Can we flash over build 124 considering all the problems...has any one tried
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Som3guy:
Hey guys,

what can you tell about the AIO wipe tool before flashing a new Andromadus Test build? Does it improve anything or is factory reset/cache/dalvik enough usually?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pauldacheez:
Flashing and booting that, then rebooting and restoring from a nandroid of 124 finally fixed my rotation woes. Woo!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dryize:
Heating When Head Phone Plugged in

It's fixed..

Confirming that heating and battery drain during music play back with head phones plugged in is not there anymore.. :fingers-crossed ::D

Thanx alot flinny, I had switched to mimiCry coz of this..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arpitnathany:
Considering that flinny just switched from the test branch back to the normal branch, thats to be expected. i am more interested to know what differences if any are there between the test branch and the normal one. what are we giving up in terms of performance by switching back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tep065:
Switching back to the normal branch contributes to global warming, an increase in the stink bug population and prolific casual drug use among the elderly :/ bad flinny!!!! :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arpitnathany:
and here i was thinking that it caused thermonuclear war :laugh:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] natabbotts:
Yeah, flinny I'd love that as well, I'm happy to test the less stable kernel, and the battery drain problem doesn't affect me as I don't use my phone for listening to music. If you want feedback on it let me know :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revanmj:
Same here :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darkspadez:
Nope that is when flinny uses my branches lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nevyntanis:
Me too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Alright. I did a factory reset. Still have the auto rotate issues. So factory reset again, and installed CM7.2 and now I'm going to format everything again and install Build 125 again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bapf:
Flashing 125 (over 124) fixed auto-rotate for me.

No Factory reset, just formatted /system prior to flashing and wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache after flashing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
I'll do some test kernels of the test branch once I get a chance to look at it a bit more.. You'll probably see 3-4 kernels at once see if we can't track down this hot battery thing that way..

Tonight is party night though so nothing is happening :)

Nick.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Right. I've tried a lot of things. Formatting everything, installing various builds and stuff, and auto rotation still doesn't work. Can anyone suggest something that would make it work? Since I've already factory reset so many times, it hardly matters.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Matze5800:
Did you try installing a sense rom?

Gesendet von meinem HTC Vision mit Tapatalk 2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pauldacheez:
Flash a Sense ROM (Virtuous Infinity worked for me), boot it, then wipe and reflash this (or restore it from a Nandroid backup).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
But those Sense ROMs are huge. Anyway, I'm supposed to find them over at rootz right?

==

Found them. I'm not downloading a 454MB ROM.. I have FUP limits for my internet which aren't very generous.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aktivehate:
Flashed build 125 on the DZ of a friend of mine, just to look how it runs. After some playing with the rom, i updated my own DZ from CM9 to CM10! Running very nice now, no issue's with sensors or anything. Going to test what will happen with some music playing on the headphone!

Thanks Flinny for the awesome build!

What recovery are you running? 4EXT I suppose?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Yeah, using 4EXT.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
ROM is pretty smooth. Slows up sometimes. A lot of times on the lock screen there is a 5 second delay from the time I press unlock to the time the launcher shows.

4.2 GMail works nice.

4.2 keyboard works nice.

4.2 camera/gallery are slow at first but work good now. Unfortunately there is a thin pink line on the left of every picture taken with it. Sometimes the line is green.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] istmar:
I don't understand, what's going on with test branch and normal?? Does that mean this ROM won't get to BETA? Don't know much about this stuff i just like this rom and would like to be good enough for daily use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] natabbotts:
branch refers to the branch of the github source flinny is building from. It doesn't affect getting to beta. It just means flinny is either using an experimental kernel or a safe kernel when he creates the test build zips. It won't affect you any more than releasing a new update will, so don't panic :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] istmar:
Pheww!. Feeling better now!! :D now we just gotta wait for the little problem with the headphones to be fixed then :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tendou:
Took over my partner's DZ and gave her my S2.

So I've flashed to this ROM, I do believe the curlpit of slow performance is the lack of RAM, I have turned zRAM on, how do I find out if it is indeed working? Or is it disabled in the background.

