Has anyone else had an issue where the "link mute states" option under settings>sound doesn't appear to work? For instance if I hold down the power button and put the phone on silent or vibrate, this only affects call volume; it does not affect any other volumes like it's supposed to. Prior to build 68 or somewhere around that it worked like it's supposed to.

I've only recently begun to use my phone as my MP3 player (sold my old Zen to make some extra cash since I've got this thing), and I do notice that it randomly screeches while using Google Play Music. I'm trying PowerAmp for a while to see if it's an app problem with Play Music or not, but I'm not sure if this is the same issue you have.

I think once TMO gets an actual ICS phone out we might have a fix?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
75 has more CPU frequencies for the mad overclockers among you. Don't blame me if you fry your phone running at stupid OC's :)

It also has a load of qcom display patches and whatever else CM threw in in the mean time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
I've not had the problem with the audio distorting tbh and I listen to music whilst driving all of the time, I use the music player that ships with the rom, if your problem is with something else then I can't help you :)

It's possible the wifi calling problem can be fixed when TMO release an ICS phone, it really depends how tightly it's integrated into their build I would have thought.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
Can anyone confirm the speakerphone issue still exists? I just did a few test calls and whilst when I first opened the speakerphone up the mic was muted (which I can see the point of tbh) It did show it was muted and unmuted when I pressed it.

If the issue is still there can somebody give me exact instructions to reproduce the problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dragon-son:
Last I read it has the USB OTG support, but no one had a powered USB OTG device to test with, if I remember correctly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
After this post I decided to check this.

Well, shortly: it doesn't work.

I've used USB OTG cable (made for Galaxy S2, IIRC) and an external-powered USB hard drive. Just no reaction from phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dragon-son:
Get Flinny a dmesg then so he can look into it for everyone. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tmender:
128 is great, either I did something right or Flinny did, no where near as many freeze ups or FC's. I did notice last night that my battery is buldged slightly (enough to make the back cover not fit properly). Good thing my Nexus 4 is on a UPS truck! Keep up the good work Flinny!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bapf:
Yep, 128 feels definitely faster than 127.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnyeah:
Quick question for people who have been keeping up with the builds:

Do you have occasional slow downs with this ROM (phone starts lagging)? Specifically, after using the one of the following built-in browser, Google Voice, Yelp, or even Maps.

I'm asking this because before I run any apps, my phone feels smooth, but after I start one of these apps and hit return, I would feel intermittent pauses when I hit on the call button, text button, or contacts button (it would take the phone app a few seconds to load). Also, Google Voice always takes at least 3 second to load, even after a fresh reboot.

Note: I always use AIO dual wipe before installing the ROM and also factory data/cache/dalvik wipe after I install gapps with 4EXT recovery. I tried changing the CPU settings in Performance along with other memory management settings, but this kind of slowdown does not seem to go away.

Sometimes, the phone feels zippy smooth, but when it lags, it feels extremely unresponsive.

I don't have any problems with battery life though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tmender:
I did with the browser, but I think it might have been related to Swype in my case. I haven't used my phone too much today, but it's been very good as far as responsiveness goes. Some apps aren't as quick as they could be, but it's a 2 year old phone running way newer software than it was originally designed for.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dragon-son:
I get this as well sometimes, to clear it up I usually go to developer options and scroll down and for background process limit I set it to 2 instead of default. Fixes the slowdowns for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnyeah:
Let me try that as well. Thanks for the advice.

And yes, I realize this phone is 2 years old, but it doesn't seem like it has problems running the apps. It doesn't lag when you're running the apps, it just lags when you load it. And the lag also occurs after you stop using the apps. I also understand that this phone is limited in RAM, but it does not feel like the lack of RAM is causing these kind of lags (as I never dip below 60 megabytes in free memory). So it seems possible that something running in the background maybe causing this kind of hold up lag.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tomtom72:
Hi,

Again for having a lag free phone i use

Cpu max 1400

Interactive

Developer options

Hw overlay deativation turned on

Gpu rendering on

For me it is fast, maybe this setting helps.

Other settings? Which can speedup? Someone has others?

