[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
I have 72 MB free RAM at startup, but I'm using GoSMS and GoLauncherEX with some widgets, and installed about 20 other apps in system/apps (obviously I have a lot of other apps and games in ext2 partition)

"Autostarts" app is really useful, no more gallery, market, mail and other apps opened automatically at startup and every time I enable wi-fi :)

I agree with you, without kabaldan's work now I won't be a proud owner of a Milestone anymore.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brandner:
So kabaldan, how can I go about finding out which service(s) might be causing the problem? The 'dialer' process is using 81% of my battery. Everything else seems fine, very little is running.

I tried all sorts of stuff all day, but it's only lasting an hour or two before dying. If I can get it to fully charge I'll try that battery calibration app in a few hours.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rcummings100:
Everything for me is at default as far as over clocking goes. Literally didn't change anything between the build from a week ago I was running and RC5.

Going back to the nandroid I took before the update fixed the problem, so it's something with RC5 and my setup. I'm running pretty clean, tho with lots of actual apps installed...just didn't use my phone much while it was running RC5. I'm running launcher pro plus if that makes a difference, along with switcher pro and beautiful widgets.

I can install rc5 again and take a log of some sort if it will help. Just give me instructions on what I can do to help get this fixed. I love your work kabaldan :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
You do realise that Internal Storage is NOT RAM?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brandner:
I ran the battery calibration tool. I have tried to follow the battery calibration process in the past, but this was an interesting option. It seems like it maybe helped a bit, but within two hours I was below 60% and the Dialer was shown as causing over 70% of the battery usage. No other processes registered as any higher than 5%.

I guess I'll have to try a clean install.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Thats what I wanted to ask, it's impossible to get 100mb on GB 4 Milestone...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
Thank you for clarifying this... I thought "whatever"!!!!

I almost stopped to read this thread for this reason, haha... I did not realize that they were confusing RAM with Internal Memory.

SENT FROM MY MILESTONE POWERED BY GINGERBREAD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adamz667:
Don't be annoying - I know what is RAM memory and I know what is internal storage. And yes - I realize that.

Also I know also that you are a fan of Cronos, so don't punish other users for using different roms. We will use what we want to use and everybody have its favoured rom.

Edit: I was doing it by removing some unneeded apps and aps that run as services after a two days of annalyzing what eats ram and check what can be removed according to CM Barebones. I'm a new on xda, but not new on Android. So if you don't believe it - I don't care. Impossible is nothing :p
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
He is not the fan of Cronos...

And can you tell what are the services you removed, I'd like to know.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
n3n00, thanks for defending me. I really dunno what sparked adamz667 to say that. Did I punish him?

I am a ROM slut. I try from one ROM to another until I find one that gives me the best battery life and snappy performance.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adamz667:
Sorry for offense.

List of services/apk (according to CM Barebones):

ApplicationsProvider.apk - Fetches the list of applications installed on the phone to provide search suggestions.

GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk - I don't use it, and I think it is not needed for everyday use, if you will need it you can get it back to /system/app

GoogleFeedback.apk - ForceClose reporting

GooglePartnerSetup.apk - ??? (no fc of any app after removing it)

LatinIME.apk, UserDictionaryProvider.apk - I'm using swype

MediaUploader.apk - Upload media to remote servers? Picasa?

OneTimeInitializer.apk - ??? (no fc after removing it)

Provision.apk - Runs on first boot. Conflicts with google app "SetupWizard.apk". Okay to delete if loading the gapps zip.

PicoTts.apk, SpeechRecorder.apk, TtsService.apk, VoiceDialer.apk, VoiceSearch.apk - I don't use TTS

SetupWizard.apk - needed only to configure phone for first time

Stk.apk - I'm not using it (SimToolKit)

VpnServices.apk - I don't use it, but it's probably killed by lowmemorykiller when need more ram

Other apps (not using it or changed by similar apps from market):

ADWLauncher.apk, Bluetooth.apk, Calculator.apk, Camera.apk, CarHomeGoogle.apk, CMWallpapers.apk, Development.apk, DSPManager.apk, Email.apk, Facebook.apk, FileManager.apk, GenieWidget.apk, HTMLViewer.apk, Protips.apk
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grimpy:
Nice option revoke permissions now i can disable apps from receiving boot_completed signal and thus not starting at boot which is 10times better then having a app to kill them after they where already started :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSSJ:
Where can I start to manage the permissions? I only found the option to activate permission management, but I expected some list of applications where I can edit permissions individually???
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Settings>Applications>Manage applications

open an app there, scroll down to see the list of permissions, tap on permission you want to revoke...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brandner:
I did a clean install last night. I reset the phone, installed the newest CM7 from Kabaldan, installed the gapps package and baseband. Booted it up and used the Settings - Storage section to erase the SD card.

