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

Yeah... It's been like 1 month ald since sent for warranty repair... still no news on the repair progress....

sien dy... thought of changing phone...

Hey, pcphobic.

I'm a real noob here. I've bought a milestone (2nd hand), already with Cyanogenmod 7 RC3. I've read the first post and I've looked into chronosproject site, XDA and others. SBF, Nandroid, OpenRecovery and others. And I am still confused and don't know how to flash a custom rom.

Is there any tutorial, step-by-step, how to flash Chronos? What are the requirements? I really appreciate it if you could help me here as my milestone is random lag, FC and even reboots. Sakit hati woo...

ps: It was easier to flash when using Galaxy 5. Using only Odin.

What is the highest capacity and class memory card our MS can take? I think classes 8-10 must be overkill, right?

Does choice matter if not rooted?

higher classes mean faster access to the stuff is SD card. so no matter root or not still will get the faster speed benefits.

Not really ..enough with class 6...at the same time can tweak the SD cache..so no points to get higher class...more important for me is brand..hehe..I'm only using Class 2 Kingston 16g after tweak my transfer file rate vice versa pc is about 2mb to 5++ MB ...very2 helpfull when do transfer HD movie via USB...

So the MS can access all 16GB? Any noticeable speed difference running 8 or 16 GB? Big cards in cameras usually cause annoying transfer lag.

i heard of the tweaking SD card to achieve faster transfer rate but i thought it was only with the MIUI rom. do you have steps to tweak the SD cache?
my class 4 running annoyingly slow sometimes.

Ur ms hv init-d folder @/system/etc.?..

i do have init-d folder in system.

i follow the steps in this links: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047536

indeed it is faster now. 2048 yield the fastest with average of 8.6MB write and 21MB write. previously only 15MB read 6MB write.

Havin a great time with FroyoMOD v2.8.0. In my personal experience this is the fastest Froyo ROM out there for Milestone

For Eclair fans, get Telus 5.2, fastest Eclair ROM for Milestone

Both can run Samurai Vengence above without any issues (I feel the Eclair is faster.. hm but that's just me).

Moto Milestone is expandable up to 32GB micoSD.

which is the least buggy sbf?

the stock one (south east asia) is buggy n laggy!

will stock roms (froyo) for other region be smoother and faster?

i am looking to get a milestone 2 from ebay. can i know is there any difference on DROID 2? or they are just same unit?

can it be used in malaysia ?

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.

I don't have 99complete file in my init.d folder. So unsurprisingly after I paste your file into the folder and restart, the read_ahead_kb in 179:0 folder it still at 128 value. Maybe it only works with CM and Cronos ROM. I'm using stock ROM.

I'm now using SD-Booster to set the value and auto apply on boot. I set it at 768 value, although it give lower result on the benchmark, but it feel much faster, with 2048 I still can see short time of pictures in gallery haven't load but now can't see it. Guess this value is better for file size 2-5MB.

i purchase Motorola Droid 2 Global from ebay d. now waiting for it to arrived. Its using 1.2gb cpu ler
