My battery is great:

- autosync contacts, calendar, gmail

- mobile data over 2G

- 30min phone

- 10 min gunbros

- 10 min angry birds

- 80% after 17h

so no heavy battery draining in standby

AFter install CM7 from original stock 2.1 ROM, now my computer can not detect the memory card, and i can't get my pc recognize my milestone via usb...

I have turned on USB debugging....and try out every usb port of my PC

and i decided to restore to stock 2.1 ROM to see if my pc able to recognize it as usb device....and IT CAN...

Can anyone tell me why under CM7, my pc can't detect my phone? did i miss out anything during flashing?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
Check your /sd-ext
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rotundjere:
you may miss some required files ..

try to install CM6 first and then CM7 :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aumkar:
How exactly did you go back to RC2? Factory Reset? Cuz my Music app kept FCing.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rotundjere:
CM7 is better than CM6 :D

give it a try ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Christoffer84:
i'm not on RC2 - these stats are from RC3 2011.03.02
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ck_looi:
still fail...

what should be the correct procedure?

stock rom 2.1-> flash CM7?

stock rom 2.1-> flash CM6->flash CM7?

stock rom 2.1->GOT 2.2.1->CM7 (or CM6->cm7)??

did you guys succeed updating google maps to 5.2.0? it downloads to me but it fails to install.

i tried also to manually download and install it but i have the same error. 5.1.0 works fine tho.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
It works for me just fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
I think the 3G module from Motorola is definitely a battery killer. It can easily eat up at least 20% of battery when browsing website or any 3G data apps in around 30mins.

So I think changing to 2G is the battery saver.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Shoib:
Does anybody know how I can change the radio to my country in OpenRecovery? I haven't had any reception after installing this. Much help would be appreciated.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Change Baseband option in AOR
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Shoib:
Sorry to sound like a noob, but how do I do that? Do I have to download something else?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Christoffer84:
no, only go to AOR>change Baseband>your country, then reboot, done.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
AOR stands for Androidiani openrecovery. Just run it as you run openrecovery. It is one of the menu options in AOR.

I try all 4 methods above, and i still can't get the usb working...

I must have done something wrong.... can someone give me an advice on what possibly went wrong?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Did you do a full wipe (factory settings) before flashing CM?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ynoi64:
I guess you did something wrong indeed, bc I was able to go from MIUI > CM7 without any problems...

Have you tried to do everything from the start? (format SD, reburn the GOT .sbf again, and then CM7)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Maybe your PC cannot detect the SD memory card is because your whole SD card is partitioned to Ext2?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ck_looi:
ok, i try everything again...

in stock 2.1 ROM: the PC still can detect my micro sd card

wipe data & cache->flash got 2.2.1 sbf: this is where my PC not able to detect my SD card....

strange, but it happens to me?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
What custom ROM are u using now? is it G.O.T 2.2.1?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aumkar:
Okay, in order to have the latest RC3 to not chew up my battery, I used Autostarts to disable all forms of google framework services, since that is causing the problems.

This way, I can still use my phone as a phone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ck_looi:
now i restore back to 2.1 stock rom, SD card can be detected...

I lose idea on how to make my sd detection working in CM7...

as when i flash to GOT221, my sd card lose the detection function
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ck_looi:
Is it really needed to go to GOT221 before installing CM7 from stock 2.1 ROM?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Christoffer84:
is RSD lite opened when you try to get sd card access?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Ok. Try this. After flashing got, plug in phone. Turn on USB debugging mode. Unplug phone. Plugin again. Turn off USB debugging mode. Unplug. Plugin. Does it recognise the card?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ck_looi:
ooops...it works now....but another problem appears, now i can't get usb debugging on, i already tick "usb debugging" under development....in CM7 already...

oh gosh....

my procedure:

stock 2.1rom -> direct flash CM7
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vesparados150:
=)will do!..flashing it now...il try and use it a couple of days ......thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rollbread:
After using for almost whole day I find that its quite fast. But I realised that the battery usage is really quite fast....Anybody got the same problem?

Sweet Gingerbread

First of all BIG THANKS to kabaldan, f_pasha and all others responsible for this work, GREAT WORK.

The gps AND compass are working fine with the fixes. Tested on GPS Status and GMaps.

I just can't seem to make JIT work, I'm getting ~1000 with JIT enabled and ~1100 with it disabled. On CM6 with JIT enabled I used to get 1500+ on Quadrant. Is this normal for this alpha? Maybe I've done something wrong on the update process.

