I just insert this line:

write /sys/block/mmcblk0/bdi/read_ahead_kb 2048

into /system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc And rebooted. It worked!

I'm going to try higher values to see which is better.

Will this affect the performance of loading apps when using apps2ext?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
because read_ahead_kb is a kernel parameter and affect the storage device i think so, give it a try :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pac213:
I'm not using app2ext right now, I just thought of the idea. Let's wait for the users of apps2ext to test it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brotkastn:
Thanks

I just wanted to say thank you, as the last release is nearly perfect for me. The only remaining bug i see is that google navigation reboots (cm logo, not the moto logo) the phone. I used navigation quite often since the release and it happens only when you use it a while.

(and, more free ram would be nice. who doesnt like more free ram ;) )

Thanks for your work, and enjoy your coffee kabaldan :D

How does app2ext affect free ram? I'm on cm6 and thinking about going back to cm7 if I can use app2ext properly and it fixes such issues such as poor ram performance. Any help please? Honestly, it's copy pasting and theming that I miss from cm7.

app2ext only affect the internal NAND storage and not the RAM. the two thing is not the same.

But I've heard that using app2ext consume less ram than the native app2sd as native app2sd run as a service?

BTW, anyone have an unstability issue after app2ext?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
Strange!!

Check this out:

Pick1= 128(default)

Pick2= 2024

Why the writing speed decreased that much?!!!

PS: I don't know if is an optical illusion, but my app using app2ext are opening faster than before ( just a bit, but it's noticeable)

SENT FROM MY MILESTONE POWERED BY GINGERBREAD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
yes and no :)

app2sd create a secure file in the sdcard fat32 partition and mounted a special way. this file is encrypted and archived, so access it firt need un unpack and decode, etc.. this is need a bit more resources, but not the whole app contained in sdcard.

app2ext mount /data/app app-private dalvik-cache (or whatever you need) with bind option from the ext partition, oruse a symlink method (i prefer the first). so it is use the sdcard for the whole application. if your sdcard not a class4 card at least app2ext is not a good idea, but definetly have more space on internal storage when use it.

i say it again: non of them affect the main free RAM :) it is only affect the phone internal storage and the speed of running applications.

if you take my advise use this:

- do not use any native app2sd script! if you have one, delete or move to somewhere else safe location (check /system/etc/init.d folder)

- install S2E from market (it is specially designed for CM7 based ROMs)

you can individually set what folder need to moved to the ext partition.

well, /data/app and /data/app-private safely moved, so pick this two option. CM7 mounted /cache/download with bind option from /sdcard/download so moved /cache/download is not neccessary but if you wish you can moved that too.

i do not recommend to move /data/dalvik-cache. the S2E script have a security part, if the sdcard not loaded succesfully at boot, workaround the tweak and the phone booted, but if everything work well, the dalvik-cache in a slower place will ruined the phone performance. moved app, app-private is enough.

S2E move all of theese independently. just pick what you need from the program and reboot. if you move back just unset any option and all files moved back to the nand storage.

S2E use a shell script placed to the userinit custom folder (run at the end of the init process), and place a minimal configuration files where defined all settings, and have a simple program icon in the app drawer. you just need to use the app drawer.

i dont say enough, use app2ext is only when you have at least a class4-6 sdcard! otherwise you ruined the phone performance.

ohh and excuse my bad english :)

Upgrade from 6.1.2 to Cyanogenmod 7 RC3

Hello,

My milestone A853 is now running your 6.1.2 unofficial port of Cyanogenmod and i want to upgrade to 7 RC3 version. Will i have to wipe data/factory reset after applying the update?

If yes, i will have to apply again the Telus radio?

I am using this phone with AT&T. Telus 3G bands are compatible with AT&T's.

thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
hi

yes you can upgrade. do a nandroid backup before that!

you need to clean dalvik cache and format cache and then apply the update zip and change your baseband with AOR.

you need to update the gapps too, CM6 version is differ from CM7. download gapps for CM7 and update the zip after the main CM7 update.

the first boot is take a while but no worry, wait it will be booted :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] koukobin:
Thanks ! I will try it tomorrow.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] koukobin:
One final question. Sorry i am rookie. You wrote "and change your baseband with AOR."

what do you mean excactly?

thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
In Androidiani Open Recovery, there is an option to change baseband for your country, or country which uses the same baseband.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Splog:

clear cache

clear dalvik

flash update

clear cache

clear dalvik

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
Tun.ko is already working!

Check in "brainstorming compiles modules for kernel..." thread by kabaldan ... there are advanced users talking about it and also how it works!

PS: Sorry, but I don't know much about this.

