This ROM is brilliant... long time GB lover - I didn't think that any of the current ICS builds would compare. I was so wrong. This rivals my favorite GB ROMs in terms of speed, smoothness, battery life, and overall performance. So far I haven't encountered a single glitch. Quality work. Thank you. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Check your APNs, I don't know why caller id wouldn't show up unless the numbers incoming are not matching the actual phonebook entries. Try googling it outside the scope of this thread.

As for yahoo, it's hardcoded by cm.. they expand on it in the future though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Thought I'd mention this, though it's not a huge concern for people already running the ROM buuuuut...

I've updated the OP to include an installation FAQ, the ROM/gapp md5sums and updated the list of ideas mentioned so far since the release. Please remind me if I've left any out, but I've put up the ones that are most viable or have been the most supported by others. That said, vote in this thread for ideas you'd like implemented!

I'm back tomorrow so I'll be looking into the most pressing issues and trying to get a release out to address them ASAP. That'll most likely be 1.1.1 as it'll just contain some fixes and sync up w/ the CM9 repo. 1.2 will come after I've implemented 1 or more of the features on the To-Do list.

Thanks to everyone for their vacation well wishes, I had a great vacation and am really pumped to get back into android dev!

I also have the issue that sometimes I get calls and only see the number not a name. I did however installed over andromedus beta 4, without a wipe. Do I have to clear some programs cache maybe?

I also am using nova launcher for the first time and notice that sometimes I see the laucher but the bottom icons are gone. If I do a longpress back to kill it its restarts and its fixed for a while. Dont know if this is a nova problem or something with this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tr4656:
Is there anyway to set a certain action for long press on soft buttons? My power button is button (well pretty much broken, only a certain spot works and its annoying to find the right spot) and I would like to bind say long press back to the power button to show the power menu and allow for me to shut down/reboot that way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmaciak:
This was mentioned several times in all andromadus rom threads. The problem is with terribly slow phone.apk which takes it's time to match incoming call number with address book entry. When it does, the name and image will appear, and sometimes it does not do it at all. To my observations the problem might lay somewhere in bigger amount of contacts accounts (google contact, linked in, facebook, skype, whatsapp, viber - these are accounts at my phone) and when i remove those accounts this lag seems to almost disappear.

Please, we really should acknowledge what blk_jack wrote here more then once and avoid discussing issues of upstream roms in this thread. I understand that it means following this thread, Andromadus Audacity Beta thread and Andromadus Audacity test builds, but it really is necessary to solve these issues once for all. If they're being discussed in several separated threads, it won't help relosving them any further.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TpmKranz:
Why not include the improved headphones volume patch/mod as an option in Aroma?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Hmm, I thought so too, but I never had this issue on Gingerbread with the same number of contacts ( barely increased ). I wonder, will clearing the phone.apk's data fix this? And maybe clearing the cache for the phone.apk and people.apk ( or whatever it's called )

Lockscreen Mute/Unmute

Lockscreen Mute/Unmute feature:

One thing that I'd personally like to see is the ability to mute/unmute from the lockscreen as per older ROMs. It's a great feature to have going to/from meetings where I just want to mute the audio and unmute coming out.

Various options exist (e.g. mute app) which allow you to mute from the lockscreen, but they unlock too, so you then need to re-lock the screen. This is all a bit tedious for any linux/android user IMHO.

A single app/option to allow muting from the lockscreen and maintain the screenlock would be superb. I had a quick look at doing this myself, but I don't have the necessary object coding experience/skills to do this although I did quickly realise that the lockscreen itself requires superuser privileges.

Hope this happens, but thanks for the new ROM btw. So far, so good. I'm sticking with mimicry for now. just one question with respect to the integrated Virtuous OC - What's the upper bounded CPU frequency in use?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dinfinity:
Firstly: Awesome, just awesome. This is my first ICS ROM and I have almost nothing but praise for it. I've seen the phrase 'brand new phone' mentioned and that is exactly how it feels.

