I also use the same apps all the time. The only thing I changed was I updated Google Play Music to the Jelly Bean version. I think that could be causing the freezing. This time I didn't update the app and I'm hoping the freezing goes away. We'll see.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sorgo:
I can confirm Google Play Music installed, and also I didn't resist Google Now apk :) So these might be the freezing cause candidates.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] austriker27:
wow updating to a Google play apk sounds awesome! Although maybe I should wait if there are still a few bugs being worked out

What do you mean by "eneterprise" contacts?

And I use my BT head unit mostly for calling so I would really love to have my contacts synced with it :D

Is there any way I can find out why it works on the official CM7 rom and not on any CM9 roms?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
I did resist the update to the new Google Play, but could not resist getting Google Now. Since then I think there might have been a hit in performance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
I should of clarified better. I do use it for calls also (whenever I sync it for the music, and whenever I get an incoming call I can here them thru my car speakers, plus I have a microphone on the top of my windshield), but mainly for my music tho. But I never noticed contacts and call log ever syncing. Not even in CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I've been running the new Google Play Music for a week now with no issues. Google Now also, but I believe it's also causing lag for me. As such I'll be including the new Google Play Music in the next release but not Google Now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aussi:
I used it for my work so I hope some one can help me out why it doesnt work :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wbelac:
I've found that reducing the number of items on your phone Google Now searches helps a lot with the lag. I have it only searching the internet, and it's definitely lags a little, but it's not bad at all. (Whereas before when I had most searchable items selected, it would effectively lock up my phone)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stranded.eu:
Hi, noob question, how do I blacklist someone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Download "Root Call Blocker" app. Add the person's contact information in the blacklist. That is one way.

I have found that each time the phone begins to lag, wiping caches helps in the speed. To that extent is it possible to include the wipe in the settings somewhere rather than having to use another app or get into recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Check for apps causing lag as it's not something that should just happen. There are some apps that may cause memory leaks. Most notably non-stock camera apps have been prone to this with the 2.6 vision kernel.

Anyone having battery life issues? This rom seems to drain my battery about twice as fast as cm7.1. My battery percentage dropped 3% in the time it took me to type this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
I have not used non-stock camera apps since GB. It could be the Google Now that I was testing out the past few days. I uninstalled it today as it was too laggy to be practical. I'll see if that changes things.

Incidentally, would you consider adding the Google Ears (Sound Search) widget with the next gapps release? It's been kicking Shazaam's ass and I have found it to be super accurate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
What have you been working on blk for the next release? I have a feeling something big (or somewhat big) is coming soon.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
I can't speak on what blk_jack has been working on, as I have no idea, but since 1.1.2, a CM9 sync will give us some nice features that we can use or notice right away:

Increasing ringtone volume option

Add option to remove sound on focus camera

implement noise suppression for phone calls

Battery Light: Add ability to configure

Port power widget improvements from CM7 to CM9

PDroid

Auto-Patcher adds PDroid support to any number of ROMs - is it possible to add this by default?

Anyone wanting to try manually (and for me it's working great), for Mimicry 1.1.2 you need to use slightly older patches, e.g. ./auto_patcher mimicry-1.1.2.zip pdroid cm9 20120706

Would it be possible to implement ADW Launcher / ADW Launcher EX ? Also swype keyboard as option?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shellin:
I don't think ADW would be a good idea, as it runs but a smoothly as Nova or Apex and hasn't been updated in ages.

I'd love to see Swype support though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I'm trying to keep it in line with ICS only apps on install, including the launchers.

As for swype, it's a closed beta/private/paid (licensed) app and I don't know how far their license extends to custom ROMS, but last time I checked you were not allowed to include it in ROMS. I'm well aware that it was included with stock on the G2 but I don't know what version(s) or under what conditions that covered.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
That is quite a weird application. It is only availabile on their site and it is VERY well known

I have always wondered why they dont put it in the play store
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zendarino:
This is the best ics rom that i've tried. ****ing smooth and fast. Nice work guys.: :D:D

chrome

Hi,

I have one question:

I downloaded the Chrome browser and it worked well, until I wanted to type information on sites check boxes - the virtual keyboard just doesn't appear!

The virtual keyboard appears only on Chrome's address box, not on the site itself.

