Has anyone working Weather and Callendar icons/info while having lock screen active? mine is not working on any of these builds.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lolmaus:
Hi everyone!

I've flashed build 128 on my Desire Z. Been running it for a couple of days.

Got two big problems:

1) It's terribly slow. Every switch between applications causes a blank white screen for at least 10 seconds. Very often it would display an "Application is not responding, close it?" message. When i launch the Dolphin browser, i usually receive that message twice (each time selecting "wait") before it shows any GUI, and wait for some more time for it to become responsive and start rendering a page — that's about one minute! One minute between clicking a link in a Twitter client and being able to scroll the displayed page!

2) It drains battery as hell. Two hours of non-stop usage (installing and configuring apps) discharged the battery from 100% to 50%, and the back of the phone got hot. The rest 50% of charge disappeared in four hours of medium usage.

Questions:

1) Is that normal for Andromadus/Flinny firmware or i'm having an extraordinary situation?

2) Is Andromadus/Flinny firmware known to be generally slower and more battery-eating than CM7?

3) Is there a way to make it run without slowdowns and work for at least 15 hours?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pauldacheez:
lolmaus: Your problems certainly ain't normal - my phone's runnin' perfectly smooth. Go to Settings > Developer options and check "Show CPU usage" to see if there's some process that's stuck at 100% CPU. The media scanner process is usually the culprit 'cause it gets stuck on a corrupt file on the SD card, in which case you remove all your photos and music and whatever from the thing and then figure out which file's causing the problem by putting them back incrementally.

If you want to butter up your experience a bit further, set Developer options > Background process limit to "At most 2 processes" and set all the stuff in the Performance settings to whatever you think is best (don't use zRam and don't bother changing the I/O scheduler, though).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lolmaus:
Thx pauldacheez! What is the default value of "Background processes"?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
Enable it with: /System/Lock Screen/Weather or Calendar
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pauldacheez:
lolmaus: "Standard limit" is most likely just however many the phone can handle. Phones with 1 or 2 GB of RAM can handle plenty, but this phone has less than 512 MB - about 150 MB or so are taken up by the radio and other things, leaving little space for the OS and apps. So it can only handle two or three.

The Background processes setting resets itself after reboots, by the way.

Also, what ended up being the culprit?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
Test builds are considered similar to nightlies, only not nightly, ha ha. These are bleeding edge and not considered stable releases. So to answer your question. Yes, this is an upgrade over the Beta 1 - perpetual development to produce future stable Beta releases.

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

Try using a third party app, e.g.: Wifi HotSpot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lolmaus:
I'm not sure yet, have to test it for a day, but it seems that Dolphin Browser itself was causing the slowdowns. I can remember my phone running smoothly after reboot but then slowing down (apparently, after starting Dolphin).

Disabling the "Jetpack" feature of Dolphin seems to solve the issue. I'm not fully sure about that without testing it for a while, but on 2.3 i had similar slowdowns with Jetpack and had to disable it.

My ass...

I tried to clean install B129 and again I failed after the first launch subscribe to Google account. I did wipe, then flash ROM Gapps, wipe again and restart. I used 4EXT recovery touch RC7
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
What failed after first launch?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zelych:
I'm sorry, google translator mistranslated. After the first start you can not log in google account. It is then necessary to enter login details again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
I remove my sim card and use wifi to connect initially and without a problem. When using data to connect to google, there could be problems with your service provider.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] istmar:
Im impressed with 4.2 nice improvements:) keep it up flinny and many thanks !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d_gkal:
can i use 4.2 as DD?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prairie-dad:
I've done so for the last few days. If you're not totally reliant on GPS/navigation or blazing speed, it works great.

I used Flinny's 120s builds for weeks before trying 4.2, and that was great, too. No GPS worries, either.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heydi:
can not set alarm clock in 4.2 v3
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tatowaki:
This thread has so many opened sub-threads within itself, that I think OPs should open a dedicated sub-forum to Flinny's releases ehehehehe

BTW I'd like to thank Flinny for all the hard work invested so far!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
Should be fixed in the next build... google issue ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zelych:
I was connected via wifi, everything looked from works ok, but when he wanted to update the Google search, so I had to re-enter login information, because there is no account has been created.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vauvenal7:

So far no really feelable changes to 128, except the camera ;)

Great work flinny :D

weird.... i can set the alarm and it does work for me...

btw the clock in the lockscreen is looking weird... like the bottom part of it is being cut off :(

but the battery life in 4.2 is very good for me :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chief2842:
First I want to say thanks for the Rom Flinny it's great. Everything seemed to be working fine just as 128 was until I started to experience signal drops. I did a full wipe then flashed the rom now I'm getting the "No Internet Connection" error. In order to get my signal back I have to reboot my phone several times I did a search and didn't see anyone else reporting the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prairie-dad:
Same for me. Alarm works fine, lock-screen clock cut off at bottom, battery good...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JGarrido:
wifi to mobile data hand-off

I'm still on 128, and loving it over the previous couple builds. The main issue that plagues me at this point is that the hand-off from wifi to 3g/hspa+ never seems to happen smoothly, and I have to reboot to get carrier data back.