Have fun tomtom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Roolio:
I installed JB for the first time, Build 128, and it's working just perfect so far! The only thing I really missing from Mimicri is that 'Fn + Delete' deletes the whole line again. I know that that's how it's supposed to be, but to me it's the most frustrating 'feature' ever. Any way to disable this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnyeah:
Is there a reason to not use the max frequency at 1804 MHz? I understand there might be stability issues with some phones, but given that the phone is stable, why not use a higher frequency (at least on paper it should be faster).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dragon-son:
Regular use like sms and phone calls shouldn't need the 1804MHz speed. The only time I turn mine that high is when I play games, and only for short periods (20-30mins) as the phone gets very hot. For normal use use I just use the default speed Flinny has set.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] .ili.music.ili.:
I really like 128. Battery life is definitely better for me. No more overheating/massive battery drain when listening to music with headphones plugged in. Seems more responsive as well!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnyeah:
I see. I don't have a problem with heating that's why I asked. However, the suggestion to limit background processes definitely smoothed the lag and hold up I've been experiencing.

When I reboot my phone thouh, it doesn't seem that the settings stick. I have to reset it when I reboot, is there an option to set on boot?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johrie:
The problem with background limiting is that it resets after a reboot. But it sure helps when turned on :)

The ROM on my MediaPad recently introduced a script which set's "Disable HW overlay" on boot.

I'll take a look at it at the weekend if I can find out how they do it and if it can easily be ported to us.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bapf:
still (minor) issues with bluetooth audio

One other thing:

I still have one (quite tiny ;)) issue with bluetooth audio in the recent builds.

The volume of my bluetooth headset isn't correct after booting (it's to silent). If I use the volume rocker (one time louder and then one time quieter) then it's at the same volume as it was before booting.

Not really an issue, but maybe it's related to some of the other bluetooth issues here (and therefore worth mentioning).

p.S.: The background process limit setting (2) is really a blessing!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iammodo:
After few mins use really impressed runs so much better then cmx for atrix which has twice the power.

Really good job.

I have to open the mail-app to get latest mails. In settings I have set it to 2h
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vauvenal7:
After an update to version 128 i still got one issue:

Still no camera app pre installed (neither when installing gapps jb nor with gapps ics)

Except of the camera thing: great ROM, really smooth, fast and i love the new sms-tweak which lets you do a quickreply :)

Also the keyboard is great, but i got one question/request: it would be great if the stock-sms app would let the hardware enter button do a carriage return like the software keyboard (it is kinda annoying for me to always close the hw keyboard just to get one line down.

All together:

Very fast, smooth and imho very close to a finished version

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Hows the quality of pics taken with the camera these days? Haven't tried this ROM in awhile, last time it seemed CM7 had better pic quality (due to drivers?). Its the only thing that kept me from using this ROM in the past.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
The picture quality in these builds, IMO, is much better than what I've seen from CM7, the touch to focus helps a lot, and so does the custom scenes. For me at least. Maybe there's someone more qualified who can shed some light.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
After lurking for a few weeks now, I finally decided to flash 128 as my DD.

After AIO double pass and flashing the ROM, as expected, it was blazing fast. Tapping the search bar instantly brought up Google Now.

Then I restored my apps and the phone took on a more "normal" performance.

Two things irk me:

1) The Contacts/Phone.apk still sucks like crazy. After a few minutes after restoring apps and rebooting, tapping the phone button took a minute to bring up the screen. I have given up any and all hope that this will ever be GB-like responsive.

2) Tapping the System Settings seems to be taking a longer than normal time to pop up menus. I don't know why.

Overall, I am very impressed and excited to use JB, Flinny and I am glad 4.2 is cooking in the lab.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnyeah:
Try limiting the background process to 2 in developer options. I know how you feel, because that's my experience when I restored my apps. I think the reason is that there are things running in the background that's causing a delay in the phone's overall responsiveness.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
That's the first thing I did right after flashing. I read that post earlier. No effect.

EDIT: Strange! I thought I had set that to "at most 2 and it somehow reset to the default.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] agazza:
127 was good, but a little laggy,

128 is faster but i have massive batterydrain, anyone else?

Same apps as in 127. always use superwipe then restore apps only.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
That will reset after every reboot, you will need to use supercharger or other tools to keep it between boots

I set my keyboard settings as described a few pages back. And on most occasions it works fine, but if I fill in a form in the browser (so not in the address bar but on a website) the Fn button only works if you keep it pressed down while tapping the other button. Same for the shift button. Can anyone confirm this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] robuser007:
Which settings should I use (my phone get's slow after half a day or faster) for this rom ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hendusoone:
Great work, flinny! 128 installed, and it feels quite snappy. Most apps load quickly, a few take a little while (Google Voice, Dialer), but no worse than on other builds.

