When you run "lib2ext 1", .lib2ext file is created in /data, "lib2ext 0" will remove that file.

If the file /data/.lib2ext exists, /etc/init.d/08lib2ext (that is run during every boot) will check whether there are some new unmoved libs and if there are, it will move them.

If the file /data/.lib2ext is missing, /etc/init.d/08lib2ext will skip the check and won't do anything.

Currently, there is no tool for reverting back provided, but it can be done very easily. A simple script can be run under recovery that will replace the /data/data/<appname>/lib symlinks with empty lib folders. If you then wipe cache and dalvik-cache, libs will be automatically extracted from apks again during next boot.

But I don't think anyone will actually ever want to revert it :D .

For the illustration, my current internal storage:

/data: 114.5M free

/cache: 78.5M free

/sd-ext: 628M used (lib 110M, dalvik-cache 41.5M, app + app-private 476M)

about 100 apps installed
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] somecanuck:
Hoooooooow? I've ran "su" / "lib2ext 1" a few times and I just rebooted. My /sd-ext is 0. Nothing moves there. :( I do see the .lib2ext file too.

EDIT: Alright I get that I need to partition /sd-ext. I've backed up my SD card. I'm just not sure how to install ClockworkMod Recovery without wiping OpenRecovery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Few questions:

1. According to 'Better battery stats', i have a kernel wakelock from USB that is about 3.5 hours after one day of up-time. Does anyone else have this problem?

Is it due to having USB debugging active?

Is USB debugging needed to be active all the time?

2. Can this rom influence battery charging in any way? Up until about a month ago I was using FroyoMod and charging from the power adapter always took ~2h for a full charge. Ever since I switched to CM7 it takes only 1h. I wiped battery stats a few times (in OR), re-calibrated the battery but it still 1h.

What could be the cause of this?

3. Angry Birds Seasons sometime crashes and keeps crashing until I reboot the phone. Is it caused by memory not being enough for the app?

Should I try a memory manager/tweaker like V6 Supercharger? What are your experiences with V6 Supercharger?

4. I see, by default home app is locked in memory. Is there a reason to keep it like this?

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moe6:
Is anyone else constantly losing connection to the GTalk servers? More than half the time I've woken my phone up and found that I'm not connected and have to fire up gtalk to get it re-connected again.

This happens on both wifi and wireless 2G/3G, although seems like it happens on 2G/3G a little more often. Could be just perception though as I'm more likely to use my phone away from home :P.

It's been like this for me since 7.1.1. I even cleared my EXT, formatted the card before going to 7.1.2 (no reason other than I felt it was time for a clear out :P).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Garreth88:
This lib2ext is so great! Thanks Kalbadan for this!:) Finally I can have as many apps as I want, with no cost of the internal memory. I probably should look for faster SD card, because I got 10mb/s read, 2 mb/s write (or is it a good result?).

I hope, that future updates will handle this lib2ext, so that we won't loose any apps or apps settings.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] somecanuck:
Care to lend a brother a hand and tell me how to partition mine? :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Garreth88:
Sure,

I followed this guide: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning

Remember to do this using sd card reader, because I tried it while the card was in the phone and messed up something:P However formatting the card from the phone repaired my card.

Also, remember to make a backup.

And I have a question - is there a performance difference between ext2/3/4?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
I just use GMaps three or four times since three days. It crashed at least 2 times each time ! Can't say if it is due to CM or Gmaps :/ ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] somecanuck:
I must still be doing something wrong. I've deleted and recreated both partitions on my card, but the /sd-ext folder remains empty after runnning lib2ext and rebooting. How do I tell /sd-ext to gobble up that new partition?

EDIT: Woo, got it. I had made my ext2 partition logical rather than primary.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Are you running FroyoMod or CM7? (your signature says FMod)

Had the same issues on FM after allowing Gmaps update to install on the latest FM 2.9.3.

Had no issues on CM7 with Gmaps with all and the latest Gmaps updates.

