[GB][08-09-2012] CyanogenMod 7 for Motorola Milestone 2 (Android 2.3.7)

[n3ptun3]

Thanks. Keyboard switch is on the top of todo list
I will look into 3D performance and compare it tomorrow with stock 2.2.2. Perhaps that's the UK's libs issue...
As for the ALT lock, that is on the very bottom of todo list I believe it does not work on Droid 2 either.

Edit: just confirmed the same result (10FPS) with stock 2.2.2 UK rom. Anybody could confirm it is really faster on Endless7's ROM?

It is faster, the egl files from the Defy release also give me something between 40-60fps on the planet scene.
I get 10-12fps with any Official Milestone 2 rom, UK, BR, AR, CH.. doesn't matter, they all do slow fps, with the Defy port it goes up to 60fps.

Quadrant: 2068 (first run) points & 2216 points on second run
-"planets": 31 FPS
-"DNA": 22 FPS

Nenamark1: 22.1
Nenamark2: 13.6

all tested on "cm7-20111021-NIGHTLY-Milestone2-v1.5.zip" from Endless7

Well, since on "3d specialized" bench like Nenamark there are no differences, maybe it's not really worth digging into...
What's funny is that I still get a good overall score in quadrant (2150+) in spite of 3d

Maybe it's another issue in Quadrant, which does not reflect real performance... Anyway I'll look at it.
Just fixed the camera, apologize for that. Something has changed in the framework with recent TI merge. It used to work before. I'll update the first post once it's uploaded.

Someone could try fps2d (free from market) to see 2d performance.

On customs roms it gets around 60fps. On 2.2.2 official, only 30fps (rom is locked to 30fps in 2d)

Hi, I would like to try this rom, was using cm7 rom from Endless7 now.
But I need to know if this rom will work with asia baseband, or does this include the baseband changer?
thx

 

[dangpzanco]

Great job! I've been waiting for someone to do this for a long time!
I also tried creating a repo, but I lacked time...

PS: If you want the repo/organization http://github.com/CyanogenMilestone2 , I can give you the rights to manage it (or I'll just delete it). Just let me know.

Could you consider adding a keyboard layout option in your nexts builds?
Also, alt-lock is not working at the moment. It's not critical though...


I also noticed bad 3d performance in Quadrant.
On the "planets" test, using Endless cm7 i get something like 60fps, but 10 with yours. Didn't notice any change when playing with n64oid/ogl-es though.

Edit : Scored 13.6 at Nenamark2, 21.6 at Nenamark1. Could somebody compare with Endless's CM7?
Edit2 : Concerning Quadrant, I remember getting 10fps too when on stock french 2.2.2 rom.

Are you sure you got 60fps on the planet bench?

I never got pass 20fps on that

To OP, great work, hoping that Cm7 will support us officialy now

Hey tezet ...please take a look on 720P....we are looking forward for this...

How`s the still cam on this rom...i mean is there any quality difference on this...?

 

[momus87]

I just updated to the latest build

-Camera indeed works fine now. Quality is I think the same as in stock rom.
-I manually changed keyboard layout to Azerty, as I used to with early endless's cm7 builds.
-Baseband swicher is not included, but I think it would work if installed from an apk.
-Touchscreen sensitivity is really better when coming from Endless's CM7 .

Tezet, do you think it would be possible to have orthographic correction with the hardware keyboard ?
In Settings>Language>Integrated Keyboard there are such options, but they don't have any effect. (They never had any, even on stock rom)

What about battery charge (in compare with cm7 from Endless7) - if you try to be objective?

Endless CM7 quadrant score is unreliable, there are no textures in planet scene (planet is a white globe without details), seems like a trick to get a higher score.

I normally get about 69 on the planets - on MIUI and overclocked to 1.3

Quadrant scores for me are
Miui - 2308
Cm7 - 2523

It seems generally quite laggy though so I just might jump back to MIUI. Not crazy laggy but enough to annoy me . BUT I'll go test out n64oid and see if it runs smoother on this. That might make it a winner for me

It might be unreliable, but not because of the textures. They are definitely not white here. In fact, there is no clipping on the little moon, compared to the official roms. Other than that, the results seems about the same.

720p 3gp video decoding is working!!
It is so nice

And the battery can also charge to >4200mV!!!
have been missing 4200mV for a long time
but the jumping is quite serious
will try to calibrate the battery to see if it will improve
Also the auto backlight seems changing so sudden, prefer graduate change

 

[Endless7]

Good job!

BTW,is there any working repo,beside a personal one?

 

[will5]

@endless, have you tried to boot your cm7 port with 2nd init and kernel from this build?

 

[Endless7]

@endless, have you tried to boot your cm7 por with 2nd init and kernel from this build?

Haven't. But I don't think it will boot.

 

[will5]

I think the same, but there arent so many differences in files.

 

[tezet]

I'll try to respond to all questions.

Regarding the 3D benchmarks. If the higher results in Endless's build on Quadrant are only a result of cheating, I won't do anything about it. It is pointless unless you are masturbating yourself with higher FPS ;-) It may possibly change if I switch to GB baseline (kernel and bpsw).

alexyie: But I need to know if this rom will work with asia baseband, or does this include the baseband changer?
You may simply install the baseband switcher from APK. I will update the first post.

harisit2005 How`s the still cam on this rom...i mean is there any quality difference on this...?
I don't really know, I don't use camera at all. It is probably as bad as the stock one

momus87: Tezet, do you think it would be possible to have orthographic correction with the hardware keyboard ?
In Settings>Language>Integrated Keyboard there are such options, but they don't have any effect. (They never had any, even on stock rom)
I'm sorry, that's a global CM issue, and as for now I'm focused only on providing fully functional Milestone port.

DreadPirateDan: It seems generally quite laggy though so I just might jump back to MIUI. Not crazy laggy but enough to annoy me . BUT I'll go test out n64oid and see if it runs smoother on this. That might make it a winner for me
You're probably reffering to laggy launcher. CM7 default ADW is indeed very laggy, I hate it if you ask me, but I won't change it. It is supossed to be a CM7 port. Just install your favourite one.

Sorry to say, but the battery charging and voltage measurement issues are enclosed in Moto's proprietary, closed source modules and there's nothing we can do about it. If that will make you happier, it's the same on the stock rom and that's why they have made a 10% steps.
As for backlight, you may customize it to your liking in settings. I don't really see anything bad in current settings... I would say it's good it adapts quickly.

Endless7: Good job!
BTW,is there any working repo,beside a personal one?
Thank you! I will move to an organisation repo, so that more people could be involved in this ROM.
