OK just a few things that I have always seen in the ICS ROMs that I would like to say. I don't think that they are important at all though.

1. When you set an alarm by voice it will say its set for whatever time but it won't go off or show the alarm icon in the status bar unless you uncheck and re check the time in the clock app.

And 2. When you open the keyboard and close it to unlock the screen, the input method notification for the keyboard appears and doesn't go away until you lock and unlock the screen correctly.

So like I said nothing by any means important.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
there is something seriously wrong with Chrome Beta with the G2 or the DZ, but I noticed it with this ROM more frequently because it's fast at almost everything... except browsing with Chrome.

it NEVER works fluidly on this phone and it always bugs out or locks the phone up completely.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Did u disable the input switch in settings? If not do it because I tried to recreate your issue but it doesn't happen to me (I'm sure its because its completely disabled).

Everyone using chrome on android says that, even on jellybean. They say the stock browser is smoother than the chrome browser. I noticed it also when it was in beta (plus I didn't like how the address bar never disappeared), so I uninstalled it and haven't tried it again since. Seems like google still has some optimizing to do.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
right. the stock browser is way smoother.

guess i wont be using chrome anymore! thanks.

Noticed an issue on 1.1.2 that i did not have on 1.1.1 - when someone calls me, it shows their phone number rather than their name/photo. Sometimes after 4 or 5 rings it will 'fix' itself, other times it won't - but then looking in call history, it shows their name properly.

Very strange - i guess it's a slow lookup of the contact book or something?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Yup, I have also noticed this very slow lookup of the caller...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mirko935:
Yes, it happens on 1.1.1. As far as I've noticed, every time I use voice recognition all sounds (system, notifications, ringtone) start playing through the earpiece instead of the rear loudspeaker, it was the same when I used jerl92's CM9 betas as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Okay, I'm getting really annoyed with the fact that I keep getting a notification that there are too many messages on my sim card. And the messaging app doesn't delete them either.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CedricAnne97:
Really have to say: BEST ICS ROM EVER!

I've been looking for a smooth, good working ICS rom for our phone and I think I just found it.

Congrats, mate, this rom is butter smooth (it almost seems like project butter is already implemented :P )

Really, you've done a great job on this rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I believe this is a result of using EdKeys' lib-RIL/.19 radio updater.. try without it. If you're not using that, I'm not sure. I've only gotten SIM card warning messages on occasion when I hot reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
If you are using the Wifi calling add on then you need to go to T-Mobile and get a new SIM card. The newest version doesn't give this message.

If you aren't using wifi calling I have no idea.

Anyone run into a bug on 1.1.2 where the system UI randomly crashes when you X out apps in the notification bar?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aussi:
I also have a problem with my contacts that wont sync on my alpine BT radio :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spooke:
Just wanted to see if anyone else has these issues? Sometimes my notification bar is completely empty - I can only drag it up and down. Also the time seems to loose sync and I have to manually re-enter the correct time. Should I reflash the rom and do a full wipe? Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
I have a question. I am on the .13.04.19 radio. I flashed the lib-RIL radio updater. I did not flash WiFi calling. I have an issue wherein periodically I lose all radio signal. I cannot make or receive a call without restarting the telephony service. I want to re-flash the ROM (or flash 1.x ROM) without the updater. I would like to know if that would cause issues (will GPS stop working?). I posted on EdKeys' thread, but got no replies.

BTW the missing SMSes are a thing of the past. I have not lost any in the last few weeks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jsievert:
I have been having the same issue as well sense I installed it, really annoying when it freaks out with motorcycle headphones and there is nothing you can do about it on the road. I got it to go away by going into setting/sound and disabling safe headset volume. I am starting to wonder that the way it works is it cuts the volume to 75% and brings it back up my triggering a "volume key up" long press event which would be a next track in some apps. But that's a n00b guess.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
The empty notification bar glitch seems to be a common issue with CM9 upstream. It populates on its own if you give it a second.

As for losing time (sync).. I haven't had that happen myself, so a full wipe may in fact help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
I'll check it out. Thanks.

Why not take a look at the profile on the left buddy. In India using Airtel.

I noticed today that using the Timer in the Camera app will lead to a FC. I tried to make a photo on 60 seconds timer, but when I came back, the Camera app was FC'ed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dsip:
And how would you go on about doing that? It is configured to use notifications, so to use a different messaging app, I need to start the stock app, deactivate notifications.. and then my messages are already gone?

I didn't really mean to complain. I would however kindly ask you to consider changing that setting. Imho it is much easier to change it back, with nothing to lose until someone does, than it is to make a backup, change the setting, and then re-import the backup.

On that note: If I flash an update later, the settings of the stock messaging don't revert back, do they? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SashaSki:
I've also got both of these. I'll wake up in the morning and the statusbar will be stuck on 1am, the lockscreen however displays the correct time. Rebooting fixes it, for a while.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
Most unfortunately, your profile on the left doesn't appear on the Tapatalk app. But I'll keep an eye out next time:p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Same here. Its our outdated hw + the new Phone & People app. Our phone is not fast enough to locate the exact contact quick enough. Yes irritating. Hopefully JB fixes this.

