Links2SD does not work. At least for me. I tried to use it a couple of times and it does not see my ext partition even though it is there.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Thank you for your feedback
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
This statement is very wrong.

Compare it to the statement from Theodor Ts'o blog (which has been used as one of the information sources for that cnet article, btw.):

Ext4 can be used only when flash transport layer is in use, making the nand accessible as a block storage device. It can't operate directly on raw nand. Similarly, yaffs can be used only on raw nand devices (mtd), not on the block storage. Ext4 and yaffs can't be simply replaced by each other.

Also, using ext4 on top isn't always faster or slower than yaffs, it depends on the chip implementation too.

In any case, there's no ftl implemented on Milestone, so ext4 use for its internal storage is out of the question.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] virus_spreade121:
When I try to move applications to sdcard using app2sd or even using the Applications> Manage Applications , it gives error saying "Failed to move application. There is not enough storage left "

Is it a bug ? anyones looking into it ?

Anyone up for solving the issue?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Oh I see. Thank you for explaining it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
So is flash transport layer something that would need to be built into the hardware or are we talking about a kernel implementation here?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
ok installed market enabler and installed the missing apps - gmail and maps.

However strange that wasn't there from the beginning...

For the first time in Quadrant my phone is second on the list, with just slight difference from Nexus 2.2+...

So the weekend test begins, in order to decide this ROM or MIUI? :rolleyes:

Navigation is crashing 100% of the time with CM7 for me. GPS fix has been applied.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rolanderen:
I installed it yesterday and I am realy happy with it so far! Nice speed (feels faster than OC 2.2), everything I use on a daily basis works (messaging apps, readers, twitter, facebook etc) and my battery life is amazing on this! Haven't tested it yet but normally having 3G on would drain my battery about 10% per hour with light use and yesterday it took 2 and a half :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
I tried it for almost two days so far and since an hour ago i start experienced a panic kernel, like the whole system freezes and i have no other choice than remove the battery! :O

Anybodyelse???

SENT FROM MY MILESTONE POWERED BY GINGERBREAD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] max_3000:
I'd like someone to answer this please :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Adriench:
Does this rom include the new copy/paste system introduced in Gingerbread ? or does it need 2.3 kernel to work ?

And which version of the market is included in the CM7 gapps?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] smokeymacweed:
Yes the new copy paste function is included

market version is (2.2.11)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
i used this rom all day yesterday and hot damn is it fast.

tv screeon on/off <3
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hanslast:
Been using this ROM for 1 day now and its really snappy quick!! I only have problems with syncing my Facebook app with my contact, i does sync but the FB profile pictures of my contacts just won't show up in my contactlist when i want to dial someone. Does anybody has the same problem?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] emprize:
after use this app2ext, still the same, cant mount the ext part, when i click on the sd-ext, its empty folder, what should i do?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vladstercr:
All in all gingerbread is great but to my personal experience it's not that snappy like froyo. I'm using launcher pro plus as home replacement and in froyo I managed to set it so I wont get redraws when closing the browser or other application that needs a lot of ram.

Note: I disabled JIT

In gingerbread with the same settings of launcher pro I get redraws. I tried with jit disabled, enabled, vmheap 32,40 and it's the same.

Is it something that I'm missing out?

If it werent for this everything would be great about this rom!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Dunnera:
can anybody explain the current situation about themes?

I´m coming from miui so I didn´t have such problems...

Where can I get more cm7 themes, or must someone port this to our milestones?

thx in advance!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] KnekKeR:
I can't mount the ext2 partition. I tried the apps2ext posted by goodwin_c, but it doesn't work.

The apps2sd posted by goodwin_c in the thread [Info/brainstorming] Compiling modules for the 2.6.32 beta kernel doesn't work either. I get stuck at the CyanogenMod boot animation.

Has anyone gotten the ext2 partition to mount succesfully?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hanslast:
I had a problem when i wanted to take a picture, i opened the cam app and after 5 seconds my whole phones freezes and rebooted :S :S

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pomac:
The really odd thing is that the compass works if you use a compass application, it seems to be google maps specific or does anyone know of another app where it doesn't work?

Perhaps a new API or so causing a screwup?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pomac:
This is the same as:

Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Performance > Lock home in memory

Simpler to use, esp if you don't have a physical keyboard etc =)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
had 2 restarts in 5 hours, but is super fast!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pomac:
I also have to add, having never actually rooted a phone like this, (since i've always needed them) that applying the zipalign really sped up the boot! (As in the option in OpenRecovery)

Are the default APK:s really not zipaligned?

Also, i have to add that i have a problem with Wifi, following the issues list on googlecode - i hope that the next version will have a fix for it.