If you have the crashes on CM7 see how much free memory you have and try to free some more.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Quentin himself:
LOL, you're right you can't know if I'm on CM or FM. I just can't find where I can change my signature (what a poor man !).. So I'm on CM even if I like a lot FM but I'm waiting for the 3.0 version.

Hum. I don't know how much memory I had but it can be due to that. How to free more Memory ? Uninstall some apps ? I take care to have no apps runing in background.

Thank you
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Hello everyone,

I'm happily back on CM7, everything runs amazing!

One MAJOR problem I am having:

Memory leak? ... After a fresh reboot, when you go to running services, it shows about 90-100mB used and 55-70mB "free". As time passes, with the same services running, I lose memory. Such that at about 20 hours after a reboot, I am at 21-35mB "free" (30-35 if I manually kill the dialer) with the same services in the list! I was getting this on CM6, on CM 7.1.1 and now 7.1.2. Could it be one of my apps?? What tools can I use to find the culprit?

Please help, everything runs so nice after a fresh reboot but then it starts to choke because of no memory..

Side note: I noticed once you open the dialer, it doesn't come back out of memory right away, immediately lowering the amount of "free ram."
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Obviously because some services and applications still didn't open.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Nah, I wait for everything to open, I even send a few txts etc. It's usually still ok (45-55mB free) a few hours in, but at some point after 10-15hours it just drops more and more.

Anyone else having problems with downloading the 7.1.2 file? No matter what I do, it downloads about 30Mb and stops.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
Sounds like completely normal behaviour to me. If you download something like Advanced Task Killer from the market, you'll see that there's actually a lot more running than you can see in Android's own running services view. I'm not suggesting that you need to use ATK, but it gives you a better idea of what's going on.

I normally have anywhere between 12 and 32Mb shown as free with the usual suspects such as Android Keyboard, Messaging and Google Services showing up in running services. If I then fire up ATK and kill everything it sees as running, I then have 55-60Mb free RAM.

I only ever do this when I want to run a heavy app like NFS Shift which quits when there isn't enough RAM.

Sooner or later I'm going to replace my Milestone with something with more memory. I was all set to buy the Galaxy Nexus, but when I went to see it on the day it was released in the UK, I was so disappointed. The pentile matrix screen and really plasticky build quality turned me right off. I would buy the new Droid Razr, if it wasn't for the stupid non-removable battery and the locked bootloader.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Are you going to update this ROM with the new T9 Dialer CM pushed yesterday? =D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
MaKTaiL: Yes, of course. But there were some issues with that patch. Several fixes emerged and evolved quickly, the final solution seems to stabilize now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
Anything happening with cm9?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
I understand that there's other things running. Open "running services." The way I see it the listed services are running in the gray part of the graph. There must also be some other things in the gray portion, for example dialer. The green portion includes free ram + cached processes. When I say "free ram", it's this green portion I'm referring to. Lets call this "available ram" from now on.

Other memory apps don't make any sense to me, they show way more ram per app than is even possible (add them up and you get over 250).

So here's my dilemma. After a fresh reboot up to a few hours later, the available ram (the green portion) without killing anything is 70-75mB. After about 20+ hours, with the same services running in the list, available ram is 35-40mB.

So what changed? The amount of "unavailable ram" (gray portion) has increased from ~90mB to ~120mB. Why?

Solutions:

1) reboot

2) open a ram intensive game. Surprisingly this restores a similar RAM situation as after reboot. It must be kicking out *hidden* processes/services from the gray portion that were stuck there. Still, it doesn't free up quite as much as a reboot (maybe 10mB less).

What are these hidden processes in the used/unavailable ram?

1) dialer

2) ??

3) ??

Yes I've noticed that once dialer is opened (make a phone call or go view contacts), it adds to the used ram. Usually it doesn't get killed to free that ram again unless killed manually or by a game.

Kabaldan, thoughts??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Thnak you for fast answer. Keep up the good work! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nitrobg:
I've had the same issue - the only way to fix this was to remove the battery.

