Did you have an insufficiently small sd-ext partition on your SD card? The sd-ext partition needs to be at least 1GB to match /data or preferably 2GB (why anyone would make it smaller than their internal storage I don't know, but check to see if that's the case).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
try this from terminal:

[I](adb shell)
busybox [B]df[/B] -hm[/I]

and look for /data/app

The internal app manager detects free space wrong if you're using sd-ext. Also make sure you have the lastest kernel.

Your sd-ext should be at least 1.5GB or don't use it at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
How can I set to not use it at all? That's what I want :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
... well you'll have to move the existing apps from sd-ext/app and sd-ext/app-private back to /data/app and /data/app-private via recovery, disable dataswap if you're using it, back up your SD card, repartition it and not choose an sd-ext partition at all. (ps: I'm a little confused you didn't know bout partitioning an SD as a rom dev)

Can you at least confirm that your busybox df -hm output does indeed confirm the issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
You need to reformat your SDcard from recovery and remove the sd-ext (and swap) partitions. I think 4EXT can do that without destroying your data but be careful and backup important stuff to PC first!

Also you may want to full wipe and reflash the ROM after removing sd-ext, just to prevent issues.

You could also remove the corresponding init.d script, but anything you do you will lose /data/app (all installed apps).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
I'm with nik3r that the best course of action would be to backup data, re-partition the SD and just reinstall the rom clean after wiping and such. USe something like Titanium Backup to restore most of the app+data (can even be used to restore system settings if needed).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
its because I've never done it before, never actually had to, or wanted to xD

Thanks, will do
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
If you have never done it then there should not be any other partition other than the fat32 one on the sd card a df output would help confirm that and point direction to other causes of the problem. (or you bought the phone + card used would be my guess)

By the way I'm still a little confused on the camcorder portion. It *was* working I could record videos even if they were not 720p, but now the camcorder app just simply crashes. Camera still works though. But it's just perplexing as it was once working (i.e.: during the june releases) before and then broke as of the latest rom release (I just didn't notice cuz I never bothered to use the camcorder for over a month).

edit: is the camera and camcorder the exact same app, despite the two different icons? since I only notice /system/app/Camera.apk , but would immediately force close if I tap the camcorder icon vs the camera one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
View the camera app details, force close it and wipe app data. It works fine for me.

Sent from my Desire Z powered by EliteMod.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Yea that worked.

By the way here's a new one for you that I just noticed.

I'm using a pattern lock, and I just noticed that when I went to unlock it, I accidentally swiped something that was clearly not the pattern I set it to, and it unlocked anyways.

So I turned it off a few times and I swiped just bout every pattern I could think of and they all still let me into the phone.

I've attached the logcat where I turned it off, unlocked it, off again and unlocked with correct pattern (though doesn't look any different) not sure if the logcat will help you any.

Now if I go into System Settings -> Security I notice that the unlock method is set to 'slide' even though I'm always seeing a pattern lock when I turn on the phone. So I changed that to pattern and set my pattern again, and now it works?

The attached log has both that event, plus an attempt after I set security back to pattern lock.

If I had to make an educated guess, I would say that when Titanium Backup restored my system settings, that not 'all' of the settings were set back into place, thus being an odd mismatch of the screen presented when on, and what the system was expecting in response.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
By the way nik3r did you by any chance do anything to:

/system/framework/core.jar

/system/framework/framework.jar

/system/framework/services.jar

That would be different than the AOKP release? I'm wondering if its maybe why the pdroid patch against those (set as aokp rom type) isn't quite as stable.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
I did change the smileys to latest HTC graphics in framework.apk but that change is not yet released. So no it's all vanilla.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kueber:
Just being curious: Since the JB development over at Flinny&team progresses pretty well - any ambitions to carry on your EliteMod to Jellybean if there has been released a stable/functional version of it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Not sure bout 'well', there's still a lot (and I mean A LOT) of finer points that will need to be addressed in JB once all the major points have been addressed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kueber:
Yeah, well - there are always things to improve. Maybe it's just my impression - but didn't ICS took way more time to reach a similar state?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Yeah but it was due to missing GPU driver support for UI composition, situation with JB is a lot better, because except new SDK and framework there won't be as many changes under the hood. Android 4.0 was a major breakthrough, this is like upgrading froyo to gingerbread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the_faith01:
Randomly, it my phyiscal keyboard stops working properly. And it loads shortcuts. So if I'm trying to reply a text and press 'C', it opens the calender/calculator or whatever the 'C' related shortcut leads to.

Is there a fix for this? It normally causes me to hot reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Press all the function keys fn, shift, menu, sym, search, tab.