Many thanks to blk_jack and all the devs that have made CM9, Andromadus and this ROM possible.

As for the (minor) points of improvement: I second the wish for DSPManager being optional. Memory is a scarce resource on our phone, especially if you like to have many background services running.

This is in my case probably also the cause for the frequent redraws of Apex I'm seeing (33% of the times I return to Home), but it does slightly feel like the automatic 'Supercharging' doesn't really have an effect on the killability of Apex. Tips on how to improve this behaviour (or perhaps check that the supercharging was indeed successful) would be welcome.

I have enabled 'Keep in memory' in the Apex settings, btw.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TpmKranz:
Try disabling the "Keep in memory" option. One is being advised to do this during the process of supercharging. If that doesn't help, try supercharging with a new beta/RC version of the V6 SuperCharger. Doing this also provides you with tips on checking whether the supercharging works.

Exchange Contacts Sync

Hi all....

First, congratulation to this great rom. Almost everything works fine for my.

maybe i fail but i have a problem with my exchange contacts. i use the stock/gapps email client to sync my exchange mail and contacts. at first sync it works perfectly. all contacs are synced correctly. but after a half day all contacts are gone again. i checked the account settings. everything is set correctly. serverside the contacts are still there (luckily) but not anymore on my phone.

i use 2 exchange accounts. on both the same problem

can anyone share this expirience?

best wishes

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GinoAMelone:
There are two ways to do this already. Use the notification bar toggles or setup a new slide shortcut in the lock screen. Settings->Lockscreen->Shortcuts.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
From CyanogenMod's Google+ post :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] maumaus:
Im testing the rom since Friday...

Lovin it!

(- In Andromadus Menu, when I turn Notification Shortcuts off... it is still there... It wont go.)

*EDIT: Nevermind the above... When you turn it off, when you go a step back in the menu an second option appearce to hide the bar... Seems a bit double to me... to bad.. the "all erase" cross disappears too.

- I would also love a black theme for sms en mail.

- I dont think this one is possible, but is there a way to get a GB style email app back? I do like some parts of the new email app... But with multiple accounts it isnt that clear.

And more exotic: It would be very nice to "lie" to exchange sever so they cant wipe my phone!

- Lockscreen is only in landscape when my keyboard is out... Cant find an option for that'. And agenda items, arent visible in landscape...

- the date in header is awesome, but could it be possible to use different formats? I would love to see something like this: "Mo 25 jun" nothing more nothing less... it gives me more space for icons in header
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] terrormattie:
4th post is very nice and inspiring and such but after multiply question from various people about the wifi hotspot not functioning I am still without. All you get are answers like DHCP this and DHCP that. I do not know where the hell those people are talking about so for me wifi hotspot is broken. Can not say that from other ICS roms...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
I have been running this rom for around a week and it has really performed. Smooth, everything works, and quick. I have had only had 1 graphical glitch and one freeze (during playing 3d game Shine runner).

Only issues:

I am not getting battery life anywhere near blk_jack's 4 hours of screen on time, I am averaging around 2 - 2.5 hours of screen on time max. I need to start investigating wakelock issues to rule out any rogue apps. Anyone have a suggestion on the best app for this?

My bluetooth is quite slow in connecting to the handsfree in my car. Sometimes I have to manually connect by going into options. This issue started around beta 3 of Andromadus so it may be more relevant to Flinny / Darkspadez in the other Andro threads rather than this one although I wanted to mention it just in case.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KeepTriin:
Many thanks. That's what I've been looking for :good: :laugh:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
use Better Battery Stats, the thread is very helpful
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] desmi:
I agree, its just that I have been using andromedus for months now and never had this problem before. Got it after I installen mimicry.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
A few things regarding the battery life I get. First, I don't use bluetooth. It's obviously a massive drain :) I also disable GPS and almost never use it, opting for wifi or 3g based location data. Not to say I haven't used it for navigation, but I live in a city & only rent cars now.

