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 (16.12.2011) update for OpenRecovery (1.46) to support ext2/3/4 filesystems: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod...ted_update.zip
- added parted binary for easier sdcard partitioning
- added .nomedia (to prevent OR bitmaps indexing by media scanner)
- it includes new mmcfix kernel module (fix sdcard read/write errors)
- ext4 modules for ext2/3/4 support
- tune2fs binary for easy ext2 > ext3 conversion directly in OR console

note: new gapps - gapps-gb-20111216-signed.zip http://www.mediafire.com/?botrs7cz11h8v5x
same as the official gapps-gb-20110828 with:
- Market (Vending.apk) updated to 3.4.4 version
- CarHomeGoogle updated to 2.2.1.4 version (it seems to fix some Sygic launch issues)
- new talk with audio/video chat included to make a single gapps update package again
- updater script fixed to be fully compatible also with odexed ROMs

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

- fix for non-animated unlock transition

7.1.0.6 (2.3.7) 15.11.2011

- Motorola specific AudioEffect replaced by newer AudioEffectSettings (fixes fx settings for speaker not restored after reboot), accessible from DSPManager menu
- added Compass Calibrator (Settings>Device settings)
- lockscreen can display both alarm and calendar events together
- important fixes to omap specific stagefright issues (multimedia)

Thank you so much, i have been waiting for this since gingerbread code released.

this is awesome, now I'll be juggling 4 roms in nandroid, my wife will be lucky if she'll ever be able to get ahold of me since I never use my phone as a phone anymore

CM7 is based on Gingerbread?
