Reboots or hot reboots? I've had my phone on for 9 days now (since 1.5.0 without rebooting) without slowdown, or any sort of reboot at all. If it's an actual reboot, beware that it might be a loose battery. I had those until I put a folded up subway transfer on the top edge of the battery making it tighter against the contacts.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tarroyo:
Hot reboots, the only time I'm seeing these reboots is when minimum cpu is underclocked to 300 mhz or lower. Overclocking to a higher speed fixes these issues

Bluetooth

Just to report. My Bluetooth car unit HF-310 worked normally on yozgatg's Gen Y vision 4.0A (4.0.3) rom. Must be a software issue the (likely coming from CM 9), not hardware. I set CPU to ondemand and have it lowest at 368, max out at 1208 Mhz. :confused:

I'm seeing a large boost in performance and free ram after disabling supercharger. Anyone else?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Unnamed Time Lord:
Same.

Also I am having an issue with speech to text when using the messaging app. Most of the time it simply does not want to work. Kinda annoying to say the least..

does anyone have problem with sms app? i can't receive sms
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] goister:
I'm getting major lags quite often, usually in the browser and yesterday I noticed in maps. The phone would just plain turn unresponsive for a few minutes, even hardware buttons don't work. This makes the phone seriously unusable as a daily driver. I've factory reset before, I think when I installed 1.3x, but since then I've simply flashed.

Thinking of doing another full wipe and reinstall of 1.5.0. Is there anything in my sdcard I should delete as well? Before I moved to mimicry I ran V6 supercharger on CM 7.2, wondering if the integrated V6 supercharger in mimicry is using the old settings in the sdcard? Should I wipe those as well? If so, what files are they?

Really like this ROM other than the lag issue. I don't wanna have to go back to GB!

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Sheikmans:
Lag? This version is as smooth as butter and I use this phone 18 hours per day :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Roolio:
I've had bad experiences with lag with supercharger in the past, so I don't install it anymore. This rom is quite smooth without supercharger and zram disabled.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DooSHeK:
So you are saying that when not using supercharger you have performance boost? I have some annoying lags too and would to try this but don't remember how to disable supercharger. Is this possible to disable without reflashing whole rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
Yes. Go into recovery and reflash the zip, you can choose to just manage the "tweaks" rather than re flashing the whole rom.

hello,

the default email client for corporate/exchange, does it include the settings for peak/ off peak times ?

i realy need that feature

i know there are other tools that can do it ... but just want to know if the default android mail clients is capable

thnx
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
It doesn't. I would look into the filing a feature request with AOSP or maybe Cyanogenmod.

Same Problem here since on 1.5.0,

I have to Reboot to get data back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Dunno what to tell you guys, absolutely nothing has changed since 1.3 that would affect data in any way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alarmdude9:
I have had the no data thing on a few different roms on a few different phones. The only common thing I have found is that the phone gets hot (I would assume its the cells radio doing the heat build up) and I normally can go into airplane mode and back out to get data back. A few times I would have to reboot but at lease for me it seems to be a hardware thing and seems to be worse if I have a case on whatever phone it is happening on.

Is this ROM stable and quick? Using the unofficial CM9 builds, it gets pretty glitchy and slow at times....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mcsmart:
Yes. For me it's been a perfect daily driver for a couple of months. If you run into issues, read the FAQ on the first page of this thread ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jef_k:
For me this problem was already there with the 1.1.2 version.

I've made a workaround by using Tasker to switch Mobile Data when Wifi is connected/disconnected.

Sorry but not easy to give a logcat of this problem, cause it happen randomly and we have to make an "all day" logcat... And of course the logcat will be about 3km long...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
From what Ive just read one page before, the "data bug" is still happening: Data doesnt work and in order to get it to work you either have to

1: Airplane mode in and out

2: It randomly comes back and works.

Sorry but that is not stable at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
This is most likely triggered by EdKeys' .19 lib-RIL package (either having it or not having it) and the radio you use. I don't use his lib-RIL package, I have the .19_M radio, and I've never encountered that issue. So it's definitely a case by case type of thing.

Also as for stability. I've had my phone on for 13 & a half days without rebooting. No slowdowns, no crashes, no reboots, no "data bug", etc. I use my phone a full 3-4 hours (screen on time) almost always draining the battery to <10% each day.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alarmdude9:
Hey just noticed a bit of an oddity. Started having apps (for example amazon app store) losing saved data. Didn't want to wipe and reinstall until I made sure the dev didn't need any data from it before I dump it.

