Nothing I've added/done would cause this in any way. It might be a CM related issue, I don't know, you should check their bug tracker to see if it has been reported.

That said, Facebook is a terrible app, it causes a ton of issues -- beware!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
Honestly when it comes to any device with less than 1gb of RAM, it's best to avoid the Fb app. I just log in via facebook.com on my G2 and add a bookmark to a homescreen. Pretty much as good as the app, minus the insane memory hogging and glitches.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
I got a odd issue that may be difficult to explain.

Most modern cellphones have hearing aid compatibility, the TMo G2 is one of them which worked fine with my hearing aid set in t-coil mode.

The problem with this particular rom is that when I use t-coil on my hearing aid, even if I am not in a call if I bring the phone up to my ear it has a very noisy/rythemic pulse over and over again that amplifies in volume if I try to start a call, I Can hear the ringer and the person's voice faintly behind this heavy pulsating noise.

In the andromadus jellybean rom as of build #111 the telecoil in the phone works normally and I can listen to the handset with my hearing aid just fine. But with this rom I have to take out my hearing aid and crank up the volume as loud as I can just to talk to people.

@blk_jack

i just noticed that both you and flinny share the same xda status as me, senior member...

i mean come on XDA WTF, i deserve no more than senior member but both of you

need to be recognized developers or at the very least recognized contributes! i

know XDA reopened their recognized developers deal so how can we get your

staus rasied to where it needs to be?

XDA fix this issue already!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
yes I agree. But I believe that it is something that they need to apply for and not something that just happens automatically...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Yea what jspina said. It mostly comes down to neither Flinny nor myself really caring too much to go through the application process. I guess it adds visual "credibility" to your work on XDA, but I'd like to think what little I contribute speaks for itself so [not] having a title on this forum doesn't bother me so much.

Maybe some day I'll apply for it and then you guys can go "Hey I knew that guy when he was just a senior member!" ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
I can be like the hipster down the street, "I so knew that band before they were big" still, in my book both of of you, and the rest of the team, deserve the credit. granted my eyes rarley go to that spot under the avatar (just realized today)

well I guess as long as you keep up the amazing work you will always be appreciated on xda and in my book a "recogonized developer"

After restart the phone keep restarting

Hi,

I used JB ROM, but I tried this one.

I did full wipe, cache wipe and installed a new ROM with gapps. Turned on, everythink is OK, so I installed apps from google, then restarted phone and now, the phone is still restarting ... So I did full wipe, turned phone on, and it works. So I just made restart just for sure and then, phone started restarting again ...

What is worse, I used via CWM backup of JB ROM, but the phone is still restarting during boot.

Can somebody help me what to do??

Thx!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chemmerling:
I love my phone, but I also use it for professional use. One reason I've had it stock until just recently. Glad you liked the review! :)

I get the opposite, where I don't see the track pad light for everything... I did, however, install Handcent (memory guzzler) but it illumiates the LED light in the top corner on texts. It has some "HTC" functionality built into it for certain phones.

I'm going to write back Blackjack and let him know I see the trackpad light sometimes. Might follow his advice and wipe again to start over. Otherwise, it's awesome!

Side note: I'm visiting in california and I have excellent reception, compared to what the people here complain about. Up'ed to the .19 radio, and everything is great here :)

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

You are definitely right. I spoke too soon. lol. Some apps don't do the trackpad, but they do the LED instead. I like this better anyhow. :) I may still do a full wipe and start over now that I know what I'm doing.

Yea, I've been doing the app hunting on my own. Since I now have a rooted phone and a new ROM, I have been deferring tasks to my Nexus 7. Doing this has allowed me to use the Corporate Email app, Google Talk, Gmail, and a few others solely on my phone.

I didn't realize that when I started out. Sorry about that. I did go through the process of upgrading my radio from a TMO .15 to .19. That really has made a difference.

Things are quite optomized, which is why I stayed with this Rom rather than another one thats "based" off Andromadus. I just tweaked the "Performance" area within Settings for Memory just to see if there would be an added boost. It seems to run better with zRam at 10% and the Kernel sampage merging enabled. Not necessary, but I wanted to include it in my review for those that didn't know the options existed (or people new to different Rom's like myself.)

Last thing I found was that the Battery Level on my phone seems to "reset" to a larger number after a reboot. It counts down properly after it does that. Could just be another thing that is central to this phone (that I missed when reading) or that's expected.