Overclocked to 1804Mhz, tweaked interactive to ramp up pretty hard, it stays on 1804Mhz @ 100% a lot of times and it's still loading, I guess this little phone is about had it. It just won't cut it anymore
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pauldacheez:
Before you make any final judgement on the poor old phone's performance, try disabling zRAM. I believe earlier Flinny said it only serves to make things worse. (Besides, not every switch is a "make everything better" switch, don't you think?) The CPU being stuck at 1804 could either be caused by overzealous zRAM compression or your tweaks to the governor being too aggressive.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nevyntanis:
Jeez, this statement gets made a lot. If you have free ram then its free, its not doing anything. I average around 60mb free ram. Performance is mainly down to cpu, graphics card and software, cm10 wasn't made for vision, hence driver and software issues. that's why flinny has to test it and tweak it. I think you may have botched something if your cpu is maxing out constantly

Zram is known to cause all sorts of trouble, look around xda and you will see.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tendou:
I will try to disable zRAM and see how it flares now.

I have indeed tuned the governor to be quite agressive, as I can do with less battery life and get more performance out of the phone.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] akafaze:
How do you turn off the off-screen animation? I can't find the option anywhere.

Here are Quadrant and Antutu scores on:

My Desire Z running Mimicry-1.5.0

My G2 (my ROM testing phone...)

running beta 125

running Mimicry-1.5.0 (I restored a backup made on the Dezire Z so exact same configuration)

On both I have the same user apps installed an I have:

Processor: governor, ONDEMAND, MAX CPU 1200 Mhz

Memory management: Allow purging of assets: YES

Kernel samepage merging: YES

Devel options:

Allow mock locations:YES

Force GPU for 2D: YES

Disable HW overlays: YES (Just on beta125)

And I'm seeing scores 2 times lower on beta125 than on mimicry-1.5.0 (G2 AND Desire Z behave the same on Mimicry-1.5.0) on quandrant... Yet using the phones I don't get that impression...

In Antutu the scores are more homogeneous.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arpitnathany:
Looks like we've got ourselves our own little benchmark fiasco (cue nexus 4). :laugh:

I have seen this too, quadrant scores in mimcry hover around the 1800-2000 mark while those on andromadus jb are around the 1000 mark but most of that is due to the drastically reduced io score in andromadus jb. imo quadrant is too unreliable, case in point while the score of andromadus jb is a lot lower actual perceived performance is better than on ics roms.

also antutu would be a more reliable benchmark to test than quadrant.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
Isn't the low i/o on JB fixed now? It's benching higher in Antutu.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arpitnathany:
yes it is but its still not up to the mark of ics i think. the screenshots of quadrant posted also illustrate this, the green bar which represents io is a lot smaller in jb.

again quadrant is very unreliable and i have not used antutu in mimicry so i cannot be sure if its only a quadrant thing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pantherx12:
In my testing it only saves ram when you first switch it on, after about a day of use my ram will be the same with z-ram on or off.

( After ending all apps with go launchers built in task manager I have about 215mb of ram used up, on a side note Go Launcher works fantastically with this rom, the transitions are awesomely smooth and quick)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johrie:
Is it possible to reduce the time for the long press back button?

