the errors?

I can't imagine having more screen redraws with the launcher set to priority 0 or -1. If you do, then you have more serious configuration problems then just a redrawing home screen.

It means that you are always running without ANY free memory for anything.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
It was at 32MB Veap when I set it to -1. That's when the reboots occured.

So based on your second comment, anything you think I should do to check?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jonatasmz:
guys....

how can i set a proxy on a wifi connection on CM7?

Still can´t get snesoid to load any rom.

Others emu are working fine. This could be a gb incompatibility? Dont know if on other gb roms snesoid works...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
I'll try it for you and tell if it works :).

Edit: nope,black screen and back to menu. I guess its not GB-friendly.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
Me 2, and whatsapp closes everytime I open it. I'm switching to =0, let's see if that makes any difference....

switched back to the older kernel too, hoping that will end the freezes and reboots.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
It is subjective. One person's usage is different from the other. Only you will know it for yourself based on your own "normal" usage.

Take myself for example.

Everyday I surf a couple of websites for about 20 minutes and most of the day it will be idle on 2G and answering some sms and Gtalk msg (while on 2G).

On stock Android 2.1 after 12 hours, I would still have around 30% to 40% batt left.

On CM6 after 8 hours my battery would be at the 15% mark.

On CM7 RC1, after 12 hours I would have about 40% to 50% battery left.

On CM7 RC2, after 12 hours I would have between 70% to 80% left.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] debasser:
my battery have the same bad life...

don't understand why.....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
thanks :) I guess we should wait for a new version.

Stupid question, can the low battery sound alert be disabled? Its scary :D

Just the sound, not the warning dialog...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
So, thats bad life? Crap :S
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tdnrad:
My GPS doesn't work with CM7. Every time I open maps as soon as it attempts to locate me with GPS the screen freezes and I can't do anything (unless I turn GPS off).. sometimes it will let me turn off the screen and will eventually just crash and other times it won't and I'll need to pull the battery out.

I haven't seen any posts about this (maybe I missed them) but I'm starting to think it's just me. I've tried re-wiping and re-applying but no luck. Any ideas?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] debasser:
oh, yea, i think bad...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
I had a problem with sygic, but it was for the version didn't support gingerbread. Since i change/upgrade to v.8.24 i haven't had any issue with GPS!

Hi guys. I unpacked and copied the older kernel to the latest zip file and applied that update. Now how do I know if I'm running the older kernel?

It's version: 2.6.32.9-g4bc8ed0
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
Yup, that's the older one

You check in settings /about the phone/ kernel compilation

or something like that.

I have a "big" problem. I have installed the ROM, but I don't know why, after some modifications the menù link (the button all down, between phone and browser) is gone. So I can't enter menù :)

Luckily I use Apps Organizer so I have no particular need, but how can I recreate the link?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
You mean the one which open the app drawer? ?

Really easy ...

Tap in a empty part of your screen as you wanted to create a widget and choose launcher actions and then choose open/close app . Once in there drop it to the right place

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
So if its fixed, what did you change?

Regardless, you can try making the launcher a priority of 0 instead of -1

You can check to see what is using up alot of memory such as live wallpaper.

Pretty sure a larger cm heap would help with live wallpaper users ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
I don't really get what are the implications of changing the VM Heap size. I understand what it does which is basically the amount of memory the app have available, but what happens if I lower or raise the value?

As I understand, the app will break into 2 or more processes if it needs more memory above the heap size, right? What is the downside of this split?

Maybe Kabaldan can enlighten us a bit on this matter... :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] carthikv12:
Ok, I tried reflashing CM7 - in AOR, i wiped cache, dalvik and factory reset twice and reflashed CM7, RC2, this time no tweaks at all apart from overclock... same thing happened, when the other line picks up, it reboots!

I have to add this overclock has been reliable for many weeks now, never had any issues... 1ghz@58vsel, 550@34, 250@22 and 125@18.

Thanks again!

Carthik
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cucisan:
after 2 days of testing this rom i guess its back to cm6 for me...

its a nice preview as stated.. but got some weird problems -> market opens suddenly, notifcations disappear (alarmdroid, running downloads).

did a full factory reset etc..

and the overall responsiveness is far from cm6... cm6 is in any way smoother (not talking about benchmarks here)

though i will miss the cursor placement button + copy/paste... the best things about 2.3 (for me) ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DiaboluZ:
I am getting "package file was not signed correctly" when trying to update handcent and system panel lite using Market. Any idea how to solve it?