Does anybody else have this problem? Is there any solution ? Is this issue related to this ROM or Chrome browser itself?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
Chrome browser its self. :mad:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
They make all their money from OEM licensing, making it available for users on the Play Store would limit their leverage in negotiations I would think.

As for Swype itself.....Yes it is legal to download the beta and put it in this rom (devs just aren't allowed to include it themselves). Go to the website, sign up for the beta, and it installs just like it did on Gingerbread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tine17:
Really?

but that is basic functionality. Is Google aware of this issue?

I guess I will have to go back to Dolphin Browser for now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lonely_nino:
i have this problem too! :crying:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] docgab:
I personally don't like to see too many things added to a ROM that I can download myself. Clutter is kept to a minimum. Just MHO and YMMV.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
+1 on this.

You don't wipe data and reinstall the ROM every single day, do you?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stranded.eu:
Hello, I've found an error.

Open Google Translate (app).

select Conversation Mode

say something out loud so it could register it and translate

play the translation

notice that it plays in earspeaker and NOT in rear speaker, however you can temporary fix this by plugging in headphones and plugging them off, then it plays in rear speaker

Please fix this, thank you! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dinfinity:
Seconded. Pdroid support out of the box would be awesome.

Update on the SMS notifications: have not had the issue again, so haven't been able to check logcat. A good thing, I suppose :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnapplerX:
Yea that happened to me as well. You would think Google's own browser would be the most compatible with their own OS.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
It's more than Google Translate. For me, every day, at least once, the volumes are rerouted to the earpiece from the speakers. This means the phone rings and notifies through my earpiece, making it inaudible. I posted on the Audacity thread and no one confirmed what it was, but someone suggested that I use a "Volume Control" app to reset the volumes. This is my current fix,.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ibemad1:
I've had this happen in Google maps navigation as well.

Flinny is the man! Can't wait for some JB Andromadus roms!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Formiak:
man relax , you don't need to post it everywhere...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
:confused: I only posted this in the two related Andromadus threads. That was for the ppl who haven't been following the only Vision JB "dev" thread . So you relax, your comment wasn't necessary :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Don't sweat it. However I'm well aware of the development process going on w/ JB. Things are still too early to give any kind of date on when to expect a Mimicry version of JB, though (let alone Andromadus Audacity).

Right now Flinny is basing JB off early CM10 branches. CyanogenMod however has not merged much of their code/added functionality into those branches. It's important that people realize that Mimicry aims to provide an exceptional ICS experience to people, so offering up a very alpha version of JB will most likely not happen. Not to say that an early build of JB with Mimicry features wouldn't exist, just that I would hate to merge my code changes into the new JB structure only for it to change as CM ramps up the frequency of their own merges, causing me to re-do work & such. Plus it really bugs me when people offer new versions of software and they're just total regressions in terms of functionality.

Anyway, I'm still doing up the CM9 builds of Mimicry so don't worry. There will be some major version changes as we (Andromadus) migrate officially to the 3.0 kernel, as well as Jellybean :)

Oh and hats off to Flinny for his work getting JB to compile/run successfully. I'm away for a few days & come back to see him hacking away at [compiled from source] alpha builds already. Flinny is awesome & everybody here owes him their thanks!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tarroyo:
All thats needed is the desire hd drivers, Still waiting on HTC to push those out!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Yea I thanked Flinny for his work ealier, and I +1 you for this post. But I would love to test out JB even if it didn't have the extra features the CM/Andromadus team adds in (I know those will come later). And are u saying once CM adds/("re-do?") in most of the added code/features from CM9 u will start the migration to Mimicry JB? What's the technical/correct term for "re-do" as in a feature built for ICS to JB?

"Plus it really bugs me when people offer new versions of software and they're just total regressions in terms of functionality" - Sorry, but what do u mean?

Damn HTC is sluffin'. And what exact drivers do we need? Camera, gpu/gfx, etc? Some or all? And what are we using now, some hacked up drivers (no disrespect)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tarroyo:
Were using ARMv7 thats Qualcomm drivers I believe? Doesn't really matter now. I can't believe this bull****!

http://pocketnow.com/2012/07/13/htc-kills-desire-hd-ice-cream-sandwich-update-plans/

So your telling me xda developers can get ICS working but htc can't? Just say your no longer supporting your older lineup of phones.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Wow. Well since HTC doesn't want to support it anymore can we request them to atleast leak a Desire HD/Z ICS rom? Or atleast release the ICS binaries/drivers for both or atleast one of them.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shapr:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 1Shotwonder:
Well I always thought ADW was pretty nice but I am just getting back into the whole modding and using applications that allow you to change stuff on your phone such as your Launcher. If ADW doesn't have support of ICS then I completely understand why its not there thats a fail but I wasn't thinking of it to add bulk to the rom but as another option upon installation of rom just as there already is.