I'm a bit confused by the AROMA options for Edkeys. Is there a way to not install Wifi calling WITHOUT choosing the "don't ask me again"? I might want to install it in the future.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Select "No".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alarmdude9:
Ok phone got wonky enough where I had to wipe and reinstall. Have a question on something I don't understand. Is doing to radio upgrade when given the option a good idea if your a tmobile customer in the states?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
It's always good to have the latest radio(.19). It is also recommended that you get the latest version of the SIM card from your nearest Tmo shop. It's free.

However, having said that, the matching RIL files for this radio are not accurate. Thus, it will appear as if you lost signal even if you actually did not and that can be quite frustrating at times.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killj0y:
I find my phone runs out of ram quickly with this ROM, g lite always gave me at least 100mb plus free regardless, this one I struggle to keep 50 free, any tips on keeping more free everything else its working great otherwise. I have only 2 widgets and am running autostarts but it doesn't seem to be helping. Any tips or advice?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slufoot69:
Hello, I was just wondering if this Radio and RIL files from this post are allready installed in your ROM? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1632482 The reason Im asking is ive updated my radio to .19 and my wifes phone still has the stock radio. But she gets reception in places that I do not. How can I fix this and still keep the newest radio .19 ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Warbuff:
Yes it does have them. Read the op for more details.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
ICS uses more memory, though you can also select V6 Supercharger in Aroma.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blackchad:
Just out of curiousity what do you need free ram for? To.... not use?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Wow, that was dumb to say. More RAM = Better mutlitasking w/o apps getting thrown out of memory. Even My GNex with 1GB of RAM throws out apps when it dips below 100MB. 2GB should be a MINIMUM in 2013.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Yea but sometimes retaining apps in memory can have a negative effect on battery life. It's usually better to have the android lifecycle kill the app as needed. When apps are restarted they're restarted with a stored bundle of data and when you have a fast CPU that means those apps come back incredibly quickly. Of course it all depends on how well the app is made, but some apps have memory leaks or are just badly coded (Facebook etc) so having those types of programs in memory indefinitely with a ton of RAM will harm the performance of your device.

That said, I run a lot of memory intensive apps on my nexus 7 & have never had any want or need for more RAM :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
I need more. I have a good amount of services running. Try using NFL.com (desktop view) and browse around for awhile. Most browsers I use (stock, chrome, dolphin HD & beta, firefox, opera) gets thrown out of memory without a FC popup. And I don't have issues with battery life with my apps until I turn the screen on, which is the main battery killer (next is heavy 3D games). So I reiterate, 2GB should be a minimum for 2013.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I just browsed around nfl.com (desktop view) for a good 7 mins and while I didn't have it die or fc (or even slow down), I did notice that site has an insane amount of flash players on any given page and I have flash on demand (though I did enable it on a few pages to watch some clips).

I think your issue is one of that site using a terrible plugin that isn't even officially supported or recommended/natively available on JB.

There's a reason it's not being made available in new versions of Android.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
I have Plugins/flash OnDemand also, but didn't click on the plugin. I should of said click one of the played games on the top of the screen (long single row) to get to Game Center. Then scroll around there and make sure the FB comments load up. It'll crash after some mintues. Or have it on one of the games, turn off the screen for a couple of minutes, then scroll/pan around again. But N7 does have a better SoC than the GNex also :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BacchusFLT:
"Volume up" press hangs up call ...

It has happened to me three times now. Volume was sort of low during a call, and I used the hard buttons to raise the volume and "plopp" - call dropped.

Can't find this in the known errors list, and I haven't enabled the option to allow trackball to hang up so it can't be what happens. I don't really take the phone away from the head while doing it either, in case there is a proximity trigger that could cause it.

Sorry for the vauge description but any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Poolman1:
Anyone have it to where when you get it all installed and flashed the Rom, gapps, and the boot.img and when it reboots it takes you back to Recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killj0y:
I'm fairly certain I did install v6. Hmm any way to check without running the installer again?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Look for /system/etc/init.d/96AndroCharger. If it's there then you have it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killj0y:
Thank you, and yea it's getting hard to do any multitasking frankly. For example I'll listen to music on any given app and afters phone call comes in it forces out the music app causing me to have to restart it, where it would normally just continue where it was interrupted.

