[ROM][PORT][ICS][CM9 based]Andromadus Mimicry

another ROM release on this post. its CM9 based one called Andromadus Mimicry. and this one has aroma installer with some great options :)

first off, thanks to blk_jack for the ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1714187

also thanks to:

-blackwing182 for his ROM, used as a base

-Mr.Highway for his porting guide

-synthetic.nightmare for helping me with almost everything and for the kernel, creamed coconut and frosted cherry :)

-the rest of the devs who answered my questions

now onto the ROM:

what works:

-the main things

what doesnt work:

-minor bug: cpu settings won't stick. use setcpu or another cpu control app

-idk if this is a bug, but the audio in the video recording is not as loud as it should be (not too sure about that). probably the mic. then again, the speaker on our phones suck so that is a problem

-you tell me :)

Some info:

Instructions:

1. wipe data, system, etc.

2. flash ROM

3. flash gapps (http://goo.im/gapps - use/download CM9 one if you do not already have it)

4. flash FFC fix v2

5. don't forget to download a cpu control app to control cpu speeds, governor, etc. (optional)

Optional:

1. flash a different kernel (link down below)

2. flash wificalling rilfix zip.

3. ICS audio libs for CM9 MT4G ports.zip will allow you to hear the other person in a video chat, like Google+

link to ROM: http://d-h.st/users/chickenfactory/?fld_id=3049#files -1.4.0 (latest)

enjoy community. also, thanks to you all for helping out as well :)

I think the cm9 team took out boot audio. If I remember correctly, cm7 didn't have it either

how can we get the cm9 rc1 port camera working with third party cameras????
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
by getting a working 3.0 kernel for our device :D

one is being worked on now but still no telling how long until its ready for prime time (or if it'll even have the necessary camera drivers to make this kind of stuff possible, but it should)

look at the thread where these ROMs came from. i think they have screenshots. but just think of ICS aosp with cyanogenmod features. thats what it will be
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sandys1:
CM has m.engadget.com/2012/07/05/cyanogenm...elly-bean-for-version-10/?icid=eng_latest_art announced that it would make a "quick leap" to Jelly Bean for cm10 and all devices with *valid* cm9 ports would tag along.

This is a very important reason that you guys should create your own CM9 official version - this way all your brilliant work would get momentum and be maintained for jelly bean and beyond.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 0.0:
i read that article! but you see...i still need to learn how to build a cm ROM. for now, im only porting, which hasnt been too bad. hope i can port a jellybean ROM in the future though :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sandys1:
You have built the best ICS ROM for glacier out there! I think you need to give yourself some credit.

In another article, Kondik has mentioned that CM will *only* support cm7 and cm10 in the near future : cm9 will be phased out. It is very important for leading devs like you to achieve a formal CM9 for Glacier.

Its the only way to ensure a continuing upgrade path for our devices. CM10 can then be the seed for a whole bunch of innovative roms - so this community can continue to be vibrant.

Think of it as saving the world ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 0.0:
lol, thanks for the compliments. but really, i never build this ROM. i only port it so that this device can use it. the actual devs, like synthetic.nightmare, blackwing182, and ...awesome... are to thank. they really paved the way for us to have ICS on our devices. and i believe they will get Jellybean up and running on our devices when the source code releases (which i think is next week, since google has said they will start selling the galaxy nexus with JB next week)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] holmes901:
Porting developing anything....I am just surprised that when I chose this phone I was not delt wrong. I choose this phone cause it was free and to have the development blow up I am really happy...till my next phone.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] critter200:
I see an ICS Lordmod-cyanogen kernel in your dev host from 7/22. Currently I'm just using the frosted cherry kernel but was thinking about giving the lordmod-cyanogn kernel a try unless there are any known issues with it(I just mean anything like breaks wifi, I know there might be small issues here or there). I did a search in the thread and found references to lordmod's kernel but am guessing it's the lordmod andromadus one so I apologize if this was already asked :) Thank you in advance!

edit: if you're not sure about issues, I'm more than happy to flash it, try it out and report back, just let me know. Thanks!

