I'd buy an extended battery, but I probably will be getting rid of this phone soo. So there's no point.

Back on topic, anybody know how to speed to App Drawer loading?

It takes a while for the icons to actually start showing...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
bulletproof it?

unless you mean from boot, then... 1.9GHz?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
I thought that wasn't necessary for this ROM?

Or is it because of the updates to the launcher that it needs to be redone?

Edit: Never mind. Gave it a go and it worked.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
Two things I spotted recently:

1. Has anyone noticed that when they use USB mount their phone, when they get out of it, all of their notifications that are not from the system (i.e. downloaded ringtones, notifications etc. think Zedge) are no longer set? Only reason I noticed this now is because my wi-fi at home was acting up and I couldn't use AirDroid.

2. Has anyone noticed a slowdown when using a 3rd party keyboard? I was using SwiftKey and it was great in the beginning but after time it began to slow. I switched back to the default Android Keyboard and the phone was back to normal. Is it better to have 3rd party keyboards installed as system apps?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the (somewhat) thread necro...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
1) I assume you are using an ext partition which would make sense why those apps and other files may not work when mounted to pc, does it just take some time for them to start working again? or do you need to reboot?

2) don't use third party keyboads so don't know
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
1. They never come back. I have to set them again. Even after a reboot.

2. Boo. :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
1- android issue since GB to ICS... even stock

2- BOO

i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
1. Oh really? I don't remember that ever happening to me on GB...

2. Guess I'll use the stock keyboard from now on then.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
1. maybe you never mounted it? i use airdroid alot too.

2. :)

i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
1. I'm fairly certain that I didn't know about AirDroid until not long before I switched to ICS. So I was USB mounting all that time...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Ow bad news, I kinda drowned my DZ to the point when it wouldn't boot or charge. And by trying to quickly dry it I cooked the LCD :good::laugh:

It boots now after a day in heat but the LCD is pretty blurry with static gray artefacting and it appears there's still some moisture under the glass. Anyone has any idea how to fix this quickly or at all? :D

The thing is I need the phone running to work on my Lumos project so if I won't fix it by sunday I may end up getting HTC One X+ .. which means effective end of this mod for DZ unless someone takes over.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
That's not the news I want to hear!

Well if you can live without it today, take it apart and put the pieces in a bowl of rice or if you can get a bunch of those little silica packages they put it shoes... water sucks... not really but if its under the screen its a good chance its elsewhere, so disassembly is a good idea to keep your logic board from rust/ corrosion
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Good idea, but that means turn it off and/or disassemble, which means my development comes to a halt, can't use emulator for this one :(

It may be better in the long run to get a new one and try to save my DZ later as a backup phone, I don't see the LCD display ever recovering though. It works for now but has some heavy gray moire to it, and it died on me earlier, came back after an hour on its own.

Besides the One X+ looks awesome :D Just no keboard and no sdcard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
NO! i am not losing my kernel developer for some water splish splashing on his DZ. you are gonna win this war! you are gonna take off the battery (to prevent short circuits) and start disassemblling mister! NOW!

i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
Riro zizo is right, you've done great work here and I use one of your kernels with most roms I flash, and your cm7 is my fall back rom, it would be rough to loose you

If the only issue ends up being the lcd, in us it cost around 25$ on ebay, not sure out there, but easy to replace and you know you'll never find a phone this good for only 25 bucks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dxaxn:
Best what you can do is put your phone to the 100% spirit if you have some around, leave it there for moment, that will clean it and it will helps to dry. Then bag of rice will do rest. Leave it in for few hours maybe day or two and you should be fine. Good luck
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Take out battery, sd card and sim card then leave overnight in a bowl of rice. Or put some silicone balls in with the rice.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Well rice helped to make the phone stable again, but it had no effect on the purty multi-layer 3D effect on my display, nor the fact that only 20% of the keyboard works :(

That keyboard was the only reason holding me from upgrade.

Thanks for your tips anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
Nikr, still have that experimental kernel you talked about in post 982? :D I suppose it could be a cool parting gift as I see you might be leaving us :/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] buxtahuda:
Yeah, the spirits and rice would only have worked completely provided you hadn't introduced power to the equation until after. I'm up for a new phone, but have been waiting for another good QWERTY :/ if a comparable phone had come out this year I would gladly have donated the DZ.