I'm fairly certain the nexus 7 doesn't have 512Mb of ram and a single core processor so comparing the two isn't accurate...

On that note, I noticed today that flash isn't working after flashing mimicry on GB it worked awesome. Is flash supported? That might be a deal breaker atm since a lot of sites I frequent especially school uses flash.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I know I wasn't explicit, but I was referring to 1GB ram vs. 2GB ram and how 1GB for me on my N7 seems like plenty, etc etc. I agree that on the Vision we could sure use more RAM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Yea Flash works on JB. You just have to use a browser that has it enabled/supported. The stock browser does. Dolphin HD/beta disabled flash for JB. Opera hasn't enabled it for JB. I can't remember if Chrome & Firefox has it working on JB.

And I should of mentioned this yesterday. Most of the time you don't get your full RAM amount. 1/3 is reserved for the System/GPU. I believe the N7 retains most of its 1GB RAM since it uses Tegra 3 and Tegra 3 has its own dedicated memory/RAM. My GNex uses OMAP4460 and i'm left with 694MB for myself. But when I boot and everything loads up i'm left with ~250MB after the phone settles. So 2GB should be the minimum.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revwillie:
V6 SC made a HUGE difference in the usability of my phone. My G1 running a Froyo build might still be a little quicker at interactions on screen, but not at multitasking.

i usually flash new ROMs once every 6 months or so, bcz of work. So whenever i decide to flash any new ROM again, i am back to level 0. a newbie again. So plz excuse me if i ask a question here, which is way too dumb. :silly:

I have decided to flash this rom and as I was reading about v6 supercharger on its original thread, do I need to follow other steps as mentioned there ?

like do i need to patch services.jar and other steps after flashing this ROM to complete v6 installation ??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] v.a.r:
Nope. You just need to select the v6 supercharger option in aroma when you flash.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dinfinity:
Just contributing some of my findings here:

Whenever my amount of free RAM reaches 40MB (or below), everything slows down to a grinding halt. 60 MB, no problem. 40MB or below: boom.

The most convenient tool I've found that helped me determine this was CoolTool (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ds.cpuoverlay&hl=en). Not obtrusive and whenever my phone is slow I have immediate information as to why that is (I've enabled: Free RAM, CPU freq., CPU usage and top CPU using process).

Anyway, I've been using these minfree values: 7680,10240,15360,15360,17920,20480

This in combination with 96MB of file-based swap on my SD card.

Even though I run a fairly large number of background services, I have yet to see bad freezes or extreme slowdowns.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
For people w/ memory issues, the general rule of thumb is: Check which apps are wasting memory & stop using them. Of course, only report them when you can reproduce them after a clean wipe minus any things you've added yourself. I would beware of using SDcard swap, though. SDcard swap is notoriously bad. At worst it can cause lag (as zram did when I tested it) and at best it's a placebo. Swap could very well prolong bad apps that have memory leaks since it messes with Android's app lifecycle.

I'm sitting at 15 & a half days uptime without a reboot and without issues. Though I did hot reboot manually yesterday after upgrading Nova (hint: don't, it's still slow), which I think does help by restarting memory leaky system apps/services.

I'm having an issue where if I'm in airplane mode with wifi turned on (using AutoAP, no voice service, it all goes through VoIP) for a long while, let's say half a day, coming out of airplane mode leaves me stranded with no data service over cell. I get radio bars, and for a brief second I see a letter show up above the bars to denote HDSPA or whatever, but it disappears and I'm forced to reboot to gain data service.

Is this a known issue or should I draft up a real bug with log?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dwang:
I must say 1.5 has been running flawlessly. No slowdowns, no lags.

The key for me w this rom is to keep background services at a minimum and remove all my homescreen widgets.

After I did that, the phone has been running great. Usually I will experience significant slowdowns after being up for a couple of days without rebooting, but 1.5 has been running nice and fast even after a week without a reboot.

I ran flinny's jb roms for a bit but while it has improved, it still not stable enough for me. Even though its faster than ics initially, it will slowdown considerably after a while even w almost no background services running and no homescreen widgets.

I haven't tried flinny's yet, but I plan too when it's ready. Mimicry 1.5 has been so great I don't know why I'd ever wanna switch. The great thing about 1.5 has been the battery life. It lasts for days for me, but I haven't been using the phone a lot.
