I have ADW EX too, and I want to replace the ADW on the ROM like you did. How do you go about doing it?

I'm noob, if you could provide step by step instructions, it would be appreciated.

Cheers!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Best way would be to replace it in the CM7 update file and reflash. You can also use rootexplorer to do it. If you choose my former method, remove the ADWLauncher.apk from the /system/app folder in the update zip file. Then download the apk of ADW EX and put it in the same folder and reflash.

http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/market/apps/app/org.adwfreak.launcher/ADWLauncher-EX

If you can't download ADW EX from the web, download it from market to your phone. It will be in the /data/app folder. Just copy it to your sdcard.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adam1741:
The camera seems to freeze on me after I take a picture, it also doesn'e save the picture into the gallery. Also, I'm using ADW Ex, and my bar at the top doesn't appear after a reboot. I have to use my swipe up action to bring it back. Any suggestions?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Latest version is super! No problems for now, just one home redraw in 20 hours...

I didnt even need to replace the boot.img and everything works smoothly and faster!

Till yesterday i was almost sure that when new MIUI version was going to come out i would switch to that, but now i would be skeptical!

Thanks Kabaldan
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] winettou:
Can u give me some clues how to make it? Yesterday i killed my sms app after bulletproofing launcher;/

DSI kernel bug workaround makes my milestone LAGGY!!! WTF was that? plus suddenly since 3 months ago the "CRT on and off screen animation" can't be used although the checkbox was checked..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
CTR on/off works. You have to set your animations to normal.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] consolation:
I'd turn off as many animations and effects as possible...

Missing SMS!

Hi!

Can't receive SMS if a bigger program is running. Some of them arriving without notification, but mostly they'r just missing.

MOD: I've found the solution.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] luke666s:
hmm... have the same prob... but honestly i dont understand why killing of musicplayer will solve the prob... i even dont use the music player... i just use the phone, sms, mail, maps and sometimes games...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gs111:
Just a comment on CM7 0.08-11.03.27 RC3. It running very well on my milestone, no crashes and good performance.

The stock camera is still a little frustrating... It will take the first shot well, but there is a long wait before it is ready for the 2nd one. Miui camera works better so I'm using that for now.

Props to @kabaldan!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Agreed, camera app was starting to really get on my nerves and I was reluctant for a long time to try the Miui camera, but I finally did and like it much better. If anyone still hasn't tried the Miui camera and is having any issues withe the stock camera, switch it up.

apps2ext not working

hi ... i have a weird problem .... i formatted my 16gb sd card to have 800 mbs for ext2 partition and rest as primary.... both are primary ..... but after flashing the latest CM7 build my sd card is not recognized although my PC reads the FAT32 partition.... i can mount the same partition in OR to my PC ... but with the phone turned on , my sd card is not recognized .... am i missing something .... coz i think this rom supports apps2ext right ?????
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
I think lordfreyr meant replace the music process with your sms/mms process name.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
Alternatively, you can try clicking the "Lock home in memory" option inside CM settings >> Performance.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Rotundjere:
you should not lock your home in memory since droid/milestone only have 256 MB RAM

:rolleyes:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
Just test camera functions.

Took 6 pictures, recorded a 1 minute video clip, everything worked fine! Im running 27.3 rom!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gs111:
@keunhuvac, do you use the hardware button to auto open the camera app? Do you use the hardware button to take the pics?

I've noticed both camera apps are much better behaved if I use the screen buttons instead of the hardware one...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Over here too. I'm not using this ROM, but mine is based on CM7 too. I didn't have any problems with camera from the first GB rom I was using. Only that bug with hardware camera button which is fixed now (not in my ROM).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
But if you don't lock it, you will be in danger of receiving a text message and not seeing it anywhere. Because your messaging app just got killed before it can save it.

If you lock it, then your other apps (such as your home screen clock, or your launcher, or your music player) might get killed first, but at least your Milestone will still function as a "phone". The Dialer btw is already "locked in memory" by stock Android, so not catching calls (using Nadlabak's default settings) is highly unlikely.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
I used onscreen button to take all pictures!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dimushor:
periodically i have problems receiving the calls. sometimes the sound is muted, although i do nothing with the phone. other times it vibrates once and then silence. somebody else?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
I was having the same problem with the camera as a bunch of people here. After first picture, camera would freeze and when trying to take another picture it would lag and all.

I've tried launching the camera from the app drawer and then use the onscreen button to take pictures and it worked! No lags, no delays and no freezes. I've even recorded a video and returned to camera and still working fine. In the same test I took one picture with the hardware button and the problems came back.

So, I guess this could be the source of the problem. Something between the hardware button and camera app is messed up!