Nope. Never heard of this I think.

Yes, that is how you "disable" the stock messenger. Messages will still be shown in it, but it won't notify you. And yes, when u flash an update to this rom, your settings will still be intact.

Happens to me, but not as bad as yours. Mine only gets out of sync for no more than a minute, then fixes itself automatically shortly after.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chan1628:
I know everyone has different number of apps running @startup... but mine only has 80mb of memory left at startup.... that's much lower than what I had with ILWT, which was around 190mb....

Is this just normal ICS or is there something I can do to improve?

"there is no spoon"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Having more memory is not necessarily a good thing. Android keeps applications in the memory so that it is quicker to switch between apps. Search for android RAM and read the articles. You are fine with the amount of RAM leftover.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stringbean98:
Really Really loving this rom. I have Finally have WIFI calling back! Amazing.

The ROM is super customizable, and just runs great. Keep up the good work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zibiss:
I do not understand why this ROM has a rating only 3.75. Why ???

For me it is extra. It gives so many options to choose during installation.

Just for anyone wondering THIS IS AN OFFICIAL ANDROMADUS ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] astriaos:
I have a buddy runtesting this and he is saying it is actually functioning as advertised. Additionally, you've somehow managed to tweak the browser so webkit isn't busted as heck which is nice.

I'm gonna probably get around to testing this in a week or two but for the time being thanks for actually having an informative OP with clearly defined addons, and honesty about the roms abilities, bugs, and the like. I can't begin to word how much I hate it when someone says

Bugs:

Camera,

you tell me.

That's a cop out and awful as I am sure you can agree.

Edit: "I do not understand why this ROM has a rating only 3.75. Why ???"

Humans are petty, vicious creatures.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
One small feature request from my side.

Long pressing next button on headset usually fast forwards the playing track on sense roms but this doesn't work on this build.

Either single or long press switches the playing media to next.

Please implement this feature as it comes very handy while listening to music while walking or jogging.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
I'd use the camera button for music control :S

-----

Anyhow, this ROM blitzes! And the new shortcuts in the status bar are great too! I now have a tap to tweet button like the iOS users ( I really liked that in the iOS 6 beta ) but it's a little slow, but that's forgivable.

Today I'll check battery drain, but it seemed quite awful yesterday after I installed the ROM ( you know, probably doing the regular caching, mediaserver stuff and all that stuff that I don't know about ).

Now as far as I can see, no lag, however the only graphical glitch I got/keep getting is the flipped transition. But that doesn't really bother me. And running this with the Nokia Pure font is just beautiful ;)

And I'm not sure if the behavior is supposed to be like that, but the Quick Torch function switches off the LED as soon as the power button is let go. I thought it'd stay on. No issues though.

And I do like the new boot anim. Dope stuff.

And I think I may have an issue here. I keep a Telemarketer contact which sends all calls to voicemail ( which doesn't really exist here, so I set it to the number that it goes to when the call is busy or waiting ), but I just got a call and it came through to my phone ( else it'd just be disconnected without me even seeing it )..

And how do I get rid of the debugging enabled icon? I believe in ICS it's a build.prop thing right?

Anyway, I'll post more thoughts later. Not had an issues with lag or anything so far, but lets see.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
I have been seeing this for many many weeks. I, too, have a Spam contact into which I push in new spam numbers as and when I get them. It used to be that in CM7, the send to voicemail worked just as designed. But that has not been the case with the ICS ROMs. I tried splitting the 100 numbers across 5 spam contacts, thinking, perhaps, that the large quantity of numbers was the issue. Finally, what resolved it was the Root Call Blocker app. The free app lets you block only one number, but luckily, it lets you block one group also. I grouped my 5 spammers into a Spammer group and now it works perfectly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
I didn't have this issue on B4.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
It would be a toggle launched on conditions. 1) Play/Pause music when music app is active 2) Launch camera app. Something like that, not just a changed functionality for the camera button :)

I know it's different depending on which apps you use or have installed, but I actually get excellent battery life. It will be identical to Audacity/Flinny's test builds as it's the same framework core and kernel.

Yea I wanted to base the functionality on what AOKP offered. Now, I don't know what AOKP's Quick Torch feature does exactly since my knowledge of it is kinda limited to asking in their IRC channel, and scanning over the code briefly to see but I was under the impression it lasted while you held down power.

I originally had it actually toggle, but the problem with that is if you turn off the screen then hitting the power again will not trigger Quick Torch. I *could* add a check for screen-on power long-press that would suppress the power options dialog and instead re-toggle quick torch though. Not a bad idea I guess, something to keep in mind.

Not sure about the calls to voicemail issue. Maybe someone else can chime in on a solution or feedback on if they're experiencing the same issue.

Try: persist.adb.notify=0 in your build.prop to disable the icon. I haven't tested it, just got it after a quick google search.

Thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated. Hope you like the ROM & I'll be improving it moving forward.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shapr:
I would use that. Also, I would like to see the battery power mod that let's me have the remaining charge represented as a line across the status bar.