I believe that if you have 2 or more different music players installed, they are conflicting with the built-in one, causing the device to go unresponsive. I removed the unneeded music player (in my case, the built-in Music.apk and Music.odex) and the issue is gone. :)

Open recovery didn't find any update.zip

Hi everyone!

Have you any idea, why the open recovery didn't find any zip file?

I made all the wipe menus, and followed the instructions. I have a 2.3.5 CM on my phone.

But now, i want to install 7.1.2 (2.3.7) 13.12.2011. If i go to Apply update, i see only 3 test lines...

Why?

Thank you

XDA member kfazz made ICS Work on MM brother, the OG Droid. Not yet fully functional 4.0 but at least working. The OG Droid does not have a locked bootloader, so its much easier than the Miles, but keep hopes on me:

73MB free ram is also not bad at all.

Thank you so much Kadalban

@Kadalban - I want to thank for all the effort and hard/free/amazing/super/mega/excellent work you`ve done and still doing for the crap of the Moto Milestone.

We wouldn`t be nothing without you... SERIOUSLY!!

I put this words here as i finally my moto died due to the infamous digitizer problem. It kept worst and worst in the past 4 months at the point it was impossible to use and i got really pissed off with it and burned the mother F*$#R at my microwave.

It felt so good to watch the phone blowing up.. gosh!!

So thank you again :)

I`m still not sure which phone to buy... but if you are also thinking on changing phone in the next two months, PLEASE LET ME KNOW :)

Thanks very much and hope to keep your follower :D

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mburrieza:
After 2 years I cannot stand to move to a phone with a lower screen resolution than my old miles... I Know that the GSII is a great phone, but 800x480 just don´t cut it for me anymore.

I was/am tempted for the Galaxy Note (5.3" 1280x800), but the thing is huge and pentile is not my friend, my eyes can see the dots... GN is also pentile and the lack of external memory for me is enough to keep me away from it.

It seems that for now I will continue with my old MM and thank Nadlabak everyday for making my ancient phone usable.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ivanoterra:
I dont think that 54 pixels in resolution its a "omfg, i dont want to go lower", is such a small number... for 4x ram, 16gb rom and 1.2 processor...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mburrieza:
I know that is a great phone. As you said it has 4x the RAM, at least 4x the CPU (1.2 dual core with a better ARM architecture vs 600Mhz single core), MALI GPU crush all the other SoCs, lots of internal flash memory, etc. But a slightly lower resolution on a bigger screen, so the PPI is lower (265 PPI on MM vs 218PPI on GS2 - almost 20% less PPI). At least I expect the same PPI after waiting for 2 years.

The Miles was one of the first phones with 854x480 screen and one of the main reasons to make me buy it. I guess that in a couple of months (or its happening now?) the norm for high end phones will be 720p screens, so I will wait for them...

I am planning that my next phone last me at least another 2 years like the Miles... :) .

slowdown

Did anybody noticed slowdowns over time. I am on 1000MHz and everything is smoth after restart but after one day phone is getting sluggish and launcher often redraw. I noticed that there is also less tasks running in background. After restart Android preload for me Gmail calendar pad and google reader automatically but after some time there are only essential task. Looks like some memory leak.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Subbie171:
Exactly the same here. After booting up I only get launcher reloads after loading heavy apps (like gmaps or games) for a long period. After a day or 2 though, redraws get a lot more constant.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
My overnight battery test shows that after 7 hours 20 minutes on 2G, my phone battery drops only 10%.

However I notice that my phone is freezing quite often when using apps. After freezing, my phone goes into a black screen where I see two lines .. one in the middle and the another is at the bottom of the screen as though it's like some weird grains images. Sadly that is not captured on the screenshot but the middle line is. I believe that middle line is the animation of when the phone screen goes off and it freezes there. The freeze takes up to 40 seconds to 1 minute to recover before I can reuse my phone.

How do you think I can try to avoid this freezing? The freezing happened when on 24MB Heap VM. Now I've switched back to 32MB.