One of them is stuck.

like nik3r is saying you hit the magnifing glass button, this can enable the hw kb shortcuts, either hit it again to disable them or go into setting and remove all shortcuts, the first few times this happened to me on my g2 it was frustrating but it isn't rom specific it is vision specific
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
I have been on this ROM for quite a long time now. (I usually switch a lot). And I have to say that I'm really satisfied. I have absolutely no reason to go back to GB. That being said, this ROM is based on the AOKP build that got quite a big update today. Can we expect an update? The JB progress makes me want to flash something. Lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
I have a GF over for her birthday and a big deadline coming so it will be... problematic to do anything until friday or saturday. The kernel changes are quite extensive, that may take a while to implement so use that time to try some JB before I'm done :D

Am I correct in assuming that whatever tweaks you did to the camera to fix the way it takes pictures only applies to the camera app, and not a 'system-wide' tweak.

For example say Instagram shows the attached.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
LoL yes that's me (See the resemblance in the avatar).

Why? Is there a Problem?

:P But yea it would be cool if there was a way to extend certain fixes to other camera apps, but I understand that might not be possible if the only way it was fixed was via the app's source.

---------- Post added at 06:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------

Shame it doesn't sound possible to take camera drivers from other roms. I just tried out the Virtuous Infinity (Sense [4.0.3]) , and the camera is working very well on that preview, even instagram works with it actually showing the camera view without corruption, and the main camera app seems to be showing similar quality preview to what I saw gingerbread wise.

@Kbeezie, are you a graphic designer? you had a nose, now it's gone! are you Voldemort? :P

So what's a better rom, EliteMod or Mimicry? I have a 32gb Class-10 SD-card with a 2gb partition that I used for swap before. Would EliteMod run better than Mimicry??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
2GB Swap... what the hell, shouldn't even need a 128MB swap.

You sure you don't mean a 2GB sd-ext ?

Though if you had an sd-ext partition, elitemod would automatically use it upon install. (it also automatically uses a swap partition if it's there).

If you're planning on using EliteMod ICS, I would re-parition the SD card in 4EXT Recovery with a 2GB or 4GB sd-ext partition (since you got 32GB to work with), and if you *choose* to use a swap partition on the card, 128MB should be fine.

Though you shouldn't need SD-Swap when you can flash the DataSwap mode on EliteMod ICS (if you have both Data Swap and SD Swap, it'll use them both).

It's more of a personal preference, mimicry uses Andromadus as the Rom base, EliteMod uses AOKP. AOKP is lighter, not as much features as mimicry.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
Sorry, yes. I meant sd-ext partition.

Thanks for the brief comparison. I'll stick with mimicry for now.

By the way you ever had a "SIM Card Added" message after upgrading that you needed to restart yet again?

Since you're benching.

For me quadrant gives 2214 total (CPU 2626, Mem 1001, I/O 5466, 2D 357, 3D 1621) (up from 2164, with cpu originally around 2300, and IO originally around 5200)

bugreport: lock screen, double space

Hi there, I found some small bugs. First is on lock screen when locking by pattern is active together with weather information on lock screen. When you need to unlock phone with open keyboard ( landscape mode ), only two rows of pattern field are visible so you don't able to use pattern to unlock until close the keyboard (portait mode).

Second is on space key on hw keyboard. The space is realized physically by two buttnost under the key. My phone typing two spaces in many cases when I writing a message or some other text. If I am careful and touching only left or right side of space key (touching only one of thees buttons under the space key) the problem does not show.

Is there any chance to solve this ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:

Would it be possible to get this rom for people with fried emmcs? (aka the thread about ''Booting android when only recovery is available'' ?)

I've tried getting this (and other ICS roms) to boot using the ''fastboot boot boot.img'' method, after installing it via BootManager to get the required .img files, but it always hangs after the HTC splash screen. I think it may be related to the boot.img, but cygwin won't install on my laptop, so I can't pull it apart and look for clues.

I know it's a niche request, and probably a lot of work. Any help you could throw towards us poor dead g2 owners would be much appreciated though. :)

PlayStore missing after reboot incl. cache and dalvik wipe

first, it is the best ICS rom have reviewed but always something is so annoying that I cant use it on a daily base.

I tried the new 28-07 version, everything worked fine, rom install, gapps install, apps install, configuration.

But my google account is never synced correctly (dont know why) it installs apps I dont use anymore since weeks after I log into my google account. but thats not the problem, after I configured evrything completely and after I uninstalled the apps I dont use, I restarted, wiped cache and dalvik via cwm (to have a clean device). after that the play store was missing (only play store, other gapps are there). i reinstalled the gapps via cwm and it did not help. playstore is still missing, not listed anywhere.

Anyone knows about this problem?

I love this rom and would like to use it as main rom but it is useless without play store.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
you may just be best off backing up the apps you want with titanium backup, then do a full wipe (superwipe) then reflash the rom this time don't let market install anything for you rather use titanium to install all those apps you want

I agree this is the best version of ics for our phones, there are a couple other good ones but this one has given me the best performance, speed, battery life and the least amount of problems. google play missing was never one of the issues
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
You are probably restoring google backups from gingerbread.

Basically go to account backup config and select to disable it, it will prompt you to delete all online backups, select yes. After this I recommend a full wipe, this causes more problems than just duplicate vending apk.

You can also just select NOT to bacup/restore apps and settings during the google account login process. This affects system apps and general settings as well and it will cause many issues when your online backup is GB and your ROM ICS.
