It actually consumes less power overall in the real world, since doing something on the phone takes about half the time. Without this option on, if I try to load up even a moderately heavy app results in the phone freezing or just being incredibly slow. I've found out (I have CoolTool installed) that if available ram goes under 30mb, the phone is guaranteed toast and you're better off pulling the battery instead of waiting for it to hot reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I've never had to limit the activities & I don't suffer from heavy lag or freezing. Make sure you don't install badly coded apps that have memory leaks, abuse wakelock, etc etc. Some system apps (camera?) etc may have memory leaks and it's generally a good idea to reboot/hot reboot once a week or so, but I've had my device on without a full reboot for 70 days and I haven't experienced what ibemad1 describes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] goister:
Yes, I've added Google Pinyin IME and it works.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Steven How:
Well,I don't want another replacement keyboard just for Chinese..its really inconvenient..but thanks..What about the Adobe flash issue?I can't seems to run flash content on website even with Adobe flash installed..any idea y it won't run?:o

Also I cart seems to activate SD swap..only data swap working... :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] goister:
I don't have Adobe Flash installed after I factory wiped(no need for it), but I was able to install Flash before without any problems other than low performance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Steven How:
I don't get wat u mean on the low performance part..I extract the Adobe flash from my gb Rom and place it here..and it just won't run any flash content in any site... :(

Edit: now finally the nightmare is over..haha found the cause the anyway

:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ibemad1:
I'm just putting some tips out there for others, because very few people I've seen on this thread have had 0 issues, and while you can blame bad apps all you want, some apps simply don't have replacements and we need to use them one way or another.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Steven How:
Is there anyway to change the service.jar of this Rom? When I try to change it says service.jar have been modified..and is there Chinese pinyin IME for this Rom? I need it.. thanks in advance:o
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] farris:
Since my last flash of mimicry I noticed an annoying thing:

When people call me and I pick up, I can hear them but they can't hear me. When they call again (or within 15 mins) they hear me perfectly fine.

I was thinking about the mic initializing bug in Android but I haven't had it in a long time, it's just from the last weeks....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oVeRdOsE.:
Well, this is happenning for me too, but I'm really not sure if its the provieder or the caller's phone.

Most of the time it works perfectly, this issue's happening maybe twice a month.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aaasey786:
Almost perfect rom. The speaker volume gets really low and ti fix it i have to call my voicemail and out it to speaker. (both with and without the audio mod)

Also the camera on instagram doesnt work.

Thanks for the support!

Jelly Bean

Will this rom eventually be updated to Jelly Bean, or will Andromadus JB be another rom completely?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
There are two Andromadus roms. Andromadus Audacity and Andromadus Mimicry. Mimicry is Audacity with new features, installer, additions etc. When Audacity comes out that's when I'll start working on Mimicry releases. As I've stated before though, a lot of mimicry's features are ported or ready for jb, it's just dependent on Audacity's development.

Though now that 4.2 is out who knows... Audacity development is starting fresh with that sooo we'll see :)

All Audacity development right now is by Flinny, fyodor and darkspadez and you can see where the rom is at from Flinny's test builds.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] goister:
I get this too, except it happens all the time. I can hear them, they can't hear me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] farris:
Hmm, you're the third one with this 'bug' now... blk_jck, can you tell us what's wrong? :) or is it just coincidence?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jevring:
Ok, thanks. I've seen the beta builds thread, so I know there were up to something. Just checking. Then I can safely stay on this rom until it happens =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] subhajitghosh88:
hello....this rom mindblowing..i want wifi tether..but no wifi tether in this rom...what to do?? help me please.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
For what it's worth, 4.2 is the first Android release where I feel Google really dropped the ball. I'm having crazy battery weirdness on the Nexus 7,apparently bluetooth is broken on everything but the Nexus 4, Lock screen widgets are incredibly ugly (especially that little bar the shows up every time you unlock the device to remind you the widgets exist), multiuser support supposedly f's up the file system, breaks apps, and slows down the device. And that one bold number on the clock? WTF?

Whereas 4.1 was a "perfected" version of Ice Cream Sandwich, 4.2 feels like an incredibly beta version of something else. I actually preferred 4.1.2.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] acg11:
My girlfriend gets this issue as well once in a while on her desire z w/ mimicry. Also, sometimes she can hear others but her voice is garbled on the other end. Happens about once or twice per week.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mcsmart:
I am also experiencing this bug. European DZ with .19 radio. Everything at stock settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] goister:
For those of you that have the calling bug where you can hear the other party and not the other way around, have you tested your mic in other apps? I found out that mine doesn't seem to work. However, I did have a successful call about a week ago after being on the line for a few minutes, so it doesn't seem like it's a hardware problem(unless it's intermittent).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
When i had my first DZ back when it came out, i got the same issue. it was a problem with the stock radio.