It takes about a second to kill the app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shady503403:
Anyone else get this issue? Keyboard gets smaller.. kinda weird. Happens randomly. Hittin caps with make the keys normal sized.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revanmj:
Yep, I got it few times in FB Messenger today. Never had this issue again (build 124, installed almost immidiately after it went online).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shady503403:
Sweet. Just makin sure its not me.. its has happened on multiple builds with me..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LordXeth:
Hi Flinny, what this Build Darkvision Form 4.11.2012?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nevyntanis:
Yeah me too, doesn't happen often, strangely I prefer the smaller one, lol.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shady503403:
Ha ya Its at too small for me. And every time it pops up itll change from big to small while trying to type. it'll nothing making the phone unusable, just something I noticed :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
Strangely I had this once as well but I had the 4.2 keyboard installed for testing at the time so just put it down to that:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Abolfazl:
I installed 4.2 GAPPS and Build 125. For some reason ADB does not work anymore but USB Storage does. Any way to fix this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revanmj:
But I haven't installed anything from Android 4.2, so I think it's not that. Unless it was baked into the ROM :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shady503403:
I can confirm this happens without anything 4.2 installed
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johrie:
I had this problem with the small keyboard. I posted it around the time of build 103 I think. Never seen it again after that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zelych:
Today I came across an interesting problem. I wanted to send to send photos directly from a camera via Gmail but as it turned out to not send messages, and were only saved as a draft, without any beneficiary and the text that I wrote! Moreover, the phone began quite warm. I tried to restart but somehow it did not help. During the hours around me has lost over 40% of the battery! I do not know if it had the effect that I did not have 3G, but only EDGE. Otherwise the previous two days were fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sharptv:
somehow i feel that JB still doesn't feel as smooth as the old ICS beta 5.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kierren:
I have the same issues with this build. 3G does not work 95% of the time, but edge is perfectly fine. My battery is draining 3 times as fast compared to previous builds. I only wiped cache and dalvik coming from 124, which could easily be the problem though. Will report on a clean install later.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
The battery reports are inaccurate. When charging it gets stuck at 85%. Then it displays 100% after reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pantherx12:
Regarding the small keyboard issue, seems it must only happen on the stock keyboard as I've used swiftkey 3 on all the builds I've tried and not had that issue at all.

And I use my phone constantly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nevyntanis:
I find the battery consumption on 125 way better than the last few builds. Haven't had the charge to 80% problem, only get that when I swop batteries and yes a reboot sorts that out.

125 is by far your best release. Flinny:)

No problems so far and I've been testing every single bit:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] franner:
I have a problem, when I want to use numbers on my keyboard it won't regester them and doesn't work as if the FN button is disabled.

I have a scandinivian keyboard. Like in chrome and other programs, the hardware keyboard works to the most part but not the FN + number.

Has anyone found a work around for the voice dialer not working when on bluetooth?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohgood:
****ing hell this is great !!! Thank youuuuuuuuu !!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MIkeRD03:
125 is running fine. Since some builds I have a certain problem with an email app called profimail. When using the hardware keyboard writing text and sending the phone into sleep - after wakeup the keyboad do not respond to letters anymore. But the menu button is still functioning and after going into menu and back to text the hardware keyboard comes back to live.

Dunno if this is an app failure or a bug. Other apps are fine with sleep. Just wanted to mention it.

Flashed it and it looks the same. but this build was made by Darkspadez.

I smell beta ;D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] natabbotts:
which dark vision should we be using?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
I have no idea what dark has changed in his builds or is actually doing uploading vision builds, he said he was going to start doing ace (Desire HD) builds. I release a new build when enough has changed to warrant you downloading and installing a new version. There will most likely be a new build today after I've synced all the stuff CM just committed and hopefully fixed a few more issues.

Nick.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
I had a question. That app launch lagfix that was there in CM9 that you implemented a couple of builds ago, was that related to the kernel? Or is it still there in the latest build? Cuz my apps take a while to start now. And I had hard reset a few days ago hoping to fix the rotation issue and restored with Titanium backup.

Also, my whatsapp takes ages to load now, even from a direct contact shortcut. Which was never the case. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
The patch is to framework not kernel so it's still there. Not noticed any difference myself. Working on a few things, hopefully a new build later.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Well I just disabled location reporting on maps and all. Was going through the running services and all. Hopefully my phone doesn't slow down as much. More than a few times it dropped to 30 odd MB and it's never dropped below 60 on JB, and below 80 on Mimicry ( down to the memory settings I guess )
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rnnickerson:
Anyone getting the green/slash pink bars on the camera since build 124? Or a tripped out flashing green screen with the panorama?

Hey flinny your awesome! Just thought you should know!

Anyone else having the past 2 gapps gmail fail to sync repeatedly unless manually synced?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] btrst:

just use lgcamera from market. it is far better then stock android camera app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leelagbch:
Has anyone else been having trouble with the touchscreen being unresponsive or registering ghost touches? When it happens, I can get it back for a bit by locking the phone with the power button and the unlocking again. This just started with build 120. Wiped and formatted everything (davlik, cache, system) except the SD card and reverted to an older build but the problem persists.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rnnickerson:
Thanks I'll try that!