So far so good, although I haven't changed the VM/overclocking settings yet. Battery usage is as expected - the highest percentage is for the display.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] moviecut:
Edit: i also have some battery drain since the last version "RC5". hope we can figure out the reason...thanks kabaldan!

Edit2: i will try a full wipe and see if battery drain is still there...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
Does any1 know how to make led notifies when battery level falls down to 15%?

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] spookyx:
I'm having issues too with baterry draining.

In a little over an hour, where the display was a bit over 30 minutes, the battery dropped to 80% and history shows:

Android OS - 45%

Display - 30%

The rest are under 10%.

I've noticed that Dialer sometimes takes a lot of battery as well.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
After many days with the combination of CM7.1 + Zepellinrox' Script, I have to say many congrats and thank you.

You provide us with the latest/up-to-date Android has to offer!! I really hope you keep your Milestone until the end of the year and maybe give us a taste of IceCream Sandwich. :)

(Will probably have a newer phone by that time, but will certailnly still have Milestone!)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] MorfeuZ:
Just passing by to say thanks kabaldan, you've been doing a great job.

I'm using the phone without dsi bug fix and its working very well since the first 2.3.4 release.

Very stable and fast. Great work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSSJ:
Just a quick question: Anyone else experiencing WiFi connectivity issues with the RC5 release? My phone says it cannot receive an IP Address from my Router, but every other device in my house does receive an IP...:/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Subbie171:
Came here to say the same. Uptime is now 40 hours (I turned off to calibrate battery) and even maps is behaving a lot better now. DSI fix is also off.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
I am using ext2. Each time I do an update of the ROM, my internal space seems to varies a lot. Sometimes can be 100mb free, sometimes can be as low as 30mb free only.

Is there a way I can ensure that all my apps are indeed in ext2? Like any script I can run or commands or something? :o
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adamz667:
You can list your apps on ext2 partition by typing in terminal:

su
ls /sd-ext/app

or just open RootExplorer and go to the /sd-ext, this is the mount point of ext2 partition with your apps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Okay thanks. What happen if I notice apps that are supposed to be in ext2, are not there? How can I shift them? Where do I shift from where to where? :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Well... service finally replace my phone with a milestone 2. It completely s**ks.

So I wont be in this thread anymore :(

bye 2.3.4 hello 2.2 :(:(:(:(

It´s a big problem sending to service a milestone 1. There are practically no more replaces of the same phone :(

Hope kabaldan keeps improving cm7 for milo 1 :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adamz667:
Normaly (without ext2 partition and scripts) apps should be in /data/app, /data/app-private.

But if you run app2ext succesfull, they will be in /data folder and in /sd-ext, because app2ext script is "linking" /data/app to /sd-ext/app.

If they not there than you have a probaly problem with app2ext script or ext2 partition is not mounted properly.

Oh, and I think that you don't confuse native app2sd (in Settings -> Applications menu) with automatic move of applications to /sd-ext by app2ext script, am I right?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bogddy87:
Is there any chance to make my battery life a little long? It drains in less than one single day, without using phone very very much. just e-mail a few phone calls and...permanently wi-fi connection :)

And how can i keep more than 30Mb free RAM memory? It is the most atractive ROM but it have some issue...battery and RAM memory.

Thx guys

Great job here!!!

Milestone

Allways latest CM7

Mixer theme

Without any other special seetings ( i'm newbie :D )
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
that is total nonsense. there are loads of places that sell spares for the original milestone and they are ultra easy to disassemble and reassemble.

there are also plenty of new and second hand milestones on ebay.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
I know, but I dont live in a decent country :D Here you can accept a replacement model (from the same value range) or wait 2-3 months till the repair parts are back on stock :(

Thats how the things work here :(

At least, the replacement was free of charge, besides losing cm7 :(

We dont have ebay here, If I buy from ebay, custom charges 50-70% the value of the phone buyed (if they dont steal the item before arriving :D )

So, if anyone need advice about milo 2, just ask :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] markshane:
You can use a free app on Market called "Simple2EXT" which will help you transfer all your Apps/Data/Cache etc... on to the EXT partition. You have to be a little careful while while using this as you may risk losing all your apps!

