I had the same problem.. I think is due to milestone's ram... Those apps run background processes to download and show ads.. I've solved this by revoking their permission to acess the internet.

At last, that solved the problem with angry birds, never had the problem with mxplayer tho'.... but it could be because adfree block it's ads, that is, if mxplayer has any sort of ad..

- Bug report

I don't know when this did happen, but I've jumped a few updates (7.1.0 - 11-08-14 to 7.1.1 kang - current) and after the update i noticed that the hardware keyboard became a lot harder to use. It's repeating letters all the time, most of the time I press a key ONCE and it counts 3 presses, it's almost unusable...

I can imagine this has to do with the new double-tap for alt-chars (which I'dont use, even though I speak portuguese (brazil) ), and there it no option for setting the debounce delay, changing settings in multipress inteval also doesn't help at all... so i get double or triple presses all the time.

Since the hw keyboard became soooo anoying to use, I'm considering going back do 7.1.0 =/

Edit

- I also'd like to report that the 1% batery steps are not showing... I change the setting in device settings and noting changes, the same standard icon remains on the notification bar. I tried a full wipe / master reset and the problems persists.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mburrieza:
I copied mmcfx.ko to /sdcard/Openrecovery/lib/modules/2.6.29 (don't know if my procedure is correct) and then rebooted and did a full nandroid backup from OR. It crashed while dumping system partition (the led blink but stay in the same state forever). The only way to do a backup for me is to perform a "scandisk SD" and "scandisk ext" commands (from the OR -> menu utilities in AOR) and then the nandroid worked without problems (including sd-ext backup).

My card before the mmcfix.ko swap sometimes worked and sometimes not, so I cannot say that its solved now, but at least it worked without issues if I perform a scandisk before the backup.

Maybe the sd card is not dismounting properly when rebooting if its larger than 8GB or have more than 1 partition, so a scandisk is needed everytime?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
mburrieza: thanks for the info.

if you're still using ext2, please switch to journalled ext3.

In OpenRecovery console, use:

umount /sddata
tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

blackomegatm: settings>cyanogenmod settings>interface>status bar tweaks>battery status style>percentage

settings>device setting>multipress interval>0(disabled) or settings>device setting>multipress language>english(disable) will surely disable the double/triple press feature, it works fine for me and no one reported any trouble when trying to disable it so far

tomcheng76: I have Chainfire3D installed and still got 900KB free in /system. Have you replaced anything in /system partition before?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tomcheng76:
No, my 8GB SD card is totally new and just format it to

partition 1 6.xGB fat32

partition 2 1GB ext3

All i did was restoring titanium backup (user app only) and install JuiceDefender ASOP helper

btw JuiceDefender ASOP helper said the ROM is not supported and i did a force install, is it related ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] walker666:
Sorry, I was't sure if this was for me, but this module didn't solve my problem. Still freezes...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] walker666:
And pls don't bother with that, only reason why I posted I have issues with nandroid is that I hoped someone knows how to perform nandroid directly on computer's hdd(something like adb backup command in ics framework :) ).

So again, pls don't bother with this topic anymore, I can easly live without nandroid. Tnx

Does not work for me (ext4) Nandroid backup stuck and freeze when dumping data (replaced 'mmcfix.ko' in /sdcard/OpenRecovery/lib/modules/2.6.29 with your attachment).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
can you please post dmesg taken when the nandroid froze?

adb shell dmesg > kernel.log
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ngonchan:
Sure, here you go.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Thanks.

Well, the updated mmcfix for recovery aims at fixing the "mmcblk0: error -110" that happens when reading/writing some cards. I guess it is finally successful at that. I'll try to get hold of the faulty card I used in the past and test it with new module.

While I hoped that it could help also with the "DMA transaction error with device 61" that happens with some cards, now I see that this issue is more severe and given that even TI engineers were not able to fix it via sw (kernel) but only via updated hw controller revision, I guess the only solution in this case is to replace the card.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ngonchan:
If you need someone for testing something, I'm willing.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
@kabaldan: are the battery stats reset on every charge? Because I see that batterystats.bin "starts over", ie. it's file size is changing oftenly. Is this normal?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] blackomegatm:
blackomegatm: settings>cyanogenmod settings>interface>status bar tweaks>battery status style>percentage

settings>device setting>multipress interval>0(disabled) or settings>device setting>multipress language>english(disable) will surely disable the double/triple press feature, it works fine for me and no one reported any trouble when trying to disable it so far

Kadalban I've already done this.. I tried every thing in the book to try and stop double/triple presses. Btw, I'm not talking about double press for alt-char, I'm talking about the debounce time for the keyboard with the settings you mentioned.