Anyone having gmail not sync automatically anymore? I have uninstalled and reinstalled gapps 3times and used the previous version to this one. Still can't make it happen unless manually pressing sync on 124...waiting for 126 to update
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amp:
Awesome

I'd like to thank flinny and team for this build. Have been a G2 user since launch, and I have to tell ya what a great phone it has been. Right now I'm on 123 and there has been slight lag in certain menus but nonetheless, amazing and great. I'd also like to thank the admin who made my nick request, thanks mate(s). :D

Check out the G2 AIO Tool linked in my signature for wiping the phone. It helped me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cracksmurf:
This sound exactly like the symptoms I am experiencing. However, I have pinned the issue to my digitizer going bad or the cable that connects it. Try going into developer options and enabling "pointer location". Swipe around the screen looking for dead zones. Usually when you hit one, the touch point will hit multiple sides at the same time as if you were touching two locations. Also, sometimes that point will get stuck on until you turn off screen. Happens with me all the time. I've got a dead strip across the mid of my screen. Hopefully it's not the same issue you are facing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leelagbch:
Actually, in my case at least, I suspect it boils down to the leaked JB onscreen keyboard. I removed it, reflashed and it seem to have gone away for the moment. I will let you know however if it returns.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Evullish:
Go to accounts in system settings, open Google, then Gmail and check the box of synchronise.

New build delayed until tomorrow (just so your not waiting about...), few issues I still want to look at and saga's front camera has taken too much of my time today...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leelagbch:
Well I thought my touchscreen problems had gone away but the problem still persists. I have hope that the problem isn't hardware but rather something that will go away with future updates.

I have a small problem with the default software keyboard. In some applications, writes upper case even if the caps lock is not active. It is necessary then 2x click on shift so he could write in lowercase.

EDIT: Do I remembered the problem with Opera mini. After starting with a white stripe down will do, as if in it should be buttons that have a Nexus.

Cannot use Voice Dial with Bluetooth headset

Please forgive me if this has already been addressed. (I tried to find past links, maybe I didn't go back far enough) Finny, your ROM is incredible but I can't use Voice Dialer with a bluetooth device. (it works fine without BT) When Voice Dialing with a BT Headset, the Voice Dialer popup says "Starting up" but will not progress to "listening..." UNLESS you hit the up volume button, which will progress to "listening..." after a few seconds and you can then voice dial. I tried wiping Dalvik Cache, Battery Stats, cache partition and did wipe data/factory rerset - did not work. I tried a different gapps but no difference. (gapps-jb-4.1.2-485486-signed.zip from XDA) I also noticed that voice will not transmit to my BT when I am listening to music. (I use PowerAmp Pro) I wonder if this is related? (FYI, my radio is U_26.13.04.19_M) Thank you for your consideration.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] maxpower_303:
also had this sometimes with Flinny's but also had this with other roms few times...but not so often that it is rly annoying.

After a restart all went back to normal. At least in my case. But this really happened rarley, maybe a phone problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johrie:
If you think it is a phone problem you should try flashing a stable build like cm7 to see if it happens also.

Never had this problem btw.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zelych:
Sometimes I have the same problem. Most of the time will help clean the display. Cannons me but only when charging.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leelagbch:
Well my touchscreen problems are gone. I reverted to a CM7 backup from before I used Flinny's test build and that fixed the problem.

Please stop telling me to clean my screen. That's NOT the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darkspadez:
The darkvision roms are made by me as I need some place to upload to for me to dl please don't dl them. Well u can but it is same as flinny's I just try to do one every night for myself.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leelagbch:
Well that was short lived. My touch troubles are back after about an hour of use. I don't want to believe its hardware....

My screen is not dirty at all. I had zero problems before build 120. After I upgraded from 119, I started having touch problems.

Anyone have any sugestions? I have wiped davlik, cache and system as well as efs before trying flinny's 119 and CM7. But with each one the problem returns. I can regain control of the touch screen after locking the phone with the pwer button and then unlocking. This is starting to drive me batty.

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

The thing that gets me is that this problem is *much* less prevelant or anoying on the CM7 rom. I am not convinced its hardware. I have used the developer option to show the touchpoints and when the problem starts its usually on the status bar regardless of the orientation. Whichever side is "up" the notification bar gets locked up an freezes.