One more thing, if you transfer even the "Data" folder to EXT, you'll have like 196MB free internal memory as nothing gets stored there, but there will sometimes be a slight lag while using the phone as everything gets read through the EXT partition. I would recommend to have atleast a Class 6 MMC for better performance.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] spookyx:
I did yesterday some sort of a test... I wanted to see how fast my battery gets drained and BY WHAT.

First, I did a battery calibration. Charged it to 100%, removed battery until the ? appeared on the screen. Then booted up, started Battery Calibration application by Nema and did it.

Then I unplugged the phone...

AFTER 5 hours and 42 minutes, when the battery was already for some time on 15%, here's what Battery Use was showing:

Android OS - 43% of battery - 55 min of CPU

Waze (gps sw) - 20% of battery - 3 min 25 sec of CPU - 42 min of GPS

Display - 13% - total on 1 hr 8 min

Calls - 7% - total 8 min

WiFi - 4% - was on all the time 5 hrs and 42 min

The rest as follows:

Inactive phone - 4%

Cell waiting - 3%

eBuddy - 2% - 2 min 41 sec of CPU

aplogd - 2% - when I tried to tap on this one to get details Settings would crash.

Everything seems to be OK except for the Android OS which eats most of the CPU, almost half of it goes because of it.

Even as I was typing, 1 h 37m after unplugging this morning the phone the battery dropped to 80% and showing:

Android Operating System - 51%

Android System - 13%

Display - 9% (7m 16s)

WiFi - 7%

Inactive phone - 7%

Cell wait - 6%

XDA - 4%

Phone - 3%

Maps - 2%

@Kabaldan: Any suggestion?

Here are my setting:

- Running the HO!NO! mod.

- Maximum speed set to 750 MHz, min 125, interactive governor.

- Use JIT: DISABLED

- Enable Surface dithering: DISABLED

- Allow purging of assests: ENABLED

- Lock home in memory: ENABLED

- Lock messaging app in memory: ENABLED

- VM heap size: 42m

- There are some more optimization settings in LauncherPro (recommended by HO!NO!)

PS: Noticed that the governor of CPU (which is set to interactive) is not as responsive all the time as it should be... it does not increase the speed as fast as needed, sometimes it may take even 20-30 seconds to increase the speed from the idle 125 MHz (which is used 100%) to maximum 750 MHz.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSSJ:
I wouldn't be so sad about a Milestone2! If Moto really keeps what it promises then you can unlock the BL at the end of the year...MM2 costs a lot of money, I would be happy to be honest...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Sure, it´s no so bad, but... atm, milo 2 is as bad as milo 1 with stock rom. Could be a little better, because of some nice additions (720p, 512MB), but motoblur takes all the fun :mad:

Dont know what will happen with moto bootloader unlock. My guess... motorola will say that bootloader cant be unlocked on some devices, because of efuse, or stability or whatever reason they found. And only new devices will take advantage of unlocked BL. Maybe starting with atrix...

Look at the moto releases... it´s always the first to offer new phones with latest android builds. And the last to update his phones.

Its strategy is clearly... "if you want a fresh android build, get a new phone" :rolleyes:

Sorry for the offtopic. I´ll go to milo 2 forum :)

Keep making milo 1 great, kabaldan :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
Motorola never promised to unlock any current phone bootloader, they said they will have new options untill the end of this year (current phones will remain locked if they are locked, new phone(s), unlocked, will be sold, but, they are not selling such phone yet).

BTW, there is one post where I show that we most likely won't have any current phone bootloader unlocked:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Nope nope I'm not confuse. Just have this weird feeling that some apps are not in ext2. Else how come my internal memory is so low. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shadowofdarkness:
I am running a git compile of this from last Thursday and it had been working great up until I just got a strange error that worried me. Suddenly my screen went blank and it just said some problem about a "bp core" error along with a note that said DO NOT remove battery.

Any idea what was up? After a couple minutes the phone rebooted on it's own.

