Regarding ICS/CM9 for Milestone - I'm not working on it at all at this point. (Though I may change my mind in the future). There are too many issues that I have no clue how they could be solved. And the usefulness of the possible result of hard and time consuming work is very uncertain at this time.
Also, I'm currently too busy with real life issues...

+1.

But let me use my first post in this esteemed forum to very sincerely thank kabaldan (and any associates) for the work he has done.
Safe to say my Milestone would have been passed to the kids as a high-tech building block some time ago without his creations.

I can't download apps from market or watch YouTube videos when connected to wifi. All other apps work as expected and has internet access. If I disable wireless and use 3G everything works fine.

Has anyone experienced this? What kind of logs should I collect in order to trace the problem?

I did, a couple weeks ago. Market downloads wouldn't work on Wifi at my home, but it did on 3G and on Wifi at my work. After googling around and trying some suggestions, I ended up suspecting it could just be a problem with my home connection so I decided to just wait it out, and sure enough, last weekend it went back to normal.

Seems like internet links on Brazil, at least the ones based on embratel afaik (Virtua and the like, that I use at home and work) seems to be behaving very badly lately - while my home connection went back to normal last weekend, yesterday my work connection started acting up, though in other ways - connections to some sites in certain regions of the US was slow, while in others it was ok. Tracerouting made me suspicious of some kind of routing problem. So I did some trickery on my server's NIC that's connected to the ISP link to spoof a different MAC address for the NIC to force a new/different IP lease from the ISP, and that seemed to fix it, for now...

EDIT: I see you're from Campinas too - I live there, but work at São Paulo.

Dude, seriously, I think it's clear kalbadan won't be able to help you on your RTL issue. Maybe you should look in the Hebrew community for someone that can support RTL Hebrew development for CM7.

Regarding the invalid package when trying to install apps from market, type "df" in Terminal Emulator and check if /cache partition is close to 100%. This may be the issue.

yes
the cache and also the system and data/logger all what i write on 100%!!
what can i do please?

i got curious about that, and did a df myself...

99% on system
42% on data
74% on cache
84% on cdrom (wtf ?)
01% on tmp
90% on pds
and 74% on data/logger and cache/recovery

should i be worried about the others close to 100% ?
or just cache that matters ?

and how we clean those folders ?

HW acceleration has been done by a Defy dev. so would it not be worth it?

You can easily clean up those folders to free up space.

Yes, I do this route everyday from Campinas to Sao Paulo too! Hehe

But it makes sense this Virtua problem. A friend of mine was complaining that his media server wouldn't work with YouTube while PC and milestone would. At his girlfriend's house the media server worked fine.

I'll try to get a new IP lease on my router, let's see if that works. Thanks for the feedback, it surely gave me some ideas. It's good to know your not the only one facing a specific problem. ;)

Take care!

what can i do please?

Are you using the sd-ext partition (you have to split your SD card and create an extra partition).

If you are, just replace the 07app2ext script in /etc/init.d using the procedure from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18432609&highlight=07app2ext#post18432609 to move your cache partition to sd. The downside is that you may slow down your apps if your SD has slower transfer rates (low class).

If you don't have the sd-ext partition, Google it or search in this forum for the procedure. I did it a long time ago and don't remember well enough to do a step by step instruction.

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

rm -rf /system
rm -rf /data
rm -rf /cache
etc..

Actually DON'T do that! Why would you want to erase everything from /system? And that's not how your clear cache either.

The thing is /system is supposed to be close to 100% and kabaldan odexed the system apps and moved what he could to use up that space and free /data.

/cache usually gets close to 100% if you're using sd-ext and has a lot of apps installed. If that happens you should consider moving /cache to sd-ext to avoid problems installing and running apps.

The other partitions you shouldn't worry about as they are set during CM7 installation and shouldn't grow (have data added) after that.

So, with these comands ain't you formatting the device?

I mean.... "rm -rf /data"... won't touch your apps and those apps' data?

And also... something that it comes up while writting this is:
What about the bad blocks... how to get rid of them?

