Has anybody tried the new Nova 1.3 beta launcher on this Rom, it has quite a few improvements including memory and performance improvements.

i wanted to try it but i don't know if any changes have been made to the launcher in this rom, is it a bad idea to try Nova 1.3beta6, i am using mimicry 1.4

how do i go about it, can i just flash the NovaLauncherUpdate.zip in recovery.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1389071

anybody else using the new Nova beta what are your observations.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I use Nova myself but have not included the new versions in Mimicry because I found they were much less smooth than the latest stable. I've made a few posts in Kevin's thread about it, but so far no answer.

You can always give it a go to see for yourself, though.

No one experiented randomly reboots after a call? My phone just reboot and than appears a messages that says that my sym card has benn changed and the devices needs to be restarted....

Stefano/Zofox
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
That's your phone hot rebooting. It does that when there's an out of memory issue, or if a system framework/app crashes. I can't help you unless you provide more debugging information and a logcat.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heisdnice:
one major issue i had in 1.4.0 was that in landscape mode, when a call was coming through, it wouldnt show the name or photo for the person.

has that been fixed?

also,

system settings -- Lock Screen -- Weather

when enabled, i still see no weather widget on the lockscreen, am i missing something?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arpitnathany:
Thanks if its less smooth then i'm not touching it.

btw which beta version did you try beacuse the latest version has some performance improvements according to the changelog.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] roubi:
You have to activate:

system settings -- Lock Screen -- screen security -- show widgets before unlocking

I hope you find it - I tried to translate my german settings...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
This is a CM9 issue that I believe stems from the fact that we're able to force portrait w/ the keyboard. I think the thing is that there's no proper layout files for landscape so the interface you see isn't drawn correctly. Look at their issue tracker & file an issue appropriately would be my suggestion.

I try all the Nova versions as soon as they come out. Ever since the merge w/ the JB code base things have been laggy. I've tried wiping data, reinstalling, etc. No dice, still lags. On my Nexus 7 though the latest Nova beta runs fine. Makes me sad :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heisdnice:
thanks that worked perfectly.

ok good, at least im not alone in this issue.

thanks for your suggestion.

where can i go to submit this bug?

because on the CM website the only supported versions are 7.2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I'm not sure actually since CM9 is wrapped up and CM10 is still pre-beta so they aren't accepting reported issues yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ponury666:
Some time ago I asked about a feature to prevent opening keyboard to unlock the device in my pocket. Any news upon that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
It's something I'll look into once the JB ports are further along. Right now we're still working on getting the basic Andromadus features into the ROM, so I haven't looked into any new functionality yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] awch:
I'm having an intermittent problem that I've tried to look into, but am not even sure what to search for. I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction based on my admittedly confusing description...

Every couple of days the blue signal bars turn white and I have no connection. These aren't the dark grey bars that show signal strength, but white ones that reflect actual signal strength and indicate when my phone is trying to upload or download. So, instead of having blue on dark grey bars, I get white on dark grey bars and can't call or access data. The white bars show a pretty strong signal and indicate that I'm on the Bell network. Does this make any sense?

I had this same error on the previous version and reboot didn't fix it. However version 1.5.0 came out and I updated right away. It's happened to me twice since the update and both times it was resolved by a reboot. I'm on the .19 radio on the Bell network. The first time it happened I was on an older radio (sorry, not sure which one)

I'm happy to do any wipe and re-installs needed, but it's happening so infrequently that I'm afraid it could take me some time to determine the actual fix.

Other than this annoyance, the ROM is fantastic!!!

Thanks for your patience!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
It turns out that the matching RILs for our phone are not accurate. From what I understand, your signal should be fine, it's the display that is botched. you can verify this by getting an app that displays signal strength in dB.

However, having said that, I recently moved to a new apartment and I too noticed the behavior you mentioned. There are some spots in my place where I cannot make or receive a call while my wife's phone has no issues and we are both on Tmo. So I am not sure what to do. I have been wanting to flash the previous version of the radio to see if that fixes things. I haven't gotten around to trying that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wheeliest:
This rom is awesome, one reason I didn't switch to ics was because cm9 didn't have track pad unlock. I'm happy it does now and the transfer is quite easy now, a long with new features to turn on torch with the screen off and get to the camera also when the screens off. One tiny complaint I do have is I do wish .com/www. Button worked normal, and ALT + Delete would clear one whole line of text.

Other than that thanks for all your hard work making this rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] endlesstrail:
Hi. I'm wondering if it's possible to create a shortcut in the lockscreen to switch profiles.

I've tried to set one of the slider shortcuts to an activity, but I can't find any items from the activity picker which sounds remotely close to what I'm trying to do. I'm guessing that it's not possible, and the only way to switch profiles would be to unlock the phone and hold down the power button?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
Hey all. I too was having problems with slowdowns and system freezes on Mimicry recently. However, when upgrading to 1.5.0 I did so after a full wipe and after 4 days this ROM is running as smoothly as the day I installed.

