yes
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
This is of course where something like Titanium Backup comes in very handy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mirko935:
If you are just updating Mimicry or coming from another CM9 based ROM, no. It's all written in the OP. Can't you people at least read the first post before asking questions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
No.... that would just make too much sense.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chadneu:
Mine seems to have little or nothing to do with browser, market, and I don't use titanium backup. I've had it lock and freeze then reboot while browsing xda with basically no other apps running. Sometimes it'll happen two or three times in an hour, then not at all the rest of the day.

Seems odd.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Check your installed apps. There was a user on IRC the other day who reported the facebook app causing 80%+ CPU usage. I recommend installing Watchdog to check which apps are causing the slowdowns.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shapr:
Facebook is a major resource hog. Besides that, it's performance is terrible. So, I don't know what it's doing g with all that power. I've also had the freezes. But, I noted early on that it was flash heavy Web sites, every time.

Ps: awesome update. There was a feature I requested that didn't make the list. Frankly however, I can't remember what it was. So, cheerio.

Thanks again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dinfinity:
The facebook app is indeed terrible.

With regard to the freezes (I've had them outside of the browser as well): I believe that it is related to improper OOM management + many services. During 'almost' freezes, my logcats showed what was happening:

Services were being killed over and over again only to be restarted again, causing other services to be killed, which would be restarted again until finally the launcher or other previously unkilled applications (that did not restart) were killed and the whole thrashing behaviour went away.

Removing any number of services should decrease the behaviour (also, 1.3.0 might improve matters, as it allows the launcher to be killed more easily). Alternatively, if you are fond of most of your services (like I am), I recommend using swap. It is not a perfect solution, but it is a lot better than the thrashing behaviour.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Aye, I've also modified the behavior of the other OOM groupings in the patched services.jar to be less aggressive at mostly stock levels with the exception of a few, one obviously being the browser.

If you find yourself experiencing freezing in 1.3.0, first look at the apps you have installed, second reflash without V6 Supercharger.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lonely_nino:
i came here to report a bug about missed SMS notifications. but i saw the new release and the change log about this issue.

so i will flash the 1.3.0 version tomorrow and check to see if this problem is solved.

thank you man :good:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chadneu:
Since I updated yesterday I have yet to have it freeze and restart. So there's that. I am still experiencing intermittent lag though, which isn't a big deal.

I'll give watchdog a day or two and see what it reports.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] John5788:
I noticed on the ICS roms, you are forced to use pattern/pin/password unlock screen if you are using secure credentials. Is there a way to return to the GB style of inputting a password upon enabling secure credentials and retaining a slide unlock?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] =JKT=:
Wow man. That might be the most epic feature addition changelog ever!

Thanks again for such a killer rom! There are so many features I "kinda" wanted, but not enough to ask. But now they are all there! Sick!

I noticed the only feature request not-yet-added was the ics digital clock widget. Why not just add/install the clockwidget4ics app. It looks just right. Do you need permission from the app dev for that?

How I fought the Lagness Monster

The situation:

I was on a business trip to Florida. I was trying to get back to my hotel when a monster of a hurricane engulfed me. I badly needed directions and my phone crapped out. It wouldn't launch Maps. I had to pull out the battery while driving.

The backstory:

For almost a week until that point, the phone's been acting super sluggish and many restarts when switching between apps. Switching between apps took many seconds, sometimes more than a minute. I tried to wipe caches, reduce the number of home screens, reset the Performance settings to default, everything and nothing would work.

The fix:

When I pulled the battery out and restarted, the phone began to update some app. That's when I thought it could just be the stupid Play app. So on a hunch, I wiped the data for Play and Nova using TiBu and everything is back to buttery smoothness.

Then I got to the hotel and saw that 1.3 has been pushed out. Not sure the point of this rant, but if the phone is sluggish, try wiping Play store's data. I can't wait to get back home and take 1.3 for a spin
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmaciak:
For last few weeks, since last two mimicry versions (except 1.3) my phone was extremely unusable. I did not post about it here because I did not want to bloat the tread and come with solution by myself. Suddenly today few people reported the same behavior here and also in Flinny's testbuilds JB thread. The problems were super heavy lags when sometimes only battery pull or 5 minutes of wait solved the issue. Mainly happened when I needed the phone most urgently like quick unlock, head to phone app, swich to fav contacts and then the lag.