Thanks for your reply! I really do dig this ROM. I'm usually one to not change once I'm here, so you'll have a lifer from me for this rom :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ajxx16:
You want to run a battery calibration after you flash new roms, you can a find a few apps on Tue market.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
One thing about zram, it's actually disabled in the rom so setting it to anything won't have any actual effect. As for the battery meter, when you flash a rom it wipes out the battery stats file. The only way to properly reset it (calibration isn't real, Google Diana Hackborn's write up on it) is to charge the phone to 100%.

Wireless icon showing no/really low signal strength

This could be something I have done and nothing to do with this ROM.

After running for a day or so, icon indicating WLAN signal strength goes just gray. Like it's strength was really low. I can fix it by rebooting phone and then it works for a day or few before appearing again.

Does anyone else have same problem or know what causes it?

I've attached a screenshot of the problem with Wifi Analyzer showing the real strength.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Turn off wifi, then turn it back on. Happens sometimes on CM9/10 roms.

Rear speaker instead of front speaker on voip Sipdroid / Viber

Hi,

When I am using Sipdroid or Viber, once connected the sound goes on the rear speaker by default instead of the front speaker.

Does anyone have this behavior too ?

I've search the thread without success....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
I also have this problem, but only when I connect to my school's WPA2 network. It never happens on my home WiFi network. Normally I turn on WiFi via notification power controls. But sometimes, if I long press press the WiFi toggle to enter the WiFi settings and turn it on from that screen and wait until it connects to my school network, it shows the real strength in the status bar. It is strange, and not completely consistent, but it seems to work most of the time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hezer:
Thanks, this way it seems to work. Using notification power controls doesn't seem to fix it (or work really rarely), never tried to go to WiFi Settings screen and that fixed it at first try. Maybe I was just lucky, 'cause I thought using power controls and going to settings to toggle WiFi is the same.

A potential fix for slowdowns/custom ringtones not working.

Over at the JB thread, I found this by user hendusoone

Over the past few versions (including 122), I was having trouble with some extreme slow-downs, especially after disconnecting USB storage from my computer. I loaded up the Android System Info app, and found that Media Scanner (android.process.media) was constantly using 50% or higher CPU.

A number of my mp3 files were corrupted, and causing Media Scanner to scan constantly. My fix: downloading and using mp3val to scan and repair the mp3s, then force closing/clearing Media Scanner's data.

Now, Media Scanner still runs its high CPU usage scan after every USB unmount, but instead of it running constantly, it finishes after 2 to 5 minutes. I'll continue monitoring my phone over the next few days, and will report if I find any other causes for slowdowns.

So... I don't think the media scanner/corrupt mp3 issue is a problem with this ROM (unless there's a bug in how ours is handling corrupt files), but instead an issue with Android in general. If you're still experiencing slowdowns, corrupt mp3s could be a good thing to check. mp3val can be downloaded here: http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/ and it works just fine with the SD card mounted over USB.

Note: if you use mp3val to repair, it will leave .bak files in the same directory as files it repaired. So, either delete them, or move 'em off your SD card if you're worried about space.

This makes a lot of sense to me. Some of the devs did not experience the custom ringtones not working/slow launching of the Phone/Contacts.apk. So it was difficult to diagnose the problem. This appears to be the missing link.

After I downloaded mp3val and let it scan my SD card, it found that my favorite notification tone (caffeinated rattlesnake) was corrupted, along with 4 of my alarm sounds. I was unable to repair them. So I deleted these 4 files, cleared the data for the Media Storage app and rebooted.

So far, the phone seems zippier than normal. Opening Phone.apk still takes a while, but is a lot quicker than it was before. It could be placebo effect, but it's worth a shot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d_gkal:
which kernel do you use with 1.5.0? who is the best?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
1.5.0 currently uses the 2.6.35.14-andromadus-ics-bfs kernel, the 3.* kernel is being tested in the Andromadus jellybean branch which I recall blk_jack saying mimicry's next version will be jellybean (and naturally would be based off the progress with that).

Best is subjective.

One Question, if anyone had already solved this problem.

I installed the newest rom.

->Recovery Mod(Clockwork v5.0.2.7)

->Full wipe

->Installed the Rom from SD Card

->Installation finished without errors

After Reboot the white HTC screen appers, it disappers and nothing is going on, only a black screen with turned on backlight.