Thanks I understand that reason for it not being there I will see with trying the beta sign up deal.

Thanks for the heads up will go and try this now I got really used to the keyboard setup so I hope it works lol

I agree that Flinny has done something remarkable and appreciate the work hes doing and hope that he continues it but right now I am happy to see a amazingly smooth running ICS on or phones for the age they are and the specs they have in them to have this rom ported to our device is bad ass and I hope it continues to get better and eventually when Flinny is done being the madd scientist we can be running some Jellybean lol but hey blk_jack pm away that we can get in touch I am really interested in going another step this time around maybe theres something I can help with/learn to do and then help with on this build.

BTW runs like a champ so far no issues during daily usage and will continue to take it through its steps but its smooth and fast.

Help required

Hi Guys,

I am new to this. Can you please tell me how to install this rom. I am currently on stock rom. I saw there are two files listed as below:L

Mimicry v1.1.2

– Download Links [ main ] [ mirror | mirror ]

– md5sum: 6a9f9ebf4e1ecfa6e37e633df843eeb3

– Gapps 20120429 [ main ] [ mirror ]

– md5sum: 7c524e1e078164f681e0aa6753180b2c

I have downloaded both of them. What next to do.

Thank You & have a great day.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rc_enzo:
You have installed a custom recovery after rooting? If you boot into it (power + volume UP, I think, I use an app to get there :P), you can select to install a ROM from SD-card. First Mimicry, then GApps.

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

Does anyone else experience that the E on the physical keyboard doesn't work that fine? Sometimes when I press it, it doesn't show up. Other times it pops up twice. It's getting a bit annoying.

Orrr.... is this something I put in the bugtracker :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fawadakghani:
Once I install Mimicry than I again have to go through same process and select Gapps??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rc_enzo:
Exactly. After it's done with Mimicry, select install ROM from SD-card again and pick Gapps. After that, you reboot into the system, and it will work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmaciak:
Do not want to sound rude, but honestly, if you are asking this question then this is a bad place where to start. Unlocking, rooting, flashing custom recovery and roms, and such are quite nontrivial tasks which can either be very straightforward or in case anything goes wrong, you better understand what are you doing so you can recovery from mistakes or you can easily morph your phone into quite extraordinary and expensive paperweight.

Start reading on xda, read about your phone, understand how it works, read abou what unlocking, rooting is, read dev section, sticky threads ... and if you can answer your previous question yourself, then it is the right time to start installing this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gariak:
Feature suggestion

Here's something I've seen before, but is gone from ICS: the battery percentage is displayed on the lock screen while charging, but not while unplugged. It would be nice to have an option to always display it, charging or not.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
The mod is already there in the Status Bar tweaks (you have to enable it first).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stranded.eu:
He's talking about lockscreen percentage only, not status bar.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
I know, but its there and it works the same way, just in the status bar instead.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dsip:
Just came from GB to finally try some ICS sweetness. So far everything seems nice, stable and fast. I'm quite impressed. :)

As for the suggestions on page one:

"- Camera shutter sound on/off toggle independent of System sounds"

Personally I would love this. I always liked this feature in my CM7 based ROMs.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stranded.eu:
Temporary workaround (you are rooted after all now!)

go to system/media/audio/ui

remove anything that bothers you (camera shutter etc)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madnut.ua:
How can I enable onscreen buttons for this ROM? I've tried to enable config_showNavigationBar in framework-res and recompile, but nothing happens. Are there any mod or guide how to do this correctly? Can someone help with this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Or simply just "silence" the the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] almostthere:
I think this answer has been answered before but I just wanna be sure but is the BT stack working properly? Tried pairing with the 2012 Mondeo's head unit but audio seems unable to be streamed although remote changing of tracks works
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
BT audio & controls works in my kenwood all in one head unit.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] almostthere:
Hurmmmm..... Strange cos tested on 3 different Ford's and same thing happened

EDIT: would it have anything to do with Apollo?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
Ive used bluetooth to successfully connect to my ELM327 based OBD2 car code reader and it worked fine on the second try.