Did you change the baseband to your location (Phillipines) in the OR menu AFTER you applied CM7?

no sir, i just updated it into "update-cm-7.0.1-o.08-11.04.24 RC10 milestone signed", when i use the rom I found out that it drains my batt. so fast, but on the good side, it can detect my network, I can use it to make a call, send sms.

the next thing I planned is to restore my old 2.1 ROM(the one that I backup earlier before I upgraded), and still detecting my network..

then i tried another custom rom wich is "update-cm-7.0.1-o.08-11.04.24 RC14 milestone signed".. it also drain so fast and there's no complain for that, i realized then that cm7 is too heavy for a milestone logicaly :p

i noticed that it cant detect my network anymore, so i restore mu backup 2.1, and it also cant detect my network anymore....

have I done something wrong? or is it has a limitation for upgrading?? :confused::confused:

although I see the Baseband menu, and i see many baseband.zip but never tried one, why? i'm thinking that there's a proper procedure to change baseband, plus there's so many tutorials how to change it.. du no which one of those.


thanks for reply sir,...

I'm using CM7 since a couple of days, and I must say that is very good and fast!

Btw I've noticed that the read_ahead cache is set to a low value (64 if I don't remember wrong). I've set it to 2048: isn't it better? Or can it bring some issues?

Thanks Kabaldan for your incredible work!

I do not recommend to set read_ahead_kb for SD card higher than the motorola's default 128. Though I plan to change it from the current 64 to 128 in the next build.

- there is better use for our limited RAM than to dedicate 2MB of it for SD card read caching
- it's a read caching - there is no influence of it on video recording (writing)
- Google maps were more prone to freezing - the higher the SD card read_ahead_kb, the higher the chance for freeze. Though I'm not sure if this is still true after the recent GMaps updates and other changes and fixes in system

About the benchmarks - flawed results are quite common, I don't trust them, especially when they do not correspond with the values I'm able to measure. And I have no issues with video recording even with much lower read_ahead_kb values. As I said, this parameter should have no influence on write speed.

@somecanuck

I've set it through an entry in init.d, so it's permanent without using any ext app

@kabaldan

Thanks for the explanation, I was just try to figure out if the better performances are restricted to benchmarks or also in nomal use.

According to benchmarks, that value gives a strong boost even in writing (3x faster), but I don't know how much bmarks are trustable..

Does that value increase I/O even in EXT partition, or just in FAT? I mean, may I have benefits in opening/closing apps installed in EXT?

    Obviously, it's the CyanogenMod team and all CM contributors in the first place.
    Besides that and my own humble work, CM for Milestone would not be where it is now without the essential works of Skrilax_CZ (2nd-init, OpenRecovery, custom kernel, 2ndboot fixes and more), Czechop (hack to the kernel usb initialization code that allows to keep BP working after 2ndboot to custom kernel), f_pasha (gkisystem semaphore patch), Tiago Sousa (author of the original overclock kernel module) and contributions from others that I forgot to list here ;) .
    Also worth mentioning is a lot of notable work done by the Defy developers: Epsylon, Quarx and Maniac103
    The original 2ndboot code is by Dmitriy Taychenachev and Eugen Maksimov.

    Please note that Milestone is not officially supported by CyanogenMod.

    Full guide from stock Motorola Android to CyanogenMod 7 for Milestone
    - by pontomedon (many thanks)
    - it includes instructions on how to partition sdcard directly in OpenRecovery (to resize existing fat and create ext3)

    New era with custom kernel via 2ndboot
    Czechop (Milestone 2) managed to create a hack to the kernel usb initialization code that allows to keep BP working even after 2ndboot to custom kernel.
    (See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1908687 )
    Thanks to Skrilax_CZ, the issue of low performance before the first device suspend has been resolved (L2 cache remained disabled before).

    Note that a lot of work on the custom 2.6.32.60 kernel for Milestone has been done by Skrilax_CZ.

