[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] szturchen_pl:
I've been using Mimicry since 1.1.0 and it's definately going in a good direction, great additions made, In my opinion best ROM available for Desire Z!

Thanks a lot blk_jack for this great rom and keep up the good work!

Tried reverting back to Sense 4.0 and well, it wasn't for long ;) Too many great features here.

Only issues that come to mind are with sms/mms application:

First one is that sometimes when I type in a name of a recipient letter I type in is always first - let's say I want to type in Konrad and what it shows is: K.... OK.... NOK... RNOK... and so on. But it fixes itself after a while so I can live with it.

Another issue which I guess is found in many (all?) ICS CM/Andromadus builds is not being able to send/receive mms.

I know not all users suffer from this issue but it was always a problem for me, since 1.1.0 and I've red that there are others with correct APN settings who can't send / receive MMSes as well.

Anyways finally today I was able to fix this.

All you need to do is to delete files in folder: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

- telephony.db

- telephony.db-journal (if exists)

then clear cache (app information / clear data (or something like this, im using Polish language version so don't know the exact name in English)

then restart your phone and it should work ok.

Works also on Andromadus Test builds - Jelly Bean - CyanogenMod 10 so I guess it will be good as well for other roms based on CM9/10

What are these two files for?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zofox:
if i just want to disable oc deamon, i have to reflash the rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rkwhyte2:
First off let me say I love this ROM. This is the first ICS ROM that I can see as a DD. I do have one issue. The screen isn't rotating unless I pull the keyboard out. Is anybody else seeing this or am I just missing something?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dargocitfer:
Yeah, I saw this as well.

Assuming you're running Trebuchet, there is a setting to change this. (Apparently it's off by design.)

Menu -> System Settings -> Launcher -> General -> Auto-rotate screen

It was unchecked on mine. Check it, and the screen rotates as it should. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tronmech:
My G2 is loving this ROM. It hasn't started bogging yet, unlike some of the others. This could be because I added the supercharger in Aroma.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
Where's the button to buy a brotha a beer here?!

:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rkwhyte2:
Thanks so much I use Nova but you pointed me in the right direction. It was unchecked in the Nova settings can't say as I understand why but it is enabled now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] travis:
Voicemail notification

I know that I am encouraging your wrath by disobeying your opening instructions as I believe that my query might refer to a general ICS bug, but here goes anyway;).

The ONLY problem I have with this fantastic ROM is the fact that I can receive no visual notification that I have a voicemail waiting:(.

I have searched and better searched and found posts indicating that this occured but was cured in CM7, however I can find no reference relating to CM9.

As you clearly have a knowledge of what is happening in general with ICS I wondered if you have any idea if this problem is likely to be rectified or even if anyone knows about it, or better still if there is a workaround for it.

As you can see I am on the UK Orange network and am guessing that this only applies to some providers. If I can give you any more info. about my setup I'd be more than happy to do so.

Once again, thankyou for breathing new life into my Vision.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Nice find. Wonder if they can OC the 3D part instead of only the 2D part. But he said OC'ing the 2D part will make the UI smoother. I think a small bit of Linaro is included in CM9 by now. Not sure how much.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] palmwangja:
half-press shutter button?

Camera apps are now intact, thanks!

However, I can't press the HW-shutter button halfway to focus on something...

Will there be a tweak to fix this ?? :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Unfortunately I haven't had voicemail in quite some time on my mobile plan, so this is all speculation on my part -- maybe some others can chime in if they've gotten voicemail indication working for them. That said, I believe you have to setup voicemail on the device. I forgot the specifics behind it but I believe it let's you input the voicemail number and such.

My other guess would be it could be an apn issue. Again I apologize for being unfamiliar with it so I suggest maybe searching to see if other Orange android ICS users have suffered from this and if they've found solutions.

I'm slightly behind on the whole linaro thing, but I was following it very closely when it first launched. To my knowledge the gains thus far have been trivial and no measured performance improvements have been found. The CM and AOKP teams will no doubt merge in the optimizations after they've done appropriate testing, but the last I heard GPS and specifically for our device the GPU were mucked up when attempting to build with the full optimizations.

If there are measured gains that aren't at the cost of stability I will of course include them.

The shutter focusing works great for me & I cannot reproduce this on my end, though I use the enhanced keymaps. Can anybody else reproduce this issue when not using the enhanced keymaps?

