Same issue here. only works with speakerphone now, but im not sure what the cause was. all i know is now the regular speaker dosnt work (including the mic) so i have to use speakerphone to have a conversation. when speakerphone is off, no one can hear me, and i can not hear them.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mcsmart:
Are there any fixes for the delayed display of a contact's name and avatar on incoming calls? I just superwiped my G2 and reinstalled Mimicry 1.5.0 without restoring any apps or configuration files. No apps installed except from latest gapps. When receiving a call it still takes between 2 or 3 seconds to resolve the incoming phone number to a name from my address book (46 contacts, all synced through Google Contacts - no Facebook/Google+/SIM contacts).

EDIT: I've always been using the Supercharger option in Aroma installer.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MorgaNet:
I think that it is a common issue of all rom based on ICS.

If you check in other threads, you can find same feedback from other users. I think that is not possible to solve soon.

Sorry for my poor english.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Not with this ROM. I am concerned that some users are beginning to report the same issue with the JB ROM too! Is there a phone.apk and contacts.apk replacement that works better? I thought it is possible to swap those two out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] endlesstrail:
I've been noticing that it's only when I do a complete reboot of the phone that I get notified of app updates in the status bar. Anyone else getting this strange occurance?

<Edit>

Am using Mimicry 1.5.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alarmdude9:
I have seen the app update at reboot thing before on various roms on various phones. I think it may be more of a play store thing than a rom thing I even have had it happen on stock roms.

Sent from my G2 running the random rom of the day.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stranded.eu:
Yea, just rebooted and got 7 updates.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mcsmart:
After digging into this a little bit I found out that there is an XML-file missing in Phone.apk - the APK only contains a layout file for portrait mode. It would be cool if someone who knows how to create layout files could step up in order to fix this.

- mcsmart
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Interesting. This is the first time I have heard about this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mcsmart:
All I can say is that in CM7 the Phone.apk contains a file called "res/layout-land/incall_touch_ui.xml", in CM9 the only file in ""res/layout-land/" is "emergency_dialer.xml".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] last_chance:
Is there any possible way to install hardware buttons mod (trackpad answer/reject) on other ICS roms?

Has anyone flashed 'Pimp My Rom' using Mimicry 1.5.0?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
truthfully I think you would get the most benifit from this with a rooted stock rom or a poorly put together rom. running this on a rom like mimicry would more likley do more harm than good. do a nandroid and try some features but I can't imagine that it would improve mimicry for the better or blk_jack would have already done it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tronmech:
Hi all, I just had the mystery volume drop on this ROM. Everything seemed fine until I noticed that I couldn't hear the GPS. Checked the system volume as per the Audacity test builds thread and it was all the way up. So, we now have at least 4 ROMs with the same issue.

I know this never happened on Audacity beta 4, but that's something like 13 builds to check for an intermittent problem. Not fun.

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
CM9 has a new feature where the volume is adjustable when you plug in headphones. It's under Settings-> Sound-> Safe headset volume. From what I gather it automatically reduces the volume to 50% when you plug in headphones.

What sort of symptoms are you getting with this volume issue? It affects all these ICS builds because they're all based on Cm9 so it is an upstream issue.

Have you checked the System volume bar? It's also in the Sound section of Settings. I've never had an unexpected drop in volume on ICS myself, save the safe headphone toggle.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tronmech:
Safe headphone volume is off, I never turned it on and it was one of the first things I checked when it started happening. I checked the system volume immediately on seeing this issue and it was maxed.

Intermittent problems suck eggs.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TpmKranz:
Looks like they are not even worth talking about.