I would try reflashing the radio...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
Is a Mimicry version of JB in the works now that a beta has been released? That'd be awesome.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] natabbotts:
no beta has been released :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
What other beta are you looking for?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrWhsprs:
I've experienced the proximity sensor issue with my G2 (using a different ROM though). My sensor worked, then it worked only sporadically, and eventually it wouldn't respond at all. I thought my sensor was dead and I'd have to live with it, try to replace it, or just get a new phone. What fixed it for me was to use canned air and a vacuum with a crevice tool to blow/vac around the speaker grille area. When I first read about such a 'fix' I thought there was no way it could be something so simple, but it's worked for me, and worth a try in my opinion.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] goister:
How do I reflash the radio?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
I did not experienced the calling bug as I don't call much, but I use the gstring app to tune my guitar and sometimes the app doesn't hear a thing (hence the mic is not working).

When it happens I call my 'answering machine' and hang up once the communication is established. After that I go back into my app and the mic is working again... So I guess the mic can get lost at some point by the system.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] redspeed:
Im having a weird issue- when I open my dialer every time I hit a number the phone vibrates twice. Is there any way to fix this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 8525Viper:
I've been wondering if other people have this issue too, I've done everything trying to get rid of it (full wipes, fresh installs, etc) but it still happens. I'm to the point of maybe giving up on mimicry even though I love it, everything else with it is great.

For me, it has to do with the speaker phone being on or off. Like, if someone calls and I put it on speaker *right away*, they can usually hear me. But, if after a few minutes I want to turn speaker off, then they can't hear what I'm saying unless I turn speaker phone back on. And, that goes both ways too. If I start out without speaker, but then later try to turn speaker phone on... most of the time people can't hear me. This has been happening since 1.4 & 1.5, but also I think 1.3 too. It's not a hardware or installation problem.

I have a TF300T and my mimicry 1.5 G2 with T-mobile tethers to it just fine.

My Phone.apk start lagging as as described in THIS THREAD

And since 2 days i have this strange issue. When i try to launch an app it say app isn't installed (cuz it's on SD card) after unmount/mount or restart it work till next time that will happen
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] goister:
anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
This has everything you need.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lyos:
You must do this like was wrote in THOSE thread. IMHO easier option is this where you use PC10IMG.zip file.

Thankyou - from my point of view that would be terrific:)

DSP Manager is a waste of resources for the ones that don't actually use it. I don't know much about that stuff but to me it always seems like it eats valuable RAM - even though everything is unchecked.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
DSPManager is a service that does indeed run in the background regardless of what your settings in it are. I personally find it valuable and am glad it's part of CyanogenMod.

In addition to that workaround posted in the previous page, you can also use Titanium Backup to freeze the app (does the same thing). Freezing apps persists through installations and ROM upgrades.

I'll take into consideration having it optional in the next version though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] miksa666:
I can't seem to send a MMS message with this rom. I haven't tested with other ics roms, so I can't say if it's rom specific. My provider is Saunalahti in Finland, and my MMS settings seem fine in APNs. Any ideas?

Other than that, this has been my dd for a few days. So smooth and fast!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Guys a bit of a warning here. For users of Swiftkey X, do not upgrade to Swiftkey 3! The bug where (hardware) shift/FN toggle capslock and permanent functions was not fixed in the beta and still affects us.

What that means is instead of the normal behavior of press once for the first character of the new word: ie. Mimicry, it will just toggle caps and do MIMICRY. It also is supposed to toggle lowercase when you hit shift 3 times, but that also doesn't happen and it just triggers capslock.

I submitted the bug during their beta testing but I guess not enough people suffered from it or backed it up to matter.

Anyway just beware of this as people have reported it as a ROM bug when it is not.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] virtualflyer:
Mine too. Too heavy use of torch in the highest option, idk how it's called in english, but the one you choose above strobo
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wrapper:
Not sure if this actually fixes it (I reported the bug too), but I use an app called Keyboard Manager which kills Swiftkey when I pop out the external keyboard. Makes typing quicker regardless.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
There is another app I used to use that let's you switch keyboards depending on keyboard state.

I actually love the fact that Swiftkey does hardware completion/spelling correction though, it's one of the main reasons I use the keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hai_Duong:
@blk_jack

Now I know that its cause of the ROM or kernel why my battery drain is so fast... I tested EliteMod & Kernel ICS and my battery is much better now :/ I hope u can talk to him and make a compatible Kernel for u ROM because I like to stay on Mimicry. =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
They both use essentially the same kernel. Both based on the same source so I don't think that's it. As I said before, the kernel itself would not be the cause of battery drain. It is likely an app.

Last night for example, google's backup app went nuts and caused crazy drain for me backing things up when I thought it would be idling. I've since disabled it but what I'm saying is it's very easy to find out what is causing battery loss and to fix it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TpmKranz:
Is it possible to intergrate the "Digital clock" widget from AOKP (screenshot) into this ROM?

