Hi all,
With CM7 i'm enjoying my Milestone like never before. But since it's my first custom ROM, i have some questions though.
1. When returning to the home screen, 9 out of 10 times it reloads and rebuilds completely. How can i avoid this?
2. If it's a memory issue and i want to keep it in memory, how can i accomplish this without the risk of losing other essential apps from memory, like SMS and phone?
3. I read something about priorities for apps, how does this work?
4. Sometimes my device reboots randomly. My CPU is set to 900. Can this be the cause? If so, what's the best CPU speed setting?
So far for now, but i guess i'll be back with some more ;-)
Thanks in advance,
Gerard

I'm no expert so someone please correct me if i'm wrong and sorry for all spelling errors.
What version of CM7 are you running? If u'r running RC3 0.08-11.03.16 that homescreen Redraw (problem number 1) should be minor, something like 1 out of 10 times, atleast on my milestone. There is "Keep home in memory" setting in Cyanogenmod settings -> Performance, make sure it's enabled and for the problem number 2 enable "Keep SMS in memory". You shouldn't care much about app priorities cause CM7 memory management is taking care of that pretty well. Random reboot are DSI errors, they are minor in the newest CM7 version but there is no failsafe way to avoid them, if you don't want to chance the kernel, you can read about that in CM7 for milestone thread.
Thanks, i just can't find the "keep SMS in memory" option?
Then you probably won't have the newest version of CM7. You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941346 and flash it just like u flashed it at the first time. Just wipe cache and dalvik cache from open recovery and you will get to keep all your personal settings and files/apps.
That's the one i have and i already found it. But thanks again!

A few answers of my own:
1) The CPU speed is probably NOT the cause of your reboots, but if you want to be sure, try it for a week. 700 is safer, 550 is default.
2) If it is your CPU overclocking, you may be able to fix it by upping the voltage on your overclock. This will lead to a bit more heat and a bit more battery drain, but should fix the reboots if CPU related
3) I would look at the SUPERCHARGE your Milestone thread about memory management settings. Although Zepps's settings and scripts are meant for tweakers and are probably a tad aggressive if you don't know what you are doing, they did speed up my phone by 200%.
I would recommend installing AutoMemoryManager and using the mild settings if you want to do something less aggressive than the Supercharge scripts...
You will get some of the benefits of the supercharge and a very low risk of apps getting killed by the memory manager.
My 2 cents!
thanks caz.
I'm pretty sure the new minfree settings that I've been testing out are the best of both worlds... superfast and background friendly.
I hadnt had a chance to update the thread yet and post the new script.
But for those interested, this should really work great... 6, 8, 24, 26, 28, 30.
Thanks all, i'll look into those things. By reading that is, because i've got a lot to learn!
Hi all,
I'm still experimenting and impressed by this ROM. Just now I performed a fix permissions to prevent apps from fc. That modified the read & write permissions of all apps. I assumed it couldn't hurt to try, but now I'm wondering what it did exactly. There aren't any noticable changes. Can anyone fill me in?
Thanks,
Gerard

I'm not sure what you mean, but this is my first custom ROM coming from stock Eclair on my first Android device.
So I have no idea which is the best, but I do know that I'm very impressed by CM7. It runs perfectly on my Milestone, so I feel no need whatsoever to try another.
Yup, for sure

Can you tell me if the camera & video work well?
My 2 bigs problem with froyomod are the camera that often FC and freeze and the video that are stuttering so much..
I can move to CM7 only if I'm sure that this stuff work well!

I can only speak for myself, but I haven't had one single problem so far. Shooting pictures and videos works fluently on my device. I am also not aware of any possible known problems, but maybe others can confirm this.
ADW Launcher in CM7 RC4.1
Started new thread for a specific question, but i can't delete this post.
Hi all,
I have a question while enjoying my Milestone to the max, thanks to CM7!
Since RC4 I have a problem with ADW Launcher after booting the device.
First it seems like there's a delay connecting to the SD card, because the icons of apps installed on SD don't show up on my homescreen. Instead a stock or native icon is visible.
Then the homescreen goes black for a few seconds and reloads completely. The icons of apps on SD still don't show, and my weather widget says it can't connect.
After a little while a message pops up, saying that "activity ADW Launcher in process android.process.acore doesn't respond". I can choose to close ADW Launcher or wait. In both cases all loads well after making one of those choises, it doesn't matter which one.
Since I suspected some kind of delay affecting the SD card and Internet connection, I expected this to be (partially) solved in RC4.1 according to this release note: "fix: kernel modules sometimes installed too late (sd-ext not mounted, overclock not applied)". But unfortunately in my case it isn't.
I already have tried disabling Sense previews and Wallpaper Hack in ADWLauncer settings, but that didn't help. Am I the only one with this problem or does it sound familiar? In that case, what can be done?
Thanks a lot,
Gerard

the problem of the launcher crashing is sumthin everyone faces .. n it does slow the phone down as well .. ask a techie if u can remove adw launcer and install another launcer cuz ther has to b a launcher faster than adw ..
Okay, but I can't imagine this behaviour occurring on every device at the moment?
on most devices u c this prob .. tht is wher stock rom is better and snappier ..
in rc4 sumtimes the power control widgets in the notification bar also disappear .. its werid ..