I don't know what kind of logs could be useful so if anyone can point me out (dmesg or logcat) I could try posting something here.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Dont know how different can be launching the camera app from onscreen icon or hardware button, its just the same apk. Maybe launching the app with the button pressed, makes init process go wrong.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rajeshjamnadas:
On motorola stock android 2.2 there is option for USB tethering, can we use the same in CM7. As most of the time I have to remove my card and insert into USB modem if I use CM7.

what about my problem?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Is it really available in the stock ROM?

https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/47263

The latest 2.2 kernel supporting USB tether is the old one from SHOLS 5.06 build (known as G.O.T 2.2.1 leak).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Every CM7 ROM has the same problem. Phone has to be rebooted after some time of using, because it gets too laggy, and slow. It is for sure the memory problem, cause default minfree values are kinda low, I think. I noticed this if turning on/off one app/game, than other, and other etc. It just starts to FC apps/reboot(<probably DSI idk...).

I guess I'll try zeppelinrox's minfree values and see what will happen...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Shoib:
One thing I've noticed is how a lot of my games (specifically like Gameloft games or EA tetris) won't work like they did before I added custom roms. Is there a fix for this or anything?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rajeshjamnadas:
Ohh so it is only available in Indian version.

It is available from Setting -> Wireless and Network -> USB tethering

after selecting USB tethering its is connected NDIS and we get connected to internet without any setting on PC or mobile.

Shall I upload that nandroid backup for your reference so that u can extract the required files and incorporate in this build.

Its Android 2.2.1
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lordfreyr:
Well, despite this "hack" I had a missed SMS. The first few times I tried this, the SMS popup window appeared over all the apps, but I repeated this with a game, and I didn't got the SMS, although my Girlfriend's phone showed the delivery report.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] GieltjE:
I 100% like the new option to disable the dock observer ("- option: Disable dock observer (CyanogenMod settings>Input)").

But whenever I set it and reboot the phone the setting is lost, and the phone still turns on by a magnet :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] winettou:
Good not only me got this problem. Hope now maybe it will be fixed, prob its all about releasing memory for app u are using now and phone close sms app;(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
It will be fixed in the next build: https://github.com/nadlabak/android...mmit/8403a3eb1c820c9b8708c81b3e4f7a57bad81f68
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Subbie171:
It really makes zero sense, but I can vouch for that. Using hw button usually means it's going to freeze after the 1st picture for me. Lauching it as an app gives it a higher chance of not locking up.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
More elaborate info here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1012330

I hope it doesn't hurt :p

Seriously you can tweak them how you like.

Not everybody uses their phone the same way.

Did you verify with AKMO or AMM that the sms app got locked in at -17? I don't use a 3rd party sms so I've been testing with ES Security Manager. Even though it sleeps all the time, it will stay at -17 for at least an hour because it just sleeps all the time and android drops priority levels of sleeping apps even though they have a high priority.

So you guys are talking about a 3rd party SMS app or the normal one?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:

Dear all,

I have issues when I try to play Gun bros or Modern Combat 2 - menu loads fine, but when I hit 'start', game exits to the home screen. I tried disabling jit and changing heap size up to 40m - it didn't help. Could you please give any advice? I really like CM7, but ability of playing nice games is crucial for me (that's why I've purchased milestone).

I'm attaching the logcat.

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
You mean:

ro.config.play.bootsound=1 ????

Bc I hadn't. I added myself, but it just did not work :/

(Of course i added the media file from FM to /system/media )

Any other idea?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] consolation:
i've had no end of troubles with 3rd party sms apps and pop up widgets. Going back to stock solved my sms problems, had to forego the pop up notifications, but i can live with that. We really don't have enough ram for widgets AND smoothly working phone, can have one or the other - not both...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
You could use " Sms Popup " for popup notifications in stock roms. Works very well.

Edit : Scrap that. I thought you meant stock roms.

There is some additional logging enabled as a residue from the previous gkisystem on 2.3 bug hunting. It will be disabled in the future build.

The files are in /data/logger, you can safely delete them (though the log files will be recreated again on next boot until the debugging properties will be turned off in /etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc).

Can we use Droid X / Milestone 2 kernel in Milestone 1 ??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
I've added the ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 to /data/local.prop to prevent the launcher from redrawing constantly, but every time I reboot it is removed. I didn't find anything on the init scripts that would overwrite local.prop, anyone have any ideas?

Someone said that setting "Lock Home to Memory" in CM settings is the same thing. Does this mean it has the same result or is it actually the same thing as setting the local.prop (same action to achieve the result)?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] msaraiva:
Prevents the Android system memory manager from closing the Homescreen APP to free up RAM.

