Re: [ROM][ICS][10/17/12] SyNthetic_aospX 1.0.0-MR1SG [WIP]

I know this is a strange request, but can someone running this Rom test words with friends?

When I try and open the program, it doesn't show my letters. It's just a gray spot where the letters would be. It works fine on cnote cm10.1. This is just a little faster, so it's rather fly with this

So SyN, should we consider this rom dead, or?

I'm only asking because I'm looking for a rom to settle down with ;) ;)

would I be better off with going with MyTouchUX v3? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1826792&highlight=mytouch+ux

Just because its dead doesn't mean that you shouldn't settle down with it. And UX is just as dead as this as UX is based on this rom

It's true, I think I may just do that, everything I use on a daily basis works. Very stable and smooth as well. My only complaint is WiFi signal, not the rom's issue though, I tried boosting iwconfig tx Power to 32db and it still showed no improvement. Anyone have any idea if our phones can change txpower?

Anyone see anything like this? Look at the letters on the bottom. They disappear in this rom and saranhai rom which uses this as a base.

This is after a clean install, full wipe. The one with letters is an example of what it looks like on every other rom. Thoughts?

Not to kick a dead horse or anything but my voicemail notification has never worked with the past few ICS/JB ROMs I have tried. Any ideas?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Superchill11:
Much more info is required for people to give you help. What carrier? TMo? I haven't had any issues on any of the radios or roms that I have used.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Shao_X:
I'm using this ROM with the mint chocolate chip kernel. I am on Mobilicity (a small Canadian carrier). I was on this ROM and it didn't work, then recently tried going to MIUI and the voicemail notification worked, but after formatting back on to this it stopped working again. It used to work on Gingerbread ROMs and it also works on my girlfriend's phone who uses this ROM but is actually on TMo.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Falzo:
I know that for my part its due to the sim card standard used by Videotron which is slightly different than what is coded in AOSP. CM had a fix for it in 7.2 (http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2801), but since the branch for CM9 was made before the fix it to ICS or JB.

I am using Steppnasty's aospX MR2 and my voicemail notifications work. I believe it should also work on this from what I saw in its Git. Andromadus Mimicry ported by 0.0 also had the fix included. I suggest you try MR2.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] existz:
Re: [ROM][ICS][10/17/12] SyNthetic_aospX 1.0.0-MR1SG [WIP]

Yea, that fix wasn't added until after MR1, so anything based off my latest sources (ie any MR2 preview builds, cause I haven't released MR2 officially yet) this should be fixed.

Can someone confirm please?

sim not working

Has anyone experienced the sim not working after installing? I am downloading the file again so I can reflash it but after installing this rom it wouldnt find the sim card . I'll see what happens after a fresh download and install

Re: [ROM][ICS][10/17/12] SyNthetic_aospX 1.0.0-MR1SG [WIP]

I haven't had any issues with that, but my phone has been freezing a lot lately, usually when trying to wake it up or when I get a call while the screen was off. I came on here in hopes that there were some recent updates. Unfortunately, there haven't been any :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Synthetic.Nightmare:
Re: [ROM][ICS][10/17/12] SyNthetic_aospX 1.0.0-MR1SG [WIP]

Your update is here. ^^^

Unfortunately, I have parted with my glacier and am unable to maintain the source properly :/ I'd rather give out solid work that I can test and fix myself, rather than blind builds and hopeful thoughts. Hence why steppnasty started his own thread; at first he was forking off my syn aospx repos, trying to include some things for himself personally and was kind enough to share after I asked for anyone interested in maintaining source/releasing.

As for Wi-Fi calling, its been said to be a little iffy on all 4.x firmware (including stock devices). I don't use it though so I wouldn't know.

About the sim card problem, I've never experienced that but I've had a sim card flat out die on me before. I went to t mobile, they told me it was dead and i got another one free.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] captaincrook:
Ah well, really the only thing that bothers me about this from is the crazy input lag in the landscape keyboards. I've tried countless amounts. and they all struggle in the wide views.

Other than that I could hug you guys for such a good ROM.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Matt105:
Hi all, great ROM. The only problem I really have is that sometimes my touchscreen stops working when I'm trying to unlock my phone. As in, I can't unlock it. I can longpress the power button and the power options menu comes on, but I still can't unlock it. Happens 1-2 times per day. End up having to take out battery to restart.

Thanks for any help.

Yeah that was happening with me also while on this rom but there is basically an update to this rom in a different thread called stepp_aospx mr2

i havent tried it so dont know if it has the same problem
[myTouch 4G Android Development] #2!:
I have random lock screen issues on all roms I use with the mt4g. Some roms it happens more often then others. It just freezes with the screen upside down for 5 seconds, turns the screen off and wont respond for a minute or so. 4.1 roms it will turn the screen upside down the touch screen responses are all reverse.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mymeatb18:
Is ur phone s off or s on
[myTouch 4G Android Development] #2!:
S-off
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mymeatb18:
I have never had any problem with lock screen on any rooms what recovery do u have?