    Main new features:
    - Kernel Samepage Merging enabled
    - ZRAM (compcache) can be enabled under CyanogenMod>Performance settings (will be active after reboot)
    - additional swap file (or partition) can be used, if desired

    Download:
    CM7.2.4f: http://d-h.st/3fb
    gapps: http://d-h.st/M05
    (older CM builds: http://d-h.st/users/nadlabak/?fld_id=2535#files and https://github.com/nadlabak/android/downloads )

    7.2.4f (2.3.7) 10.03.2013
    - the libaudio that allows beepless call recording has been made optional, because some users reported BP panics on incoming calls
    -- you can enable it under Device settings > Experimental libaudio (the change requires reboot)
    -- the experimental libaudio received new binary patch that may (or may not) fix the BP panics (testing and confirmation from users is needed)
    - several additional fixes done to the call recording code
    - added CPU stats kernel module
    - the moto RIL data connectivity workarounds introduced in 7.2.4c can be optionally disabled by ro.telephony.ril_class=motow3gplain in /system/build.prop (the default value that includes the workarounds is "motow3g")
    - ringer audiofocus fix (by maniac103)
    - omap3 hwrng is now exposed by kernel and used by userspace rngd to feed the entropy pool

    7.2.4e (2.3.7) 30.12.2012
    - call recording: fix recording for calls with asterisk in phone number
    - fix typo in /system/etc/init.d/12swap script
    - use better way to implement 'Disable Dock Observer' option (fix issue 637 - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=637 )

    7.2.4d (2.3.7) 27.12.2012
    - add built-in call recording option; no beeps every 10s during call recording any more
    - wifi: disable 802.11n support by default (HT_Enable in tiwlan.ini) to prevent stale data connections when using certain N routers
    - kernel: reverted doubling of the DAC fifo size to 16384 (to prevent audio drop-outs) as it caused broken audio playback in certain games
    - fix /system/etc/init.d/12swap script

    in case you're wondering why the new build is not uploaded to github as before, see https://github.com/blog/1302-goodbye-uploads


    7.2.4c (2.3.7) 11.12.2012
    - kernel: increased DAC fifo size to 16384 to reduce the chance of audio drop-outs
    - fix unwanted lcd-backlight activation by camera button while the screen is off (was related to the light sensor workaround that allows to use camera button to provoke sending of light sensor data without waiting for ALS interrupt)
    - better handling of Baseband Processor panic (by maniac103) - instead of immediate reboot like in stock firmware, user is notified and can choose to postpone the reboot (e.g. when he's got some work to finish first). Note about the reason of reboot is displayed after restart.
    - workarounds for some motorola RIL issues that cause occasional data connectivity problems (by maniac103)
    - build: in-line kernel building
    - optional swap activation on boot via /system/etc/init.d/12swap
    -- requires swap partition present as third partition on sdcard
    -- swap size (in kB) is determined by persist.sys.swapsize property
    -- no persist.sys.swapsize property defined or set to 0 means no swap activation

    example how to set persist.sys.swapsize property in terminal:
    su
    setprop persist.sys.swapsize 16384


    7.2.4b (2.3.7) 09.11.2012
    - kernel update: 10MB more of a free RAM (when the camera is not active)
    -- allocate the LSC workaround memory only for the time while the ISP is actually in use

    7.2.4a (2.3.7) 03.11.2012
    - overclock: vsel entries restored to proofed values
    - 2ndboot: updated pre-built binaries
    -- a fix instead of a workaround for the GPU performance, proper ATAGs passing (thanks to Skrilax_CZ), etc.
    - Music.apk: fixed music playback resume after a phone call (thanks to Danny Baumann)

    7.2.4 (2.3.7) 23.10.2012
    - the bad GPU performance on low CPU freq fixed via workaround during init (temporary insmod of stock pvr driver)
    - updated kernel:
    -- we're now on 2.6.32.60 (thanks to Skrilax_CZ)
    -- new interactive governor backported from jellybean (with input-boost feature activated by touchscreen events)
    -- camera helper buffer (allocated during boot) reduced by 6MB (thanks to alef78) > more free RAM available
    -- optional 5 point multitouch fixed
    -- fixed usb tethering (only in the 2nd uploaded 7.2.4 build - sorry for the confusion)
    - bootinfo hacks could be removed thanks to new 2ndboot update by Skrilax_CZ