Thanks everybody for all the feedback and encouragement. I'm enjoying my vacation but will be specifically looking into some of the reported issues tonight. As I figure things out they'll be immediately communicated in here, with revisions of the ROM also posted accordingly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Baphometa:
My voicemails have been popping up as soon as its left. must be something on your end.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ostinq:
I've been running this ROM for the last few days, everything is speedy and stable.

However I do have one issue, I haven't been receiving my Picture messages. I get text fine just not pictures. Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amogil:
Nope get all my picture messages
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Almost definitely an issue with the apn you're using. Check your isps settings against it to see if mms is setup properly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ostinq:
That was it, Thanks. I had to get a new simcard a few weeks ago. Lots of problems after that. It works now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] etp23:
Somethings going on with the notifications they just stop notifying me for my text messages I hate it :( please fix
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
I'm using TelsaUnread to notify me of unread messages. Otherwise I get very few message notifications, but I don't miss any.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] desmi:
First of all, thanks for making this rom. I will try it asap.

I would like to know if this rom is easy to upgrade. For example if I install the current version and a new one comes do I need to do a full wipe? Because that is something I always dislike it takes me about 3 hours to fully set up my phone after a complete wipe.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pickx:
Get SMS Popup. If you still want status bar notifications you can make them appear through SMS Popup.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dxaxn:
In play store some of my app showing your device isn't compatible with this version, so I'm not able update them. Clear data doesn't help. Any idea what should I try now please
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
You do, but when you re-flash the ROM you will be presented with a menu of options (reinstall ROM, reflash kernel, configure mods/tweaks).

You'll want to select the third option to modify your mods/tweaks. From there you can select/deselect which ones you want and it will only either add or remove them, rather than reformatting & flashing /system.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Yepyoepp:
Fantastic ROm !! My Z is young again !!!!!!!!! :laugh::good:

network error

when i try to search network by hand it says network error.

can sombody help me ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] krkr:
one more thing:

what's the definite solution for the delay in getting caller id shown when having an incoming call?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] twelvebit:
Just to follow up, I am pretty sure I have a battery issue, the rom is pretty stable when I have the phone plugged in. I did some stress testing yesterday and it was pretty solid.

Anyone know a good supplier for Anker batteries or equivalent?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revwillie:
I had excellent performance from two of these: 1500mah from Deal Extreme After 1.5 years, they didn't last so long, though and I recycled them. DX used to sell a red 1800mah Evo Shift 4G battery cheap, but I cannot seem to find in it their site anymore.

More recently, I've been using the red 1800mah EVO Shift 4G batteries I found on ebay. One of them started giving me problems like those described earlier in this thread. The other two have been great. They were all so cheap, I didn't mind recycling the bad one.

Hint: buy two or three at a time, mark them with a permanent marker ("a, b, c..." whatever) so you can tell them apart. If one is troublesome, you can note which one it is more easily.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Unnamed Time Lord:
Alright so I am considering on going this route since its the most updated and stable as of yet when it comes to ICS ROMS for the G2.

A few more questions.

1.) Does Google Now work on the rom? I know it works with ICS quite well, but I do not know what the state is of it working on this rom. Personally I really want to use it and knowing that there is no way I can have it on my heavily modded CM7.2 I will have to make the move up to the next stage to take on the ability to use it. I just want to make sure it does work and this would be all for almost nothing..

2.) How does the App Launcher sit on the G2? I have a slightly modified version of ADW launcher mimicking the look of the launcher which with the space of the screen being how it is makes it look nice and not like its trying to take up the whole bottom of the screen (like how the holo launcher for GB did and it really looked goofy and ugly trying to fit something that looked too big to fit on such a screen. )

3.) I have seen quite a bit use alternatives to CWM, do I have to adapt to such or can I still use CWM? I am just more used to it is all..

4.) On what level is the custom ability on this? My CM7.2 was modded and changed to the extent that it looked and worked like ICS on the surface. While I may not be doing too much as I have yet to see what options are available for CM9 and higher I just wanted to know.

5.) With the camera being as it is in this rom, is it possible to still use apps that use the camera to operate without much issues? Such as translate and goggles among other things?

I thank you all in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LGS1231:
1. I haven't used Google Now so I don't know.

2. It just basically looks like a standard ICS launcher. A lot of members recommended Apex Launcher. I also think that it is very nice.

