It's easier to do what kabaldan said: open the latest downloaded CM7 zip file, remove the boot.img that's in there and add the boot.img from 0.04. Close the zip file and flash it again.

The other method does work too, but it's more complicated, specially if you don't know how to go to a dir in linux (cd /sdcard/nandroid/openrecovery/). ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sdtaddey:
Yap, i do know the first method cos' it's what i did already ... unzip and zip it again it's not complicated.

I referring to the second one ... so what to type to get into a folder, tnx!!!

Edit: sorry i just read it but i didn't realize!!!

SENT FROM MY MILESTONE POWERED BY GINGERBREAD
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude:
CM7 is AMAZING! It runs so smooth and no random reboots so far. CM7 is the best thing to happen to my milestone! I was using cronos ginger 1.0.0 and i got two random reboots within the first few hours, i was a huge cronos fan and didnt even want to try out CM7 for some reason...boy was i wrong! I thought i would share my opinion so if others who arent sure if they should put CM7 on their milestone...i would highly recommend it!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Oh my! I'm also on Cronos and you are so tempting me to switch!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Hi Milestonedude. Remember me?

I just wanna share with you my battery test.

On CM6 my overnight battery drain was 30%.

Now on CM7, my overnight battery drain is around 10%

Below is my test result after 6 hours 30 minutes, and I still have 100% left. It only dropped to 90% after 7 hours of idle.

Tips

B4 u flash a new ROM, make sure phone is 100% charged to 4200mV.

But event then, sometimes the reading is not accurate.

So to ensure that your battery is fully charged, shut down the phone first. Plug in the wall charger cable to the phone while the phone is turned off.

Then u will see the big battery level icon showing 100%. Next pull out the battery. Wait for a while until u see the "?" icon on the screen.

Put the battery back in and u will see that it is actually not 100% charged yet. Most of the time it shows it is really at 60% charge. So leave it there and let it charge until 100%.

Then once 100% fully charged, unplug the cable and boot into Recovery Mode and go to OR and flash the new ROM.

I say "go to the folder" not "open the folder" :P

You can do that using cd command. BTW. you must know at least some basic linux commands to do that.

Of course, you always can do the nadlabak method that is easy, I just post an alternative method.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bnwg:
I saw from other forum saying that usually it is the battery getting overheat so badly that the heat burnt the motherboard earlier than the CPU burnt as

1). the temp tolerance for the components in motherboard is lower than CPU

2). the size of battery is relatively big and close to motherboard

sounds logical...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
Bleh... The thing here is that even with a OC'd phone running... let's say, CM7 RC1, I don't think the majority of heating issues come from overclocking itself.

You can try this: Flash a stock ROM (no OC, no root, as you wish) then try downloading a relatively large file on 3G, then fry an egg on your phone's back XD

So overheat issues are not strictly from OC imho. Maybe the thing just gets hot. It's a design flaw or whatever. But I agree with the battery being more responsible than the CPU itself.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
It is a common occurrences that all 3G enabled phones gives out heat.

The heat is from the 3G and nothing to do with overclocking the CPU.

Download and install SystemPanel Lite or any Widget which shows you the speed of your CPU. U will noticed that the cpu speed throttles up and down but most of the time hover around the mid range and when it is idle it hovers at the minimum range.

The phone will only hit the max speed when under load or on demand.

I have noticed that apps will randomly open and be stored in my cache when I don't open them. Mostly the Market and Media will open in the background without me doing anything and they are stored in the cache just like launcher pro. Why is this going on? I feel like I may have malware on my phone...thoughts?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milestonedude:
I've been watching my running services and I've noticed other apps that open without my touching anything are Gmail, My Uploads and Market Feedback Agent.

Something very funny is going on! Can someone help me figure this out? It started happening after I installed CM7.

I want to make sure there is no malware on my phone wasting battery, ram and bandwidth.

PS: whenever I open gallery, along with gallery, Pico TTS and Media open. Why do Pico TTS and Media open with gallery? Its not like they open once I try to upload a photo Pico TTS and Media open; they open right away. Can someone explain what Picoo TTS and Media are/do?

