- The milestone is not supported by Cyanogenmod? What does that mean anyway?

- why is there no CM7 to be found on http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/motorola-droid. Something to do with my first question?

- Wasn't the problem with the milestone that the kernel couldn't be replaced? So it's still running on a 2.1 kernel or leaked 2.2. kernel??

- what will happen if I remove some apk's from the zip-file before flashing? Will the flash fail or will it be an easy way to get rid of ADW, CarHome etc but also gtalk, voice control?

- anyone else having good experiences with going from smartass to interactive governer (concerning reboots)?

- What does this mean exactly:

Please, if you are experiencing random reboots (that involve the M logo) or prolonged screen freezes, you should revert to an older beta kernel that is free of the DSI errors.

What is the difference between the kernels, what will I miss when using the old one (so it CAN be replaced?) and do I still need to do this now that RC2 is released?

- with the Galaxy there was a problem when flashing with less than 100% battery, battery stats went crazy. This was fixed by deleting some stats file during the flash. Is there something like this in CM too?

Thanks for any answers :)[/QUOTE]

CM for milestone is not officially supported by the CM team. Kabaldan provides us with an unofficial port. I believe that this is mostly related to the kernel/bootloader situation.

Motorola locks (signs) the kernal to a specific bootloader. This means that we cannot compile custom linux kernels and HAVE to use the motorla ones. There are few versions of Mot kernels floating around (beta, etc) Only a hack allows the devs to package the mot kernel with Android Open Source ROMs like CM.

Regarding removing apps, i would recomend removing them after install and then doing a nadroid backup for reinstall purposes.

In this way, you can really test an update without thinking you mucked things up.

Regarding governors, i dont have problems with any of them (reboots, etc). I see a performance (as designed) but can easily use all of them.

Regarding the M logo, if you dont get reboots;disregard. If you do and they bother you too much then roll back to an much earlier kernel. This has a downside of other bugs (worse battery life,etc)

Dont bother with other kernels if you dont have problems. No real feature difference. Some kernel modules exist for things like vpn, overclocking and ext filesystem support.

There are many disussion about battery calibration. Some people claim that you need to delete battery stats file. IMHO, i get better results from doing the question mark trick when flashing ROMs. It involes removing the battery while the phone is charging from a wall outlet (phone off) and putting it back in. The percentage charged changes drastically if you battery was out of wack. Charge like this for a real charge (overnight?)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
thus the calibration of the battery is solely dependant on what is the battery level at the time of new ROM installation? :o
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude:
What do I do if I get random reboots to the cm logo, not the m logo? I got a random reboot turning wifi off about ten min ago.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
Since there's no way to compile kernels for Milestone because it is signed, the official CM team won't touch Milestone as they need to recompile features in the kernel. Kabaldan has this port to Milestone and does his magic using kernel modules on the leaked 2.2 kernels, even though he has no access yet to the kernel sources (and that's why CM6 is still beta and so CM7).

Yes, it is related to you first question. ;)

It can be replaced if you extract it from a motorola sbf leak or official rom. You cannot replace with your own kernel.

That's the easy way not to install unwanted apps. Just make sure you don't remove anything that's system dependant. Here is a list of what can or can't be removed: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barebones

I use smartass as it gives me better battery life and still keep very good performance, but I'm no overclocking expert so I can't get deeper into this subject.

After the release 0.04 from CM6 the new leaked kernel started to show some DSI panics and this would cause reboots for some people. If you experience a lot of reboots then you should go back to CM6-0.04 kernel.

The 0.04 kernel had a bug regarding charging via USB that would either not fully charge or have to reboot after charging so the phone could go to sleep. That's the main difference AFAIK.

Don't know about this, but there's a battery charge method a few posts ago if you're having low battery duration of battery draining fast.

at my milestone i get the sms 1 hour earlier

won't work 4 me

switched back, too untill anyone can tell how to fix the timestamp bug
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude:
I use chompsms and timestamps work. I assume the bug is only in default sms app.

Is there a way to allow the double clicking of a word to highlight it? My milestone use to allow this but I assume the gingerbread keybooard doesn't work that way.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skribzy:
Hi - One thing I can’t quite work out right now is to do with the camera. I'm sure that the camera on Eclair was full screen but having used both Froyo & Gingerbread (CM7) the resolution seems to have changed?

pictures taken whilst on Eclair are full screen and list the size as 2592 x 1456

Now (on both CM6 & 7) the size is listed as 2592 x 1936 and they do not fill the screen (i.e black bars on either side)

I have played around in OR with the Froyo Modding menu camera resolution settings (i.e selecting full screen, OR says “done”, then rebooting) but pictures remain at 2592 x 1936 and don’t fill the whole screen.

