if launcherpro is your dissatisfaction of CM6 then better dun use this new sbf. Now is even worse, almost everytime i open an app and close back, have to wait around 30 seconds for the launcherpro to load.. doh.gif
You can try the latest CM6 see is it better or not coz if change to this sbf have to wipe data. In the OR got option to "fix permission to prevent app force close", this together with launcherpro setting to prevent force close might help, but i never tried it lar.

I have uninstall launcherpro and just use android default homescreen, this one didnt have the loading issue.

Thanks for the warning, guess no point changing then

Just updated to the latest CM, hopefully the problem will be less

Personally, I'm not excited at all that we are going to get official Froyo soon, it's been sooo long that the significance is lost, largely due to the availability of custom 2.2 ROMs. I want 2.3 now! tongue.gif

Happy CNY peeps!!

There's been a development in Gingerbread for Milestone, the radio is now working! U can try early builds from here:

Shadow mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939555

CM7
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4miles.../downloads/list

As usual expect a few bugs since there are lots of work left to be done.
We are getting 2.3 ROMs even b4 the official 2.2 is out biggrin.gif All hail to the awesome modding community

Is there a buried HW radio in the MS? Apps radios are already working fine in 2.1

I'm using CM7, radio & data works. Haven't tried ShadowMod

it will be very hard to brick your phone. just follow step by step and u will be fine.

anyway, any of you guys tried gingerbread yet? hows the perfomance?

Just flashed CM7 last nite. Everything is working fine so far biggrin.gif It's really fast, loving the screen on & off animations. Gimme a few days to test the battery life.

not yet i just transfer the updata.zip and recovery folder to my sdcard from the ADBRecovery. i follow the guide from unlockr.com the website said hold camera button and power button but the ! didn't come out. so come here to ask for help. lol am i doing it right? hmm.gif
*
The procedures & files in Unlockr are obselete. Please use the method & latest recovery provided by xxboxx
Getting to the "!" screen depends on wat bootloader ur phone have actually, different bootloader, different buttons to press

Screw Moto, XDA developers FTW!

Good thing that guy is just a hoax smile.gif

Anyway, it's very unlikely that Moto will abandon the 2.2 update. The recent leaks are almost fully complete with awesome battery life etc. Why would they abandon it at this stage?

what software you use for backup sms?

haha, my records in Jewels and Second001 will be wasted if wipe data..
*
I use SMS Backup & Restore app.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.r...MSBackupRestore
It's works perfectly for me, it restores all ur sms n thread accordingly smile.gif Don't try SMS BACKUP n2manager as it screws up the threads

U guys should try Titanium backup for restoring game data, or for any other app for that matter (fyi, for sms it only backup settings, not the smses). I use Titanium for this when wiping data/doing fresh install of ROM and it does its job well. Game highscores, progress, settings etc. all get restored

Moto Atrix? Sammy Galaxy S2? LG Optimus 3D?

For me it's a tough choice between the Atrix & S2

make sure to back up all data, coz this update will erase everything


Added on March 16, 2011, 10:51 am-Motorola is committed to continually meet and exceed our consumers' expectations. Due to the extremely high number of requests for the Android 2.2. (FROYO) software upgrade, we are making the upgrade package available to consumers who wish to voluntarily upgrade their own devices via MSU.

Maybe this update isnt final.Maybe it is aimed at all impatient because the final will probably be delayed again.Who knows...

disappointing from Moto with the buggy kernel.and after all these while still at 2.2.1 doh.gif

Upgraded to Atrix but still have my Milestone with me at the moment. Good backup phone for the ultra problematic Atrix

Been trying all the Gingerbread ROMS, all of them seem to be laggy for me. End up sticking with CM6
