So some people have been having problems with the newest 2.1 update for the Motorola Milestone, for some reason, the alarm doesn’t ring from time to time.

No worries, there’s a fix : )

The solution:
It’s the boot.img (kernel+init) from the Telus SHOLS_U2_03.10.0 firmware.
Kernel version: 2.6.29-omap1 rkg683@ca25rhe56 #1
Tested on SHOLS_U2_02.31.0 RTEU.

Read on to see how to fix it : )

So, i kind of had a slow Sunday, so i decided to enjoy the whole The Chronicles of Riddick franchise. It started with the movies (Pitch Black  -> Dark Fury and The Chronicles of Riddick). Then i remembered, that about a year ago, i got the game, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, what started at around 1400 hours on a sunday afternoon, ended 0100 on Monday. After i finished the game, i looked back under the extras menu and noticed that i had only found about half of the smokes that you can in the game. Read on, on how to unlock the extras and view some nice concept art for both the games and movies

Field for flying plane (It’s a field in the jungle perfect for the BM plane, meaning you can practice using it. This way it goes off the ground without exploding! Also, its right by a village, so you can extract there anytime) : X: 29963, Y: 17120

Yes i’m enjoying the game, alot. If you love open-world / sandbox games, and just want to vent from time to time, a must have game, even though it’s very short, i spent the first 16 hours just fucking around and then started doing the missions.

All i can say -> Ninjas are fracking awesome!

Oh And BOLOPatch / Trainer / Helper for Just Cause 2 full version (multi / strong rope fun):

Update: One major bug I’ve come across with both the Beta-DACH and Retail EU versions is, that when using the headset and you unplug it while calling someone, the music starts playing. On Motorola support forums other people say that it also happens on other occasions too, when disconnecting the headset. (more…)

Yet another open world game where you can destroy everything you want… The perfect game for a boring sunday…

First up, you can remove the Island limitation easily with your favorite hex editor ( If you don’t have one, get Hex Workshop ), just open the JustCause2.exe with it and

Goto 03F206D

Change 75 to EB

Oh and you can disable the time limit… Still haven’t found a way for it in the exe… but… Cheat Engine to the rescue

• Load up The Game, Play a little bit, Press F1 to open the PDA and remember the time
• Alt+Tab into windows and start cheat engine, Select the game from process list
• Choose ‘Unknown initial value’ from the ‘Scan type‘ drop-down list, ’4 Bytes’, and hit the ‘First Scan’ button.
• Go in-game again, un-pause and let some time go by.
• Open the PDA, and check how many seconds have gone by.
• Alt-tab back to CheatEngine and search for a new value, this time a ‘Value increased by…’ , and enter the the time in seconds that passed. Then Hit ‘Next Scan’.
• Repeat, until you find your culprit.
• Double Click the value to add it in the list below and freeze it.

Since the European version of DROiD doesn’t support an open boot-loader, the German users have decided to get creative. They’ve started an kind of awareness campaign. To inform people who are interested in android that the device that they are interested in, kind of goes against the Open Source Software idea

Open-source software (OSS) is computer software for which the source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright  holders are provided under a software license that meets the Open Source Definition or that is in the public domain.

So, Motorola Announced today at the MWC 2010, that the milestone is gonna be the first android 2.1 enabled device in spain. The ETA is mid-march 2010. Maybe this gives us hope regarding rest of the world. Since the droid’s update was pulled. Also, the things we know from Google’s N1, ergo Livewallpapers, new launcher, won’t be a part of the update, atleast for the Americans.

Barcelona, Mobile World Congress 2010, Feb. 15 2010 –– Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announced the launch of MILESTONE™ in Spain to become the first Android 2.1 phone in this market. MILESTONE will be available for all the Spanish consumers from mid-march.

• Interestingly, the home screen’s still got the same look as 2.0.1, meaning it doesn’t adopt the Nexus One’s rotating 3D grid of app icons — it’s still got the pull-up drawer tab at the bottom.
• No active wallpapers. Bummer

Via Engadget

The Good news is, you can easily download the New 2.1 launcher apk to get the stilish 3d app drawer and replace the default one of 2.0.1. It has worked without any problems on my 2.0.1 / rooted milestone. Also you get 5 home screens and the new preview tabs for all screens.

Step-By-Step

• Download the new Launcher.apk ( http://sipsik.net/foo/Launcher.apk )
• Save it to sdcard
• Use Root-Explorer to backup the old Launcher.apk from /system/app/Launcher.apk to e.g. /sdcard/backup/Launcher.apk
• Copy the new Launcher.apk to /system/app/Launcher.apk note -> Launcher with a big L not l
• Change the Premissions to 0644 (rw-r–r–)
• Restart phone and enjoy the new launcher with 5 home screens : )