I think I remember hearing another person or two having the same problem - can anyone confirm whether or not 129 resolved the issue for them?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] suku_patel_22:
Just try to do a ping test before rebooting. Sometimes data is connected but no 3g or H symbol.

I believe Google announced this couple days ago to fix. A "long" standing issue to be fixed in the near future. :cyclops:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bapf:
I had this problem and flashing the latest radio fixed it for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nickownzya:
Flinny! Your and your team's work is awesome:)

^Just wanted to say that lol.

Now seriously. There is one thing, which is really annoying to me. I guess it's more a feature than a bug, but:

How do I prevent unlocking my screen opening the hardware keyboard?

Is there any solution around?

Regards, Nick
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
Hmm power cut wiped out my local repo rather impressively. Seems a good time to sleep whilst it resyncs!

May have to invest in a smart ups...:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cn.fyodor:
It's a feature from CM and of course there is a config overlay to toggle it but no GUI Settings to do that. The standard behavior in AOSP is not to unlock the screen when opening keyboard. :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Powers88:
Thought I should post a review for 129. Full wipe, disable hw overlay, force gpu, 2 background processes max, 1400mhz interactive. All is fairly smooth, no reboots or anything like that. I do have the occasional slow down but going in and swiping away all recent apps seems to help. I am having trouble with the wifi to 3g switch though. Doesnt want to get data back even though it shows a grayed out 3g. Reboot gets data back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pauldacheez:
Powers88: Someone mentioned earlier that they fixed their Wi-Fi-to-3G handover issue by flashing the latest radio, try that out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nevyntanis:
Same here.... airplane mode sometimes helps, not always though.

I dont reckon its radio related, tried a couple of radio files awhile back, made no difference.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nickownzya:
Do you know where that config is located?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
I know that if you enter "ro.config.hwfeature_wakeupkey=0" into build.prop you can disable the volume rocker from unlocking the phone, I don't know if this can also stop the hardware keyboard from doing so or if it must be changed slightly (or maybe it's something completely different).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trees247:
where is the digital clock widget?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Corias:
Same things on my DZ, and I've noticed that airplane mode on/off also fixes 3G connection for a while.

It would be good if the keybord light can be fixed in 4.2

I will investigate the gps issues, tbh I went as far as loading maps up and got a lock straight away right ontop of my house :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
that will require a bit of work... google basically ripped out all the code to deal with it in 4.2 as they did with the capacitive keys. Luckily CM put a fix in place for those...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
It's stable and I've been running it as my DD since build 2 it just depends if you need one of the few things that are not 100% yet :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bakaev:
Which things are not yet finished?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
gps seems to not be working properly

keyboard backlight

fix trackpad unlock

few tweaks around qcom media/hardware video encoding.

Anything else I forgot....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
My GPS works fine for maps, navigation and sygic navigation.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aishsingh:
i just flashed build 4 of 4.2 and its pretty awesome. gps is also working for me, but the digital clock on the lockscreen is being cut off a bit from the bottom. also can you add the new photo sphere feature to the camera?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamz667:
Photo Sphere featue is not wokring on Vision because of lack of gyroscope.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] imanoob:
To those who have the GPS working have you guys been able to get a lock without wifi? I mean its not really the GPS sats that are getting the lock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iammodo:
Really impressed with how quick build 4 is was on 129 before. Really good job.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
Could not get a lock without WiFi.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prairie-dad:
Ditto. No WiFi > no GPS.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pantherx12:
Sounds like aside from those few issues 4.2 is coming along real nice.

Does anyone know if it's possible to flash the 4.2 clock on DZ?

Seems a lot better than 4.1
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Blubberor:
incredible sooth and quick. much faster than cm9 or JB4.1 based ROMs...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nevyntanis:
Yes you can. I extracted the apk from 4.2 and installed it on 4.1. there may be another way to do it, but I dont know what it is. Also prefer that clock.:laugh:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oVeRdOsE.:
Do you know if there's a app for that.

Since 2005 I'm doing photosphere. I take 360° pictures on 45° down, 0° and 45° up.

Put everything in PTGUI, do a .mov and that's it. I got a photoshepre.

