Wiped, flashed CM7, flashed GApps.

No Gmail. Why?

There doesn't even seem to be a gmail.apk in the GApps zip:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1087616/gapps.JPG

(gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mike-08:
Yes, I had the same issue. you need to install "Market Enabler" from the Android Market and fake a US Provider (e.g. T-Mobile US). Then you're able to download the gmail app from the market. For some reason Gmail app is not visible for German users and it's no longer in the gapp package...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] framir:
I've also FC with latest facebook app! :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rotundjere:
same as mine.. FB app sometimes FC:confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] yoda_143:
Thanks that worked. So basically the GApps zip is useless, since I can install everything through market now. Or is there something I specifically need the GApps zip for?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
I see. Any other comments? :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mike-08:
Yes, you cannot install anything from the market unless you have the gapps installed.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Now consider that GApps=market.

Does you sentence make sense now? :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lalit79:
hehe good one
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] yoda_143:
OK next question:

Lockscreen text

Before switching to CM I was able to set my contact details to display on the lock screen (in case I lost my phone). The option was in the same menu where you set the unlock pattern I belive. I can't find the option in CM (I can only set the unlock pattern). Is this setting not available in CM, or was it moved to some other menu?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenosapien213:
the FCs with Facebook app are the fault of the latest Facebok-App Update (1.5.3), NOT the fault of CM7.

you should go complain elsewhere ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mike-08:
I think so too. But is there a way to get the previous version back?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenosapien213:
If Facebook is in system/apps, you could just uninstall the updates via the settings/applications menu.

If not - you´ll have to look for an APK for 1.5.1 or 1.5.2

I´m at work right now, but I´ll look for one maybe in my lunch break if I have enough time. If I find anything, I´ll post it here.

cool: someone posted a link to 1.5.2 in our german Android-Hilfe.de Forums:

-----------------------------------------------

something else:

ever since FroyoMOD and CM7, the app "TASKER" does not recognize the starting of apps (when used as a context to launch profiles, such as auto-turn on GPS or set screen timeouts).

I have no idea why - maybe it is because of different memory management, and the OOM groupings have changed in comparison to stock-ROMs? is that possible?

because on APAC and o2-germany pre-release 2.2, it was still working as intended.

i´m not the only one with this problem, btw... and reflashing ROM and re-installing tasker both didn´t work. neither did re-adding the profiles in question. Tasker just won´t recognize that gReader Pro or Maps for example had started.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mike-08:
Thanks for the link. I'm downloading right now.

Regarding Tasker: I hadn't noticed this yet. But I tried it now and it did not work for me either. Strange...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenosapien213:
@tasker problem:

it is documented both here:

http://groups.google.com/group/tasker/browse_thread/thread/d423bf67a02f2eef#

(with a VERY disappointing answer from tasker´s dev, Pent - he simply refuses to adress the problem)

and here in the SuperCharge/Bulletproof Scripts thread, where a user is having the same theory as I am having - the locking of the launcher in memory is preventing any other app to run in "foreground" state... we need to find a workaround to that.

(of course it also happens without the supercharge scripts, since CM7´s setting "keep home in memory" essentially does the same thing:

Good morning people.

SMS - the Field image sender was blank....how put a image there? Stock version whe have an Android image there. Now missing.

Default browser - still stuck when you enter a search on search field and press go....stuck like no connection. If you press option image at the top the search Will done.....and if you perform a search by Widget search everything runs ok....

Sorry about my bad english.

Tks for anu help.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I hope that no longer happens with the supertest script.

The launcher is priority 1 but much stronger than lock home in memory. Virtually bulletproof (hard to kill) so redraws are very rare but wont stop games from opening.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gs111:
Facebook... I rolled back to 1.52, and everything works fine. For others here with the same problem, I would suggest just rolling back to the old one. I even just left the 1.53 in the system folder and just side-loaded in the 1.52 and it works fine without losing settings or anything.

Google Maps and keyboards. Using SwiftKey as an alternate keyboard definitely makes Maps more unstable than using the stock keyboard. For now, I've reverted to the stock one and it is working better.

The more I troubleshoot the slowdowns and lockups with maps, the more I'm convinced the real problem is just 'lack of memory'. With the stock memory settings, and right after a reboot, Maps is good. After a few hours of general use, Maps will be sluggish when you open it, and generally make you crazy.

If I then use AMM at 'Aggressive', Maps will start working perfectly again. But the tradeoff there is that every app that goes to the background gets killed which gets frustrating.

Setting AMM to Mild will get the background apps to run better and stay alive, but then Maps gets slow as other things are running in the background (it seems like they aren't being killed quickly enough).

I have played with custom settings and haven't yet found a balance that I like. I'll keep experimenting...

Other than this issue, I find the current release to work well. Very happy overall!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Again, works fine here. Maybe a problem with your language, dont know...

Will5, tks man.

Its very strange here....i try to change settings, clear browser cache and nothing....

In another post mine, i wrote about SMS image field too.....in yours is taht way ?!

Tks for your reply.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Well, I'm now convinced that the gmaps freeze on launch issue is actually caused by dalvik-cache moved to sd-ext. Or, at least, it highly contributes to it.

Since I moved the dalvik-cache back to data, I'm not able get the gmaps freeze again.

https://github.com/nadlabak/android...mmit/d371047798c75c5eb8aa8eac249bd51da15b645f

Of course, longer testing will be needed to prove or deny it.

Did you made a factory reset prior to flashing this rom?

Did you test on default (english) language if browser acts weird too?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gs111:
Just FYI, I'm not running an EXT partition on the SD card, so my dalvik cache is still in the data folder.

I'll keep testing...