I am not sure if pushing the DeskClock.apk from the unofficial AOKP build to /system/app/ breaks something. I have no problems since I did that approximately one houre ago but who knows...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hai_Duong:
Why does his kernel have SWAP? really if possible only a option to use his kernel... or i have to change ROM :( His ROM has better battery life that is what i know ^^ and for me battery is more important than options...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
As many have said before me, swap has no measurable performance improvement on AOSP-based roms. If anything it just wears out your sdcard quicker. Swap is enabled in the Andromadus kernel, however, though I personally don't recommend its use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
I think they are referring too nik3r's mod that changes some data blocks in the internal memory to linux swap. But yes same applies as these blocks may ware faster but its an interesting concept and at least in the short term appears to make the phone 'feel' snappier. Even on the g1 I've never been fully convinced of swap or compcache being benefit but from time to time I have used either or and occasionally they do seem to help. My concern was never if the sd wore prematurely but know that swap is used in my internal memory I'm a little extra warry. That said I like the concept very much
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
that makes two of us who would like that widget. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jethro650:
Anyone else noticing that freqs set in the performance menu aren't sticking or is it just me? I have set 245 min 806 max with smartassv2 and set on boot checked. When I go back after awhile, without rebooting, they are back at the 368,1209 default settings. Trying oc/uv beater see if it sticks for now.

Other than that this ROM is running great!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
It's due to the Virtuous OC daemon, which sets screen on/off frequencies. The oc/uv beater app will set those freqs and governors permanently for ya.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pantherx12:
Just wanted to say thank you, fastest ics rom I've used!

Every thing seems to work as well :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rraxda:
I was reading through this thread while I was watching the Heat game so I may have missed the answers to these questions.

Do I need to do a full wipe if I am coming from Audacity b4?

If I already used Edkeys radio/rail matcher and wifi patcher do I need to do it again once I install this rom?

Is there an md5 for this rom?

Thanks....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GinoAMelone:
Several people have had success doing this. Do a nandroid. If you get funkiness, wipe and re-install. Titanium can make re-building a lot less painless. Restoring system app data increases odds of funkiness.

Yes. Those patch the installed ROM. New installed ROM, new patching. Also need to repeat whenever flashing an updated ROM. We should get a new version of this one sometime after Jack gets back from vacation. You'll need to re-patch after installing that too. This has parts of EdKey's patches, but I just re-ran all his stuff. Had been when upgrading test builds by flinny anyway.

I haven't seen one, even when searching for it. :cyclops:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Is there any way to do wifi tether with this rom? I remember on stock there was a wifi tether app, but whenever I download a wifi tether app from the Play Store I get errors.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revwillie:
wifi tether is built in. I was using it to great success until last month when Tmobile started blocking it on my account.

Hello

I've been running mimicry for a _long_ time now and am extremely happy wth it. However since last night "Car Mode" has been activating by itself. I didn't even know it was installed in mimicry 1.5 ! Is anyone else seeing this strange behavior ? I have never had this before.

Regards
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] farris:
I am beginning to hate ICS on this phone... always when I used wifi, my normal 3G connection refuses to work properly. Whatsapp and spotify work perfectly, only google services and internet browsing don't work.

When i switch to flight mode and back, everything works for some minutes untill gmail starts to lag ( i get e-mails one hour later and so on). Everything's perfect on wifi.

This happens a lot on the ics roms, is anyone focussing on this bug?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dwardo:
Isn't the car mode supposed to activate due to magnet vincinity (of the car dock) ? This would indicate that the sensor is dying ???

Does anyone know what app I need to freeze if I want to remove this. I searched but did not find "car dock" or "car mode"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pantherx12:
The car mode problem is usually caused by debris in the charging port.

Take out the battery and get a pin and clean it out.

Hi I have been running this rom on my G2 for a long time now but recently, sometimes when I browsing in the browser the browser will exit it self and go to home screen on its on. Other times when I am browsing the phone will get stuck and I can do anything with it and it will just restart on its own. How can I fix the problem and what is causing such issues? When I first got this rom version 1.5.0 it never had such problems while browsing and I am starting think I must have done something to cause it. Could it be an issue with low memory when I am browsing in the browser?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oVeRdOsE.:
What browser are you using?

I dont have this kind of problem with opera or dolphin.

I have it only with maps and an other app (witch I dont remember).

I dont think is a memory problem, because when I use recent heavy games, the phone stays on. Opera and dolphin runs on very old or basic android devices, witch recent games wont.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ghostnik:
I am using the in built browser that came with the rom? And your correct it does happen sometimes when I am running google maps, but that happens very rarely. Usually happens when I am driving and using google maps navigation while running pandora in background playing music and having calls being made or received. I figured it happens in that case because all those functions I just mentioned use a lot of data. So you think I should try a different browser and see if it still happens?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mcsmart:
I've had a very similar issue. It turned out that disabling ZRAM fixed it for me. Do you have ZRam enabled?

- mcsmart
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ghostnik:
What is zram? I have never heard of it? And didn't know we had such an option on our device with this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Zram is disabled no matter what you select in the menu.

It sounds like you're just overreaching what the g2 is capable of doing smoothly on ics. Try to multi task less maybe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ghostnik:
Okay, I guess your correct. It only happens like you said when I doing many things with the device at the same time. Thanks for a great rom.
