love rom this rom

but is there a way to get navigation bar like AOKP
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I definitely don't ever have this issue and I play music through Google Play Music every day (my phone is my portable music player).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Not without recompiling the rom, it's omitted since we have hardware navigation keys....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Deathmehr:
Hello,

On my phone the voice search works well. What exactly do you mean by not working? Does it interpret words incorrectly ? Or crashes etc.? Check the settings whether it is set not on Polish in the former case.

___________________________________

Now sth completely different. I love this ROM (first ICS that I use on a daily basis). One thing I miss is being able to remove recent apps all at once. Also, I wonder why Google decided to waste left half of the Recent Apps on just their names? I would love to see the apps side by side (tiles would be smaller ofc). Is it possible?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] own4gepur:
Go to settings-->Lock screen-->Screen security, then enable a pin or other type of lock and there is a checkbox that says "enable widgets before unlock" This is what you're both looking for.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Roolio:
Still loving this ROM!

One question, I use my own boot animation, but when I flash the update, I have to pick one of the 4 boot animations. So after flashing the ROM I have to flash the boot animation again. Is there any way to opt for a 'use current boot animation' in the Aroma installer in the future?

This really is the tinyest of issues if you could call it an issue at all, so by all means, don't spend much time on this if it's hard to do. :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g1user101:
Hey guys, don't flame me on this, but I'm busy right now and won't be able to read this thread. Can someone tell me the bugs in this rom? Thank you much!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
You don't have to read the whole thread, but at least read the OP. There's an entire FAQ/Issues section which covers all known problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zelych:
In the previous version worked transhipped via camera quite well, but had only version 1.4 as follows:

Still, I would like to ask why the application does not appear in SVOX speech settings? It is necessary for the application Antelli (something like Siri)

A friend has oficial ICS update for HTC Evo 3D and there both applications work well. In 2.3.x ROM are also works.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
What happened when you wiped app data and did a full wipe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ajxx16:
As do I, since flashing this Rom that's there only issue I've encountered, I have uninstalled, cleared cache etc etc. Like I said, I'll try and get that logcat.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zelych:
Even after deleted apps data were the first two attempts the same, and up to the third one was correct, but after that the application stopped responding and subsequently the phone, so I had to remove the battery.

Yes I did before flashing full wipe.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
You most likely did not lose root, maybe if you explained why you think you did can explain how to fix it (for example is root access under development set to both apps and adb?)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Very strange, nothing has changed camera wise since 1.3. That's why I asked about the wipes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GinoAMelone:
I believe blk_jack said that full addons.d support is working. If you modified your custom bootanimation update.zip to have an addons.d script, it should restore your bootanimation at the end of the install.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mcsmart:
I selected the Virtuous OC daemon when flashing the ROM. I noticed that the default governor for the oc daemon is still "smartassV2" (wake_governor and sleep_governor). @blk_jack: Why did you choose "smartassV2" instead of "ondemand" for the Virtuous OC daemon? I always thought the main use-case for smartassV2 was the replacement of tools such as the Virtuous OC daemon, because it manages screen-on/screen-off profiles by itself...

Anyway, I kind of feel that using smartassV2 with virtuous_oc is redundand and I switched to "ondemand"/"conservative" for wake/sleep.

And another question/request: Would it be possible to add a overlay filesystem on the SD card, which will be copied to the internal memory after flashing a new ROM version? This could be useful to save custom Virtuous OC settings or SPN overrides, for example. I am thinking of something like this: '/sdcard/andromadus/overlay/system/etc/virtuous_oc/wake_governor' would be copied to /system/etc/virtuous_oc/wake_governor after flashing the ROM. This would also allow users to apply custom addons/tweaks easily. Or is this already possible and I missed something?

- mcsmart
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zelych:
It's strange. In 1.3.1 it did not work well in 1.3.2 seemed to think so. Among upgrade from 1.3.2 to 1.4.0 I have tried JB build 71, where the camera did not work practically all (could not focus).

Today I have tried to delete the data and cache and reflash 1.4.0 and while it looked like it helped. After starting the viewfinder while black, but another photo she was normal. But when it tries to resolve for a long time showed loading bar and then the application crashed and telephone responses were very slow.

I restored a backup, where it did not work at all (see my previous screenshot), and after restoring the backup it started to work as well as after full wipe and reflash, but only the first photo, the next they are bad - unusable.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I've had people ask this before when these defaults were set with the Andromadus Tweaks (pre-Mimicry). See this post in which I explain my decision to use smartassV2 over other governors.

This exists in 1.4.0's support of the /system/addon.d/ directory with cyanogenmod's backuptool. Look at files in /system/addon.d/ as an example of how you can create a new script in there that will be preserved on Mimicry upgrade and include other files to preserve as well.