I tried several clean reinstalls, experimented with removing applications, also with, withour ril matcher libs and with european ril libs, with/without supercharger ... but to me it seems that the solution was to:

- install this superduper 1.3 update which I dig a lot

- OOM was probably the cause

- alongside (hand in hand) with some apps mainly those which add to contacts/phone app (facebook sync, whatsapp, viber, linkedin)

- made a hard decision to give up all apps I do not use at least there and now (if someone is interested, I can paste a list of apps I uninstalled)

Now it seems that the phone is superresponsive all day, battery consumption is much better, ... I hope the new OOM and removed apps will solve this for me and I will get to the same level of smoothness as with Andromadus testbuilds or first mimicry.

After installing 1.3 (no data wipe, just caches, efs and system) I flashed gapps and european ril from OP. Right after reboot, everytime I turned my screen off and let it off for more than few seconds, it asked for PIN on next wake. I pushed libhtc which I saw in Flinnys JB testbuilds thread and it solved the issue for me. I know it is probably related to european ril but just wanted to state if someone esle will be shocked why the repetitive pin screen pops :)

Anyway, 1.3 is awesome so far. The new feature list is massive upgrade, I really like GB recent apps as they are very fast to come up. So far ultimatelly the best rom I ever installed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Midget_1990:
Exactly the same story, didnt have time to logcat due to work commitments etc so I didn't post about it.

Flashing 1.3 now so I'll see if that + Wiping play data have solved it ^^

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
This issue is mentioned in the OP and other posts in this thread. You likely need to superwipe.

I tried a SuperWipe.. Still nothing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chan1628:
After a full day of running the newest update, I can see no battery improvements.... however, I have not experience any lags either. v1.1.2 wouldn't have gone a whole day without some sort of heavy lag delays, so this update has been a big success for me so far.... thx again for the hard work on this update

Btw, quadrant score is slightly higher with this update too.... on 1.4ghz:

v1.1.2 avg about 2350 after 10 runs

v1.3 avg about 2450

It's not really the best QA method, but it's good enuf for me :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chief2842:
Just coming from Andromadus Audacity Beta 4 and I cannot get wifi to work It won't even turn on in settings it just sits. I didn't wipe at all I just flashed the rom and gapps as well as tmobile wifi. Any clue to why wifi isn't working?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Please consult the OP, there are way too many possible causes, from not doing a full wipe, to being on a different radio, etc. If you're still stuck after that, a Q/A thread is your best bet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
There's a section in the first post of this thread talking bout the possibility of wifi dying when using the T-Mobile Wifi app. (i.e.: WiFix app linked there may help).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chief2842:
Thanks and I just read that I should've read the OP thoroughly. I am re-flashing now and deselecting tmobile wifi.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
I'm actually doing the opposite right now :P I normally use EliteMod ICS, but going to attempt 1.3.0 with T-Mobile Wifi calling, and see if it works, and if not see if WiFix works, and report back here. Plus provide whatever debug information requested if the OP is still awake.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chief2842:
Well re-flashing the rom and deselecting wifi tmobile worked for me I know have my wifi back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
But yea exact same behavior for me yet again, T-Mobile Wifi Calling pretty much kills Wifi for me.

So I pulled up titanium backup, restored a couple things (... does a file manager not come with mimicry? restored that as well), and ran the WiFix manager, rebooted and.... No go... just the ever lasting "turning Wi-Fi On..."

LogCat not particularly useful, just this output any attempt to hit the on/off toggle:

E/WifiStateMachine( 1720): DriverFailedState

This is of course one of the main reasons I'm on EliteMod full time because in some areas I really need the Wifi Calling (too spotty a reception to do without).