    7.2.3 (2.3.7) 18.10.2012
    download: https://github.com/nadlabak/android/downloads
    - older builds are hopelessly obsolete from now on

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    7.2.1 (2.3.7) 01.09.2012
    - GPU drivers (SGX PVR) updated to 1.7 (latest Gingerbread release) from 1.5 (Froyo), despite the locked kernel
    -- it allows less hacky surfacefliger/libui/egl code. Most notably, some workarounds had to be used for some apps to prevent occasional crashes on screen rotation before. Most prominently it can be seen in Gallery app. Before, the view had to be reset on each rotation (to make sure there won't be a crash), now it can work more naturally. Similar hack has had to be used for Google Maps as well...
    - the proprietary gralloc.omap3.so patched to report 265 DPI to match the physical characteristics of the Milestone's display
    - "stay away from zombie content providers" race condition fix - before, randomly, apps could get suddenly killed (after they attached to content provider that has been already killed, but its zombie process still there). This race caused apps to suddenly disappear e.g. after the search function has been initiated (reported e.g. in the case of Google Maps before). It should no longer happen after this release.
    - a recent Google Maps update changed a part of the name of the always running background service from NetworkLocationService to GoogleLocationService. This change has been reflected in ActivityManagerService code, so the GMaps hack is working again.
    - lots of fixes and also new features from upstream CyanogenMod is included, e.g. the increasing ring tone volume option.

    7.2.0 (2.3.7) 16.06.2012
    - 7.2.0 release
    - the most notable 'last minute' fix is the elimination of the occasional 'mute' incoming call (while the two-way call recording ability is retained)

    7.2.0 RC2 (2.3.7) 01.06.2012
    - fixed initialization issues leading to bootloops or stalled boot if the ext partition mount took too long
    - fixed lockscreen button behavior (notification power widget) where the lockscreen couldn't be enabled again after a while (thanks to maniac103)
    - Toggle2G built from source; removed the need for root permissions
    - usb: usbd built from source (thanks to Skrilax_CZ), disabled usb notification sound, usb tethering can be enabled directly from usb notification menu
    - wlan: updated kernel drivers, disabled adhoc support in tiwlan.ini to prevent connection issues for some APs
    - possible workaround for mute call issue (more feedback is needed to confirm or disprove its effectiveness) - Issue 752
    - LatinIME is run in SystemUI process to spare additional 2MB of RAM
    - added protection of Mms app if its service is doing a work. It shouldn't be necessary to keep the Mms app in RAM all the time to prevent lost sms anymore
    - added possible recovery from DSP Bridge failures (its effectiveness needs to be confirmed) - Issue 672
    - updated fonts (to fix special Romanian chars)
    - install process wipes the dalvik-caches automatically
    - etc.

    7.2.0 RC1 (2.3.7) 23.03.2012
    - various fixes under the hood

    7.2.0 RC0 (2.3.7) 21.02.2012
    just a quick fix build:
    - make sure that services don't start before sd-ext has been mounted (if present)
    - fix LED in charge only mode

    7.2.0 RC0 (2.3.7) 17.02.2012
    - wide screen video recording now captures in 848x480 resolution (was 720x400)
    - two way call recording is now possible (recording has to start after the lines have been connected, not sooner)
    - UMTS baseband (2100/900 vs. 2100/1900/850) can be selected in Device settings, the selection will persist even after future system updates (please do not use the baseband switching via Open Recovery anymore)
    - fixed in-call and SIM PIN unlock screen layouts for landscape orientation, e.g. for phone in CarDock or DeskDock
    - additional information about call can be indicated (e.g. that an incoming call has been forwarded, that the call is on hold on the remote side...)
    - workaround for broken proximity sensors - camera button can be used to generate fake 'proximity far' event
    - many other important fixes and improvements
    note: CMWalpapers and Androidian and Cyanbread themes are not included anymore as more space in /system was needed for the libraries that enable the higher quality video recording. Themes and wallpapers can be installed e.g. from market separately.