Excellent port of CyanogenMod 7.0 (alpha?) ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
I've managed to fix the compass, see the first post.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Does it actually matter in the case of Milestone?

Both hardware and software FTL solutions are possible. Most devices with bigger amount of internal storage use eMMC (hardware). As it is a block device, some "normal" file system (as opposed to nand file system) had to be chosen. The Google's fs of choice happen to be ext4. (And of course, in the case of SGS, the Samsung's choice was the retarded rfs crap).

Even if the Milestone's kernel could be fully customized and the software FTL solutions would not be patented, it's not reasonable to expect any performance benefits from replacing mtd+yaffs with sw ftl+ext4. (Also, the praised multi-threaded ext4 nature would see performance gain only on multi-core CPUs anyway.)

Simply put, ext4 is nice and all, but it is not relevant to any real Milestone issues at all. I suppose that we will be using ext4 for app2ext on sdcard after the 2.6.32 kernel sources will be released by Motorola, but that's it, nothing more.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Umm, sorry for bothering, but can you tell me how to fix timestamps issue in 2 sentences. I've read about those extra GMT options from February 23, and ticked/unticked everything, but still, recieved messages 2h before sending lol.

Edit: just found ur post where you explained it better, gonna try now.

Yup. Working :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
See http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=412

Fixed Mms.apk is attached there.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
If the sdcard is not actually full, I'm able to reproduce this error only when the sdcard is mounted to pc via usb, hence unavailable for the phone itself...

If you are experiencing this issue at the time when the sdcard is not shared via usb, then I would need to see logcat to be able to tell what is going on in your case.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Tomdroid:
I repeatedly ran into a similar (same?) glitch/bug while mass re-installing all my apps through the Android market website, then later again when starting several dl's through the device market. My guess: too many parallel installation processes creating read/write conflicts that end in false "out of memory" reports. In any of my 20 or so cases, a simple re-try with fewer parallel installations "fixed" it.

And as for the actual case when moving to SDcard, I had that too. Usually happened when clicking on "move application" too quickly upon opening the app's management window. Again, clicking on the app, waiting 2-5 seconds, then clicking "move" solved that.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Some cursor related object release fixes are present in 2.3.3 source.

As the 2.3.3 is not fully incorporated in AOSP yet, we have to be patient.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Alright. Anything you see is memory related then? Like lack of memory or anything you can suggest that may help improve performance of my phone?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Funnnny:
Hi, I'm currently thinking about buying an old Milestone to replace my Wildfire, I used CM for a while now and will install CM7 on Milestone too. Is there any change this port going official on CM7 repo ? Is there any problem stopping this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Hi everyone,

after a month using CM7 i am going back to MIUI...

The phone is quite fast when using sms and calling function, but i feel is full of bugs when i am using it elsewhere...

Freezes a lot and also reboots a lot, thus i am going to the more stable MIUI Rom for the moment. I respect a lot the work that is being done here, but the bugs just crossed my limit... :o
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] virus_spreade121:
The SD Card is definitely not mounted with the USB when am trying to move them to sdcard storage. There is around 5 gb of free memory still left in the sdcard.

How should i extract the logcat file ? Where exactly is it located ? There seems to be a small glitch or a bug which doesnt work if you hit the move to sdcard button in the first try , for sure it doesnt work for few other clicks . But ultimately after trying few clicks , say like 5-10 times , then it works and for some application even that doesnt work. You may want to look into the problem kabaldan:)

I tried doing it so , coz I thought the instant opening of the application and then hitting " move to sdcard " might take a slow process so I waited for about 5 seconds and then hit it again. It moves to Sdcard for some apps and for some apps it doesnt work :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nashapps:
I think because of android version compatibility. CM7 is gingerbread while CM6 is froyo.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nashapps:
my suggestion: find handset with unlocked bootloader. however i love my milestone :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] etoy:
will the next version be updated with latest O2 leaked rom parts?

from what i read on its thread,it seems to fix a lot of previous issues.

also..2.3.3 soon! :)

p.s. 100 pages!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
That's strange. Android should then not allow to move that app to SD, or at least give a warning. A normal user won't understand why the widget dissapeared.

Even a genius like myself didn't understand why his System Info widget wasn't on the widgetlist :p
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
ftl = Faster Than Light? :D

(just kidding, I'm just frustrated that I don't understand anything you explained ;))
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
What I still don't understand is, the kernel is 2.2, and a beta of that even.

But the software running on it is 2.3, build from 'general' 2.3 sources from Google?