I don't know why your file is getting overwritten, never happened with me. Also, from experience, setting "Lock Home to Memory" does not have the same effect as editing local.prop with the specified setting.

Guys, anyone tried "DSP manager" (don't know how exactly it is named in English localization)?. Does it work for you? For me it just FC when I activate any of it's features.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DiaboluZ:
Thanks, I was going to ask that.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Anyone else getting a lot of reboots? I know it's a kernel issue, but I seem to get it when typing a message with the hardware keyboard or when using a lot of data.

Yes I had done FC also, and in two times was when u was responding in the forum...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] stilo_msle:

The Rom is good as it is so early build . I Realy Hope that we could enjoy as soon as posible fully working and stable CM 7 For Milestone , for now it's a good rom, not great . But everything comes with Time ;)

Sorry For my English ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] joker2mbr:
I have the exact same problem with DSP manager, which FC at every start.

So far, these are the only two issues I have found on this ROM: the one we are talking about now (DSP manager FC) and also WiFi, which doesn't go to sleep, even when the screen is off. This makes the battery drain quicker than normal.

Other than that, CM7 seems to be working fine. :)

Best regards
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
For me the WIFI when screen is off keeps awake for 2 minutes... after this it just get disabled itself.

:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dnk.:
You can go to application management and delete data (ptoperties? sorry I don't know how exatly it is named in English locale, I'm using Russian one) corresponding to DSP manager and after it it will not FC , until you activate anything in it :)

May be it's something missing in 2.2 kernel, required for DSP manager to function. But that feature is kinda ... not a mandatory one :) As for me...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
I guess that the music controls implemented in CM7 will suffice, CM6 is dead, I see no reason to backport it.

There is already OTA support implemented in OpenRecovery, I'll see how it will go, though I'm not sure if I'll be willing to make incremental updates. Currently, all the builds are nightlies and the CM7 code has not stabilized yet. In some time, there won't be any need for frequent updates...

The kernel update from 2.6.29 to 2.6.32 in the case of 2.1 to 2.2 transition has been much more important than 2.6.32 to 2.6.35 in the case of 2.2 to 2.3.

AFAIK, there are no fundamental features that we will be missing, given that a decent signed 2.6.32 kernel will be released by Moto in the end.

FIY: even many of the officially CM supported unlocked phones are still running CM7(2.3) on 2.6.32 kernel...

The DSP manager issues have been reported by the Droid CM7 nightly users a long time ago, so far no one managed to fix it. It's not a Milestone only issue. I'll try to look into it as soon as I find the time.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lalit79:
I seem to have a strange issue with the battery. Post charging it seems great. But as soon as it drops below 50% the battery drop is more than significant and almost instantaneous. E.g the drop from 30% to 20% is almost within seconds. I have noticed this for the past few days. I think its more of a gingerbread issue rather than a kernel issue.

Anyone else notice this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
Same happened to me this afternoon... i recharge and forced the battery to drop to 30% and as you said, it dropped to 20% in seconds.

Dunno why.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mav3tan:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] peekay2n:
oh yes .. the kernel issue (thanks to moto)

OT: what i did to *fix* this problem was

1. flash CM7 from the original file

2. do a nandroid restore for just "boot.img" from an older leak (im using the file from FroyoMod 2.1.0)

this way, i now have CM7 gingerbread without the crashes :D ... but probably with the USB battery bug (haven't tested battery life yet)

Is there a way to show the exact battery percentage on the top bar? Because i am using a widget now to show me the exact battery percentage, but RAM is precious!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
There is a battery monitor that puts a percent on the status bar but it's a pig.

All it does is a simple calculation to figure it out. Plus it's really ugly. Did I mention inefficient too?

full battery is 4200mV

empty is 3200mV

The difference is 1000mV so the math is easy to do in your head.

Say it's at 3900 mV

It's 3900-3200 = 700 which is 70% (do 700/1000% or 700/10)

If it's 3550 you know its basically 550-200 = 350 which is 35%

I just use Battery Monitor Widget which uses very little resources and have it display the mV.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
ok thanks, so conclusion from the above: no option in CM to show battery percentage :o
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] winettou:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] osprey23:
Thank you for a great ROM. It is very very usable.

A recommended improvement, i.e. perform a check on the call forwarding upon booting. Currently, if call forwarding is activated it will show up on the notification that call is being forwarded. However after a reboot, the icon is not showing up, so you have no idea that calls are forwarded.

If you navigate to the call forwarding settings, the icon on the notification re-appears as it check the status of forwarding.

Thanks again!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] salisbury_steak:
There is. I'm not on CM7 anymore so I can't tell you exactly where it is. But you can find by just looking at the CM options inside your settings. It will change your battery icon altogether though.