Sorry to see you may go, some other device's thread shall soon be treated with great, stable, power-efficient kernels and ROMs. Maybe I'll get a OneX, but oh how I fear a lack of a real keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
@Nik3r, please... try fixing the phone... but IF you couldn't, tell us what you bought, so i would try and think of buying the same device :P you are epic man!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Well I was just talking to my carrier representative and was offered One X+ for about $420 if all goes well which is nice, should arrive by wednesday.

The lack of HW keyboard is a huge con but I did try the old regular One X and the screen was big enough to type semi-comfortably in portrait. The One X+ has many minor improvements, like rubberized back for better grip, newer line of display glass, better camera, larger battery, faster CPU, snappier system... I loved the speed of old X, but it's like a beta version of the X+ :D

It's only weakness save for the keyboard is battery, and that's where my skills come in and that phone is where Lumos will shine the most I think, huge superbright display that needs some decent power management ;) The kernel source is not out yet, nor is real s-off but I suppose it will be a nice challenge and good future-proof platform like the DZ was.

The DZ will remain my backup/dev phone, replacing my good old Raphael in this niche.

As for the kernel update.. hell I'm not even sure what exactly am I running, my newest zip says 120906, not sure what was the last release lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xhitz:

Dude I have an extra G2 I could send to you! Seriously I don't see myself upgrading phones for a while, and it would be weird to have a phone without a Dev like you! No more updates/ improvements!! Gasp *_*

Is there a mod like search key to ics recent app for this Rom? :o
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
how well does Google now perform here? I'm on Cyanogenmod 9.1 and I/O is TERRIBLY slow. i tuned up minfrees to aggressive to make it faster (but no multitasking... ever).

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Remove the partition in 4ext, it should keep your fat part. Or remove the corresponding init.d script right after rom flash, before first boot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
Nik3r, once again you have delivered an incredible rom, thank you for that. I had seriously given up on having ICS and a phone that is always responsive and was gonna flash back to a gb base, but EliteMod ICS made me a believer. The fact that all of the notifications and ringers that are set upon flashing are star trek themed has made you my personal hero. Just wanted to extend my gratitude for this one, you rock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Thanks, soon coming to One X+ :D

Hi all,

I have a problem, i just flashed the ROM with CWM. I made a wipe with SuperwipeG2 before. But when I restart my phone, it freezes on the HTC screen. (green HTC on white background).

Any idea to fix that?

Thank you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Try 4EXT and use its format option to convert everything (except sdcard) to ext4 filesystem.

Is there a kernel for Jelly Bean/CM10. Would be cool!!! Mooooaaarrr speed!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
@nik3r, working on Slide2Wake on OXP huh?

I WANT ONE!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Heh yeah it's already working, but I hate Tegra 3, nVidia hardcoded the CPU management in drivers so it's nearly impossible to use any other governor than ondemand. I'm trying to cripple that subsystem to actually be able to change CPU related stuff :D

Qualcomm was so much easier...

Also the X+ can easily reach 50° celsius and beyond that the CPU speed is throttled (not like ot matters on a 1.7GHz quad core anyway), so it's great for burst loads but during longer gaming sessions (Max Payne lol) my fingers get glued to the touchscreen with my own sweat :p

Battery is ok when you don't do 3D gaming, will be much better when I figure out undervolting.

That's one X+ for you in a nutshell.

Oh and we don't have S-OFF, so you need to flash kernels and recoveries over cable in fastboot.

Love it, so much potential when we weed out the mess nVidia left behind... :D

... oh and swipe.. man... never would have believed how good that is on large screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MadMax1978:
Dear Nik3r,

I really like this ROM. Thanks for it! It is really Awesome! To bad that you moved over to an OneX+.

I hope that you will still update the EliteMod & Kernel ICS.

Everything works great, only sometimes I get the texture corruption.

Even VPN works perfect.

Right now I am 3 days from non rooted to rooted Desire Z with swap etc...

Many Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
sorry for bringing this up again, but is it safe to update apex?

———————————————————

i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MadMax1978:
Good question, I tried to update, not to the latest at the moment but the latest 2 or 3 weeks ago, then I had no text/label under the icons on the home screen, so then I removed the update and the problems were gone..

I we can update, did you make some manual finetuning to apexx or not?

Is it also possible to update to the latest Pro version of apexx.

I have a lot of issues with text corruption in elite rom.

Am I the only one?

Because if I read back I can only find that is solved since a specific version of eliterom?

Sometimes I get black letters on apex launcher a couple of times per day, also sometimes in "random" applications. Really killing the app and restarting the app solves the problem.