I also checked the MD5sum, everything ok.

If you have any ideas whats wrong, please tell me.

Device encryption

Today I've tested device encryption and it did nothing.

I've charged the device, set PIN code and after hitting Encrypt phone for the second time Android image with cogs appeared. But nothing happened then. I pressed back and I've returned to previous screen with Encrypt device button.

Update: it seems I hit this error: Orig filesystem overlaps crypto footer region. Cannot encrypt in place.

Any ideas? Still googling for more information, but no luck.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Keep in mind that this ROM is CM9 based, which means anything not mentioned in the OP (Like encryption) behaves exactly as CM9 would.

Yep, I'm aware. This seems to be an issue 5678 in CM tracker. I've managed to encrypt using workaround there (reformat fs with smaller size) . But phone keeps rebooting after that - boots normally, asks for pin, displays launcher. And after a couple of minutes just reboots.

I don't know how to debug this - adb logcat didn't catch anything.

Thank you for advice.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:

Does wired tethering work at all on your tf101? It never did with mine. I've used wired tethering on regular pcs with the vision without issue in the past.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pantherx12:
Can confirm that tethering to PC ( Windows and linux) works fine with mimicry .

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Yepyoepp:
Wifi tether doesn't work for me. Don't understand :crying:

Any idea ? :good:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sorgo:
I understand the proximity sensor is giving only 2 values, 3,5" (10cm?) and 0" (0cm) for some near object. The purpose of proximity sensor is to know if you're holding the phone near your head or have it in your pocket. It should not be a replacement for laser distance meter. So I suppose it's not a fault.

Undervolting is a myth as far as I know.

You can use that app to set CPU speeds though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
You're right, undervolting on the vision saves between 1-2% battery life at most. Most of the time it just causes instability with random reboots and freezes.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] asp2010:
Hello!

I'm having an issue with battery drain, losing about 5% per hour with no usage at all. I only have a few apps installed, all of which are trustworthy and I have used before, so I'm sure it's not related to a rogue app. I have installed BetterBatteryStats and it shows that GpsLocationProvider is keeping my phone awake all the time, although I have it turned off in settings.

Does anybody have any idea what to do?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
Well it is certainly not normal behavior for this rom, I can plug in at the end of the day after light use and still have 85-90% left.

Assuming you successfully did a full wipe before flashing the rom, it must be a rogue app. Have you tried using Watchdog from the market?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] asp2010:
I will look at Watchdog, though I believe it will just show what BetterBatteryStats does, and yes, I did do a full wipe (it's actually the first ROM I install on this phone). I was thinking there might me a problem with the kernel (bad flash, maybe? though I did check the md5...), and if I remember correctly the Aroma installer has the option to reflash just the kernel, so I might try that. I doubt it has anything to do with a user-installed app since just underneath GpsLocationProvider it says 'Android System' in Partial Wakelocks.

EDIT: I have installed watchdog and it shows Android System with 3.5% after a couple of hours with no use at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DROITURK182:
Would like to leave a message for this Developer.

I tried to see if anybody was on the IRC, but the #mimicry isn't even listed anymore. Just a message for the Developer of this ROM, I know JB ROM's are the norm to make right now but what about a update to 1.6 and maybe put the new 3.0 kernel that was made for the Cyan MOD ROM that was made on xda, He posted source for it on his Thread. If I knew how I would try it, but I don't If your still working on this ROM let us know. Great work been using your ROM know for months..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
There's almost 30 people in the channel with conversations happening everyday.

That kernel is the Andromadus 3.x kernel by Flemmard, Flinny & fyodor. Jerl92 just kanged it for his cm10 rom. It's already being used in flinnys test builds.

I wouldn't use it in any ICS versions of mimicry so don't hold your breath with that one.

When mimicry eventually gets ported to JB, I'll use that kernel, but that won't happen until Andromadus JB goes beta.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
Hmm, might be worthy of a reflash/rewipe.

Just to share my configuration, I found flashing the virtuous OC daemon in aroma gives me amazing battery life. Stand by time is basically infinite.

Anyone with memory troubles should enable "destroy activities immediatly" and set maximum background apps to 1. Was the only thing that allowed me to open up a browser without freezing my phone. Supercharger seems very reluctant to kill apps to save the phone, which results in crashes/freezes/hot reboots very often.