3. Yes you can still use CWM, though 4EXT Touch is really nice.

4. This ROM integrates a lot of parts from CM9, so it is pretty customizable.

5. No, there is a known problem with any third party camera apps (everything but the stock camera.apk app will probably give you problems).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Quintasan:
My haptic feedback disappeared suddenly yesterday. I did not manipulate the settings in any way. It just went away overnight. I've tried wiping cache and dalvik but that didn't help. Any ideas how to diagnose that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Try to fix permissions and then wiping cache and dalvik. Also, disable and enable the function again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eboy_gb:
Google Now works - I have it on my phone. It's just not fast because of our older hardware. In other words; there's faster ways to search or complete tasks on our phone, than using Google Now, but it does work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magno23:
i have made the translation of mimicry to Portuguese, how can try it ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revwillie:
I keep selecting the on demand governor in settings and the phone keeps resetting to smartass. What am I doing wrong ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zofox:
You've flashed the virtuous oc daemon, try to disable it, and it'll works

Stefano/Zofox
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revwillie:
Thanks. I thought I read that it could be overridden but aroma took care of it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Quintasan:
Unfortunately that did not help. Any other ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Google Now is, truthfully, too slow to be of great use on our devices. You CAN use it, but it has major performance issues. Even on my Nexus 7 it uses up a TON of CPU.

Look up videos of Nova or Apex launcher. You can customize them quite a bit even using old ADW themes, etc. That said, I wouldn't recommend using ADW or any of the old GB-based launchers w/ ICS.

http://4ext.net - It's the best recovery for Android, period. It's not available for all devices, but it is for ours, so if you're not using it you're doing yourself a disservice.

CM9 has some features CM7 doesn't, but it also lacks CM7. I suggest reading the OP since it's CM9 PLUS the features listed there. If you need to know what features CM9 has, well, that's something you should research on your own.

You can try, but I wouldn't recommend using any camera apps other than the stock one that comes w/ the ROM. You can try, but other camera apps will be prone to memory leaks & other issues.

This is not true. Mimicry is based on Audacity, which *IS* CM9. It's just as much CyanogenMod 9 as jerl92's "CM9-RC2" ROM. The difference is Andromadus ROMs don't call themselves "CM9 unofficial". Please see this post for a better understanding of what each non-Sense ICS ROM is exactly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stranded.eu:
I need your help!

I cannot Download any MMS messages! This is what I see: Short info and message size and when it expires, next to it Download button, when I press it it says Downloading and nothing happesn.

How can I fix it WITHOUT losing the actual message?

Thanks

Edit: Nevermind, for now I'm on CM 7.2, at least it's more reliable (at least for me), I hope that we will receive a somewhat stable Jelly Bean release someday.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Yepyoepp:
Hi guys & girls,

This ROM run fantastic on my Z !

EVERY THING IS WORKING FINE !

BUT I can't find Beats Audio ...

Is it possible to add Beats Audio in some way ?

I also have à DHD (Ace) and I'd love to have the same ROM on it.

May be some devs can work on it ?

Or what ROM as similar as possible to Mimicry do u recommend fot DHD ?

Thanks for all :good::cowboy:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] natabbotts:
Beats audio is just an EQ. Use DSP manager on 'rock' setting, that's the closest to beats. I recommend tweaking it yourself to your own preference.

Any CM9 rom will be very similar to mimicry. No devs will work on a personal rom port just for you, if you want that you should learn to code :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Yepyoepp:
Sorry but what do u mean by "rock' setting ? Where can I find it ?

About DHD : Just for me ????? NO ! A lot of people is using DHD !!!!!

Thanks anyway :victory:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] natabbotts:
Open DSP Manager, use some initiative. Use the 'Rock' preset.

And yes, it would be just for you, no-one else is asking for it. Find a CM9 rom for the Desire HD, in their forum. You won't find any DHD roms in the DZ forum, it has DZ roms. Mimicry is CM9, plus a few tweaks for *our device*. The tweaks are not optimised for the DHD, it's a different phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Actually, the JB version of Mimicry could very well be released for the Ace. I've been working w/ a few devs for a few devices so we may see a more widespread release come Jelly Bean!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] knighToFdemonS:
Hi

Iam trying mimicry for the first time.

I've made a full wipe and flashed as new installation, had CM7.2 before.

Running it for about 3 weeks and found several critical problems,

but i dont know if its just me or some bugs so here are my problems

please tell me if you have same problems:

1)time isnt always correct. Seems like the process for the clock is stuck...