As I said, I live in a major city so my reception is excellent. I also keep my phone relatively cool (air conditioning) and am on WiFi more than not.

bad signal + heat + bluetooth/gps will drain your battery very quickly. I also don't use auto-brightness unless outdoors and instead use a low set brightness to conserve even more battery. I also only have gmail + exchange setup to auto-sync. I don't use facebook, which I've heard is a major killer.

Hope that helps shed some insight :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
I only use bluetooth in my car where my phone is plugged in all the time. I rarely use or have gps enabled. When it is, again in the car plugged in.

I live in that exact same city as you and am on wifi most of the day, a/c too.

My brightness is set to 25% while in-doors. In car I use auto-brightness, plugged in though. For autosync I have gmail, whatsapp, yahoo mail (on mail app) and Linkedin. That's it.

I have a feeling it is a rogue process or app. I will buy better battery stats and see what I can dig up. I am still using the original battery that came with my phone, purchased on the Canadian DZ launch date of Nov 3, 2010. Not sure if that age makes a difference, but not even two years old...I doubt it.

Sim card full error

I have been getting a strange sim card full error, I dont have anythign on the sim card, as far as texts and contacts goes.

Anyone else got this message?

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I believe this is an issue w/ TMO sim cards when using WiFi Calling. EdKeys reported it in his thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1664106
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
The real reason is because I'm on the Telus network & you're w/ Rogers ;)

In all seriousness though you're probably right and it's likely an app. From a quick google I'm seeing people complain about whatsapp but who knows. If it's a chat client it probably stays connected and doesn't let your phone deep sleep. Maybe not though?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] snowman211:
Just installed this last night, and I must say that I'm in love! I got really excited reading this thread at work yesterday... so excited that I actually read the whole thing from front to back (it was a really, REALLY slow day)

But one thing that I've noticed about the text glitches. It's happened to me twice, both times in the Play store as I was scrolling through the long list of "My Apps".

In this case, part of the text on the screen was readable, but the part that wasn't was the bolded app name. After clicking on an icon, everything showed up fine, besides the text saying "Allow automatic updating", and the related app names at the bottom of the page.

I'm not too sure if this means much, either different font settings or possibly just a different header of some sort, but just thought that I'd post some observations.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
I don't think Whatsapp is an issue since it supports push notifications, and from my understanding, will rely on the Google servers, which use the gtalk service.

But yes, heat, cell reception, all add to battery drain. I'm thinking Facebook is a huge culprit. Also, My phone has no problem when it sleeps. Battery drain is extremely minimal. It's just that the battery drain is crazy when I'm using the phone.

And my phone hits 4200mV at 66-76% which is bugging me. I'm sick of doing battery recalibrations so I don't know why a reboot ( through the power menu and not quick boot ) causes a 10% drop more or less. I'm thinking I'll switch to my other battery when I hit 100% or 4200mV on this one. Hopefully that should reset something.

But one thing I noticed lately is that my phone doesn't get hot while charging. I switched from a Griffin USB travel charger that provided around 350mA while charging, to a charger used for the Dell Venue ( my dad's phone ) which provides ~700mA while charging. It got hot for the former but not for the latter.

See, I experience a LOT of lag some times. Never happens in the settings menu. I have location services on ( which I like to keep on ), autosync with gmail, facebook, whatsapp, etc. I'm thinking I'll take out Facebook sync since I don't use it much on my phone. But I still need the integration though for the photos and stuff.

Few ideas for the pre-installer:

1)

- DSP

- Beat by Dre (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1728516)

- None

2)

- Swype Beta as Keyboard

3)

- Email Security Mod [At own Risk]

Not 100% sure on this but i THINK sometimes i get no audio notification for SMS...

Anyone else?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KShatzkes:
I'm getting the same thing. Sometimes there is no notification sound for SMS, GTalk, or Email. Weird.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Guys, please check your profiles. I'll explain.

In my Night profile, I have calls,sms notifications on with half volume on both, vibration overrides to off, and other notifications set to off, with no overrides on the notification light.

