I've had the battery drop issue for many months now. It's been so long since I last used the official Motorola release that I can't remember if it happened on that too, but I have a sneaky suspicion it's a hardware problem rather than something in the ROM. My phone jumps from around 43% to 19%, seemingly only when I'm loading the phone by browsing the web or playing solitaire or something like that. It doesn't seem to happen if I let the phone discharge slowly with the screen off.

If I then let the phone discharge down to say 1 or 2% and then plug in the charger, the battery display jumps up to 20% immediately and then slowly increases to 100%. I can't see how it would make a difference, but I use a Blackberry charger (super-long, thin and supple cable, swappable plug adapters) rather than the one Motorola provides.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mathk:
may be you need to "forget the network" and re-connect it after flashing the rom...or may need to repeat the process every time you connect to that wifi hotspot:eek:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
You tried other ROMs? Don't experience this on others.

It could possibly be your battery?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] walker666:
Also having trouble with uploading screenshoots through xda android app...

Anyways I'm using Go launcher and after 12 hours of usage(mostly listening to music and browsing, few calls(20minutes sum)) and my battery is at 69%.

Go launcher used only 2%, and display used most of it(23%)...

Not sure why R U experiencing battery drains with Go launcher...

:(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
I have the same problem with the battery drops and jumps after plugin charger. Moreover, i have noticed the lags in the 2011-09-30 version the last nightly run very smoothly but this version is far slower. Any ideas? Is there any update comming? Maybe next version with 2.3.7 will be more stable i have expirened for the first time restart to cm logo ;( but still we have the best rom ever ;) !!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mburrieza:
Im OK with Go Launcher and Cm7.1.0 9/30. More than 24 hs with light use and about 15hs with normal usage (Great and Very fast ROM).

That email.apk also seems to have some problem in the screenshot. Maybe you can disable push if you use Exchange or re-install it (The same for Go Launcher). Other possibility is the battery not calibrated or almost dead cell (The spec of the original bat is 500 recharges for 50% capacity loss, I am way over that N° of recharges).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
Can someone tell me whether battery and performance can match latest latest FM? Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] w4tchout:
Just tested the latest 7.1.0 release and must say it's the smoothest CM7 release for me so far. Great job kabaldan! Keep it up :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
Bro... do never compare Latest CM7 with FM.... One is Froyo and other is Gingerbread.

No offence :)

Its just "how is Windows XP compared to Windows 7" if used in same HW, XP is way lighter...

Just to make clear that it can never be compared. 89Luca89 is a great DEV...

Cheers
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
:D

While I hate these misleading analogies, if you really want to compare it this way, then I think that better analogy could be: eclair is XP, froyo Vista, gingerbread W7... ;)

Anyway, I'd like to see some random procrank outputs taken when running froyo. Can someone post a few of them (from different random times while using the phone the usual way)? Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
Thats what i meant!!!! LOL

Ive neverv tasted FM... im pretty much fine with CM7!!!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] guitarhero923:
I'm doing not bad with this ROM so far. But I am using Zeam Launcher cause it is lightweight, but I am experiencing freezing problems, very few though, and the camera freezes after taking 1 picture. My battery usage isn't bad. At %19 after 14 hours. I usually have UberMusic running all day at school. And periodic Facebook checks, and the occasional Google Search. But, just as time goes by with using ROMs other than Eclair based, the ROM gets slower, which bothers me. Like. I would be using the EclairLiTE Telus ROM or whatever, but I think the only way to set up Apps2SD is by formatting your SD card, which I don't want to do. And there are so many feature I love about GB ROMs, that aren't in Eclair ROMs. I've be torn trying to decide. But you're ROM keeps getting better, and better, and I'm sure, my speed will increase, as well as battery.

Hey Boys, why there is in the build.prop no entry for the GPU Acceleration like: "debug.sf.hw=1"

Maybe there would be better performance in the Launcher-Desktop?? Don´t know.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
debug.sf.hw property can be used only to disable the acceleration (when set to 0), not to enable it. It's enabled by default.

See https://github.com/nadlabak/android...nger/DisplayHardware/DisplayHardware.cpp#L127

Hi kabaldan,

I encounter a lot of freezes and slow down since the last version, seems to happen more often when my wifi is on.

I've attached the dmesg log, hope you can help identify the problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
This is the batter results after the new 7.1.0-11.10.05 (Android 2.3.7) and with LPP launcher and not GO.

So instead of 6 hours with 18% battery remaining, this time it only dropped 8% in 6 hours.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
Well... you see, kabaldan, 89luca89, who knows really well how milestone has to manage the little RAM this device has say "Do Not use Supercharger" cos' it may causes malfunctions in daily use.