EDIT: Just discovered the Thank Yous. At least worth that :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
As I've stated before, I'm on vacation right now for this week. I've been communicating almost entirely on my phone, so while I may not reply to everything I read, I am reading everything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TpmKranz:
I'm sorry if you felt offended by this - I didn't mean to offend anyone. I just thought some discussion could arise about that, at least some critical voices saying that it was nonsense. Any kind of reaction, if you know what I mean ;)

But now that I've seen that you have noticed my suggestion I can sleep well again :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tvdang7:
Small problem, same with previous andro roms. Sometimes when i have my AUX cord in my car and music is playing and i either get a call or a notification, right after the ringtone is over or i get off the phone the volume gets VERY high . Beyond the stock max volume.Anyone else?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Unfortunately no, just got out of the car listening to music too, didn't notice anything abnormal. Do you just use DSP or any other volume tools/EQ/music players? I'm just using stock Google Play Music with DSP.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] =JKT=:
Nothing!! DSP Manager is great, actually. It's just a process that seems locked in the memory, and I don't use it often, so I always manually delete it.

I thought maybe other people who like to slim down their rom/free up ram might ditch it too.

Edit: also, I use doubletwist, and music apps with their own eq sometimes have issues when dsp manager is also installed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iamanalog:
I'm pretty sure my flash is dead. At first i was thinking it was a rom issue but nothing seems to work for it.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Some people like me prefer the clean output of the phone ( unnaturally clean for a HTC in this generation ) so I hate the DSP Manager actually.

I have this issue. For anyone who would like to reproduce, remove safe headset volume, put on some music at 70-80% volume, pick up a call, disconnect and when the music automatically resumes you'll notice that it's abnormally high, usually the volume of the call.

Don't need to delete it. Just disable the package using package manager.

pm disable <packagename> ( available from pm list packages )

----

I'm not sure how to submit a feature request, but the carrier in the status bar would be nice ( I know blk_jack is on vacation ) but I wanted to know it's feasibility.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Doesn't FC in settings/apps work? And I usually use PowerAmp (it has built-in eq), but I haven't used it since I started using ICS roms regularly (~ 5 months ago?), plus my screen is messed up.

Huh? How does DSP make the output "dirty"? It gives u options to adjust the sound.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
It doesn't give a accurate output. I'm a bit of an audiophile so I'd much rather not have any kind of EQ on my music. So for me, the DSP Manager will mess up the flat freq response for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] travis:
Judging by the following I think, as I said, my problem must be CM9/Andromadus/Provider issue (comments 266 onwards - if not removed - are most relevant)

see: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2801

If anyone does hear of a fix I'd be most grateful!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mirko935:
I agree, I'd also like to see DSPManager as an option. I will never turn it on so it's just a constant waste of resources.

I see that the Disable option in App info is not available, is there any other way to disable it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jethro650:
Fire up terminal emulator in your phone and input

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

rm -f /system/app/DSPManager.apk

reboot

Then its gone, although I agree it would be nice to see it as an option as I don't use it either and it seems to be always running.

BTW--GREAT Rom, first ICS ROM I consider a daily driver, not one issue so far for me and how I use my phone. Followed edkeys thread and matched up the .19 radio, rcdata and build prop and everything is running great. Can't wait to see what this ROM evolves into, gonna be one of the great ones I do believe. Thank you very much.

edit--guess it's time to edit the signature lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mirko935:
I didn't think it was that simple, thank you.

One more question, though I'm not sure if it's related to this ROM, CM9 or ICS, hope no one will mind. What do different colours of the Wi-Fi icon in status bar mean? Sometimes it has gray bars, and sometimes they are red (my theme has red instead of the default blue) and it seems to function the same either way. Does it mean anything, is it a meaningless bug or what?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Change in color means a connection to the Google servers is established. Gray = no connection, and Blue/Red/White ( I use the outline theme ) means you're connected to the servers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
There apparently was a fix in CM 7.2 RC2 here http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/13322/. @Blackjack, would it be possible to use this as a patch?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ibemad1:
Why not just uncheck everything then? It won't affect anything if you disable everything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jef_k:
Yes I did. It works fine.

