Cyanogen achieves a new Milestone. A Motorola Milestone

[Bateluer]

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...s-a-new-milestone-motorola-milestone-that-is/

Status: first public alpha release of CyanogenMod 6 port for Milestone (a nandroid backup for the start)
Update (17.9.2010): 0.01b fix for the reboot issue (or at least for one common cause of it) – humble return to the mot_boot_mode hijack (sh hijack discarded)

Please, report bugs and issues here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone

What is working: hopefully everything (GSM, WiFi, BlueTooth, GPS, camera & focus, video & audio recording & playback, native FroYo app2sd, Adobe flash)
Custom additions to CM6: several additional dictionaries for the keyboard

Main obstacles encountered: missing new 2.2 functions in the proprietary audio driver library libaudio taken from 2.1 system, solved by modifications to AudioFlinger.cpp (getInputFramesLost and getRenderPosition).

Known problems:
- intermittent chaotic touch screen responses when connected to USB (known also from the official Motorola firmware)
0.01b: (minor) missing sdcard unmount in mot_boot_mode, will be fixed in the next update

To do:
- prepare and release the source for custom building (=> installation via update.zip in the future)
- clean up the mess in init scripts
- invent some better init hijack
- make some non polling usb fix (for now it’s using the Dext3r’s script – thanks)
- etc.

Notes:
- the main init scripts are located in /system/etc/rootfs
- clocking options (frequency table, vsel table and governors) can be set in /system/etc/init.d/10overclock
- google apps are already included in this one, I will change that in the future releases
- do not use the included RomManager, it’s not compatible with Milestone
- Adobe Flash can be downloaded and installed directly from Adobe web
- included BPSW and boot are from the 2.36 RTEU release – radio will work on European frequencies

interesting. I tried Moto Frenzy a few weeks back. That seemed ok.

While this is CM6, the 2.2 port for the Milestone is still very basic. A-GPS as it is now for this CM6 port will crash the phone over and over again. I've seen devs working on the 2.2 port for months now and the 2.1 + Sense port, and honestly I'd never run either of them for 24/7 use. They're just not there yet.

Without custom kernel abilities, it really is a PITA to get something for the Milestone

BTW, more info is here:

There's a good amount of people troubleshooting it and stuff. There are other options if you do want a nice rock solid 2.1 build though. There's the Telus Lite & Fast Nandroid backup, and it's also working for EU frequencies too. I believe there's a few other guys that stripped down the Euro Milestone ROM too.