I (personally) value and admire so much Zeppelirox's hard work, but Milestone has toooooo little RAM, so if you mess around with, Do it At Your Own Risk!

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
Not trying to be an ass, but I never saw a recognized ROM developer recomending supercharger, most of them either do not recommend it (like Kabaldan) or strongly don't recommend it (like Villain Rom developers)... Some guys that just tweak existing ROMs use it to try to differentiate their ROMs from the original...

Again, not trying to be an ass, I know several ppl love Supercharger, my respect to them and to Zepellinrox, but, I've tried it myself and did not like it, got browser consistently working as slow as a Java Feature phone when using heavy pages, the effect seems to last only after a fresh boot over some hours, them everything start to work like if supercharger was not installed (i.e.: can't play Game X, after installing supercharger, Game X works, after some hours of uptime, if I try Game X again, it won't work again until a reboot).

My take on it: after my personal experience and reading the reasoning most developers use against it, I believe you are better without it...

But, hey, that is the beauty of having nandroid backups, just make one, install supercharger and test it by yourself... If you don't like it, you can simply revert back to your nandroid backup... ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] CeBits:
For those who are getting App market crashes (vending blah blah) do this.

Settings > Language & keyboard > Language > English (US) even if English (US) is already set set it again. This should do the trick.

Solution no.2

Uninstall market updates. With root explorer navigate to /system/app and move MarketUpdater.apk to a different location. Just move it don't delete it in case you may need it at some point.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Much of what you say is true and some used to be true.

Most recognized devs don't like it for whatever reason.

Something about not messing with android memory because it's "fine as is" - even though all roms probably utilize the ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 trick.

This alone contradicts this philosophy tho... ;)

Also, I think alot of it is also because I'm having alot of fun with it and don't like my attitude - which I can see happening.

I can appear to be quite an arrogant ass after all - most of the time on purpose (boomstick, "hail to the king", blah blah blah... lol)

89luca89 did try and supercharge once or twice but he did it wrong each time and has been adamently opposed ever since :rolleyes:

kabaldan, I have nothing but respect for. He's a class act and probably a freakin genius.

I know he doesn't like it but I'm pretty certain he would have looked at it objectively and decided it's something he doesn't like, which is fair enough.

And I still thank him for leading me in the right direction in regards to where to look if I wanted to make the tweak more refined.

Anyway, I'm aware that it used to lag after a bit of time if you never rebooted tho but that's taken care of courtesy of the "engine flush" which is just a nickname for the command to dump system caches - which I came to know about courtesy of imoseyon's own digging into Android memory.

So that's about it. It's not for everybody.

But users are liking it from years old phones to brand new photons and bionics and everything inbetween ;)

Personally, I find the milestone barely usable if I try and use it the way I want to use it - fast and lagfree.

Which is what made me develop the little supercharger thing ;)

And the reality is, all it does is make your launcher more important than google.process.gapps, the calendar and the keyboard.

Do I really need those items to stay alive while constantly waiting for my launcher to come back to life?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lukasb9000:
Can someone please help me? I have the newest market version but some apps I've installed don't show in the "My Apps" list and when I search for them and want to install or update it says my phone isn't compatible!? Facebook is one of those apps,and I-m sure it should be compatible with my cm7 milestone^^

I searched for a solution and found out that this issue can be solved with a modification in build.props and that custom roms like cm have this fix, but apparently I don't have it? I didn't change the file or anything!

Plz help this is very annoying!

Oh and btw, newest cm7 runs great (besides this problem)!

Yeah I'm using the V6 supercharger with 7.1 and it works quite nicely. I'm sporting aggressive 2, bulletproof launcher and 40mb heap size.

I'm not really sure if this issue is ROM or theme related but with default 'System' theme, selection color seems messed up. Whenever I choose anything in menus and an orange bar appears indicating touch this bar is just not right - in the middle of it there is a smaller, blue bar. I've tried switching to a different theme but with Cyanbread in place there is a green bar inside selection bar (although Androidian theme is working fine). Reboots didn't work either. Any help?

ROM is more stable and faster than ever though it's more likely to kill apps running in background (e.g. Music app was killed each time I'd launched Angry Birds Rio).

Suggestion for Notification

i would like to first thank kabaldan for this amazing ROM and updates.

I would like to suggest for this feature which i think is useful for everybody. Its an MIUI Notification and Toggler

Hope you could have something like this in the ROM.

@kabaldan : Is it possible to add a tweak in CM Settings > Performance > Compcache RAM Usage in next releases?, I mean... Is this as "simple" (for You, of course :D) as implemented the "Allow Purging of Assets"?... I know those are two different concepts like first one is something like "Compress memory" for increase virtual memory and the one already implemented has something to do with "system can free more RAM if needed" but... Maybe I am asking "whatever" :-)

Another thing,

Enable logger

check or unchecked? And Why?