NFS Shift not passing EA opening screen

Other things seems good. Nice release already, thanks kabaldan :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Just to answer some questions.

CM7 is not officially released for any phone, so Milestone can't be any different. It's still a work in progress.

In addition, any 2.2 or 2.3 Milestone ROM depends on the 2.6.32 kernel (part of the signed boot.img) and the 2.2 proprietary closed sourced binaries, which are yet to be delivered by Motorola in their final release quality. The files/kernel we are using and depending on at this time are all unfinished betas, so the CM6 can't be anything more than beta (though the CM6 generally is released and stable otherwise). Therefore the generally unfinished CM7 can't be anything more than alpha at this point in the case of Milestone.

I'm glad that all the basic hardware interface issues to get the 2.3 aka Gingerbread running on Milestone seem to be resolved. :)

There are still many CM fixes/features not ported from froyo version to gingerbread yet, plus new things in progress. The CM developers are working hard on it, and I'm adding my humble small contributions too. Please be patient.

On the other hand, I won't be implementing the memhack/dalvik-cache on /cache hack, as I see it rather dangerous, as many people were running out of space on /cache partition without realizing, which leads to all sorts of errors. It's simply rather bad approach, so I scratched its support.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Menelkir:
I have some reboots here without any reason, but looks very stable to my use.

All applications are working fine.

BTW, thanks again kabaldan for this release
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
Almost 3 days, and i have no problem with this release, and now, im downloading update version. Battery is quite good, but cant compare with cm6.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hahaboy:
i tried apply Gapps uodate , but no gmail n maps. how to fix it ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
Indeed, memhack (moving dalvik cache to /cache) is not working for gingerbread (cm7 and aosp). Sometime it stuck on M logo, or android logo looping. Sometime work with some fc.

Im investigating the problem, now i found dalvik can not find dex cache when different partition (file not found error). Maybe the script is too late to be put in init.d
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
Download and install market enabler, choose t.mobile and fake, then search gmail ang maps on market.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
You may try re-apply the packages but first stop google framework or download both from Market.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Hi Kabaldan, is it possible to implement the 2.3 Keyboard CM7 has, into other ROMs? I am using HoboMOD 1.2 and I would like to have again greek language available to type with my 2.3 Gingerbread keyboard.

Can we do it through an update.zip maybe, or via an .apk?

Thank you for your time.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
You can simply take the LatinIME.apk and libjni_latinime.so from CM7.

It's opensource, so you can also try to persuade the author of another ROM to not use the LatinIME sources from AOSP, but from this repo:

https://github.com/nadlabak/android_packages_inputmethods_LatinIME

the dictionaries are here:

https://github.com/nadlabak/android...ommon/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME/java/res
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Thank you very much for your immediate response.

From what I understand, I download your CM7 ROM and find those 2 files in the .zip and copy them in my /system using Root Explorer?

Sorry if this sounds like a newbie question, but i haven't done modding like this yet. Just changing/updating ROMs.

:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hahaboy:
but.. every time update also need to do same things ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Your overclock settings is too low... nobody uses 125mhz..too unstable.

For the top end, try 1Ghz@60vsel
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Yes, do not use me for comparison because each of us have our own usage.

So my suggestion to all of you is to do your own benchmarking test.

If u want to follow my benchmark, you can use the Overnight Battery Life Test.

Remove all widgets, set Facebook app to manual refresh and no notifications.

Fully charge your battery using bump charging then unplug it and leave phone to 2G, turn off wifi, bluetooth and GPS.

Go to sleep. Wake up next morning and take note of the battery drain.

Using back the same Overnight Battery Life benchmark test, I am certain RC2 gave better battery life.

My other test is to see how much battery drain surfing on 3G for 20 minutes. My usual battery drain is 10% in 20 minutes of surfing on 3G. I still remember back when I was testing CM6, in 20 minutes I lost 30% of Battery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I agree.

That's a good strategy to start with.

Mine can do 1000@58 vsel but I'm pretty sure my brother's milestone needs 60 vsel
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
I am still kind of getting redraw though. My setting is now =1. Or should I put =0?

Which "lock in memory" should I tick? The CM settings or my GO Launcher one? :o Or both? Or none?

Which app should I be using to check? I am not using Live wallpaper.
