Thanks for the work, love these roms.

I am also anxiously and patiently waiting for CM10 :)

If mobile date is enabled, it means that the phone will have access to the network for data consumption purposes. Technically, you should not even be able to receive MMS now that you mention you do not have a data plan. It may be able boil down to the carrier, but you may be able to use it at the expense of $x.yz/MB and so on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ghostnik:
I am using T-Mobile USA as my carrier with a T-Mobile sim. I never have Wi-Fi connected when I am sending an MMS or receiving one. Yes I have been using Mimicry b/4 this flash. I haven't flash any other rom since I have gotten Mimicry 1.5 and that was when it first came out. I don't know its like hit or miss with sending an MMS, sometimes the person gets it right away and other times it takes until the next day.

I even did a test MMS and sent it to my self and I received it immediately so I know I can send them but when I tried to send one to my friend, the other day and they have an Iphone on AT&T network they never received any of the MMS I sent to there number.

What do you think I need to do to fix issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leikamkei:
I can't really say. I doubt a full wipe would solve it, but give it a try. A number of my friends are on AT&T and more than often I receive MMS from them promptly. I don't send out MMSs so I can't really say.

Wifi scan not working

I installed the Rom but Wifi scan is not working.

Here is the debugger output:

E/wpa_supplicant( 2801): ioctl[SIOCSIWPRIV] (cscan): -1

Any ideas what's wrong with the wifi?

Hello,

I've installed this ROM with stock radio but it failed to connect WiFi. Then, I moved off to CM7 based mod. I remember flashing 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19 radio because of said to be better perfomance/batter life. From then, I had 3G mobile data toggling problem with all the roms I tried. Today I've installed this rom again and WiFi works flawlessly but 3G toggling works randomly or I need to reboot/toggle 2G/3G/choose bw GSM/WCDMA prefferences, to sum; reset my celullar connectivity in any way.

Is there anynoe here using different radio from here and not having problems ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970809

I bough my phone without provider contract but Vodafone supplies the HTC in Turkey with Brightstar firm. I am also with Vodafone TR and I'm starting to believe this problem is RADIO/Cellular caused. 3G working flawlessly before rooting for 1.5 years with stock rom.

Here is my catlog recorded during 3G toggling on/off:

This Radio is said to be good and better than the .19 (at least in europe)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deweee:
I flashed 12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3 before reading your answer and it's been more than 5 hours, didn't experience the problem for now (with other radios it last on 2 hours max). Lets see if mine fails, if it does I will try yours. Thank you for the answer. :)

Edit: Mine gave the error again.

hello, I was wondering about the "recent app" options in the ROM

wich option would take the less memory and ressources in the phone?

is that even possible to remove that option even the basic one?(as I never use it )

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I think you're misunderstanding how recent apps works. When you load them it generates a preview and creates the views. It's not something that just takes up memory and can be removed magically for more performance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dave_id:
Thanks for the reply, what I meant is that there is a choice for the look of it... Are you sure the sense one for exemple doesn't get more memory?

Just asking...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I'm sure when it's actually running it uses more memory. It has more assets it needs to load, etc. If you want true minimalist recent apps switch t o the Gingerbread style recent apps, available in Settings.

Does hands free Bluetooth calling work on here? Im using one of the 4.2.2 builds and it does not work so Im thinking of switching back to this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
No answer?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Try it & find out :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
...I dont think formating, flashing, setting everything up again, to see if hands free works is actually a good solution. I want people with expirence to share theirs.

You tell me if your ROM is good with Bluetooth hands free connections.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
Wow... you know I see you constantly demanding and complaining on these forum, you do realize these developers do a ton of hard work to make a good rom and moreover its for free, no money, no nothing

I've watched people try and help you with a whole slue of issues and you rearly even thank them, usualy you get snappy and complain to people trying to help.

I haven't seen you add any contribution to xda to date only complaints about everyone here, be it the devs or people trying to help you, you really should at least pretend to be greatful and do a little research your self, maybe put some skin in the game and test a few things out, your complaint just now of not being worth testing? Sereiously it takes 5 min out of your busy important day to back up and flash a new rom... don't expect everyone here to get their hands dirty for you, test, if you don't like restore... seriously though if you were just a bit more gracious and at least at like your trying to figuring things out on your own people would be much more willing to help you in the future
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Yea of course it's good, it's flawless. Flash & try it. Not that creating a nandroid backup, flashing a new ROM, booting up & trying bluetooth right away requires more than 10 mins though. Something you could've tried & tested in the time it takes to drink a coffee instead of waiting days for this answer.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] knighToFdemonS:
Is there coming an update somehow?

Constant loop of restarting...