I ran mimicry for a while and was very impressed, yet to try out todays update. I also had an issue with the wifi, just ran through aroma again and chose not to automaticaly install wifi calling and then all worked. I then used edkeys patch seperetly and wifi still worked but I changed roms before I had a chance to see if wifi calling worked, my guess it would have but well I didn't try so its just a guess

for ics roms this is one of the best for the vision (only tried 5 or 6) but for me 2.3.x is still what I need. as soon as I get some play time I will be installing the latest mimicry build and I'm sure I won't be disapointed, thanks for all the amazing hard work that went into this rom and don't take offence if I move back to gingerbread after a few days... :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Critical Jeff:
I too didn't like to stick with ics roms on my desire z either. But this build, I've been using for two weeks now, and it's served me well. It doesn't run as smoothly as cm7.2, but does have a lot of features that I like.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jef_k:
Hi,

More than 1 month of use and it's very great!

I have a question, when mobile data (2G+3G / 3G only) is running, during the day it seems that the mobile data fall down.

So every apps using mobile data doesn't run anymore.

I've checked all the parameters about mobile data, sleeping tasks, ... I don't find anything that can be the cause

To solve, I have to reboot the phone or switch between 2G+3G and 3G only, this makes the network connection shut off and restart it.

After that all apps works fine.

Do you have an idea how to fix ?

It's very annoying because I don't received my emails anymore, and this with no preventing.

Thanks. :good:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Have you tried the latest 1.3.0 version? It almost sounds like that supercharger and maybe some other stuff having an effect, as blk_jack once mentioned prior to 1.3.0 SuperChargerV6 was quite aggressive, he toned that down a little in 1.3.0 and made a number of other improvements as well as incorporating the latest source branches.

So maybe try the upgrade, and see how that runs for you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jef_k:
Thanks for your answer.

Of course, I'm on the latest version.

The problem was there with 1.1.2 and this latest version.

Is this ROM with Kernel 3.0 or 2.6 ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Would be 2.6 in that case, I'm only aware of Virtuous working on the 3.0 kernel, and some of the other repos porting some of those to 2.6.*
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heathenasparagus:
You seem to know quite a bit about this, So while you are here:

I am currently using this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1492461

Would you recommend something else a little more speedy ?

Is andromadus mimicry worth the extra effort from my current rom ? what about elitemod ?

In your signature:

SEM04G 2.10GiB eMMC - 2GB ext4 - noSDswap - 64MB DataSwap

Which of these are on the SD card and which on the main rom ?

thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Flinny's JB test builds are using a 3.0 kernel. They're ironing out the bugs much quicker than expected.

For some of us, Mimicry is worth the extra effort. The dev handling the ROM is mostly always available on IRC, is very interactive with the users and tries to implement small feature requests which are appreciated by a lot of people using the ROM here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Exactly. Personal preference. I was going to try EliteMod some time ago, but frankly, I'm too lazy to setup all my app data again. Don't want to lose all my Angry Birds levels, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
That's the lovely thing about Titanium Backup.

Simply restore App+data on the new rom, and you got the application plus all your settings and save games etc. I love it for that, especially if I want to do a clean install of a rom, and then just do a batch restore of my Apps + Data/Settings and my system settings (wifi access points, SMS, call logs, credentials, phone's android ID, etc).

Can even 'create update.zip' in the titanium backup app (can be saved as TitaniumBackup-version#.zip), so that you can flash it right after flashing the rom so you got TiB already installed when you start up the new Rom and do your restores right from there.

When i receive calls, the phone starts to vibrate but it doesn't ring straight away - and sometimes the phone app doesn't appear straight away.. i think i've only seen this on 1.3?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
This issue is with AOSP Phone.apk and affects all ICS roms on devices of similar hardware, not just ours.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
that is interesting, b/c I have no issues with wifi and t-mobile calling app. I use them both all the time (ie sometimes with no wifi-calling and others with it). I select it when installing this rom (which is my dd when I am not trying out other roms).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lonely_nino:
i flashed the new version 3 hours ago.

it was a little smoother than before an also new features are good.

i have 2 suggestions:

add the carrier name or icon in the statues bar just like IOS.

add a default file manager application to system apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
Eh, I disagree with the file manager. No need for bloat as it is just a few taps to download one in the market.

processor

hi,

did anyone else notice the following problem:

when i set Maximum CPU speed in settings from default 1209 MHz to 806MHz everything look ok at first, but then when I go back To these settings max speed in back to 1209MHZ. I really want to downclock it a bit to gain some longer battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Use the Titanium Backup feature to create a flashable zip w/ it in it and make sure you have wifix and/or a file manager backed up in TI. Easy peasy!