Gyroscope is for the google stock photo app. Pretty sure we can built something to make it work without it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
Is there anything in 4.2 that still doesn't work? Because I can't find anything that doesn't other than reports of GPS not working but it works fine for me as I just used it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamz667:
Cool, but I mean that Photo Sphere feature implented in Android 4.2 stock camera app will not work due to lack of gyro.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pantherx12:
Great stuff thank you, I tried just flashing the gapps zip but it done nothing but bugger up the playstore. :good:

Is Voice Dialer with bluetooth fixed ?

Hi, wondering if voice dialer using bluetooth will be fixed in next build? Thanks.:D:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kamild_:
Actually I fixed all those redraws and lags by using RAM Booster. I'm using build 127 and it's working well, now I'm waiting for next major update (like Beta?).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Transmission3000:
Where are all the homescreen settings and whatnot? This may sound stupid, but i can't stand having more than 3 screens. I use this thing as a phone and can't be bothered to have a butt-ton of icons all over the place. That's what the app drawer is for.

Also: Is it possible to get the weather back onto the lock screen?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
this is AOSP not CM, all of those features are Cyanogenmod. At the moment i'm working on a clean AOSP build trying to keep the ui as stock as possible. Once CM 10.1 get's to a point where I think it's worth starting doing builds for then the work I've done on the AOSP 4.2.1 builds will come in very useful and things should get going rather quickly.

Nick.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aishsingh:
just install apex or nova launcher from the play store then change the homescreens with it. for the weather I have no idea
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nevyntanis:
Just an update on using the clock from 4.2 in 4.1. The way I installed it, the alarm will force close the app and home screen widget changes back to the defaut clock after a reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pantherx12:
I was over on the n7000 forum yesterday and seems the old clock has to be frozen or uninstalled before installing the new clock Apk. Could be worth a try. I've not got round to trying myself yet.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Transmission3000:
Nick,

I dig. I was just kinda thrown by the lack of some settings, such as that. Didn't know they were CM customs. I dropped this new build on my phone right before heading out to work, so I was all "WTF?" for a bit.

What's up with these sliding lockscreen tiles? I think they might be cool, but I can't figure them out? And the main one is cutting off the clock. Is that just a font-size issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iammodo:
700mhz min and 1.4ghz max battery life on build 4 is rather good.

Since build 128 I have problem with restoring Opera mini when it's open on the page to open another application, it is then just a black screen. This is due ROM, or Opera?

I had the same. I believe its due to insufficient amount of ram. Limit background processes to 2 in developer options. Some use ram booster to limit processes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sp1980:
Try wiping with G2/DZ AIO wipetool, and try to remove battery stats in your recovery. I think something is corrupted here. I didn't have the problem but I think this may help you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pantherx12:
Regarding the clock, the clock Apk from these builds scales fine on 129.

So probably just needs a lil code tweak rather than any actual resizing.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] youbadguy:
yeah, Ithink 4.2 is stable enough for A DD
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] imanoob:
Yea I would have to agree that 4.2 is stable enough to be a DD.

The only issues left for me are:

1. Backlight of the keyboard

2. BT working on calls

Those are the only two problems I have, but I think Flinny is aware of them so he will get around to fixing those. If those two issues don't bother you I would say this is a DD.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MaxFTW:
Build 129 with Supercharger and patched services.jar is good enough. I also had to delete some system apps as it makes phone faster. I won't say if it's fast or not, because I have One X and speed opinion would be god damned subjective.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arpitnathany:
does swap work on 4.2, has anyone tried or is that a very bad idea.

also swap was working in 4.1 on previous builds, is it working in 129, if anyone using it can clarify, how is it working (how much should i use 64 mb or 96 mb), does it reduce lag when multitasking. i remember in ics it used to help a lot.

i am talking about the data swap and sd-ext combo from kbeezie's post

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pantherx12:
Just realised you meant lock screen clock on 4.2, I've noticed if you add a new clock lock screen the clock fits and it's not until you use the unlock slider that the bottom gets cut off, not sure if that's helpful or not but thought I'd just say.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Transmission3000:
I could almost live without the keyboard backlight if the on-screen didn't get wonky, occasionally.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
I find Supercharger a bit convoluted. I'm trying out RAM Booster Pro to limit running apps and to clear apps cache on preselected intervals. The widget allows a view/kill of running apps. I able to keep free RAM at 150mb min and usually at ca. 170mb. So far, good. Min cpu 768 max 1401.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] natabbotts:
Been running AOSP Builds the last few days, mostly very stable.

Had one issue on Build 4 (hasn't reoccurred again on either build 4 or 5) where the screen was stuck on the lock screen - it would vibrate as if I was interacting with something when I touched it, but the screen itself would not unlock. Holding down the power button brought up the power menu so I was able to shut down and restart.

Aside from this, have had no issues, everything runs flawlessly and it seems very fast (though don't they all, on the day you flash them...).

Thanks for all your fantastic work, Flinny (and the rest of the andromadus team).