So, for anyone experiencing slowdowns/freezes, use TiBu to back up your apps and do a fresh install. It literally fixed all my issues. I know this info is in the OP but I figured a reminder couldn't hurt.

All that said, blk_jack, please continue these awesome releases because your work is much appreciated!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] deckoff:
I have restored some settings to a phone witht Titanium backup. After the restore process the wallpaper will not change - if I set a live wallpaper the wallpaper will be active, but standard wallpapers even applied, will not be set.

I suppose that the reason for this either TB or some other program has set root ownership to a file that originally should not have it, so apps with user permissions cannot set the wallpaper.

My question: How exactly is the wallpaper set - a picture file is copied to a specific location or a location of a file is written in a specific config file?

What is the correct ownership of the file?

Hi,

I have cheap tablet with Android 4.0.3 (cpu arm cortex a8).

Unfortunately I have only one host mini usb port + adapter (mini usb - usb with host usb). I'm trying to connect devices by :

hama usb 2.0 hub (bus-powered)

unfortunately only first connected device is working properly next devices are not visible for the system. Is there any way to add drivers/software to use usb hub on android?

2nd question is that i'm trying tu run usb bluetooth v2.0 class 2.0 with BlueTerm software installed - but nothing works.

Which software/drivers are compatibile with usb bluetooth v2.0?

or chich usb bluetooth version I can use with BlueTerm??

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vvviii:
Now I'm in the situation that hub is working - I mean that when I connect external keyboard, pendrive - it's ok.

But.. when I want to connect 3G modem it works like that:

- if other devices are connected to hub before 3g modem, they are working correctly, usb modem receive power but cannot log in to the network.

- if 3g modem is connected as a first device (rest of the ports are empty) 3g modem connects with the network but if I try to connect any device more, those devices are not working..:(

Also still I didn't found sollution no my BT problem:(

Do you have the stock video player installed? Try installing ES File Explorer and MX Video player. The next time you click a link it should ask which one to open it in, those can both stream videos.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Cell standby drain cannot be confirmed by all people and is related to the 3G setup, antennas and location of your provider.

Here the network show a very bad case of hopping when switching to/from IDLE (fast dormancy) which drains the battery in no time.

I'm currently running Juicedefender Ultimate beta with AOSP helper which switches to 2G when the screen is off and no data is transferred. Only issue is that you'll loose connectivity twice (3G->2G and 2G->3G) for a very short time but other than that it seems to work fine and has solved my battery drain problem.

I've been used to switch back to 2G as soon as I don't need 3G/HSPA with my S1 as it's drain is even worse, so it's no big change for me :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
i conquer on this.

i do use now 2x battery saver, which does the same thing as the juicedefender, but even before that, my battery is very well managed. I would assume that the fact of cell standby being on the top of the list when you havent been using the phone for anything else is logical to be there. That IS what will be draining the battery. I would only see the problem on those handsets that this drain is not within acceptable limits, ie, whatever people have measured as normal drain for these circomstances.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1ket:
I use juicedefender and with the latest update the battery drain is less than 2% an hour, im happy with that

Ive always found by the the biggest drain in standby being data always being on
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
That's not totally correct. Data is not what is actually draining your battery (at least it never was for me).

It's 3G not being in IDLE due to sending/receiving data, fast dormancy not being (properly) supported by the network or the network provider having a badly configured/balanced network.

If you switch to 2G, you'll find that your phone can run 2 days with data enabled if not heavily used.

Big exception seems to be Exchange's ActiveSync which is, when an account is configured (whether enabled or not) always top-of-the-list in BetterBatteryStats. But well... Exchange sucks anyway =)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1ket:
I should have typed 3g data, this single act of letting the 3g connection be managed by juicedefender doubled my battery life

Yeh i have no idea for the technical reason but managing the 3g connection makes a big difference to me
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
hmm i am not aware of the actual network causing problems with the drain issue during 3g/2g signal. I only knew that when the signal is bad in general or you get no signal at all, then the phone is wasting too much energy trying to log on to a network itself.

i have the 3g swap on my 2x battery saver to rotate every 5min when the screen is off. Its the smallest amount of time you can apply. However i dont know if im the average phone user, as i see here lots of people doing a lot more things with their handsets during a day.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demondor:
Not so sure about the 3G data thing but I'm only using the phone on wifi with data disabled and I still got the battery drain.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Wifi is another issue, especially when you have the 5Ghz band enabled and your phone hops between both. Try checking if your Wifi's channel is crowded and configuring the router to another less crowded one.

Then force your phone to use either the 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz band depending on your setup; drain should've gone away.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demondor:
Gonna try that out and will see how it goes

I'm actually waiting for my new HTC One X and I want to root it without going over htcdev and unlocking the bootloader. So I found this:

modaco.com/topic/353986-testing-rooting-your-one-x-without-unlocking-the-bootloader-windows-mac-linux/

In the comments you can see that it's not working with S-On

So rewrote it:

Download the files from: modaco.com/topic/353986-testing-rooting-your-one-x-without-unlocking-the-bootloader-windows-mac-linux/

And for Mac you need 2 Scripts.