The time on statusbar and lockscreen is mostly different. Then i unlock phone,

Kill apps with taskkiller, lock again, wait a min and unlock again. Mostly then time

Is correct but not always. So i use my phone as watch, i cant take this. Never seen

This before on a rom...please fix this

2)current app/display cant be controlled anymore. Sometimes when i switch to homescreen

With backbutton i cant do anything more on screen except pulling down the statusbar.

Then i lock and unlock screen again and it works.

3)not a problem but you only see market-installed apps in the app-management.

So its not possible to stop googlemaps process, service is always restarted by process.

And so with other apps...

Does somebody have same problems, are these known bugs? Couldnt find something

About that yet in this thread.

Greetings

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Do you have your partitions as ext4? Where's your logcat corresponding to each of your reported issues? (Read the OP!) I haven't had any of those issues myself. As for #3, did you scroll across the header to All?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] knighToFdemonS:
Ive done nothing to my partitions, should be as mimicry created them.

How should i make a logcat from clock?

Uhm i'll try to make a logcat of the uncontrollable screen

. Think i'll

Have to test the whole day to reproduce this error, occurs very rare.

To 3: oh havent seen this header. Sorry yes its there, thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Please come to the GNex! Even tho the EuroSkank JellyBro [CM10 Nightly] rom i've been using is very nice.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] natabbotts:
I stand corrected. My thinking was that our device's uniqueness (hardware keyboard) did not lend itself to porting for other devices, but that, of course, is not the only tweak :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Read the OP, it has a FAQ and in it it states that if you're encountering "lag or weird issues" to "make sure your partitions are ext4". Mimicry doesn't create your partitions, it simply wipes them when it extracts itself. I make the assumption that when people are posting issues in here that they've at least read the frequently asked questions in the OP. If you don't know how to use logcat you need to look it up yourself or at the very least post a thread in the QA section with your issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Actually, and this surprised me at the time, but Mimicry was ported by 0.0 to the myTouch 4G hours after I first released the ROM. That device too doesn't have a keyboard, but the port has been successful from what I gather.

That's just a port (of my post-compiled code), though. Ideally I'd like to put the source all online and let people whip up builds themselves for their respective devices. The biggest issue would be that I use Aroma, which does require some manual work (which I use buildscripts for), so it's not like a CM9 kang where someone else could just compile it from the repository and use Google's own build scripts to create the finished ROM and call it a day.

When I do create features that require the keyboard, I actually put in code that remove it from the menu items & such when the ROM is compiled from source & identified in an overlay as not having a keyboard.

I'm also re-writing a few of the features in Mimicry (for the next version) to make it device/display agnostic.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Yepyoepp:
Youpi ! Hope some devs use your good work to make a Mimicry for DHD :good:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Unnamed Time Lord:
Alright I have finally made the move and my phone has been running this since last night.

There are only 2 personal issues that seem to bother me however.

The first being the power control widget (not the one in the notification bar), I have not been able to modify it to add/remove/switch out the controls for other ones. I know its possible to be done and I can seem to modify the options all I want in the notification one but I like to keep those not as cluttered as the actual widget I use for all my options. Is there a way to modify the widget or is the power control widget in this unmodifiable? If the latter is the case can anyone direct me to a (preferably free and trusted) alternative for power control widget?

The second being something I noticed a few hours ago, I cannot seem to swipe away notifications in my notification bar. I was able to do this in GB and I thought it carried over into ICS, so unless there is a setting for this I might have missed I would like to be able to have this small but very well used option.

I am also running Nova Launcher, how much better is Apex, or the original stock? Does it really make all that much a different?

Thank you all in advance with putting up with my questions.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
The latter is unfortunately the case. :mad:

You should be able to swipe them without any problem.

Apex is smoothest IMHO. and very customizable in comparison to the others
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eboy_gb:
I'm using Nova as well. I find it sometimes takes a couple of swipes or one purposeful swipe (almost a long-press, then swipe) to clear notifications. I don't know if this is a launcher or a ROM bug/hiccup.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] costipl:
Actually, I've been using Go Launcher Ex to great success.

There are two features of GLEX that I got very used to - folders in the app drawer and the ability to hide icon names on the launcer screens. Which of the available launchers offers these for free? I've tried Nova, it says that the included version is trial/demo and tells me to pay if I want all features )including folders) - dafuq?