Forgot how much i missed cwm

Very nice experience with this. Don"t give up on updates even if you do it on your own.;) truly enjoyable:d:d
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Hey some of my apps force close on the mimicry rom is there a way to fix it I did a full wipe before I installed it installed Google apps then the ffc fix

Edit... Side note I also used titanium backup when setting up the Rom now sure if that has anything to do with it
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ekowanz:
Use tibu? Try just restore the app, not with the data
[myTouch 4G Android Development] blk_jack:
Wipe the offending app's data.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
I also did a fix permission on it but I will wipe data and see what happens
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Still force closes other than that it's a perfect rom but I have to go back to nightly because I use maps alot
[myTouch 4G Android Development] blk_jack:
Check the logs to see why it's force closing?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
How do I do that?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] montydrei:
I am also curious about this kernel. Anyone have info about it? :confused:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cnote74:
Its a cm10 kernel that only boots on a few select ROMs.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] montydrei:
Oh okay. Guess it won't be much use to me and my CM9 ROM then :)

eta: Really liking what I see of the Andromadus Mimicry ROM. Out of curiosity, where is the digital clock widget seen in other ICS ROMs? Is that not a stock ICS thing? Or does anyone know if there's an APK I can push to my phone for this?

Help Translate Andromadus!

Hey everybody! Do you like Andromadus? Do you like Mimicry? Want to give back in a small way & get credited for it?

Well you can! I've started a Crowdin project for Andromadus/Mimicry to let us translate our specific features that are currently English-only to other languages. If you're fortunate enough to know multiple languages, please take the time to head on over to http://crowdin.net/project/andromadus/invite and see if there's a language (or an existing one already translated that may have a few mistakes) you can contribute with.

Everyone who is able to help out will be given proper credit in the ROM's installer, as well as the OP.

Thank you!

I waited to see if that was the case, but it doesn't change to 'H' in areas where I was normally getting it. My data speeds are normal, so I'm pretty sure I'm getting HSPA+, it's just the icon doesn't seem to change to show that.

I've noticed lagginess in the Apex launcher "Tablet" & "Card stack" homescreen transition since version 1.3.2 of Andromadus Mimicry... is it just me? :(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
I am not sure if that's right but when it comes to launchers I use the one that's backed up on my titanium backup app to be safe
[myTouch 4G Android Development] JDMDC2:
I noticed that too
[myTouch 4G Android Development] blk_jack:
Have you guys tried upgrading Apex? I don't use it but you can likely solve your issues by reverting to a previous version or upgrading to a new one if it exists. Since mimicry 1.3.2 I've included the beta version of Apex that's based on JB, but I know development was moving quickly so I thought I'd mention it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] montydrei:
Found the not-beta APK here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1452663

For those who want to downgrade Apex launcher, be sure to clear Apex Launcher's data in app management before installing the APK. Learned that the hard way (FCs when trying to view home screen).

Also, it looks like the beta (1.3.0beta2) included in Mimicry 1.3.2+ is the latest version so far.

Anyway, reverting to 1.2.5 stable got rid of the laggy homescreen transitions. Yay!

Just in case anyone has trouble finding the changelog like I did at first, here is a cut-out from the original OP (blk_jacks thread) Thanks goes to blk_jack for this,

and once again to 0.0. for porting this over for us..

Version 1.5.0 – September 4, 2012

– Merged in new CM9.1 changes

– Requested Feature! Added remove all recent apps. Longpress app or press Trackball in Recent Apps overlay

– New Feature! Added adjustable StatusBar background color and transparency

– New Feature! Added colorize to Notification Shortcuts -- Change both the stock and default app icon colors on the fly! Toggling Notification Shortcuts resets the color

– Completely re-coded Notification Shortcuts -- faster, less unnecessary redraws

– Fixed Notification Shortcut alignment and spacing. Now draws and scales properly depending on available width. (Toggled on by default)

– Fixed exception in Notification Shortcuts causing Settings to crash on blank shortcut redraw

– Switched notification shortcut background pressed drawable to use notification_item's - will work with colorization to provide better theme consistency

– Modified default StatusBar color to act as an inactive default to allow themes to take priority

– When setting the date to appear in the StatusBar, it now maintains the same font size as the clock

– Applied hwc prop change to [mostly] fix corrupted text issue

– Updated translations for existing languages and added new languages for: Romanian, Czech, Lithuanian, Portuguese, Slovak, Serbian, Turkish & Chinese traditional!

– A big thanks to new translators: bogdan5844, CebeLL, daanas, dakf, Filip.Hunka, GizMoQC, hezeri, Jinxtedium, karalaine, Krusty, magno23, matteoa91, michuo, Petrs, shared_ptr, skui, TBest, TheGed129, tomaja & Whippler