Also, great work on this rom. No relevant complaints here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
Good idea, i would definitely use that.

I would like to thank you for this rom, its awesome and the best rom i used on my desire z so far!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dxaxn:
Hi everyone

First I'm really sorry for my noob questions, but this is my first ics rom ever. Passed installation process right now and its so nicely done. Thank you. My problem is that I'm not able add contacts from sim card. Im just getting screen no contacts found. Went back to my previous rom to find out that contacts are luckily still there. I think that I overlooked some settings but no luck to find it. Another question is do I still need use ghostlysms to be save or losing sms is not ics problem? And if I will have some grafical glitch do I have to restart phone or is there something easier? Thanks a lot for answers and sorry for stupid questions and my english...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I have very little experience w/ contacts from a SIM card, so I apologize for that. My understanding is that you have to actually import them (People -> Menu -> Import from SIM card) I believe the People app is what's displaying the no contacts found message. As for vanishing SMS messages, I've never had that issue in ICS myself so you should be free to use any SMS app of your choice.

The graphical glitches are a somewhat minor annoyance at this point. My method of dealing with it is I have 'Kill app back button' enabled (Settings -> Developer options) and I just hold back to kill the offending app. It happens so rarely for me these days, maybe once a week, and I think the apps even fix themselves over time now. You definitely don't need to reboot though, in fact, the issue seems to pop up most commonly after a fresh boot or ROM flash.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magno23:
i wasn't able to try this rom because every time i installed, it got stuck in bootloop
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
You're gonna have to provide more info. I assume you did a full wipe? Are your partitions ext4? Can you use logcat to see any error messages? Which ROM were you coming from? I assume you're using the stock kernel?

A bootloop after a full wipe/flash is abnormal & likely caused by something outlying you either did or didn't do to trigger it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darrenkellum:
+1 on this mod. Used to use it on the Virtuous ICS rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dxaxn:
To blk_jack

Yes people app just can't import any contact and giving me that message. And I didn't find any way how to save number to sim. Can someone try import for me pls? And btw thank you for your super speed reply... you are legend...

One more problem for me is with xda app. I lost thanks button somehow. So thank you this way...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chan1628:
ok, that makes sense to me.... but since we're on the topic of memory.... what about the Setting -> Performance -> Memory Mgm't settings?

is there anything in there that would help? I've read here & there that zRam doesn't do too much.... but I have checked "Allow purging of assets" and "kernel samepage merging".... is that ideal or what?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Having low memory slows down the phone. Everytime. So having more free ram is actually better for our phone.

Yea, Mimicry 1.1.2 should have fully functional wifi tethering. It was only an issue with 1.1.1 if I recall correctly :)

Also! I've had an IRC channel for awhile now exclusive to Mimicry. I've only told a few people and haven't made an effort to promote it whatsoever but for those interested or keen on learning what's going on with Mimicry, please visit #mimicry on freenode.

There are a ton of native IRC clients available, but if you'd just like to drop by to chat briefly you can do so by using the Freenode web client [link] or the Firefox extension [link]. Also IRCCloud looks amazing [link] but it's a closed beta right now and you have to "apply" first. No idea if IRCCloud's process is quick but people have been singing its praises so.. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Do u think the ics update for the htc design 4G (qualcomm s2/8655) will help out the 4.0+ roms for our phone blk?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Likely not. Qualcomm already released ICS compatible libs for our device. I believe it's other ICS code rather than the blobs themselves that are causing the majority of issues we see.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Had to +1 you to get you away from the 666 in your thanks meter, lol. But ok, I thought it'll help a bit more. And do you really think its some of the ICS code? Hopefully JB will work wonders on our aging device. It's killing me waiting for the next Mimicry update, and the upcoming JB rom (next month?).

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Alright I seem to have an issue. I finally got a 3G plan and interestingly, every time the phone switched towers, I would lose the data connection and wouldn't get it back unless I toggled airplane mode on and off and toggled data on and off. This was really bugging me since I wasn't getting the connection back after say, I parked in my underground garage, or I was in the hospital ( bad reception there, even for EDGE )

In the testing menu, my phone was set to WCDMA preferred, and I switched it to GSM Auto ( PRL ). I also reinstalled the ROM without the updater.

I know I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what it is. Is GSM Auto the ideal setting? I'm on the latest radio+rcdata and I also wanted to know if the build.prop edits would be adverse for my carrier ( as in, some limits or whatever would be enforced messing some stuff up ).a

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Ask a bit later today on IRC & I might have a test build to give out ;)

As for JB though... I can't say with much certainty. As much as a lot of the "big" features are almost done or they are being developed quickly, there are likely going to be a lot of smaller issues (like what we have for ICS currently). Right now the testing is focused around providing sheer functionality and there is still a lot of polish left to do. So.. it's very difficult to say since we lack proper QA at this stage. An early alpha could come soon depending on the feedback from Flinny's test builds, but I couldn't give you an accurate estimate on when to expect a CM10/JB ROM on the same level as ICS.