If I try to type something on it, "cases" for exemple, I press the letter S it goes like "ccassses" then I press backspace and it ereases 2 or 3 letters each press, and pressing space some times give a dot (= double tapping). I know it's related to the debounce time because the same problem plagues shadowmod rom, since long ago, and was one of the first reasons I've switched to cm7 which didn't have this problem, AND because this doesn't happen in 7.1.0. (yes, I've rolled back).

Btw, I found the setting for the battery icon, it's working fine now, thanks.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
I don't want to start a flame, but why do you recommend ext3 over ext2 - is there actually any benefit? Taking apart discussion on FTL, ext3 thrashes flash memory a lot as all writes need to be written to journal first. And with clean shutdowns we should have on stable ROMs (and your ROM is very stable for me), there is not much value added in terms on saving on time needed for fsck. And, if ext3 is preferred to ext2, why not upgrade the filesystem all the way to ext4?

Have you check whether there are any bad blocks in your built-in flash? Just scan your dmesg logs for error messages on bad blocks in area assigned to /system partition.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Vatazhka:

1. sd-ext is not being unmounted cleanly even during clean system shutdown or reboot (because usage of sd-ext under android is a hack, not directly supported by the system).

2. journal write overhead can be neglected as sd-ext is being only read most of the time. The only writes to sd-ext happen during installation of new app or during boot if dex files need to be regenerated after dalvik-cache wipe or a change of an app.

3. simple practical point: I know users that were having all sorts of issues that went away as soon as they enabled journal on ext partition.

4. ext3 vs. ext4: yes, that doesn't matter, my point was "Please use journal on your ext partition, thanks." :).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nitrobg:
There's a bug which is randomly occurring, I can't reproduce it though. After waking up the phone with power button, the screen just goes black instead of showing the lockscreen. The display and the lights are on, it's just not showing any image and I have to remove the battery. I'm using v7.1.2. Any ideas?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
I used to see that sometimes. I would just turn the screen off and back on and it would show.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mburrieza:
I was using ext3 all the time. The problem I have seems to be with the sd fat partition and not the ext partition (The error appears in during the backup of /system or /data to /sdcard/nandroid). This fat partition is where the scandisk tool on AOR fix things even after a clean restart to recovery.

After a scandisk I can backup without problems, so its not a big deal for me.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nitrobg:
Sadly, turning off and on doesn't help :( The screen lights up, but there's no picture.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] megawebmaster:
I think there's something connected with memory, so even lockscreen cannot load. Turn screen off, wait a minute and turn it on - it helps in my case.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
That's true that init scripts are a hack - I thought of an equivalent of mount -a being executed during shutdown, though.

Fair enough - I'm switching to ext3 as we speak :)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Zinu:
I'm having a weird issue with this ROM. When using the hardware keyboard, if I press a vowel twice in quick succession, it makes a special character out of it. For example, if I type 'a' twice, it turns into 'ä' or 'à'. If i wait for about a second between typing it doesn't do this.

Ofcourse, this is not a showstopper, but it is very, very annoying... So does anybody know how to fix it?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
Zinu: It's a feature which I actually love :) It makes typing proper Polish with hardware keyboard a breeze.

If you don't need it, navigate to Settings -> Device settings -> Multipress language and choose English (disabled).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
I've changed my microsd with a class 10 one... now in AnTuTu benchmark it make 14 MB/s writing instead of 4... really fast! But in normal use seems identical.

Using two SD readers, I've transfered all my files in the new fat32 partition without problems, while on the phone I've compressed to TAR (with Root Explorer) all the folders in ext2 partition (so permissions remain unchanged) and put them back in a new ext4 partition.