I rooted my htc desire z, installed mimicry, performed a wipe and my htc ran well (just a few lags and unexpected terminations) for a few weeks. Unfortunately, suddenly, it is in a constant loop of restarting.. It starts up to the screen where I need to put in my pin code, and it restarts again. The only thing I remember changing is the mobile connection, to save battery, from 3G to 2G

I performed a full wipe (also wiped dalvik cache), but it didn't solve the issue.. Could this issue be caused by the rom? The battery is fully charged.

Edit: It's bricked :/ I installed another rom (wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, install ROM, install Gapps), Jelly Baby 1.3, and the problem persists. It starts up till about the screen where you need to put in your pin code, and then it restarts. Over and over again. Recovery mode etc. work fine

Edit2: It's recovered again ^^ I used this solution

Can I use flashable zip link from link to scale down freq from 1.2GHz to 1GHz?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Reflash the rom and make sure virtuous oc daemon isn't selected. Then you can use the performance settings to adjust frequency.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mikronac.ns:
So I can't scale down freq to 1GHz from 1.2HGz with flashable zip or remove Virtuos OS Deamon with flashable zip? Must do a reflash? :rolleyes:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deweee:
Thank you for your answer but your explanation doesn't make any sense and I am not going to do fresh install just by your comment. I MD5 verified the zip and using 4EXT recovery to flash the rom, so I don't think any reason to flash it again.

Thanks for Amazing ROM. I am using it from last 12 days, I had tried many sense ROM but after installing my all apps the phone is really become slow & I don't care much about sense I just want my phone fast and in your ROM my phone never hangs.. thanks for all mods :good:

FN indicator

1. Is there any chance to show FN indicator in status bar? That option was available under Sense ROM.

It is useful when I know if FN is pressed once, twice or it is not pressed at all!

2. Mobile data won't connect after losing Wi-Fi connection. I must reboot phone to connect on 3G. :( How to fix this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
Hey I just wanted to drop by and say Thankyou!

Started using your rom after a long break. Our DZ is not a bad phone, its just that every other service available on the play store has grown immensely in resource consumption. For example Facebook app has grown from 1.7MB to 28MB( WTF?) since I bought my DZ.

Anyways I noticed a weird issue with the Phone app. It has its own mind about whom I frequently call.

Here's a screenshot. I've included my entire call log for 3 days(flashed 3 days ago).

Having an issue where Bluetooth audio disconnects, and i have to switch back to speakerphone/phone and back to bluetooth for it to pick up again.

I have isolated this to happen when Cell signal changes from 3g> edge or spotty reception.

Using a plantronics Voyager Pro+

Have experienced this issue on both Audacity4/5, and now Mimicry

Full wipe and install on both occassions.

Issue is nor prevalent in the Flinny Test builds

Anyone experiencing the same issue?

Any fix?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
I believe the cursor changes subtly to indicate that you have pressed FN.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fuzzo83:
Thank you for this great ROM! It's very very fast and responsive :good:

The only thing i've noticed is that in my Desire Z with Italian hardware keyboard, the FN+SPACE function doesn't make the preceding letter accented, but only add a grave accent before.

Example:

[Original] a + FN + SPACE = à (1 char, and the same with òùèì)

[Mimicry] a + FN + SPACE = a` (2 chars, like e` i` o` u`)

It's always better than nothing but if you can tell me where have a look (keymap file? something else?) i promise you i can try to make the keyboard behaviour as designed.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mikronac.ns:
Hm, you says to me that i must try every time is FN pressed or not? Funny...

There is no indication that is FN pressed...

Supposedly the BT headset disconnect issue is a known bug on 2.x kernel ROMs. I had to switch to another ROM to get rid of the issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
I'm using ext4 on my sd-ext partition, but I don't use Link2SD instead I use the sd-ext enabler I built in my signature which if there is a sd-ext partition on the SD Card it'll use it and link /data/app/ to /sd-ext/app/ (and moves the apps there if any exist in /data/app).

Assuming we're talking about the same thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fuzzo83:
Yes we're talking of the same thing. I'll try this solution... Thank you very much.

Now i've another question: at installation time of this Rom, Aroma installer asked me to choose from different boot animation.

There is a way to change it with another without a re-flash?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Reflash. Aroma will detect that you've already installed the ROM and present you with a new set of menus and options specific to changing features and such. Remember, reflashing the ROM isn't bad. Nothing gets erased.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fuzzo83:
Perfect, it worked. Thanks!

Hello, thanks for this great rom :laugh:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fuzzo83:
Found an intresting thing about dead chars!

By reading this i found that the dead chars are "composed", so you can type the following:

[Mimicry] FN + SPACE + a = à (like it should, and works also with è ì ò ù and also with È)

It's wonderful :laugh: it's only just "inverted" rather than the default original (more intuitive) behaviour (letter-to-be-accented + FN + SPACE)!