Something that would happen to me on this rom though is the lock screen wouldn't respond to touch sometimes I think its in the bug list
[myTouch 4G Android Development] #2!:
I had CWM and a while back I put on EXT4. All ROMs seem to install fine.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mymeatb18:
I don't know what to tell u then bro except to make sure ur recovery is up to date and make sure u are wiping all partitions except SD card
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mybestway:
Is that likely to continue to update this rom ?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
Maybe Synthetic will upgrade this to 4.2.2 or 4.3 AOSPx :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Synthetic.Nightmare:
Well it probably wouldn't be "synthetic" aospx if it were to be worked on now but I think its safe to say that this project is over (at least by both existz and myself) and we've moved on. Either way I don't know if I'd want to release something I can't thoroughly test (for things like signal, etc.). To top it all off I think I've already got enough on my hands which would likely decrease the quality of all of my projects as a whole, and that's something I just can't bring myself to do. There's definitely more to come from us and, when we get things finalized, I wouldn't mind playing a supporting role in glacier development since I still have mine, but I don't see myself taking lead on any rom development for this device.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mybestway:
yeah i know you do a lot of work for glacier and like your rom and kernel very much . thank you for doing these.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darkgiant:
Don't want to revive an old topic, but is the download link provided from the first post enough to get us started with the ROM? Are there any certain updates or GAPPS we should install on top of this? Just making sure, I am a newbie when it comes to ROMs on the mytouch 4g!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mymeatb18:
Nope that's it
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darkgiant:
All seems well, until I start using Snapchat. Now, the screen keeps on just going back to home, blacks out, goes back to home, blacks out and does that for a while... I am guessing Snapchat might be incompatible with this ROM or something?

[myTouch 4G Android Development] JG:
Hey Bro you are not planning on resurecting this bad boy are you!!:fingers-crossed:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darkgiant:
Not trying to revive this topic, but I ran into a couple of issues, ever since using this ROM as a daily driver.

At first, it ran flawlessly, and was fast and fluid. Lately (the last couple of weeks) it requires me to pull my battery out at least twice or even three times a day, because the screen would either refuse to unlock, or does not even show up anything when I press the lock/unlock button. Additionally, it seems as if it just bogged down and is slow, and is starting to drain my battery really fast.

Today, I was just using Google Maps to get directions using the public bus, and the battery went from 100% all the way to 41% in a matter of 10 minutes! And after that, it would never unlock, requiring me to do a battery pull once again.

Now, I know this ROM is not going to be supported, but I just wanted feedback on how to resolve these issues, as I really want to continue using this ROM as my daily driver.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
Screen Freezes are pretty common....

Try a different rom, maybe creamed glacier or IceColdSandwich?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darkgiant:
Are both of those ROMs as stable as any ROM can get for the Mytouch 4g? I appreciate the hard work a lot of the dev's put onto these, and this is all pure voluntary, but I kind of would just like something that has minimal problems :/

That being said, if that doesn't exist, my best bet is to go over to CM7?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Synthetic.Nightmare:
I thought I posted a kernel without the sweep2wake stuff. Though I don't know if it was either removed from dev host due to lack of downloads or if I didn't make the link clearly enough (my bad!). Also have you tried steppnasty's builds? They are a tad more updated and already have sweep2wake removed.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2114184

Download the ICS gapps like mentioned in the op but try booting wihout them first just to be sure; because aospx was made before goggle started that ordeal about cm including gapps, so if stepp didn't strip that, those apps should still be there.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darkgiant:
Before I do go off and flash one of those ROMs, I noticed that there is an option that says "Disable Sweep2wake", I just clicked disable on that option. Does that have anything to do with the random freezes and such?

Secondly, in my homescreen, where there are the icons for each apps, the font is kind of looks messed up, is that another indicator of something else?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
What have you enabled in Development settings?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darkgiant:
The only thing I have enabled is Android debugging under the Development settings. Besides that, everything else is left unchecked.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] N_otori0us_:
Look for enable hw overlays or something like that. Enable it and tell me what happens
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darkgiant:
I actually do not see any sort of option that says anything like that.

Am i missing something with this ROM?? I flashed a couple days ago and havent been able to access the camera. I tried downloading the Camera Zoom app and that did not work either. Was there a fix posted somewhere or should i reflash the rom? Also having trouble with YouTube app, but i think that may be because of a recent update
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Synthetic.Nightmare:
Camera: Idk. I thought there might have been something wrong there when I first released but after 300+ downloads and 2 weeks later, no one else has reported anything. I'm currently running a back up of BR3 (I didnt feel like backing up BR4), but I'll full wipe and flash BR4 again to see if I have the problem as well.

Youtube: uninstall the update.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jpimp150:

Its Dave Chappelle.. I thought it was tasteful.

Edit: to stay on topic, I flashed the BR3 and I am still getting no function from the cam. It pretty much hangs at a black screen then eventually FC's. I definitely wiped the sh*t outta my phone before flashing, not sure what the problem is.

My phone apk keeps disappearing on this ROM and I have no clue why.

I have to keep reflashing the ROM just to have it back for a short period of time.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Synthetic.Nightmare:
Weeeird. Does it vanish from system/apps as well?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
This happened before on an earlier build remember?

And no, it still shows up in system/apps. I even tried deleting it and moving a copied phone.apk from this same ROM and it still doesn't show up even after rebooting. And I tried two different launchers, so it can't be the launcher hiding it from me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Synthetic.Nightmare:
Hmm... I think I l remember, but I have yet to replicate that on any of my builds and something like that would be a pain to catch on a logcat... it happens at random, correct?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
Yea, it seems like. Like one day it's there, and then the next day I need it and it says something like this app isn't installed or something like that, it still lets me text and stuff though.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Synthetic.Nightmare:
Yeah then logcatting when it vanishes would be difficult... and I don't see any reports on the aospx issue tracker. Did you restore apps/data? It would be nice to know if this happens to anyone else as well; that way I know for sure that it's likely something wrong on my end.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
This happened like a week after I flashed and restored apps with TiB.

Then I went to try miui v4, then came to this via restore from backup and then maybe a few hours later, it was gone.

Then I reflashed and set up again, and the next day, it was gone again.
