Added on April 26, 2011, 10:34 amNo worries bro. I am just sharing my experience after spending most of my time over at XDA Developers forum.



All NEWBIES should head over to XDA developers forum.
All the experts are there plus a wealth of info are there.

To start your journey on the custom ROM route, u need to break free (jailbreak) your locked Milestone by following this guide.

Note: Recommended to use either RETAIL EUROPE (RTEU) or UK RETAIL (RTUK)




I am currently switching back and forth between the following 2 forums:

Added on June 9, 2011, 12:45 amIt is Android 2.3.4 now with Cronos Ginger ver.1.4



You can install Talk ver.1.3 that enables u to make voice and video calls to friends on PC who are using Gmail chat (via Gmail) or friends who have an Android phone with front facing camera running on Android 2.3.3 and above.

I have been making voice calls using Talk to friends overseas. Saved me on expensive IDD charges.

You also get better battery life on Gingerbread.

No random reboots so far since I flashed Cronos ver.1.4 on 30th of May.

Cronos Ginger ver.1.4 - Overnight Battery Drain Test

I always perform the same benchmark test with any new ROM that I flash to gauge for myself how much battery it drains on idle/standby.

Condition:

Data Connection: 2G only
Google Contacts Sync: On
Google Calendar Sync: On
Gmail Sync: On
Talk: On

Result:
It lost only 10% after 8 hours of idle.






I have also tweaked it with Autokiller Memory Optimizer with the following settings:
Hidden app: 24
Content provider: 28
Empty app: 30

First of all go do your research (google is your friend) on the following terms (it took me a few days to learn):

- Recovery mode
- Recovery menu
- Open Recovery menu aka Custom Open Recovery menu
- Androidiani Open Recovery
- Bootloader mode
- Bootloader menu
- Nandroid backup

Then u need to use the G.O.T method to "break free" or trick the phone to accept unsigned Open Recovery menu.

Please refer to this posting for further details on using the G.O.T method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811221

I am seldom here. All the experts are in XDA forum and Cronosproject.org

Added on June 26, 2011, 4:29 amDROID is for USA only. So may not work outside of USA.

Milestone is the European or Global version of the DROID which works all over the world except USA and some parts of North and South America.

Ice and Fire ROM ver.3



So happened I was busy the whole of yesterday. Only managed to use it for a while to check Facebook and Google+ notifications and postings.

My phone was on 2G by default. Used wi-fi for a little while. Also used Google Maps and GPS for a short time (on 3G).

Added on August 28, 2011, 3:34 pmGo search for Cut The Rope Lite. There is a smaller file Cut the Rope apk for Milestone.

Take note that these days, some games are for phones using Tegra 2 CPU. So do not feel bad if some games cannot play on our Milestone.

Also some games really need alot of RAM, and as you know our Milestone 256ram is not enuff. So save money and get the Nexus PRIME aka Nexus 3.

DSI error is when your phone freezes up.

My Overnight Battery Drain Test on CyanogenMod 7.1

Data Connection
Mobile Data: 2G only
Wi-Fi: Off
Bluetooth: Off
GPS: Off

Data Sync
Facebook: Off
Gmail: On
GTalk: On
Google+: On
Google Contacts: On

After 6 hours 33 minutes of idle, it only drained 4%. That is very good.

How to reinstall Gmail, Youtube, Google Maps and Voice Search if you keep getting forced closed on them after flashing a new custom ROM

1) Revert to old market app http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10439360/Market_2.3.6.apk
2) Install MarketEnabler http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10439360/marketenabler-v3.1.1.2.apk
3) Launch MarketEnabler and select one of the USA telco in the list and long press on it and select it to spoof your phone
4) Then Launch the old Android Market App and do a search for "Google Inc"
5) You should then see apps like Gmail, Youtube, Voice Search and Google Maps. These apps are hidden from Android phones outside of USA.

As for Google Maps. I use a hacked version called OnWhere Google Maps where it has the Voice Turn by Turn Navigation.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007132

I am currently using an older version of OnWhere because the newer version drains battery for some unknown reason.

Added on November 3, 2011, 1:53 amInstead of waiting for the real Ice Cream Sandwich, I have decided to theme my CyanogenMod 7.1 ROM with the Ice Cream Sandwich theme

Ice Cream Sandwich Theme on CM7


See this article - http://www.androidcentral.com/android-them...dwich-cm7-theme

I have also change the icon packs for my LauncherPro to get that Ice Cream Sandwich look.



See this article - http://www.droid-life.com/2011/10/17/tip-m...cream-sandwich/

I also found an article on how to get that Ice Cream Sandwich inspired lockscreen.