Nothing has changed (ever) in any version of Mimicry that would affect the camera. That said, the camera drivers in ICS for the 2.6 kernel are very buggy and prone to tons of errors as well as horrendous memory leaks. Using 3rd party camera apps of any kind is a huge risk. This is mentioned in the OP and is beyond our control until we migrate to the 3.X kernel. Currently the 3.X kernel (on ICS) has many other issues that are far more serious.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] v.a.r:
Thanks so much! :D

Seen it before but never tried it, dumb of me. anyway thanks. :)

Now this ROM is truly perfect. Can't say how awesome it is. Even though I'm saying it again, it ain't enough, awesome job blk_jack and all the devs behind this. Keep it up! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Got the update. Nothing overt to report other than the phone is behaving nicely now.

I noticed an interesting thing. I fired up Google Translate and wanted to try out the new feature where you can take a picture and highlight text to translate. Right after that the phone became unusable. I had to pull out the battery. This has happened more than once. Moral: Avoid the Google Translate's camera feature. I suspect that this is also the case with Shopper and Goggles. I haven't tried it yet.

I thought any 3rd party camera app can cause memory leaks. Why is this happening? I don't have any 3rd party app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
well you do, the google translate camera feature, google goggles, etc are all 3rd party camera apps. what is ment by that is anything but the native camera app may be unstable/unuseable and may have memory leaks. as of now just about any 3rd party app will not behave properly with ics on the vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
Demkantor is correct, any app except the official "camera app" is considered 3rd party.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Deathmehr:
Well, I tried G translate while on Mimicry 1.3.2 but 3 out of 4 times picture translation worked fine. This 1 out of 4 time, phone had a hiccup but recovered by itself. And among those 3/4 maybe once the picture taken was heavily glitched but to my surprise, when I highlighted the text blindly, GT translated it. :eek:

Sorry wifi works ,it just my fault and I have make it work now ,awesome rom ,good job thx
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
GPS lock didnt work for me in 1.3.2, and it works in 1.4.0 - but it's slow. takes about 15-20 seconds. Not complaining, but I remember it being much faster before.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Silence7887:
Hi

Do i need flash the gapps with this ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
The OP would say along with any other replies right underneath it (... normally if the google apps zip link is provided separately under the download link... it kind of sets up the assumption it's not included, it's also mentioned in the installer).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Nothing has changed to affect GPS in Mimicry (ever). Try different solutions available including wiping AGPS data, flashing or not flashing EdKeys' lib-RIL package, etc etc. Search the OP for "GPS".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DooSHeK:
This is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't noticed this previously (probably because it's showing only after enabling pin or pattern). THX.

This rom is awesome. Best rom I'v ever used. Fast, no lags. Even when I have small amount of ram (20MB) there is no lags at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jevring:
Radio Update

The radio update required to take advantage of the EdKeys' lib-RIL package update compatible with ALL desire Z:s, or is it a US thing only?

My GPS lock is slow, and I want to try this fix, but I have the wrong radio.

Can I just upgrade, or are there certain conditions that need to be fulfilled?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dwardo:
Works here in France!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jevring:
Excellent! Perhaps I'll flash that before flashing mimicry 1.4.0 later, then =)

Got a URL?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deveb:
Everyhing works quite fine, I've found only 3 things:

- unable to customize notification & trackpad leds (Light Flow doesn't work perfectly as should, sometimes it generates random notification)

- no fm radio (btw, DO NOT install Spirit FM radio app, it causes a lot of mess in Mimicry!!!)

- very poor camera & camcorder app, only 480p video

Except above, this rom is really BRILLIANT, thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Deathmehr:
What kind of mess are you talking about? I've got SpiritFM installed. It works excellent.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Ditto. Works fine for me as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Conan179:
ditto 2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
"very poor" eh? :D Yea that's the case with EVERY ICS rom right now for DZ/G2 not just mimicry. I'd take a functional camera/camcorder over nonexistent any day. If I want 720p recording, I'll use a real camera.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
For the longest time I thought that third party camera apps meant apps like CameraFX. I was disappointed that Goggles and Translate don't work either. But a small price to pay I guess.

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

All the information is in EdKeys' OP. Check it out there. There is a non-US version too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jevring:
I assume this is the thread you're referring to, right? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1632482

The installer asks me if I "have" this radio. However, it seems like something I'd flash *after* flashing the rom. Will SuperWipe remove such a radio fix?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
You can flash the radio at any point, before or after. Just make sure you do have it, I don't know how much testing has been done without the appropriate radio, but I doubt it's very nice :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deveb:
ICS camera is slow and quality of photos are worse than those taken by HTC Camera (Viruous Sense 2.0- yes, I know- it's very old rom, but my favourite one). I also know, that current ICS builds for DZ don't record 720p (anyway, it's mentioned in begining of this thread by developer). I've written about it in addition to complaining about ICS camera. There is no offence to author of Mimicry, imho this rom is the best of all available ICS builds for DesireZ :)

BTW. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/desire-hd-kernel-fixes-camera-on-sense-4-roms/ If even sense 4 roms are closer and closer to be complete, it means a "clean" builds will too :)

App caused problems with detecting headset and with sound, music from Apollo or PowerAmp was played through speaker and there was no way to play it on wired headset. Maybe that's only my DZ issue, in every case I've warned you guys because only wiping all data allowed me to listen music using headphones.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pantherx12:
Any chance of porting the camera features from this rom?