I think it was a distance issue. The ELM327 unit doesn't transmit signal very far until you pair it, then it can be a few of feet away.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Nope. Everything plays fine for me. Try to reboot your phone and stereo (or turn the car off, then on). Try to re-sync. If that fails, clear BT data from both I guess and try again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] travis:
As mentioned earlier, I lose BT Audio after about a Minute on my car.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dsip:
Thanks :)

Here's a small complaint: The messaging app was pre-configured to trim all conversations down to 500 messages, which deleted a lot of my stuff. Doesn't really matter now, since I just migrated and obviously have a backup, but a ROM should imho not be configured like this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
This is the standard behavior of the AOSP MMS app that comes with android. No configuration was done on my behalf to change that..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Exactly. He should have known to go thru an apps settings first before fully using it. That's what I do, and many others should. But I don't use the stock messaging app, I use the highly customizable Handcent SMS, which gives u a lot of options. Been using it since I started using Android ~3 years ago.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnapplerX:
Hi, I have a slight problem, nothing too big but every time I power off my phone it says "powering off" and then starts vibrating non-stop for about 30 seconds and then it turns off and turns back on again. This is a bit annoying as anytime I want to turn off my phone I have to take out the battery, If anyone knows anything about this, some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hot Reboot

I have asked this in the Audacity thread and did not receive any response. Hot Reboot reboots the phone entirely for me. Is this expected behavior?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I definitely can't reproduce this. Hot reboots are working as usual for me
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Oh! That is strange, then. When I choose hot reboot, I see a popup saying Hot Reboot and then a few seconds later, the phone reboots. This has been the case for me since...B3 I guess. Could something be wrong with my installation?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Very odd, but fine on my end. Just the normal "Powering off" for a few seconds, then the one strong vibration, then completely off. Never heard of your problem before.

When I use hot reboot, it... reboots! But starts at the boot animation instead of the HTC boot screen. Isn't that how it's suppose to work in the first place?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Maybe I don't understand what Hot Reboot should do. I thought it merely restarted all applications.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
My understanding is it manually stops and restarts the entire framework. You will still see the boot animation but look at your uptime to see it it's doing a full reboot or not. It also keeps some applications and services in memory, which can actually cause some inconsistencies depending on the running apps.

Also, hot rebooting is effectively the same as typing "stop; sleep 5; start" in a root shell.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 1Shotwonder:
So after using the rom for a couple of days everything is great for the most part just wondering if you plan on leaving the www./.com button as a shift key and also if you are leaving the search on screen key as a running task button instead of search. nothing big or anything just curious
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stranded.eu:
blk_jack

Is this even possible to fix without having the proper drivers? It's not really a big issue but can get very annoying.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
The www /.com button will be fully integrated in the next version (unless you select enhanced keymaps since I firmly believe tab is more useful than a canned www/.com button.

As for the search capacitive key, you can currently keep it as regular search, please consult the OP for the write up on that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I haven't been able to narrow down the issue so I can't accurately answer that question yet. Sorry!

EDIT: In the spirit of furthering bugtests though, if somebody who can accurately reproduce this issue could test to see it it's occurs in Mimicry 1.1.1, that would be quite valuable :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
Hey... I was curious... I noticed that screen lock sounds only work for unlocking the device, but not during a lock. I have a lock.ogg in /system/media/audio/ui but I can't seem to get it to sound at lock. Is this a function of the ROM, or something I've done?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
That's interesting. For some reason, the stock messaging app on GB was much better at handling my 5000+ messages than handcent.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Works fine for me. Check your System Volume in Sound settings.

Handcent did well at 3000+ txt for me also back in the day. But I mostly delete the thread after a couple days these days since the old txt's aren't important anymore.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
System volume is set. Thanks for the reply... guess I'll keep working on it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gariak:
That works too, I hadn't considered that. I suppose it just irritates me that the useful number I look at while charging disappears.

On another note, have any issues with MTP/PTP been reported? I can turn it on in the Storage settings, but as soon as I plug it in, it reverts the setting back to Mass Storage. I can even change the setting while connected and it will flip it back. Really strange behavior. I've googled around for solutions, but mostly just find things related to the CM9 Touchpad.