Phone is smoother, scrolling, etc... I've don't made bench or others, but it's my feeling about Pimp My Rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
This. The build.prop tweaks that Pimp My ROM uses are already in the ROM for the most part. There will be some differences, but my feeling is any perceived gain is simply a placebo. It's not like Andromadus ROMs just use "default" build.prop settings. They've been modified over time to provide whatever mild performance enhancements you can get out of them as well as keeping the ROM itself stable.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philosophics:
I don't believe it is a placebo because my device is running significantly faster. Before I "Pimped my rom", my device was lag central. Someone would call and my phone would still be trying to bring up the answering screen 3 minutes after the call went to voicemail. Pulling anything up was becoming a task that a sandwich would be made while waiting. I'm talkin slower than my G1.

Now, it runs as it should but then again, I've only had my ROM pimped for about 4 hours and I'm at work. Just from what little time I've had to play around with my device, it seems way more responsive and speedy. Hopefully it will be like this a week from now.

I selected to add all tweaks from the pimpin, it works better so far. Facebook isn't causing the system to crash now. A full day trial is a must to determine rather or not this is just a fluke cause the dalvik-cache was wiped or if this is legit.

Update when more info obtained.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
All builds of Andromadus are mind numbing fast the first few hours after flashing. Once you get the apps and their behavior, the slowdowns commence (depending on what apps you've got running). I can almost guarantee you that if you have had lag issues before flashing this mod, you will have it very soon. Most people jump in to write about the speed of their ROMs right after flashing, only to realize that the speeds don't hold for too long. Good luck.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bogdan5844:
I am in the same situation. I think it might be related to some temporary files adding up ? Clearing cache + dalvik usually makes it fast again for a while.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Yeah. I can't explain it - is it ICS, our hardware, badly written apps...all of the above?!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
You have apps that are causing issues. Likely memory leaks and/or excessive cpu use and wakelock. You should not encounter lag remotely similar to what you're describing. My phone running Mimicry 1.5.0 currently has a 36 day uptime without reboot and I don't suffer any lag at all. I have hundreds of apps installed and a bunch of widgets on my homescreen, etc.

The only thing I do is hot reboot about once every week or so to ensure the framework and system processes get restarted.

I use my phone at least 2-3 hours of screen on time every day, I have Google and exchange accounts syncing constantly, etc. All without lag.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
its funny how you have to keep repeating this, it like others don't believe their phone can be fast. I like you never have issues with any well made rom. I'm selective of the apps I install and when I find something isn't working the last thing I do is blame the rom.

mimicry works damn near perfect with almost never a lag unless I'm heavily multitasking with cpu intensive apps. every well made rom will be this way. if your phone starts to feel like a g1 and you are using a known stable rom, trouble shoot, get a logcat, see what you did to make it slow, search. when all else fails ask. if you believe your phone must lag after a few hours of use then you don't know how to use it properly
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JG:
I love this rom !I use it on my G2(vision) and on my MT4G(glacier) However the Glacier is from port ,But it works exactly the same .I noticed that re-running the V6 Supercharger manually makes a big difference on this Rom If experiencing any lag.What i mean by manually is because in aroma there is a option i believe ,but it didnt seem to get me 100% supercharged when i checked it manually.So i re Supercharged both my Vision and Glacier and it helped tremendously .of course I am sure it varies by user IMO..So in short if any users that complaining of Lag should look check to make sure v6 patched correctly or run v6Supercharger.I also agree that this rom hardly needs any help as it is seemed to have little to no-lag from install ,but after installing and running many apps and mods it is helpful to use v6Supercharger -Dont ask me how to do it either because GooGle is your Friend!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
I know this is completely off topic and i haven't been around here in a while, but i saw this and i thought it was worth blk_jack's attention :). Blk_jack, even though i haven't been able to use your latest ROM since i don't have my Desire Z, i've been following the development here and what you've achieved is really really impressive! Even more so, you're a very worthy candidate for being a Recognised Developer, what do you think? :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
Along the same lines of Demkantor's post....