Replace "root-mac.sh" with this

echo "HTC One X Tegra 3 Root Script"

echo "Don't touch the device or unplug while rooting!"

echo "Push files"

chmod +x ./adb-mac

./adb-mac kill-server

./adb-mac wait-for-device

./adb-mac push busybox /data/local/busybox

./adb-mac push su /data/local/su

./adb-mac push Superuser.apk /data/local/Superuser.apk

./adb-mac shell "chmod 777 /data/local/busybox"

./adb-mac shell "chmod 755 /data/local/su"

./adb-mac shell "chmod 755 /data/local/Superuser.apk"

./adb-mac shell "mv /data/tigps/aiding /data/tigps/aiding.old"

./adb-mac shell "ln -s /data /data/tigps/aiding"

./adb-mac shell "cat /etc/vold.fstab > /etc/vold.fstab.old"

./adb-mac shell "echo ro.kernel.qemu=1 > /etc/vold.fstab"

echo "Rebooting..."

./adb-mac reboot

echo "Wait until your device has booted up! Then run root-mac2.sh"

and create a new file called "root-mac2.sh" with the following code

echo "HTC One X Tegra 3 Root Script2"

echo "Don't touch the device or unplug while rooting!"

echo "Remounting..."

chmod +x ./adb-mac

./adb-mac kill-server

./adb-mac wait-for-device

./adb-mac shell "mount -wo remount rootfs /"

./adb-mac shell "mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system"

echo "Getting files ready..."

./adb-mac shell "cat /data/local/busybox > /system/xbin/busybox"

./adb-mac shell "chmod 777 /system/xbin/busybox"

./adb-mac shell "/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin"

./adb-mac shell "busybox cp /data/local/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk"

./adb-mac shell "busybox cp /data/local/su /system/xbin/su"

./adb-mac shell "chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su"

./adb-mac shell "chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su"

./adb-mac shell "chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk"

./adb-mac shell "rm /etc/vold.fstab"

./adb-mac shell "mv /etc/vold.fstab.old /etc/vold.fstab"

./adb-mac shell "rm /data/tigps/aiding"

./adb-mac shell "mv /data/tigps/aiding.old /data/tigps/aiding"

echo "Done! Rebooting..."

./adb-mac reboot

I'm not responsible for any damage. But it should work!

Can someone test it? The problem is I don't have a HTC One X yet

Need to address the developer, who ported TWRP 2.1.8.1 for ATT HTC One X. For what I was able to confirm, by going to TWRP support forum, off-mode charging is still unavailable for this device. Since battery replacement is not possible, that could present a serious problem. Anyone able to assist in resolving the issue? Any Ideas?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
Off mode charging works for me. Test it. Plus we don't have a ported twrp we have an official one.

It was ported but official team win, made it officially supported.

Mine charges for about 6-7 seconds, then it stops...

Could a re-install resolve this?

thanks. :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
Possibly.doesn't hurt to try it. But that 6-7 seconds would be enough to turn it on. Also do you have fastboot enabled the option is in the power menu, if so turn it off and try.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] proffeecom:
TWRP Off-Mode battery charging - resolved!

Thanks for the advice. This is what I did now: Starting from OS fully loaded, made sure that: 1. Debug mode is ON; 2. USB-Charge mode only; 3. Fastboot is OFF(un-ckecked); Then followed instructions from TWRP website - "Turn off your device. Turn on the device and keep holding volume down until a menu shows up. Select fasboot from the menu list. Plug the device into your computer. If you have the right drivers installed, your screen should now say FASTBOOT USB. Run the following command via the command line:

fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img

Note that you will need to change the last part to match the name of the file that you just downloaded. This method requires that you have the drivers installed that come with the HTC Sync software that are available here. You will also need adb and fastboot for your computer..."

Re-Installed TWRP, everything else works as promised, but the off-mode charging. This time I timed it - after you shut it off, it charges for exactly 10 seconds. Then the light dies. ........ but wait! I jut took a glance at it while I'm typing this, and guess what?! It IS CHARGING!

Thank you very much for your help and good luck!

Hope this sheds some light...

TWRP Rocks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
It is most likely booting into a charge state and that's why it shuts off for a few seconds.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] proffeecom:
You could be right. I don't know enough to understand everything, that goes behind the scenes, but I'm glad this has been resolved. Now that we talk about it, I remember that first installation I did using the GooManager app from the Market. It seemed as the safer option then. Now I used the "manual" method and it seemed to work better for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
In the end manual is always better, if something goes wrong you will know when, and be able to fix it easier. Plus if you don't have access to the tool you originally used you would know how to fix it.