Go to serrings>about phone>status and under my phone number should be your number. If it's not you need to put your sim to a dumb phone ( older sony ericsons or in iphone) an set your number on sim card. And also you must have your phone number in your gmail profile. There is no other way to do it. There is software for this but it doesn't work after restart. All this can be found if you try to search!

Hi Kalbaldan,

I don't know what the lock issue with the rotary lock screen was as I've been using it without issue. However, if you try to unlock the screen in landscape after waking the phone by opening the keyboard, the rotary lock images are a little messed up... looks like it's using the portrait graphics...

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wreako24:
Well, AFAIK, on CM6 I think there is an option called "lock messaging app in memory", this should change the permission to -17 where the system will not kill the messaging app/service.. I'm not sure about cm7 having this option though but I guess thats the problem when a memory intensive app causes the system to kill the messaging app..

i don't know but probably yes. my friend has same problem on his milestone only that is only solution which worked..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
I don't like the slight delay when launching apps introduced by the move.

dalvik-cache on mtd block device instead of sdcard makes the phone's response faster.

I was not sure about the dalvik-cache move to sd-ext at all in the first place, but now I've made my mind about it. I simply don't like it :).

(I plan to investigate the possibilities to join cache and data mtd blocks together to make maximum use of the internal space without running out of space sooner than necessary.)

But I don't think it's a big issue, it's only about what 07app2ext script in /system/etc/init.d is in use.

If you'll keep using the current script, you'll have the dalvik-cache moved to sdcard as you wish.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
If you replace the /system/etc/init.d/07app2ext script with this one:

https://github.com/nadlabak/android...49bd51da15b645f/prebuilt/etc/init.d/07app2ext

and then set the executable permissions (e.g. "chmod 750 /system/etc/init.d/07app2ext" from command line), your dalvik-cache will be back on /data after reboot.

Thanks for highlighting the cause. I had the same question about the messaging icon without the android. Managed to get it fixed by adding my phone number on the SIM.

BTW, you don't need to use a dumb phone. The CM7 comes with that ability for you to set your SIM phone number. It is under Settings->Call settings->Additional settings->My phone number.

How can I use the function sys.keep_app in build.prop?

I had previously activated "keep home in memory"

I use ADW EX so I write sys.keep_app_1=adwfreak.launcher.apk, but the launcher redraw...

So I delete ADWLauncher.apk in system/app,

renamed adwfreak.launcher.apk (in data/app) in ADWLauncher.apk

and moved ADWLauncher.apk (ADW EX Renamed) in system/app

Then put sys.keep_app_1=ADWLauncher.apk, reboot...

But nothing, after closing firefox or gun bros (heavy apps) the Launcher continues to redraw!

How can I keep ADW Ex in memory??:confused:

I think you need to mention the process name, not the app name.

For me, the process name of adw ex is org.adwfreak.launcher.

I'm aware of it.

This not a problem of the video recording itself - the resulting video file is perfectly fine.

The issue is in the TI DSP hardware accelerated decoder used for playback.

If you play such video e.g. in RockPlayer using software decoder, the video is being played correctly. The same goes for playback on PC.

So far I haven't found a solution how to correct the output of the HW decoder in this case...

Btw., I really recommend to use the bug tracker, reports in this long thread might easily go unnoticed.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
I really don't recommend to use this feature for launcher.

Later you will be reporting that you are not able to run some heavy apps, because there will not be a way to free the needed memory for them.

There is a perfectly valid reason to allow the launcher to be killed in some situations.

"keep home in memory" is working fine for me, the launcher kills and restarts are not very frequent, it really happens only when it is needed.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gs111:
This is also my experience. I might see the launcher redraw 2x a day.

set your wifi sleep policy to "never when plugged in".

it's obviously set to always on just now based on those graphs which is what i used to do. once i changed it my battery life tripled. i now regularly get 36 and 40 hours out of a full charge with moderate useage of browser and games.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
Could you explain what this'll do? Because from what I read it looks like if the phone is not plugged in, you will not be using wifi, but mobile data?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Travis90x:
Thanks for answering!

Unfortunately, in my situation, "keep home in memory" causes too many redraw of the launcher

Fortunately now, with these sys.keep_app.., I can still start heavy apps such as Firefox or Gun Bros (one of few apks that make redraw),

and when I have problems due to ram, I use TasKiller in aggressive mode

(killing all, except system's apk) re-obtaining about 50 Mb of RAM (from 45Mb to 60... sometimes)

Is not possible optimize some processes (deleting anyone not important) to free ram?

Or is more desirable have a swap on the SD (on ext partition)?

THEME

PS: If you see my signature, you can note that I'm making a theme for your rom from few months, but I'm having some problems with Theme Chooser!

The problem is that System_UI.apk is partly dependent (about png files) only from framework-res.apk, meanwhile Androidian.apk and CyanBread.apk are dependent from framework-res and System_UI too

So I can't have 3 totally different Theme with Theme chooser!

I know that is expensive in /system/app (in terms of memory) have 3 apks everyone independent of each other and independent from framework, it's like having 4 framework-res (really... in my theme all the png files are about 20 Mb :rolleyes:)!

But having 2 other "theme apks" such as System_UI (dipendent only from framework-res) maybe it's better! (there are 1MB for each "theme apk" like system_UI)

Nevertheless we can put these apk not in system/app but in data/app ;)

What do you think about this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Alta1r:
No, it just means that wifi will not go into sleep mode while plugged in. When not plugged in it will go into sleep mode when the device is not used for some time, but it will turn on again as soon as you use the device again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
this.

it will only revert to using mobile data if you have mobile data turned on. the phone always tries to default to one or the other. you can control the status of both from the notification bar power controls. if you would like it to not revert to mobile data whent he wifi goes to sleep then turn off mobile data.

logic lol.