Thanx for your time!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xox101:
I see development has stopped on this rom. Never the less I want to thank the dev for the work he has obviously put into it. I bought a Desire Z off Ebay for my daughter as she wanted a physical keyboard, tried out four roms and found this one to be the best by far. Excellent work.

Incidentally Apex showed an update as soon as I connected to my wireless network, update was installed with no problems whatsoever.

Now to train her in the wonders of Android after years of faulty Blackberrys!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MadMax1978:
after reboot phone does not finish boot

Since I updated Apex launcher from 1.4.1 to 1.4.2 yesterday I have some problems, directly after the update, the launcher was crashing constantly. After that I tried to reboot but then the device stops on "Android is upgrading, starting applications". The longest I waited for this was about an hour, but no changes, You can see the round logo moving but that it the only thing that changes.

I tried to clear the cache from within the 4ext recovery, but that did not help.

Is there a way to remove the apex update or replace it by an older version without hard resetting? I do not want to reinstall the phone if this is possible.

Do you think this might happen because of the apex launcher(because it was constantly crashing directly after the update) or is this due to another problem?

I read about the "Android is upgrading, starting applications" that this is normal when you use odex files( I use lucky patcher to remove adds from several applications).

Can someone help me with this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xox101:
Try booting into recovery and fixing permissions a couple of times. This has worked for me on a couple of roms in the past.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MadMax1978:
Which permissions do you mean? on the apex launcher or on odex files?

Thanks for you help!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xox101:
I don't have this phone on hand unfortunately, my daughter has it now but I'm talking about booting into clockworkmod recovery-advanced-fix permissions.

I am of course assuming you have clockworkmod recovery installed?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pepar0:
I wish ...

Neither.

It's a pity, but the OP broke his phone and moved on to "newer and better" things.

It is still one of the best daily driver ROMs. A few quirks, very few/rare reboots, good battery life, fast & plenty of free memory.

Am still looking for an alternative.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MadMax1978:
Thanks guys for your help with my apex problem! I got it fixed, by removing the apex launcher. After that I installed Lightning launcher, also a good launcher but I miss some features of apex.

So I tried Apex launcher again, but now I installed it BESIDES the Lightning launcher, after installing and rebooting, the apex kept on crashing, but thanks to the lightning launcher and the question of which launcher I wanted to start, the problem was not so big as in the beginnening. I also have usb debugging enabled just in case the apex launcher comes back again and I loose control of my phone again..

The only working version which does not crash is version 1.35 I tried to install with 2 different approaches:

1. Copy the launcher apk in system/app folder and manually correct permissions, then reboot

2. Use adb to install the launcher as system app

Both ways result in the same behaviour, or a constant crashing launcher or just working(version 1.35).

Does anybody know if there are some leftovers of the 1.35 version after uninstall or upgrade which results in my problem?

Thanks for your advise!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] buxtahuda:
Honestly, I love ICS and JB, especially AOKP, but the G2 is just starting to show its age. I've gone back to EliteMod CM7 and have decided that's where I'll stay.

WiFi calling works correctly and connects quickly, SMS/MMS messages go right on through (seems like every custom ICS/JB ROM I've tried even on other brands and builds is very temperamental about MMS) no hitch, SetCPU and my profiles work correctly, and best of all no homescreen lag, bugmailers, shell/root problems, or other similar issues.

Love the new features, but nothing is as stable as CM7 on this device.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jeeza:
I all!

I came to this rom from Filiiy's alphas, and I have to say this is the fastest thing ever :laugh:

One thing..has someone exerience with this rom and V6 Supercharger scripts?

Do they do any good to the rom?

Also, how much your battery lasts? Mine does one day and a half, making it necessaire to recharge it every night...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheShoura:
the scripts help with light load responsiveness making the phone snappier - do keep in mind the G2 is still a really old phone by today's standards. And the scripts are minor tweaks here and there to improve small things. Don't expect it to be like a new phone!

I can't say for battery - my G2 is going 4-5 days between charges because I'm not connecting to cell (no sim card, its a retired play phone). When I used this ROM with my SIM card, I'd get about 16-18 hours of light use, 8-12 hours heavy use.

Anybody else having problems with the system weather (found in ROM Control)? It seems to have stopped updating on Tuesday the 2nd of April. The location and weather shown on my lock screen and notification pull-down have been the same for many days now. I've tried the "logical" things, like using custom location and rebooting the phone, but nothing can makes the weather update.

Could this be related to the "daylight saving time" my country is observing? Or have the source of the weather information done some changes?