To contrast, my default profile has full volume notifications on everything with no vibration overrides.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xxqbnxx:
It has happened several times, I seem to be not receiving sms sometimes. I'm on tmobile only other time I had this problem on a rom was on sense roms. Anyone else experiencing this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wbelac:
I can report this problem as well, I used to have it on sense roms too. I've found using Google Navigation or the stock browser will trigger it most often. This has been occurring as far back as I can remember with Andromadus roms. I've been running them since the alphas, although it hasn't been as frequent lately, and it has happened for me on Mimicry as well. I've been using Ghostly SMS to fix the issue, it works great (although sometimes I get double notifications) and the peace of mind is worth it to me. Note I haven't fully wiped since Beta 2, going from there to Beta 4, to Mimicry, so I can't rule that factor out.

As for Mimicry itself though, it's running great for me! Best ICS experience so far on this phone. Thanks to blk_jack and the Andromadus team for all of their hard work!

As for the suggested tweaks, I'm all for the ADB icon toggle, camera sound toggle, and option for DSP. For the trackpad answer though, I'd prefer that be optional, as I had problems running a rom with trackpad wake and it being depressed in my pocket. Might have been how you would have implemented it anyway, but I thought I'd put in my two cents.

Again, thanks for all the hard work, and I can't wait for the next release!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Just to confirm, are you guys not getting SMS messages altogether or just the notifications?

Thanks for the feedback & kind words about the ROM. Any changes/additions I would make, be it trackpad call answer or such would have a corresponding toggle in the settings. I definitely don't want to lock people in to a change I've made when it exists as otherwise by default in ICS/CM9 :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] maumaus:
As for me... I experienced 1 out of prox. 20 sms not delivered at all... But Ghostly SMS (thank god) never missed one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
I have had this happen to me many times. I don't get the message at all. But after a reboot, I will get it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Hm, sounds like an issue w/ the SMS app itself then. We'll see if this happens using the latest CM9 base.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] docgab:
I have had this very same problem. Needless to say, my wife isn't fond of my new ROM lol

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

It happened with me quite a bit. I wouldn't get any for a awhile then they would flood in. I wouldn't get the sms or notification of text.

It isn't an issue for me in audacity or cyanogen oddly enough. I will have to reinstall this ROM and try ghostly sms perhaps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KShatzkes:
I don't think its only the SMS app that is the issue. I've noticed the flood of notifications when I wake the phone up from not only SMS, but also GTalk and GMail. I think it might be an issue of when the phone's screen is off, it is not receiving any messages until the screen is turned on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xxqbnxx:
Yeah my wife doesn't like my new ROM as much I installed ghostly sms so far so good but dislike the double notification. As to a response to jack I get no message at all. I wonder if it's a ram issue only because I play tiger Woods golf a lot. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but it's an intensive game. Just trying to pin point
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I'll have a few things in place for the next version I'm putting out (soon). It should hopefully address these strange notification issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
To everybody that has sms/mms issues (i dont actually), what cpu govern are u guys using? I read that on-demand (which i use) is better for background stuff when the screen is off. I remember using smartass or interactive and downloading a large file, but once u turn the screen off, the download pauses. Using on-demand is better for screen-off downloading, even tho its a hit-or-miss. Just an observation.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] borjaox:
I don't use SMSs anymore, so I am not sure if I am missing any. I use interactive for awake and conservative for sleep. I have also limited the frequency to 1024 in awake without noticing a drop in performance. All the rest is ROM stock.

I have found that with smartassV2 (default governor) my battery life is very bad. With the new settings I have doubled it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I'll be tweaking the Virtuous OC Daemon to raise the max frequency when the screen is off in the next release. I personally get great life w/ smartassV2 but I suppose it depends on how you use your device.

I've also been testing using 768 max when the screen is off & so far haven't noticed it using any more battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BRad Barnett:

For whatever it was worth, I deleted data of [SMS/MMS/APN] app yesterday with TiBU. So far the one message that my wife sent me got in fine. I'll see if that was a potential fix. My governor is Smartassv2.