Not on supercharged phones. No launcher redraws. Ever.
Plus, gingerbread packed with apps feels as light and fast as stock froyo with nothing installed on it.
You should try it.

I sure will. In fact, I wanted to supercharge my Milestone since I read the topic, but I'm still struggling through the loads of information trying to figure out what I need and need not to do. Once I created a step-by-step instruction, I'm good to go.
Maybe you can help me to make me see the big picture. From what I understand, I need an app like AMM and one of your scripts. In the app I can modify the minfree settings. The script takes care of loading these settings on every boot. Is this correct? If so, can you please tell me which files I need for the first 2 steps? I don't need extra apps like GScript and Busybox so far, do I? Trying to start off simple...
Any additional instructions are welcome!

Yes all the steps are in the Gscript section.
You don't need AMM or AKMO but I use AMM just for diagnosing and poking around to see how everything is working.
All you gotta do is install busybox and gscript as per instructions in the Gscript section.
Hi all, and especially Zeppelinrox,
Since CM7 RC4 my launcher hardly ever gets NOT redrawn/reloaded. Very annoying. I've tried every setting and combinations of settings with no luck. So I've decided to step into the deep and give Superlaunch and Bulletproof a go. I'm still not sure if I understand the whole package though, so I'd like to verify whether or not I did the right thing.
I've just installed Gscript and in there I activated from script v5: balanced, status and the Bulletproof launcher. I unchecked the "keep launcher in memory" setting. Then I rebooted.
Now I'm gonna do some tests, but was this procedure correct and complete? And does this stick after a reboot? If not, how can I make it stick for both Superlaunch and Bulletproof? I assume I don't have to manually execute these scripts after rebooting every time?
I'll report my findings later today. Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Gerard

Yes it all sounds correct and the settings will persist after reboot.
However, by default the launcher is not bulletproof you can run that script separately if tou still get redraws.
V6 has Hard To Kill Launcher which is as strong as it can be without bulletproofing - much stronger than lock home in memory.
With V6, bulletproofing should not be necessary at all while allowing games to be played.
But it is still an option for those that don't play games.

Well, I can tell you this: it's awesome! I've been poking around for hours now, and never had a single redraw. My Milestone runs smoother than ever. Fan-tas-tic!
I just don't understand the AMM readings. It always shows it's own mild settings, but shouldn't it display the script values?
Thanks a lot!
Gerard
Which script did you apply?
AMM is stupid that way lol
Just be sure SuperUser give no permissions to AMM
AKMO will show the current minfree values when you run it though - just disable it's apply settings at boot option - or don't give superuser permission.
I applied Balanced3 from gscript-Custom_ROMS_SuperCharge+BulletProof_Pack_v5.zip (10.7 KB, 461 views)
In SuperUser permissions for AMM are denied.
So AMM doesn't read the current values at all and I'm OK? Guess I'll have to calculate the values myself from the show status script then, or is there an easier (preferable newbie) way to verify if all settings are correct?
Now we're at it, later today I'm gonna install the CM7 update. I know I'll have to recalibrate the battery after that, but do I have to run these scripts again too?
Thanks again!
Gerard
Ya I'd like to figure out a way to do the calculation with the script.
I haven't been able too get to far on that as of yet.
I mentioned in my prvious post - you can quickly check with AKMO - Autokiller Memory Optimizer - just disable the apply on boot option.
There is also Minfree Manager.
Yep, run the scripts again after flashing a rom
I just installed AKMO and it displays the scripts values flawlessly!
Don't know what AMM did, but apparently it kept on changing the values to very strange numbers after a reboot. I can't remember them, but the 3rd one was 256 (1). I'm sure it had no root permissions though. But now AMM is gone, all loads well after rebooting according to AKMO.
It makes all the difference in the world, I can tell you that. My Milestone runs like a complete new device. So smooth, fast and stable. I can recommend it to everyone!
I have just one more question. What script is best suitable for running big map apps, like Google Earth? It's lagging, freezing and closing with the standard minfree settings. The Balanced3 script makes it better, but can it improve even more?
Thanks again and again and...
Gerard
I dunno.
That's a big app
Maybe you can overclock it more LOL
btw... I DID IT... I got the script to convert pages to mb... woohoo
I'm already at 1000 Mhz, can't seem to get it running at 1100 or higher though, cause it keeps rebooting from the M logo. But maybe there's potential for a script handling "big apps" ;-)
Anyway, congrats on your progress with the scripts! I wonder why devs haven't implemented this in their ROM's yet.
Now it's time to move on to my next project: an ext-partition. I read so much about it. Still no idea about the advantages though, so I'll start by figuring that out first.
Thanks for all your help and good luck with your work!