Is this a limitation of Froyo/GB until Moto get their sh*t together and release an official version or is there another method/fix that I have overlooked?

Cheers

Unfortutely i had this problem too. Suddenly for the past month my wifi got fixed, but again some days ago the same problem came back...

Its either something faulty with the hardware of phone (i have my milestone for about 2.5 years. Or with the installation ofRoms, something got really screwed! :-)

After a full 2 years of this phone, I am finally moving off to the HTC One X. A great thanks to kabaldan for his works for our Milestone, it really help to make the experience with the Milestone a less painful one.

Will be keeping the phone however as backup, a pretty durable phone still. Also i wish the community here well. :)

can you please update your repository with a fix for Romanian "t" comma font ?

this is the problem

http://support.swiftkey.net/knowled...nian-language-issue-t-comma-character-is-not-

this is the fix

i already fix this after 2 flashes but it becomes annoying.

thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
Replacing the stock Droid font with DejaVu doesn't sound to be the right solution - are you sure that it has appropriate coverage across all scripts? Some people reported in the thread you attached that it broke CJK (East Asian languages).

On the other hand, I'd really welcome reverting the commit which enables call recording. Currently potentially broken ("silent calls" issue) recording-enabled libaudio is the default and you need to flash a zipfile to revert it to known safe one without call record capability - I think it should be the other way round.

I started last week with this problem also. I am testing CM7 since version 7.1.0 and this is the first time it does not connect to Wifi at home.

I deleted wifi directory, reconfigure wifi, and it can not get IP fom my wifi router.

The router is working since varios years and notebooks are working ok.

No message at router.

Also I cleaned cache at MM without luck.

REgards,

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Thanks for the notice about the issue.

I guess that better way to fix it will be to use the updated and expanded DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf from ICS as the fallback font in CM7 :).

My Miles is near it's end. Using latest CM7 unofficial build posted here and the phone is laggy, stock camera unusable after first shot, apps are slow and battery is draining fast.

Gonna have to stick with it till June though. My father will be in the US for work and I'll get the SGS3 or the HOX.

I had the biggest trouble getting a credit card here. Almost nobody in my country has one and it's not accepted in most stores. Banks are very strict for customers wanting one.

Didn't stand a chance of getting my hands on one before my 23th birthday so I had to pirate all apps and keep getting the bull**** of Google that people don't buy enough apps in their store :mad: Actually all android users here face the same problem.

Hey guys, need some help.

I use GO SMS PRO as my default txt messaging app. I DON'T use MMS, only SMS. Recently, I've been having problems where I send txts to my friends, and it doesn't actually send out but gets stuck at the "sending" animation. It will send out after a while, but some txts just get stuck and don't send out. I usually have to exit GO SMS PRO, or send a txt to another friend, or do something else to get it to work. I don't know exactly, but the txt will somehow send out later out.

I've never had this problem before. It's nothing to do with bad signals, I get excellent signals all the time. I've never had this problem on CM7.2 RC0 either, so I'm not sure if it's caused by the new GO SMS PRO update, or because I updated to CM7.2 RC1.

I live in New Zealand so naturally I chose the New Zealand baseband under Device Settings.

I also know that you can apply certain baseband.zip files in recovery, but I couldn't find any that is for New Zealand. The ones I found are something like argentina, telus, etc.

Anyway, this doesn't happen a lot, but sometimes. Some advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
It is highly recomended NOT to apply baseband through recovery anymore (both CM7 and CM9 by kabaldan). If you have this option in Settings then you should avoid basebands through recovery. If by some chance you still decide to try you can recover by reinstalling ROM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] chaoscreater:
Oh, I didn't know that.......could you explain why?

Thanks for your reply btw.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Not really. Some things have changed that makes them not compatible. How and what exactly I do not know.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Recovery for Milestone is so old and it wasn't changed since Froyo I think.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] L3ibnitZ:
Never touch a running system ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Hexchain:
It needs improving. We may find it useful if update can be directly downloaded and applied (even automatical nandroid backup), just like OTA package.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Hexchain:
There's a problem: DSPManager is implemented in SystemUI. I removed MotoAudioEffects because it causes great background noise while playing music, with "custom effect" enable. Calling it from DSPManager will cause the manager crash, then statusbar will be disappeared for a while.

