CyanogenMod 9 for Milestone A853

19 January, 2012 - 02:57 — nadlabak

Alpha preview, not intended for daily use!

xda thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445209

Missing hw features (don't expect a fix any time soon):
1. Camera
2. accelerated video decoding using TI DSP

Because of limited space in system, gapps are installed to /data/vendor. But if ext partition is present on sdcard, they are moved to /sd-ext.
Therefore ext partition is highly recommended for CM9, otherwise the space for apps in /data will be too limited.
You can find instructions on how to resize fat and create ext3 partition directly in OpenRecovery in this very fine guide by pontomedon:
Full guide from stock Motorola Android to CyanogenMod 7 for Milestone

14.01.2012:
notes:
- until the open source solution will be ready, Google builds of Calendar and CalendarProvider are installed via gapps to provide Google Calendar sync. Google build of LatinIME is included to provide access to downloadable dictionaries.
- most of the gapps are installed to /data/vendor. if you are updating from earlier CM9 build, use "rm -r /system/*" in recovery console before installation to make sure you don't run out of space in /system because of previously installed gapps
- bootanimation is disabled (debug.sf.nobootanimation=1 in build.prop), because the default bootanim takes more than 80MB of RAM while running, which may cause issues - from very long boot time to bootloops.

very nice

I installed it no problem. Then Iinstalled the gapps and then changed baseband to telus. After it was done I used open recovery to root phone
And to reboot. I have noticed with our devices to get some what stable roms you need to reboot about 4 times before all starts working again.
I am happy with it . Sending and receiving calls and sms mms and emails works amaying. The browser is good. I noticed its a good idea
To not have live wallpapers on to conserve cpu. The cpu sometimes gets hot and the back of the phone is too hot to touch. But good job on the rom. Been using it for a few days now.

Does not boot

Hi, I have found that my Milestone does not boot after flashing the ICS ROM. It stays stuck on the Motorola flash screen until the battery is drained, at which point it dies. Has anyone had this problem/is there a way to get around this?

Really nice job

ICS is running really good on the milestone. Missing the CM features and the camera, but ICS is so great that I´m using it as my default os.

The only real problem is with the ext partition, using it turns the system too slow.

Sluggish response, run out of internal storage

Hi nice pices of job in putting all things in one place.
I did upgraded my Milestone to CM9, found very sluggish. It ran out of space for internal memory. Though i have applications installed on SDCard.
I did doengraded to CM7.1.5

Like to know how others feel on performance, might be some trick to improve performance.

wrongly mapped Keys

I am using the latest ROM (106 MB) and i have noticed that the Y key and the Z key have changed places.??? Secondly is ther a way to map the back key onto any key combination on the key board. Actually my touch screen is not working and i am just using the keyboard for all functions.

Download link not working

Hi,
It seems the CM9 file is not downloadable. Can you please post another alternate download link?

Thanks! :)

27 January, 2012 - 09:54 — Anonymous

Download works

The alternate download sites work. The ROM is a fine piece of work! Planning to use it for next couple of days. Dont use camera as such, so no issues.
The milestone is saved, thanks to you!

Market issues

I'm having some issues on Market when I try to install or just update an app being it system or user installed app in like 70% of the apps it returns an error saying that there's not enough space available for installing it. I've checked and I have more than 3x the space needed for the apps to be installed. Does anyone have that problem too?

Besides that, that's the most awesome rom i've ever ran on my Milestone and I've been running it like stable for more than a week right now.
Thanks for your amazing work.

i had that problem too, when i looked up how much space the apps consumed (settings-apps) it refreshed the status and i could install stuff again.

I've used "14.1.2012" over

I've used "14.1.2012" over the past four days, very well done! When I returned to CM7 today I felt how fast that ripe version of android 2.3.* really is and that you keept working on it. Even backporting CM9 code. So thanks for your effort on all fields, I am looking forward to seeing you optimize that new codebase.

Thanks!

Thank you man! you did a good job! ICS can finally running on my MS though there are some bugs to be fixed.

Would you please tell me how to removed the factory Japanese IME in my phone. I don't need it and I don't know which akp should be deleted.

Thank you again!

Excellent!

Thanks Kabaldan, I didn't have much hope but have to say I'm really impressed. Performance is on par or maybe even better than with cm7. Even with some heavy widgets (3xbeautiful widgets, 2xandroid pro widgets), gvoice and imo in memory I still have 40megs avail.
I'm using nova launcher from xda, a big improvement over trebuchet, suggest you all guys try it.
For those scared to try this, go for it, it's worth it.

Once more, thanks man, if it wasn't for you I'd have bailed on my stone a long time ago.

23 January, 2012 - 18:19 — Anonymous

I agree :)

If you're right on Nova launcher is very fluid, stable and customizable stock! I really like. expect the ROM continues to evolve as it really is very stable in our milestone :)
I hope that with the corrections of some errors, cleaning etc. can free up some more RAM :)

Thank you very much Nadlabak is a exellent job!

Excellent using nova launcher!!!

Yes! indeed, with a difference is detected nova acceptable and fluidity ... It proves to nova

terminal expected to work?

hi, thanx for all the effort to keep the milestone on the bleeding edge!

I just (2012-01-21) repo sync'ed and built. It was the first build using `vendor/cm/get-prebuilts' - before I did resolve the dependency to libjackpal-androidterm3.so manually.
But still the terminal won't start (which is not an issue in general, as adb works very well).
An exception is thrown: ...lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at jackpal.androidterm.session.TermSession.
Anyway thought to report that - if this is a general issue, you may list it in the 'what's not working section'.

bye, pottendo