Use that and only do the steps to create the ext2 partition. Then after that, reboot CM7 and you should have all of your apps on your ext2 partition, thus making your phone a bit faster(less internal memory used) and the potential for a TON of more apps installed on your phone, depending on the size of your ext2 partition.
Really! You just saved me a lot of reading, thanks!
So after I created the ext2 partition through my PC, rebooting the device handles moving my apps? No reinstalling, no manual uninstalling from internal memory? But how about apps without apps2sd option, will they be unaffected? Or does ext2 simulate internal memory, so all apps can be installed there? If so, will apps from the Market then automatically be installed on ext2, with or without apps2sd?
Sounds great!
Thanks in advance,
Gerard

All you should have to do is reboot and the reboot might take longer than usual as CM7 would be transferring all your apps to the ext2 partition. All apps that are installed afterwards are installed on your ext2 partition.

Is there any way/app to change the screen rotation delay?
Sometimes more delay would be nice, and on rare occations a shorter delay... ie, when my asswipe iphone fanboy friend of mine comments on how "slow" the phone are
I try to tell him its an delay that are set, and not lagg but deaf ears...
Anyone know ho to do this?
Anyone have any input?
I am 99 % sure you can't make the device delay the rotation
It only depends on the CPU speed and memory usage (RAM usage).
Only suggestion would be to make the phone lag which is always an horrible idea

First you want delay now you want it quicker???
Why do you need the delay and why do you need it to be quicker???
there probably will be a way to do it but to be honest no developer is going to sit down for hours trying to figure this out as there really is no need for it.

If You had read my first post You would see i asked for BOTH... what does it matter... sometimes like when I need a wider keyboard, i would like it to change quick... when in galery it would be nice... sometime it would be nice to have it as it is today or even a few ms slower.. say when your reading documents, playing games (when You move the phone alot and dont want it to change emediately..)
there are alot of reasons for this feature, just because You'r happy with the delay.. Hey!... some are even ok with the stock ROM... but i dont argue with them...
Anyone else that have any info?.. or atleast give me som pointers in the right direction.. maby i'll be able to figure it out myself... just does'nt know where to start....

Its possible....roman did it in the galaxy tab 10.1 pics aokp build with his from tools app..Not sure how
it is kind of possible (changing the screen rotation animation speed - making it look like instant rotate or slow screen rotate). Using Temaseks Kang with ICS transitions - you can go to "Spare Parts" app (downloadable via market in case you don't have it in your rom), scroll down to Transition animation and experiment. I'd guess it's not the solution you wanted, but close enough.
A smart App on the Market available for free : SmartRotator
You can choose which applications enables/disables the screen rotation
I use it since few days, it does it job.
(Don't remember if it needs root access or not, but I don't think so)

So, I'm using DjangoManouche 1.5b5. Kernel is Gueste's 1.3.3(?) OC version. I chose 20s and I'm just wondering what is the difference between that and 20q(I live in FIN if it matters). I chose better multitasking, Pdroid and FD. What are Pdroid and FD?
In anyway, icQ, Tapatalk and Dolphin browser HD aren't staying up. It's a little annoying because I cannot get pop-up messages in icQ and the browser must reload pages every time. It happens when I'm using any other app for a few minutes and trying to use the previously used one.
The problem came back with DM ROM and I had some kind of lightly customized CM ROM. I just would like to fix that problem if it could be possible. Sorry for postig that problem on that sectio but I have no rights to post in development section yet.
Pdroid is privacy framework, FD is fast dormacy. It looks like youre low on ram. I would suggest to use latest cm kang with etana kernel with 48 ramhack.

no offense to anyone or any ROM, if it is the free RAM which is the cause, I would suggest that your stock ROM based choice is more than good...I am on DJ1.5B5 and I have a minimum of 140Mb always and have no issues....
so, investigate using different options mate....I can guarantee this ROM ....and its performance
I don't want to change to different rom. That rom has a lot pf options and there must be a way to make it work. I have Lg's launcher, which can take too much RAM. I should change that to Adw launcher. Well, do you have any recommendations what I should change?

I assume you have installed with an option to have a lot of free RAM. Whaddayouknow, to have a lot of free RAM the system will kill background apps.
Reinstall DM with stock OOM values, or if you know how, change them back to stock values.

Hey guys, a lot of you have problems with Battery Life right ? One Problem is, that your phone cant go into deep sleep right ? Its because of some bloatwares

You can freeze it during Titanium Backup or Link2sd (both free on Google Play)

For your information, that version in Play Store doesnt work with Jellybean...As the last time it was updated is mid 2012...Now mid 2013...
I'll post the command to get it running later on...
Anyway you could obtain the same effect using ds battery saver, this block the connection request from the phone and starts it only when you decide it
It saves a lot of battery.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.batrsaverpro
I guess an app of this should be included in the phone since the O4X is programmed to drain a lot of battery if you don't stop connection attempts.