If there's something crashed in SystemUI the statusbar gets restarted. Though it's only half minute, I started to think whether it's really necessary to implement things into SystemUI, just for few more free RAM. As far as I can see it doesn't make much difference.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Yeah,never touch it if you want a phone with running system.:p
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
I can't think of any reason why anyone would want to remove the MotoAudioEffects.apk. It's not a service - it's not running in background. It's just an UI that allows to enable/configure/disable the audioeffects implemented by Motorola in Milestone's libaudio.

Just don't remove the app. If the Moto audio effects are not working fine for you, simply left them disabled.

Android app process overhead is about 2MB. Running Usb.apk, DSPManager.apk and LatinIME.apk in systemui process results in 6MB of RAM spared. Every MB counts.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
For me MotoAudioEffects works on Samsung too.

Some questions about CM7:

Is 32m of VM heap size OK? I have a little lag when phone wakes up and Fruit Ninja have a lot of lag(it's the only game I have). Is this CM 7.2.0 good for any games or is it made mostly for use as a phone? Before I was on CM6(Nadlabak/Milaq) and it was OK.Thanks

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Vatazhka:
Fruit Ninja is very susceptible to CPU governor settings, I used it as a benchmark for tweaking.

Spoiler: smartass@800 MHz gets the job done (well, mostly) without enforcing any custom settings.

I think this is caused by mms.apk not being loaded anymore. This is the default messaging application (called "Messaging" in your menu) that handles incoming and outgoing communication. I've ran in to this problem with Handcent SMS. Handcent has an option to completely take over the SMS functionality from mms.apk and now my problem seems to be solved.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Deleting mms.apk from CM update zipfile is one of the first thing I do before flashing CM updates. Delete mms.apk (and relative odex) from /system/app if you use another messaging app (I use GoSMS and never miss a message)

hey guys just a quick question, I'm currently using the latest version (7.2.0 RC1). However, I'm thinking of going back to RC0 or reinstalling RC1 again because something's wrong with my phone receiving/sending txt messages.

I was wondering if I need to install the BPSW and devtree update zip files again? Or say for example a new version releases in the future, after wiping the phone in recovery, would I still need to apply the BPSW & devtree updates?

If I remeber correctly the only difference between last unoffical and current updates made by kabaldan on cm7 are one font change (for incorrectly displayed characters in some language I can't remember which lang. it was.

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

devtree and bpsw ypu apply if you are updating to cm7 from 2.1 ROM. Since you are already on cm7 there should be no need to apply again.

And you should try as scoutme recomended. I guess there is no point in going back to rc0 just to flash rc1 again.

Ok, I'll flash your latest unofficial. Thanks a lot.

EDIT: Installed and working

Can someone give me a honest answer if CM7 is really better/faster/smoother than CM6? I have cm7 installed on my MM but it's lagy when the phone is waked up.Also there are a some problems with some apps and games.CM6 was smoother for me but developing is stopped a while ago.I have official 7.2.0 RC0 on the phone.Is the latest unofficial one so much better?Thanks.

By wiping cache, do you mean the dalvik cache? Don't I also need to wipe data/factory reset as well, which will erase everything??

Thanks for your reply, but I wasn't trying to flash back to RC0 and then flash to RC1. I was saying, I'm thinking of flashing RC1 again and see if my txt message problem will be fixed, if NOT then I will have to go back to using RC0 since I didn't have any problems with it.

Maybe a glitch. Try formating everything and reflashing.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abu3792:
Nope its not broken, yes I can turn off the phone.....am tired of reflashing stuff
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] CeBits:
I understand how frustrating is to reflash until you get that perfect setup, that's why I always wipe everything even when upgrading to new CM7 version.

Try this. From the drawer launch "Spare Parts", go in "End Button Behavior" and set it to "Go to sleep". See if it helps.

If that doesn't help try this,

Launch root explorer

go to /system/usr/keylayout

mount r/w

open in text editor sholes-keypad.kl

find Key "POWER WAKE" it should say "Key 116 POWER WAKE" if 116 is not there thats your problem.

You can revert the libaudio, or as mentioned in the comments on Pavel's link you can hold/unhold the call and audio will be restored. The hold trick only works per-call though.

The same issue has been appearing on my device a lot since 7.2, and it's not related to who's calling or what the volume settings on the phone are. I'm sure there's an issue somewhere in the new code for call recording. If you don't use call recording, I would suggest reverting the libaudio with the posted update.zip.