SENT FROM MY MILESTONE POWERED BY GINGERBREAD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
if you stuck at the bootloader anim something wrong with the dalvik cache recreation process, but the kernel loaded eventually.

in that case try to clear cache and dalvik-cache again, it will working second or three time.

titanium backup become handy if you switch ROM :) use it next time !
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eqzgkxokwa:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] GieltjE:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
i just installed this ROM (RC4)

it is fast, ooh man very fast :)

the USB tethering option not work at all so nadlabak removed it in the end. sadly still need a third party app for this.

few things what i noticed for now:

read_ahead_kb increased to 2048 (this will improvement sd card speed)

128Mhz cpu speed unlocked

recalculated vsel rates

modules load in init, so overclock script shrinked and cleaned.

added app2ext script, autoboot to or script to init scripts
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eqzgkxokwa:
uhuh I can't find it in github anymore..I would like to try it....

edit: never mind , I found it..

great job with the new rom btw -- thanks verry much
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rosmarcelino:
I am using the new RC4,two things that i realized is that the overclock file has change(the code organization) and there is a new ext2 file in init.d

EDIT:I changed the values of the file 10overclock but when trying to adjust the profiles on SetCPU it´s give me only the option to put the CPU between 125MHz and 550MHz. :(

EDIT2:Forget the overclock is just ok! :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
I am downloading it now, however how can we use app2ext with this now?

i think i say everything :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rosmarcelino:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] saptemai:
hello, there.

i have a problem with this rom: the hardware keyboard is not working.

it's a german qwertz layout milestone.

any quick fixes to enable it?

solved: do not change the keyboard layout in AOR immediately after applying the ROM. do it after the first boot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Geez.. I finally installed RC3 this afternoon and RC4 is out.

I was getting the apps on my ext2 partition activated and now this LOL

I notice the changelog uses a different app2ext script though.

I used the usual goodwin app2sd full update.zip and the boot script is called 06app2sd

In RC4 app2ext is preloaded with a boot script called 07app2ext

So just a heads up: delete 06app2sd from /system/etc/init.d

before upgrading

if you were already using your ext2 partition for apps!

So a couple of cool things are included, indeed.

- auto boot OpenRecovery (when rebooting to recovery) script added

- SD card reading performance improved (read_ahead_kb set to 2048)

It's great that nadlabak has included tweaks that came to the forefront recently (even though they aren't always new but still very handy.)

When I had to make my ext2 partition the hard way, I mainly used this guide.

So, for obvious reasons, that's the first place I looked and lookie:

But it turns out all the real work is already done. You just upgrade your ext2 partition :cool:

I'm just copying/pasting... but that sure looks easy.

I am not sure, but it looks like your ext2 partition should remain intact.

That's also :cool:

Quick question on GAPPS.

I'm currently using gapps-gb-20110120 with no problems on CM7 RC3.

I'm going to give RC4 a go - but - is it worth upgrading gapps to 20110307?

And if so - do it do it before or after going to RC4?

Thanks

That's how its supposed to work.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] GZ20TT:
So - is there a benefit to upgrading - if the earlier package is working OK?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheFluffyOne:
All seems (mostly) OK here using 11.02.07; I was able to purchase an app under this version, though the market did get stuck showing 'authorising'.

Once I had received the Google Checkout confirmation of the order, I cancelled the download and re-started it. It was then fine. No idea if this was an isolated issue or an indication of a general fault. In the UK and didn't need to use Market Enabler.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] KinChungE:

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Motorola obligated to release the source of their kernel under the GPL? We shouldn't need to rely solely on them for a stable kernel when the community with guys like Kabaldan can do their work 100x better.

Or did I just rehash the whole bootloader argument?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ralf_g60:
Updated to the last build, 11.02.09,

Still suffering the same issues,

Wifi keeps running while screen is off,

Browser does not load certain webpages with javascript turned on,

Batterylife is not so good, maybe because of the wifi issue,

And my RAM memory drops to 0, max 40mb, but most of the time it is pretty low.

Moved much apps to sd, internal memory is about 90mb.

Vm heap set to 40mb in androidioni or, cm settings max vm is 32.

Some random reboots, while asking a lot of the milestone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ralf_g60:
About the javascript issue,

I noticed certain pages do not load with java turned on,

Connected trough wifi,

But with wifi off, connected over hsdpa, there is no problem with browsing and javascript on??

So it's related to my wifi connection. Have this problem at home with wifi, at work and at my parents, so it isn't the router.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Wifi is not supposed to turn off immediately when you turn the screen off.

There is 15m timeout (to prevent unnecessary battery drain caused by possible frequent reconnections to wlan AP).

About the pages not loading because of javascript: I haven't experienced it, can you post some links that I can check?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ralf_g60:
Pages like:

Http://www.xda-developers.com

Http://www.telegraaf.nl

They just keep loading, sometimes I will see the page eventually.

But on hsdpa the pages will load, but also the progress bar on top keeps loading a long time.

When I uncheck javascript everything works fine.

About wifi, spareparts battery history shows:

Wifi on 100% (ofcourse)

Wifi running 99,3% ?

I have been using the RC3 with no App2ext. I would like to try my hand on it.

The question I have is, if I created the ext4 partition as detailed here, and if everything works fine, do I then have to turn off the option "Allow application moving" on the "CyanogenMod settings"?

My assumption is with App2ext, the system does not need to "move to SD", and it should just install normally to phone memory (App2ext will handle everything else)?

Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.