All partitions are primary: 14 GB fat32, 1 GB ext4, similar to previous ones (100 MB extra on ext4; as I said, previously I had ext2).

Now in OpenRecovery I get the error while opening: E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Someone could explain why? However phone works perfectly and OpenRecovery too, despite this error.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
downloadman: You have probably formatted your ext4 partition with huge_file option enabled, which is not supported by the ext modules for recovery kernel (2.6.29).

Use

tune2fs -O ^huge_file /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

in recovery console to disable this feature on your ext4 partition.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Right, now it works. I had another option active, removed with the same method.

EASEUS Partition Master 8.0.1 Home Edition

The best practical solution for people who have WindowsPC is to use USB MMC Card Reader alongwith windows freeware "EASEUS Partition Master 8.0.1 Home Edition" for easy EXT2/EXT3 "Primary Partition" division and creation without formatting SDCARD and data remains safe while partition management. I have used this many a times before on different sdcards over past year or more. This works better on low quality sdcards also without any issue. Its all Graphical User Interface done with Mouse and no manual commands.

Using SDCARD is USB MMC Card Readers on any Linux PC is also a good option to make and format EXT partitions without worrying to give commands directly on mobile.

Of course I know there are many linux professionals here but this tip is only for novice users who do not want to give manual linux commands on command prompts and not to keep fighting with themselves when things dont work.

Ext2App or all latest versions of FroyoMod and Cyanogen Mod worked like charm with this type of partitioning of sdcards. Never failed... See for yourself... Good Luck....

*ps: ScreenShot of my own SDCARD is attached.

I've run into troubles with my sd-ext partition again. When I've created it for the first time (ext2) all my apps from /data were gone and only those I'd previously moved to SD were still present. Reverted back to stock SD and restored nandroid. Few days back I've prepared sd-ext again (this time ext3) and everything was fine when I booted up my phone until... until I've rebooted and noticed that almost all apps lost connection to Android Market. In 'My Apps' section I can only see 7 apps out of around 50 that I'd downloaded. Any ideas?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenomorph150:
Generally you should try to "not-use" root directly, only in the workaround as normal User with sudo. If something would go wrong in your programm or compilation process, the process would have "root-rights" and therefore could do anything it wanted, and that is a great security risk. Its not only about building source code, its about any stuff you do :).

I've just added this to the first post:

If you encounter wifi issues after update:

reboot to recovery, open console and enter

exit

and reboot. You will have to re-configure your wifi networks after this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Garreth88:
Maybe I'll ask one more question. I have small issue with WiFi since 7.1.2 (or even earlier). My WiFi disconnects after some time of inactivity during locked screen. I have an "never turn off wifi when connected" but it looks, like it doesn't work. This wouldn't be annoying that much, but when I unlock the screen, it always takes a lot of time to reconnect to the network (I sometimes have to manually enter WiFi settings, and then the phone starts to reconnect).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Garreth88: The time before the first re-connection attempt is determined by wifi.supplicant_scan_interval property defined in /system/build.prop.

It's set to 60 seconds in CM7, to avoid battery drain in case of wifi enabled while away from any remembered network.

The default in Motorola's firmware is 15.

You may want to lower this value in your case.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] xenomorph150:
I found another bug, but seemed to be there in 7.1.3 as well:

If I deactivate the screenlock via the Quick Settings / "Pull Down" Menu I can do that servals times (locking on, off and so on) and its still working, but after some minutes or hours of runtime, I could change that setting to "lock" and it would never ever work again, only if I reboot the phone or "hardreset" it via the real settings. Any hope in getting that fixed?

app problems

What is the lowest busybox version cm7 can support? I'm asking because I have some issues with an application (gemini app manager). I've tried different versions of the app and none works without a problem. I use this app primarily for autorun configuration and that feature does not work. Latest version of the app (2.3.5) won't launch at all while others have issues with modifying autorun settings. I've tried busybox 1.18.4 what made the app work but it messed up CM (sd-ex wasn't mounted...)

Perhaps someone knows another app that works for modding autorun off various apps?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
IMHO busybox version doesn't matter that much - it's compilation-time configuration which gives or takes certain powers. It's best to stick with what CM7 offers as by replacing busybox you can easily break your firmware.