Anyway, overall it is a great rom and quite stable. Aside from JIT, everything seems to be working quite well, even FLASH seems to have improved in some cases. Multimedia also improved a bit, streming is better, etc. I also quite like the new copy & paste system of gingerbread. Sweet. :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joker2mbr:
Hey Kabaldan,

I've already tested the compass fix you posted and it worked perfectly... Nicely done!

By the way, how come a ROM stable like this one is still an alpha? It's much better than a lot of stock ROMs out there. I agree with MorfeuZ: even Flash seems to be working better now. :D

After trying this ROM, I don't think I'll go back to CM6 anymore...

Great work!

Best regards!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rollbread:
Is this rom already rooted? When I go to the terminal and type "su", it just pop up with option Force Close, but the terminal is still there and when I type "su" again, it says that "Permission Denied".

So i go to openrecovery and did root phone, but the same thing happened. I had tried with GOT and Androidiani 3.3. Did I miss out anything?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] romaninja:
How i set permissions :(?

The GPS/Compass not working because i dont know how to set permissions!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brotkastn:
Awesome!

I am running this ROM now since 24 hours and have to say:

Awesome!

Eveything is very smooth, and now even the compass works :) And the GPS fix is really nice too, it gets a fix very fast.

Especially when you think how new CM7 is for the Milestone, awesome work.

Thanks Kabaldan, i will donate some coffee to keep you motivated :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joker2mbr:
@romaninja,

The easiest way to do that is use Root Explorer, which is available on Android Market. It cost approximately US$ 4.05, however. You can do that on a terminal, but it's a bit more complicated.

If you decide do buy Root Explorer (I recommend it): using Root Explorer make the /system folder "RW" (it's "RO" by default) - navigate to that folder an press the RW" button on top right corner of Root Explorer UI. Copy the files that kabaldan made available to the appropriate folder (/system/lib/hw) and set permissions accordingly.

To set permissions on Root Explorer, after you are done copying the files, long press each one of the files and select the "permissions" option. Then set it to "644" (user has read/write permissions and all others have only read permissions).

After you're done, press the "R/O" button on Root Explorer (this will make the folder read only again) and reboot. Your GPS and compass should be working now.

Let me know if that works for you. :)

Best regards!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ralf_g60:
Great rom, thnx!

Only problem at the moment:

Wifi keeps running, even when screen is off.

Wifi is set to sleep with screen off.

Is there a solution?

And can I display battery in %?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] romaninja:
Well , my dropbox's friend has the root explorer and after i copy the files and i mount r\w and chose "permissions" it show me something like that:

---------------------- Read ----------- Write----------- Execute

User

Group---------------- V-------------- V ------------ V

Others -------------- V -------------------------------- V

I hope you can help me find the solution :P

THANKS!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joker2mbr:
I don't think there's an option to show the battery in %. I use a widget available on the Market called "Battery Indicator", which shows the battery remaining % charge on the notification bar.

About the WiFi issue, I verified the same problem as you did: WiFi seems to remain on even when the screen is off (I've checked on Spare Parts). And I made sure the policy is correct on WiFi settings. Maybe this is an issue.

I just rebooted the phone after I charged it. Lets see if the issue remains the same.

Best regards!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joker2mbr:
Please set it the way I stated before: User has to have "read / write" permissions and all others (group / others) have " read" permissions. Just like this:

-----------Read-------Write-------Execute

User--------X-----------X

Group-------X

Others------X

After you're done, don't forget to set the /system folder to "R/O" (read only) and then, reboot.

Let me know if it works for you. :D

Best regards!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joker2mbr:
It looks like the reboot didn't help. It really seems to be an issue. WiFi is ON all the time, even when the screen off. :(

Anyone else can confirm this issue?

Thanks a lot
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Christoffer84:
confirmed ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
What do you mean? The icon doesn't show on the status bar? I think there is a problem with that. It doesn't show up on the moto leaks as well. I am not sure abt CM7.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Yes, everybody must start from G.O.T 2.2.1 sbf first.

Then slowly move up to Froyo Custom ROM like CM6 or Cronos.