However, when I go to install it, it says 'cannot copy META-INF - Installing Aborted' - any idea why this is?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
What? And what causes the battery to heat up if no overvoltage is occurring?

Doesn't sound logical to me and i have been overclocking EVERYTHING in sight since my Celeron 266mhz.

MAYBE if you combine overvolting with high levels of 3G and voice talk, you can hurt this phone.

The current lockscreen calendar widget code that deals with recurring events is a total derpfest. That's one of the things I'd like to fix before new release.

Hi Kabaldan,

Can you please update my phone in order to be thinner and with larger screen?

I know that our phone is not the best out there, but considering how it was without rooting, is from hell to heaven! Thanks everyone for giving us a phone without so many errors...but ok, I still get restarts and freezes sometimes! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aoi_sora9x:
Hi Kalbadan

My MS is running fine so far, suddenly one day the battery life becomes HORRIBLE. Normally it would last for about a working day (9AM -> 5pm, with about 30% left), but now it barely last past noon.

Checking the battery usage, I find out that there's this process called Media Server that has been using about 20+% of battery

What is this process? is it a part of the ROM? I don't recall installing any new media app from the market.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Media server is an essential part of the android system.

Probably some of the media files on your sdcard are corrupted and give a hard time to the media server who tries to scan them. It could be caused also by some incompatible/corrupted custom ringtone file you have selected.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] somecanuck:
GPS works great for me. It's really fast (<10 seconds) and accurate to within 3 metres.

There's a thread in the Android Apps forum on speeding up your GPS fix by modifying a text file to specify the best servers to use. Give that a shot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] florinash2006:
I'm not saying this with malice. I just say that if you decide to give up MS no one wold reproach you anything. You did everything with this ROM that a COMPANY (like Motorola :-j ) even dear to dream of. But our phones turned into grandfather of all phones and you, as a perfect developer that you are, need to move on. Thank you! I think I speak in the name of all Milestone 1 owners.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Aoi_sora9x:
Ok, I DID change my ringtone to some weird mp3 file, maybe that's the cause. Thanks Kabaldan.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] n3n00:
Yeah that will be for showin' off, not very usable IMO (maybe I'm wrong) :P.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] i2gh0st:
about restarts i had that but only because i was bored and change the governor to smartass :)) and after to performance, after i reverted to conservative everything is fine.

i'm saying this because i chanced some settings and after i updated the rom and evidently first thing it came to me was to blame the update.

but that wasn't it.

maybe is of some help :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Can you describe the issue in more detail?

It seems to be working for me (well, not the + version, I've only tested the heavy advertising "free" one).

AFAIK, how long it takes to take several different shots of the same scene can't be affected, the Milestone's camera simply works the way it works, with its limits...

The app seems to work fine, apart from several leaks it causes and the way how the gallery is invoked from it (those are things that should be fixed by the app's developer).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
By the way I assume that all people writing in this forum, still have the Millestone, however you Kabaldan? You still using it, or you changed phone?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
Hi, I have tried take some photos and it does not save any? I have tried in all resolutions.

When talking about quick photo shoot (taking one picture took me a minute :))

However, there is something like FastBurstCamera and it takes pictures even on milestone in one second.

So, if there is a problem with the saving picture on the application side it is ok.

but fast photo shoot is possible on milestone as FastBurstCamera is taking fast picture.

My question is: Is it possible to add some new camera to the rom. MIUI or else. With the HDR support and features with quick foto shoot like from FastBurstCamera.

I know that it might be wishful thinking but i think is worth trying to upgrade milestone camera soft.

BTW, hardware Acceleration is not the magical silver bullet, according to Android Developer: https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/2FXDCz8x93s

How do you fix package file is invalid in android market?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Until I release new build, you can use the attached library to replace the /system/lib/libEGL.so with the version that allows PewPew to run.

While Chainfire3D is very nice tool that allows many otherwise too demanding games to run on Milestone ('Reduce texture quality' is the most compatible setting that reduces the RAM usage), the issue with PewPew is a bit different.

Although PewPew creates RGB_565 native window, it then chooses RGBA_8888 EGL config. The attached libEGL.so will assure the match between the native window and the chosen EGL config.