I am worried because generally errors that make sure to mention not removing power mean they can make bricks if power is lost.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
base band processor panic -> core dump

something like "don't remove the battery as the system will restart automatically after the dump is finished"

nothing to be particularly concerned about - the BP panicked. BP = independent processor responsible for modem/2g/3g phone/radio functions (as opposed to AP - the main CPU)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
btw., new build is online ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
Great as usual... only one curiosity:

Ppl always said 1% step could not be possible on our MS due to locked BL. What changed?

(Of course IF you can tell us the secret)

Tks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hearts king101:
Provider name ??????

Why can't I see the provider name on CM7 on both lockscreen and notification pulldown( In my case the provider is STC )? While it presents on other devices.

Is it related to the baseband? If it is, How to change baseband to Middle East ?

If it's not, What's Wrong ?:confused:

Thanks in advance
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
@Kabaldan,

Is it possible to implement the 1% battery steps on a stock rom?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
@sileshn i'm afraid that hardware related

@kabaldan in /data/logger there are big files (22MB) which fill up /data, is it ok to delete
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Even though I don't use my Milestone anymore for phone purposes, I jizzed in my pants upon reading about 1% battery. Flashing NOW.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] markshane:
Even though the apps APK's get stored in the Sd-ext, the data folder still resides in the phone memory, which still takes up huge amount of space.

Using Root Explorer, go to Data folder and check the size and you'll know what I'm talking about! You can even move this folder to ext if you want even more space free on internal memory using S2EXT app, but that will make your phone a little slow...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I second that question. Although, is it something that can be implemented to Eclair and Froyo ROMs?

For visual people like me, this is a huuuuuuuuge breakthrough. :D

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
This 1% fix is just wonderful, thank you, so, so much!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Guess why I setup the issue tracker... I don't see you issue listed there.

Anyway, have you tried to enable Settings>CyanogenMod settings>Interface>Status bar tweaks>Force PLMN display?

But since you are in middle east, you may need to change SERVICE_PROVIDER_NAME_DISPLAY_AVAILABLE from 00 to 01 in /system/etc/motorola/comm_drv/mmins_telephony.cfg
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] crytic:
Would love to know what actually fixed the 1% thingy :) Just replacing battd and libbattd.so doesn't seem to be enough :/

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adamz667:
Don't use app2sd from OR on CM7. CM7 have a scripts that automount ext partition and starts app2ext from first time. If you have in /system/etc/init.d/ file called "06app2sd" (or something similar) delete it. And check that you have there also "07apps2ext" - this is script file that starts app2ext, don't remove it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wlh03212:
Ok i re-formatted my SD card into 2 partition fat32 and ext2 again to wipe everything. Installed CM7 followed by gapps. I tried downloading golauncher to test the system and it always revert back to ADWlauncher for some strange reason! =(( When i see ADWlauncher, i know ext2 is not mounted properly.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] faeArai:
Thx for the new release, kabaldan. Unfortunately there is still some issue according to battery drain when using RC6: If Autosync is activated, there is no deep sleep on my device and the battery dies very fast. I've even deleted my Exchange-Account rule out that cause.

I'll post my dmesg later at home.

PS: Flashing back to RC4 fixes the battery drain issue.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
Been running RC6 since it was released yesterday, and so far its running good. The only real problem, as there has always been with CM roms, is battery life. I have to keep some pretty low setcpu profiles to get it to last the day with regular use. That would be my only complaint. Otherwise, this rom is AMAZING! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adamz667:
Did you set GoLauncherEx as default home? Or if you push the "home" button do you get a window with ADW Launcher and Go Launcher to choose?

If you are not sure about that if your ext2 partition is mounted, you can type in terminal: "mount" (without quotation marks) and check is there any line with "/sd-ext" thing.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] faeArai:
@luigi: try RC4. That's the only CM7 version that works on my Milestone with an normal battery consumption. And it is stable, tool
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wlh03212:
When home button is pressed, i did not get the window asking me which launcher to choose. Instead ADWlauncher is the default launcher when i already set GO launcher default. Also i check the "mount" command in terminal. it shows up sd-ext type ext4. Im using ext 2!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adamz667:
It's normal (if you see ext4 instead of ext2), don't worry about it.

What do you have in /system/etc/init.d/ folder?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
Well so far I've had RC6 running for 2 hours, with 2 short phone calls, and regular texting, and its still at 92%, so I'm optomistic of this build. I just don't think I could go without the 1% steps, thats what brought me back to CM :P