Quick general CM question:

can we use other CM7 themes on this ROM? Talking about the in-built theme function.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moviecut:
yes, it works also on this version! im using minimal theme from the market.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] yfital:
Well,

Theming working great, no difference there (which i saw).

On the other hand, I didn't see any memory change as reported above,

I did see a huge drop in the space in the /System :)

It was so low that superuser couldn't install ( i had 3 k free :| )

deleted some APKs which i don't usually use so i got like... 3 MB now :)

Bug / Feature ?

I'm still not sure what this version should provide us other then avoiding JIT for some system programs... (unless I'm misunderstanding it) ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] darkhole:
The same thing happend to me the other day, from 49%, it pass to 19%, and after that from 17% to 4%, that was in just 7 minutes!! (I was just reading Google Reader)

BTW, I'm using Milaq's CM6, so the problem is in both ROMs and using the default apps (ADW Launcher, etc)

Could be a hardware problem?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
The main purpose of odexed build is to gain more space in /data.

On normal build, classes.dex of system apks and jars are optimized on first boot (after dalvik-cache and cache wipe or when the timestamps do not match) and the derived dex files are stored in dalvik-cache. (On cyanogenmod, dalvik-cache is separated in two places - dex files of system apps/jars are stored in /cache/dalvik-cache, dex files of other apps in /data/dalvik-cache)

On odexed build, classes.dex are pre-optimized during build, removed from system apks and jars and stored beside as .odex files directly in system partition.

So the dex files of system apks and framework jars do not take any space in dalvik-cache.

Thanks to that, dalvik-cache is smaller and therefore it allows me to store it completely only in the /cache block (/data/dalvik-cache empty).

Some people claim that odex means less RAM used and faster app launch, which I somehow doubt, as there should no difference between the dex files pre-optimized during build and the dex files optimized during boot.

The only difference I can think of is the fact that the app resources that are being extracted from apk files on the run are on odexed build being extracted from much smaller apk files (as there are no classes.dex files stored in the system apk zip archives).

Limited free space in the system block:

System block is normally mounted read only, so the free space there is just a wasted nand space, considering normal android system operation.

To use as much of /system space as possible to free some space in /data seems to me very desirable. Odexed build allows that.

Installation of the current 11.10.08 odexed build of CM7 for Milestone + gapps 20110828 including new talk should leave about 0.5MB free in system block.

To achieve that, I had to remove QuickOffice.apk and CMWalpapers.apk.

Another space could be reclaimed by removal of some LatinIME dictionaries, but I don't want to do that as I consider Milestone a true international device.

Bug: Later I noticed that due to shortcomings of current updater scripts, there are two orphan odex files left in /system/app - Provision.odex and QuickSearchBox.odex, which should be removed if the gapps are installed.

Their removal should leave you with 1.55MB free in /system. I'll try to correct it in the next build.

Superuser.apk is part of CM so I don't see any point in its additional installation.

JIT: this whole odex thing has nothing to do with JIT.

PS: The odexed build is there mainly to get some feedback on it. I'm open to hear your opinions.

You can select the mode of the USB operation via the USB connection notification after connecting the phone.

best cm7 version that touched my milestone.

after boot it takes a bit longer till zeam launcher responds

thank you for your awesome work!

i have a question, after cm7 + gapps + gtalk i started deleting the apps i don't need (including the bootanimation + tts languages). i have more than 20mb free in /system. is the any advantage if i push some apps, eg zeam, realcalc, maps, to system?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Of course, I have other 20 apps in /system

dex files of these apps (dalvik cache) will be saved in /cache so there is more free space in /data
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jarlaxlebaenre:
I know there is a notification with menu but I mainly use USB connection for mass storage so I used this screen for quick dismounting (USB charging is slower than AC, even with powered USB port) and I thought that lack of it might be a bug in my case.

I was also wondering if there is any chance for manual /system size managing. It would be nice to delete some apps (all .apk associated with live wallpapers, Personal Portal etc) from /system, then shrink system space and add it to /data.

And as always, thank You for Your great work.

JIT on/off

Hello think I have too many free time.

I tested the ROM with JIT on and with JIT off twice to verify,

and both times with JIT off gives me better score than JIT on, that's benchmarking with quadrant.

of course I'm a novice, but don't supose JIT on must gives me better score?

Thanks.

Does anyone know of the risks of removing system apps? I use the MIUI Camera and I delete all non-essential system apps. I'm guessing I can just remove the apk and the .odex file, but how would you odex a file you place in /system/app?

No need to odex.