I was wondering, how can software (e.g. gmail, gps) work with an older kernel, isn't it possible that the newest 2.3 apps use some functionality in the kernel that isn't there bc it's not the 2.3 kernel? Or is it CM's mutations in the software (the ROM) that make it compatible? Or is the kernel totally independent from the software running on it through some layer?

So in fact there is no way to work around bugs inside the kernel. But even if Motorola releases an official 2.2 we still won't have a 2.3 kernel, bc of the bootloader?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
There is nothing to be updated from the O2 betatest - it's identical with the previous asian leak (build 5.26).

2.3.3 build is on the way. :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Regarding the kernel, you can e.g. read my response here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=386#c6
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
Does that mean the current kernel not supporting ext3/4? (I guess ext3 and ext4 are kinda in the same group and are different from ext2)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] virus_spreade121:
:D :D Any idea by when ? Tonight :D ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
So if I understand it well, the 2.3 kernel is not very important for a stable CM7. There are not a lot of improvements in it to need it, it's the layer above that that is closed (no sources)?

But...memory management IS handled inside the kernel, so improvements on that regard would not be available to the milestone?

In this picture, is this all part of the kernel? Or is only the bottom (linux kernel) the kernel we are talking here about?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rotundjere:
How to install new market on CM7 ??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Thanks for the info. I wasn't implying we implement this in the Milestone. I'm just trying to learn everything I can. I myself am trying to get into Android system development. Programming is not new to me but mobile development is. I've sent you a PM before but you must not have gotten it.

But anyways, thanks again for the clarification.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] latino147:
If you install the CM7 google apps package you should have the new market. At least I had it installing nothing else than CM7 and the package.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
The kernel we are talking about is only the Linux Kernel in that picture, that is shown in red.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Funnnny:
Three kernel isn't dependent from the its run on top of it. But mostly system api will not change. So we can use older kernel while still update the os part.

So, there's no Youtube apps ?? (and I can't find it on the market & using market enabler) ??

How to get Youtube apps :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] etoy:
cm7 gapps is just basic apps,not the full one that was before with cm6. most of the apps are automatically installed on first run,you can choose what to install and what not. just flash the ones you linked before and try it by yourself! :)

market will be also updated to 2.3.2 automatically
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Yes there is youtube app and gmail app if you have correctly spoof your phone using MarketEnabler.

In MarketEnabler, you have to long press on the option (eg. Verizon) and a menu will pop up. Then u can spoof your phone to be whichever network you want.

Then go to the market, and just search for Youtube and you shall see it.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aumkar:
Okay. I'm having some serious issues.

#1. After setting up a ringtone with Ringdroid and setting the output file as the system ringtone, the ringtone resets automatically to default after sometime. IE it doesn't stay on the new file created.

#2. For some reason "Google Services" kept my phone awake for 38% of the 13hours it was unplugged dropping my battery to 5%.

#3. The phone's memory management is seriously messed up. It just lags after a while and keeps redrawing the homescreen. And also, if I start playing music and then play Angry Birds, after 5 minutes or so, the music shuts off, and so does Angry Birds.

I've cleaned caches, etc. Used my own overclock file ( that works/worked fine on other ROMs ), Fixed permissions and used Adblock. Dont know whats wrong.

Edit ---- This is on RC2. I'll be downloading RC3 now.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] virus_spreade121:
What about the changelog ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
I tested the Gun Bros - the game is being killed at the point it uses over 70MB RAM (pss) and wants more. All I can say to it is that it is obviously programmed very badly.

RC3 changelog in short is: 2.3.3

Btw., I don't think that there are any memory

management

issues. The memory is being managed quite well. The issue is that there is not enough memory ;).

Oh man, we need swap space support so badly.. :( Too bad there's almost no chance of getting it..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Anyone having camera issues? Up until recently I could not take a single photo. As soon as I did the phone would freeze for about 2 min, could not do anything, then a force close/wait toast would come up. After that I would check my camera folder and there are no new files. I got partial functionality by going from 5 to 3 home screens and getting rid of almost all of my widgets as well as 3G Watchdog.

My phone went from on average 33MB of memory free to about 48MB. Now when I take a picture it doesn't crash, the image from the camera remains and updates in real-time, but I can't take another picture or even exit the camera app. I can't even change any settings and the menu buttons on the phone don't even vibrate on key press.

I decided to try the vignette demo, it seems to work a lot better but the demo is limited to a 0.3MP picture but once I exit the app I see a notification "vignette is processing photos" and then my phone freezes up again for another 2 min.

I'm downloading RC3 right now, I'll try and see if that helps, and if not I'll try and format my SD card and see if that helps. Anyone have any other suggestions?