Theres a bug, I dont know if somebody find this, so I will post it here:

If you want sent a MMS with recorded audio file (there is a option in standard SMS/MMS application) then android will open application to record something, but problem is that application cant record anything - It will show that you recording, but after that file is empty (without any sounds).

Someone could check this on another device?

I hope that mimicry ROM will be updated once again, because some little bugs could be erased (oh, I wish a black sms and contacts theme), then this ROM will be even better than now... Maybe best of the best...

EDIT: Problem with voice recording seems to be a general problem in mimicry 1.5.0 - In a Ringroid application if you choose "voice record" button situation will resemble the previous with MMS, microphone doesn't working.

Hi i'm using newest version of ILWT CM7 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242480 ) now and would like to try this Mimicry ROM. Do i need to do something more than just installing this ROM in Recovery mode?

:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
The first few posts should say, but I would say:

1) Make sure you use 4EXT Recovery (an installer apk [recovery updater] can be found here : http://4ext.net/ if you are already rooted)

since that's going to make your life a lot easier using that one instead of clockwork mode for any ICS or newer rom

2) Make sure you backup your ILWT CM7 installation by using the recovery's backup feature to save it to your SD card, just in case you need to factory/reset/delete and reinstall.

3) In most cases you only need to goto Wipe/Format in recovery and do a factory reset and system format, and then install the Mimicry Zip via Recovery (which has a lil installer you can follow).

4) In some cases you may need to actually format the /system partition as ext4 (which is where the 4EXT recovery comes in handy for being able to do that easily).

In terms of the options. If you don't use T-Mobile don't bother with T-Mobile Wifi Calling as it won't work. If you don't have the *.19 radio (note my signature) or don't know, also don't bother with the T-Mobile Wifi calling as it won't work on the older radio version. Other than that, have fun.

Please don't shoot me down in flames but I'm looking for the fastest rom for my Desire Z.

Currently running Revolution HD 7.0.4 (fastboot off) which was flying at first but now my phone is very sluggish.

Is mimicry the fastest one out there?

Thanks

:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oVeRdOsE.:
yeah, one of the.

You can just do a dirty reflash from your 7.0.4 time to time.

Even mimicry after some week can come sluggish.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chem23:
Dirty flashing? Sounds great :D Never heard of that term before when it comes to phones.

How do I go about doing this? Is it just wiping cache, wiping dalvik cache then reflashing the ROM?

If so, would i retain all of my apps and data?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oVeRdOsE.:
At least is the term used by team venom, from their ViperZ rom.

Yes, you have to flash cache and dalvik if you want. Do not wipe to factory reset.

Do a backup first.

And yes, the rom should be the same as before.

If you ever flashed any zip with the recovery (i.e. swap, kernel, mods) , you'll have to reflash it again.

But all the saved game, data or sms, will be there.

I dont remember if wifi pass get wiped, I dont think so. :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chem23:
Thanks oVeRdOsE. Will do it later and let you know how I get on :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chem23:
The dirty flash has certainly helped. A lot snappier opening apps and menus now.

Just a couple of widgets needed reapplying but no big hassles.

Gentlemen,

As I mentioned a few pages back, I've just released my fork of Slim Bean - Andromadus Slim Bean. The initial release is an identical version of the regular Slim Bean build 6, except with a bunch of modifications specific to the Vision.

Changelog:

First 4.2.2 build released for vision!

Vision: Camera key added to rebindable hardware keys/long press lockscreen actions

Vision: Toggle for hardware keyboard LED to remain lit when keyboard open

Vision: QWERTY keys now wake device

Vision: Added asswax/lulzactive/smartassV2 to Andromadus kernel

See the official SlimBean build 6 changelog [

here

]

It's missing a few features from Mimicry (namely the longpress power torch, something I'll be working on in the near future), but it has a ton more and is, from what early testers have told me, a performance improvement to Mimicry. I'm not saying you necessarily should/need to switch ROMs. If you like Mimicry then by all means, please continue using it -- but if you're interested in testing something new that's along the same line, and will be regularly updated (at least until 4.3 ;)), give it a try.

This post was created and transmitted completely in analog.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
I've been running this ROM for a few weeks now and there's two lingering issues that I haven't been able to sort out.

First, and not that bad, is that switching from WiFi to mobile usually fails and requires me to toggle Airplane Mode on and then off again to get my phone to connect to the mobile network.

Second, and more of an issue, is that I often don't receive peoples SMS/MMS until I reboot my phone. I've deleted all message threads thinking that it might be a memory issue and it still happens.

Anyone have any ideas?