This is working at intended. Check the OP for details on the Virtuous OC Daemon package you installed and the effects it has on your CPU governor/frequencies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trio151:
Since installing this rom a few weeks ago i seem to have a lot of problems with my screen shutting off.

It seems like at least 10 times today Ive pulled the battery, losing count.

The LED will light up notifications but the only way to get the phone working again is pulling the plug and rebooting.

My brightness is manually set right now and my cpu range is ~300 to ~800 with no screen on or screen off animations.

My gps, wifi and bluetooth are all turned off.

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Check the cpu frequencies to make sure they're not too low, maybe try adjusting the screen off freqs to make them higher and try that.

Also upgrade to the newest version of Mimicry
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trio151:
My CPU settings are currently 368 to 806.

I updated to the new mimicry this morning, and the problem is just as bad as it was on the previous mimicry.

10 SoDs a day is crazy abnormal (I've never had one), have you tried without Virtuous OC daemon installed? Also I assume you did a full wipe?

My only wish is that the power button would turn the phone off instead of taking a picture. Sometimes I like keeping the camera active but phone off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Uhh... I think that's a feature you've enabled yourself in the Camera app. Disable "Camera Shutter". It's designed for phones w/o camera buttons to enable a physical button for taking pictures. We shouldn't need to use it since we have a dedicated hardware button for the shutter/camera.

MMS and Picture not working!

AWESOME work devs......great rom which totally revamped my aging tmobile G2!

[ROM][July 22] Andromadus Mimicry v1.3.0 [ICS / CM9 RC2] *currently using*

The only issue I have found is that my picture mms are not coming through on my tmobile network. I searched the forum for some insight and managed to find another post pertaining this issue but to no avail. I tried these settings in my APN in the post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1675006 still nothing. I need help guys on this small issue. Any APN settings for tmobile that can try out or suggestions would gladly be appreciated!

:good:GREAT ROM!:good:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Thanks!

As for the mms issue, it is an unfortunate and known bug when using wifi calling on tmobile. Currently there is no known fix. Possibly due to the libraries being made to run on gingerbread and not ICS.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dukenukemx:
Well I can't control the volume on a bluetooth device. Found that out the hard way today. Also sometimes the X that allows you to clear messages goes missing sometimes. Then there's the high volume for the ear speaker. Turn it up too loud and people sound raspy, almost inaudible. Turn it too low and it's hard to hear them. This seems to be an issue for both Mimicry and CM9 RC2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
For music I'm able to control the volume using the device without issue but I don't have any way to test using a bluetooth headset at the moment.

Hi blk_jack,

Did you have an idea why this problem happen ?

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
I did a clean flash of v1.3.0 last night and I'm loving some of the new features. One thing that seems a bit strange is the capacitive button backlight... if I'm not using autobrightness, the the capacitive lights are on regardless of the ambient light... even in outdoor (sun) light. And on autobrightness, while indoors where the light is reasonably bright, they appear to be on just slightly which causes them to look somewhat inconsistently lit... this feels a bit distracting. In my experience with v1.1.2 autobrightness worked perfectly... in fact, much better than it ever had in CM7. I imagine the capacitive backlight behavior is linked to the new autobrightness levels incorporated in this version? Perhaps there's a way to adjust in Automatic Backlight settings?

Also, I was wondering if it's possible to revert to the previous V6 Supercharger settings... it worked perfectly for me in v1.2.1. I had very-little-no lag in the last version & never missed any sms, etc.

This aside, I really love the ROM & thank you so much for all your hard work. :good:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
If you have backed up the setting, quite possibly. (I think he changed it because it was being too aggressive on the launcher).