I really love CM7 by kabaldan,everything is in shape except for one issue... CAMERA

but when i restore my old stock rom(2.1) camera is working fine

that's why i'm asking it.. :o

like this one

---------- Post added at 05:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 AM ----------

I dont miss anything on stock rom. :o what im asking is the possible alternative fix for CM7 camera on my milestone.:confused::confused:

and I also love the CM7 camera :D:D but its not working right on mine.:mad::mad:

lots of green hue like this one
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
Now I'm wondering why it runs fine on my Milestone... I've had PewPew on my phone for ages, to entertain my nephews when they visit. I haven't launched it for about 8 weeks now, but I tried it when I saw the posting mentioning that it doesn't work, and I found that it still runs fine for me! I haven't knowingly installed that library you mention Kabaldan...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
Is it possible that you have an older version of it installed?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Sushifiend: it may be an issue introduced in some of the recent PewPew updates (possibly by the SE X Play optimizations introduced recently, and it also may happen only when there is no configuration stored by a PewPew instance ran in the past).

When I saw the report, I downloaded PewPew from market (v 1.7.4), and noticed the eglCreateWindowSurface error in log. After checking the egl source code in framework, I noticed the dependecy on EGL_NATIVE_VISUAL_ID for the code to work correctly in specific cases.

There are already other workarounds for the EGL_NATIVE_VISUAL_ID not reported by the PowerVR SGX530 libraries, at other places of the framework egl code. So this fix is just an additional compatibility enhancement and may be possibly useful also for other apps than PewPew.

arjaycabling: are you sure that you don't have "Colour effect: Green tint" enabled in Camera settings (the top icon in the head-up display)? Have you tried Restore Defaults (at the bottom of the list)? Are the colors in camcorder recordings correct?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] arjaycabling:
already done sir... but no luck... :(:(

im so confused, :confused::confused:

because when i use my stock rom(2.1), the camera works fine...

thats why im eager to solve this one...also because i REALY WANT IT BADLY

so beautiful ROM you've made.

but i'll try another one later... give you some feedback...

thanks so much sir
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
I just checked and my version is also 1.7.4. I tend to install updates for apps as soon as they are released, even for apps I don't use often.

If it's still a problem for the OP, I'll have a look in my logs to see if I'm getting the error Kabaldan mentioned. The game does seem to run very smoothly and with no glitches - the only thing I noticed upon launching it was that there was a black screen for about 10-15 seconds before anything happened. I thought the screen had switched off so I pressed the power button - but that just locked the screen. When I unlocked it again, the black screen resumed for a few more seconds before the game UI appeared.

I wonder if the OP gave up on the game before it had finished loading?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] somecanuck:
Crud, I actually have an issue, although I suspect it's the camera driver. Taking a picture tends to freeze the whole phone for 10+ seconds. Does anyone know what options I can change to work around this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
I had this happening at some point in the past, and fiddling with the VM heap size (in CM>Performance) had a big effect on it. Currently my heap is at 24Mb which means I can take photos without any locking up. Sadly nothing I do seems to fix the problem of the phone freezing for a second or two at a time during recording videos, which results in videos with pretty strange effects where people and other moving objects seem to teleport from one place to another.

Can you tell the possibility of applying this animation at least? Or a way to perform integration with Milestone CM7!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jarlaxlebaenre:
7.1.1 is the most stable version that I've used so far but there is one issue that I was experiencing through many previous releases and is still present in here. While watching videos (via MoboPlayer) or playing some games (Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Dungeon Defender) Moto becomes extremely laggy and unresponsive (after about 5-7 minutes). The thing is it only happens when app sound is turned on. When this happens I have to pause an app, wait about 30s and everything is back to normal (for a while). After another 5min this happens again and the cycle never ends.

I've attached a log file with this slowdown happening while playing Cut the Rope.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HinotoriBR:
Nope, left it for 2 minutes, won't work. Also tried puting the phone to sleep then resuming it (power) and did not work as well... As soon as I've replaced the library by the one kabaldan posted, worked like a charm, about 2 seconds after I launch it, it will start playing its music and the screen will have "vector like fonts" saying it is loading... So, all I can say is that at least for my phone, without the new lib, pewpew won't work, and with the new lib, works like a charm. :D