I have a feature request: is it possible to include tun.ko for OpenVPN compatibility in future builds?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NoFatePPC:
What other tools do you mean to keep the background processes to 2 after a reboot?? Its a verry good setting that also improves my device, no hangup or close error anymore
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnyeah:
Hopefully, setting it back to 2 helped you. I'm sure there's a script out there somewhere that would enable us to make the settings stick.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
It did. It's really slick and smooth. But what does this mean? Only 2 apps can reside in memory at all times? Does this mean all or only user apps? Does the launcher count? Etc. So far nothing untoward has happened, but I am curious.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
It's what YOU open. So yes, user applications. Launcher does not count
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chief2842:
Just flashed this Rom and that helped me with the lag thanks.

Is if possible to make the phone app an background process? It takes sometimes 4-5 seconds untill the phone app is open

Thats frustating...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] logicmd:
Hey Flinny, I have just flashed your build 128. It's just awesome. It is even smoother than ICS.

But there is still some problem. such as we cannot search contact name in Chinese using Chinese. However it is ok in Mimicry.

Would you fix it in your future build?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Xardejn:
Hi.

I don't know if it was mentioned before. I am at 127. JB is great, super smooth. Everything works, but i have problem with camcoder. It records hd - yes, but in playback sound is missing after 5 seconds, everything you get is display.

I can, but that is on mimicry and other CM9 ROMs too.

Finally found the camera function in the gallery, works fine and everything, but still would be great to have an extra camera app icon outside of gallery (camera still would not work if started from the lockscreen icon)

Sent from my GT-N8010
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
Which gapps did you install? Really sounds like your gallery got overwritten.....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vauvenal7:
I installed the gapps jb from your webside

On 125 i gues, or 126...anyways: there i installed the gapps jb, had camera app as an extra icon but no google store, then i flashed ics and had the g store but no more camera app icon (the icon after flashing the jb zip had no function, so it crashed directly after opening anyway)

Oh and one request: if possible, could you change the function of the enter button of the hw keyboard on the sms app?

Because now, when you just press the enter button the sms gets sent, and you have to press shift and enter for gettn a new line, would be great if you could change these two functions (because it would prevent unwanted sms sending)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tatowaki:
My camera app icon is showing OK in 128. Have you tried going to recovery and doing a cache + dalvik cache wipe?

If it still doesn't show up I think you should try reinstalling after a full wipe.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
Your flashing of ics gapps is what caused the problem.... wipe flash the rom and the gapps linked in the op and you should have both camera and play store.

As for the sms request.... that's the way aosp works it's sense that's different. You could always try an alternative app from the play store or ask upstream for that option. I am trying to keep as much as possible in sync with CM as deviating causes me work when they merge something that conflicts.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vauvenal7:
I already have full whiped everything, had another CM9 ROM between 126 and 128 (i jumped the 127), so i had to full whipe and all that stuff anyway

And when i flashed the 128 version i only flashed the jb gapp, ics gapp was only flashed on version 126, so i guess that is not the problem

Oh, okay well, i dont really like any sms app from the store, handcent is weird, go sms is kinda become too much now, chomp is...meh^^

So guess i'll stick to the stock app anyway xD

Oh yeah, another question (i'm a bit annoying i know :-S )

I tried to change the bootanimation. I downloaded the hypnotoad bootanimation from a xda thread, and i replaced the bootanimation.zip in system/media with the hypnotoad.zip (renamed it to bootanimation.zip), this worked on the CM9 ROM which i had between v126 and 128 as mentioned above, now it doesnt work, the bootscreen is just a blue android font shining oO

This is by far the single biggest issue I have. The phone app. Don't tell me I was spoiled by the brutally fast phone app in CM7. I had plenty of synced contacts too.

And considering there's a contacts.apk and phone.apk, shouldn't the communication between the two be the cause for the slow down? It was unified in GB.

Hey Flinny, is there any reason why when you press the search key it goes to google now instead of in app search? I know that there is the setting for it but it doesnt stick. It just seems odd to me is all...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tatowaki:
Maybe should you install "Auto Memory Manager" (available for free at Play Store).

Open the app and select "Running Processes".

Play with the OOM priority of the Contacts and Phone application.

You can even set them as "Always keep alive" so they will never be killed by system. Don't know if setting that will have future side-effects on your system stability, but seems to reach the goal you are looking for.

Ah, be sure you have active the "Back button" option available at system's developer options, as it seems Auto Memory Manager hungs while rebuilding the app lists after applying the always keep alive option. This way you'll be able to kill AMM just by keeping the back button pressed for some seconds.

it is possible, flash the zip from the following thread after installation. However, if you want an effective swap, don't use sd swap. sd card read and write speeds are not anywhere close to fast enough even on a class 10 card. It is worth looking into data swap, though.