    7.1.5 (2.3.7) 21.01.2012
    - ics animations (including rotation) backported to gingerbread
    - renderer updated with rotation support - proper playback of videos with orientation hint
    - adhoc disabled in tiwlan.ini (may help few people with wifi issues)

    7.1.4 (2.3.7) 19.01.2012
    - native wifi tethering finally works (proprietary 3G Mobile Hotspot removed, no dun apn dependency anymore)
    - T9 dialer
    - new 'Holo' ring lockscreen style
    - increased net buffers for wifi, added values for hspa
    - internal: switched to init built from source, wifi: switched from system/wlan/ti to hardware/ti/wlan, gps: gingerbread lib (from Defy GB firmware) is used instead of froyo lib + gpshim wrapper
    - other things I can't remember now ;)

    notes:
    1) 7.1.3 skipped to distinguish from the intermediate version used as base for the last HO!NO! Mod
    2) If you encounter wifi issues after update:
    reboot to recovery, open console and enter
    Code:
    rm -R /data/misc/wifi
    exit
    and reboot. You will have to re-configure your wifi networks after this.
    Also make sure you have correct Wifi Regulatory domain selected.
    Settings>Wireless & network>Wi-Fi settings>menu>Advanced>Regulatory domain.
    Select appropriate value (11-US, 13-EU, 14-JP), then menu>Save

    7.1.2 (2.3.7) 13.12.2011
    - fixed recurring events in lockscreen calendar widget
    - fixed possible egl surface creation failure (in PewPew game and possibly other apps); reworked egl config selection
    - added optional revamped ring lockscreen style
    - fixed bugreport service (left shift + del), report files are stored in /sdcard/bugreports/
    - added /etc/powervr.ini for some PowerVR SGX tweaks (> less RAM used by surfaceflinger)
    - internal storage changes:
    -- dalvik.vm.dexopt-cache-only disabled by default ('no free space left in /cache' issue)
    -- return back to 07app2ext moving also dalvik-cache to sd-ext
    -- lib2ext script (and support for it in installd) newly included. It is not active by default. It can free huge amount of space in /data by transfer of applications' native libraries to sd-ext. Make sure you have enough free space (at least 100MB-200MB) in /sd-ext before you enable it. To activate it, run "su" and then "lib2ext 1" in terminal on phone. The libs will be moved during the next boot.
    - etc

    7.1.1 (2.3.7) 24.11.2011
    - fixed issue of some Gameloft games (and possibly other apps) hanging during sound engine initialization
    - fixed lockscreen calendar view to be able to display also the event description
    - the most specific Milestone options (keyboard, logger etc.) moved to Device settings (from CyanogenMod settings)

    7.1.0.7 (2.3.7) 21.11.2011
    - camera: added possibility to focus during video recording (via focus key - half pressed camera key)
    - keyboard: ability to set multipress language independently from locale
    - keyboard: additional German multipress set where sharp s can be entered by double press on B key (instead of S key, as double s is quite common in German)
    - media: fix broken playback position in several audio players (MortPlayer Audiobook, DoggCatcher and others)
    - fix possible system crash caused by lockscreen calendar events display

    Update of CM7 with 2ndboot to custom kernel
    http://d-h.st/ZDo

    What's new:

    - BP panic is now handled correctly
    - 2ndboot files are now stored in /system/etc/2ndboot
    - kernel and modules updated

    CM7 test build with custom kernel

    download: http://d-h.st/pDt

    main features:
    - Kernel Samepage Merging enabled
    - ZRAM (compcache) can be enabled under CyanogenMod>Performance settings (will be active after reboot)

    main issues:
    - because of yet unknown reason, the device performance is limited until the phone first enters a deep sleep after 2ndboot,
    so you should let the phone sleep first while the usb/power is not connected, after every boot.
    Since the first successful suspend, the device performance is restored to normal till next reboot.

    Please note that the kernel and other files are stored in /data/2ndboot, so you will need to reinstall the ROM if you do data wipe or it won't be able to boot.

    will there be any update for your 7.2 mod? I know it is much stable and great work but only a question or will you look at cm10 to get it fast like this?

    Both CM7 and CM10 for Milestone are under active development, though I've been focused only on CM10 lately.
    I'd like to release new CM7 build before the end of August, if all goes well.