Then only flash CM7
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Yup, my method.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ck_looi:
can "usb debugging" turn on when you need to access ur sd card?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ravram:
It is still not working.should it be /system/sd or /system/sd-ext or /sd-ext? I really confused... anyone can post the full procedure for applying the apps2sd on cm7? I guess I should start all over again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brandner:
Running 0.07-11.03.04 RC3 and it's looking great. I had moved from this CM7 to IceAndFire due to performance, but this version seems really fast and stable. Thanks again!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Try RC2 for better battery life.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Latest version is very unstable, phone freezes while reading gmail, opening sms, calling people etc..

Most unstable CM7 till now...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aumkar:
Yes. There's a memory leak or something when it comes to the Google Framework Services apk. It keeps my phone alive 90% of the time.

I just used autostarts and disabled all instances of it. I'm not connected to Google anyway but then I can use my phone as a phone, and it doesnt seem like its about to explode.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Sorry to say this, but current experience is awful with latest version... was writing an email for 5 minutes and suddenly the phone restarted ...

Setting up overclock...

Hi,

I coming to CM7 from ShadowMod Gingerbread...

I had a custom overclock_71 file with 1Ghz@58vsel, 550Mhz@36vsel, 250Mhz@22vsel and 125Mhz@18vsel steps applied as an update patch which applied smartass governor by default...

On CM7, there was overclock_10 in the etc/initd folder so i figured update wouldn't work and manually edited the .txt file, but i didn't know how to change the governor. So i had to use setcpu, which was then stepping through max and min speeds. So i tried with the CM7 menu as well but it steps only from max to min - skipping the middle steps altogether...

I was wondering how I might be able to step through all 4 steps and use the smartass governor like before?

Thank you for your time!

Carthik
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] evolucja:
It works perfectly with kernel from O2 Germany. Battery life is just amazing(ofc after calibration). I had a lot of issues with original kernel coming with CM7 but when I changed it to one from the lastest leak I realized that now I can use my phone normally without any problems.

Thanks for your work, I love CM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Neldrin:
There's also been a Chinese 'official' release, however ppl stated that the bugs remained, so I guess it doesn't really matter which one do we use, the O2 or Chinese..

I'll try the O2 one.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
?

CM for Milestone ver. 0.07 comes with kernel from build 5.26 O2DE/RTSEA

What about the Chinese kernel? Isn't it better at all?

Very nice job as always !

One problem, I really can't get the keyboard working ....

I falashed, all was working good wish qwerty keyboard. I tried to change to azerty with GOT .... keyboard didn't worked. Tried OpenRecovery-3_3 .... keyboard still disabled .... then tried OpenRecovery_v1_46_SHOLS ..... keyboard still disabled ! Even tried manual change the files with adb ... didn't work either.

Tried to reflash ... but nothing to do ... I can't get it working. Any idea(s) ?

to summarize, Bryson is having an issue with the SMS app now while Bryan doesn't has any issue. :)

Custom overclock setup?

Hi I posted regarding this on post 1193, but to keep it short this time, how can I customize overclock steps and vsels and apply the smart ass governor instead of the stock conservative/interactive correctly?

Thanks!

Carthik
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] motorator:
EDIT: IIANM, this is built right into CM Options. Change this is in Settings. That would be the easy way.

The harder way:

Edit /etc/init.d/10overclock

Adjust the freqs and vsels accordingly.

To change governors, uncomment the one you want (ie smartass) and comment out the rest.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I had made an easy to apply script with instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11373634&postcount=1413

Of course you need g.o.t. sbf first of all.that is fact from the first day we had the froyo leak.some say that you don't need to,but in order to really clear your phone from the old.kernel stuff,i think you do.You flash that,and then you can go directly to cm7.

because I heard/read that the Milestone FUSE/bootloader will automatically brick the phone if I put the wrong kernel or the unsigned kernel..

I'm just curious, what if I replace with my own kernel? (if my Milestone bricked, can I recover it via RSD Lite or Open Recovery) ?? :confused: :confused: :confused:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Good to know that you are trying out something, but what are you going to do with a 2TB card? :confused::confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rotundjere:
it can store more :D

beside that, in near future, the SDXC card will be widely available in stores :D

SDXC (improved from microSD SDHC which is only max 32GB), but both are same size

the SDXC can have 2TB (but only 64GB SDXC available in the market today)

so anyone here already trying to update/replace the kernel with the unsigned/wrong kernel (by mistakes probably) ??

I don't wan't to buy a new phone (like HTC Desire Z with unlocked bootloader), because I wan't to utilize/maximize the Milestone to it's limit (and also the Milestone phone design is very gorgerous) :D