I've been running Mimicry for several months now. It's fantastic and I can't wait for blk_jack to unveil his next creation. But about a week ago I decided to flash the latest version (1.5.0) again from scratch (I love a clean ROM flash while in between updates). This time I abandon the Facebook app. I know it's poorly written, but I always dealt with it anyway. This time I installed Friendcaster (which I've seen recommended time and time again as a replacement for the official FB app). With this single modification, and all else the same in terms of apps/themes/tweeks/etc., I'm seeing around 100 MB of free RAM at regular intervals with several days uptime. The best thing is that I'm not experiencing any of the [slight] lag I used to see. I know it seems like common sense, but for those who are posting about lag, take a good look at the apps you're running and see if you can live without (or substitute a better app) those that hog resources. It really does make world of difference. We know ICS is more demanding than GB, but Mimicry really is a silky smooth, lightning fast ROM. In my experience, it's poorly designed apps that bog it down.

I know this seems like obvious stuff, but it bears repeating...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] goister:
How does one isolate what app is causing the lag? I've had problems with stock Google apps being very laggy (Maps, Gmail, dialer). Surely they can't be the problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JG:
+1 !! :good:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
@goister

Try Watchdog lite in the Market. It's a great tool for monitoring.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revwillie:
Yeah. Watchdog is great.

If I can jump in with another performance tip....check Amazon Appstore. Watchdog kept alerting me about it.

I uninstalled it and got an immediate performance boost....I mean huge.

Long story short, it turns out that the old appstore app was not updating properly. I had 2.something and it wouldn't update to the new 4.something that fixed " a major battery drain bug". I had to uninstall and then go to amazon.com in the browser and reinstall it to get one of my "app of the day" apps working again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] albertdb:
Since I flashed Mimicry 1.5, the screen is consuming 73% of the battery, barely using it. Previously I was using Andromadus Beta 1 and that didn't ever happened.

Maybe it's a regression?

Greetings
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revwillie:
That's about what I see too. remember that the graph in settings/battery is showing you which apps are using which proportion of the battery. When "screen" uses the majority of the battery, my interpretation is that the phone is doing a great job of hibernating when the screen is off.

Try to get a feel for the overall battery life and see if it improved or degraded.

I came from CM 7.2 to Mimicry 1.5.0 and I was delighted to no longer see "bluetooth" using most of my battery.

I'm very satisfied with this ROM, but there is only one thing that bugs me. When I open the dialer and find via T9 a number I want to call, there is only option to call, but not to send a SMS. In classic Cyanogenmod you could long-press number and get option do dial or send a SMS, but in Mimicry long press does nothing. Does anyone else have this "problem" or there is a solution or way to do what I just described?

Thanx in advance.

Click on the picture instead of the number and an overlay will pop up letting you text, email, look up location, etc.

Ok so I reinstalled the ROM and said no to all the WiFi stuff. Now I can't even toggle the WiFi to turn on. So I just now installed the WiFi fix and that still hasn't helped. Is it because of the radios or what? It's stuck on saying "Turning Wi-Fi on..." but I can't toggle or change anything.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
if you noticed in the op any bug reports should also come with a logcat and more information about your phone/setup/etc. the more information you give and the more research you do on your own the more help you get from others

also looking at your earlier posts you have an older radio, maybe start there

Well, on Beta 1 the battery usually lasted 2 or 3 days, but now if it lasts 1 day and a half, I can congratulate myself.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stoned99:
Installed this rom on my wife's desire z and wow just wow! She had the Andromadus Jelly Bean test builds for a while and always had problems and it was slow but this rom is amazingly fast and her DZ sounds more responsive than ever. It almost feels like my Samsung S3. Thanks a lot for the great rom. She fell in love again with her phone after I installer your rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revwillie:
In that case, assuming all brightness settings are the same as you used in Beta1, then it is possible that some part of the screen control is less efficient. I don't want to speculate too much, but the change likely came from upstream changes prior to CM 9.1. Just curious, are you using any 'screen off' customizations? Like the one that launches the torch or camera apps by holding down a hard button?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ibemad1:
It seems this from is very susceptible to data corruption or something... I just reflashed the other day and am now getting average battery life. But before I did,I was getting impossible battery drain, such that it could not possibly be related to CPU usage from apps and could only be radio related. We're talking -500 to almost -900ma of drain. I'll let everyone know if it happens again.