Nice ROM, but

It appears I hate the ICS interface. But maybe I just hate change.

The ROM works smooth, I like the font rendering (small). But I just can't work with this ROM due to 2 main reasons (appart from the general ICS irritations):

a-where are the wireless accesspoint settings? Can't find a way to manipulate what accesspoint to use or add/delete them. Only VPN/tetherling/mobile data settings (2g/3g) and APNs are there where they always were.

b-why is the gmail app reading my mails to me (TTS) and why can't I get it to shut up.

a appears to be ROM specific, b maybe not. Maybe I'm to stupid for this ROM :)

Back to CM7.2 for now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmaciak:
What do you mean by wireless access points?

If you mean the list of available and remembered wireless (=WiFi) networks, then head up to Settings->WiFi and there you are (you will only see them once the WiFi is turned on).

If by this you mean the access points to data and MMS mobile service settings, you just mentioned them - it's where the APN settings are.

Gmail is reading mails beacuse you probably configured it in Settings->Accessibility.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skui:
suggestion.. request..

can it be possible to integrate some sort of backup for sms? i mean, something like the standard vcard export for contacts..

just curiosity, i don't really need to backup my sms actually :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
there are already apps that do that for you.

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

pull down your notification bar and hold down on the wifi toggle button. any button you hold down on in the notification area will send you to the settings screen for that feature.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jevring:
If I SuperWipe, will I have to reflash the radio, or is it a one-time thing?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
radio is firmware, it will stay the same between rom flashes, superwipes, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jevring:
Thanks! =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] m1k30rz:
Been having HUGE performance issues with this ROM, extreemly slow performance over time, have tried just about everything, all partitions are EXT4, have done full wipes several times, have even tried with just base applications, even GMAIL has huge issues. Watchdog does not report any issues apart from facebook, and even when uninstalling facebook this ROM is slow as a dog :(

Would love to use this ROM but please fix slow performance first.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Is zram disabled?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] m1k30rz:
if it is off by default, then it was off. can't check now as I'm trying other roms
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dwang:
Its actually on by default.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] m1k30rz:
That's a bit of an oversight having something thats detrimental to performance on by default? :\
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
It's not on by default, it's unselected, so not enabled or explicitly disabled (though it is functionally disabled).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
Flashed the AGPS mod thing, and then used a GPS Test program to clear AGPS tables/cache or whatever it was.

Locks pretty quickly when I'm outside now. Hovers between 13 and 7 sat locks, and within 13 foot accuracy (lowest I've seen).

Now I have to worry about being spied on... *puts on foil hat* :rolleyes:

Usually the powerbar option in the Notification so you can just turn off/on GPS antenna as needed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] armorized:
Thanks

I've been trying out roms for quite awhile and havent been able to migrate to a new one due to unstable and glitchy roms. I have been on Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 for the longest time. This is pretty refreshing and with all the customizations i was afraid i was gonna wear out my invisishield screen xD.

Everything seems pretty smooth for the most part, every so often some minor glitches and performance issues. BT decides it doesnt want to turn on, phone freezes or randomly reboots on its own. I really like the Aroma installer and the addition of OTA updater. Keep up the good work, and thank you again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
You shouldn't be getting freezes or random reboots (I don't). See the OP for slowdown/performance related issues. (zram specifically)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] twelvebit:
Ever since installing Mimicry I'm getting semi-regular notification chimes, and I can't figure out what they are related to. There's no sign that an event has occurred out that it's related to an event. I was on Andromadus b4 previously and this wasn't happening, maybe it came up with my apps reinstalling, but I have no idea how to troubleshoot. Any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] robuser007:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nakaori:
anyone else, whos camcorder is crashing everytime you start it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] austriker27:
more than likely its because its an ICS build of android and not a straight rom from google which also causes the 3rd party camera to crash/glitch

The camcorder and camera app are one and the same, both should be functional and may just need the data and cache cleared to fix.

I loved the last one but this latest 1.4.0 is by far the BEST ROM I'VE EVER TRIED! Amazing! No problems or issues to speak of, other than the random (though now rare) garbled text that all the other ICS roms I've tried had. Great job! :good: Though I could use this rom for a long time to come, I'll keep checking back for updates because it can only get better. LOVE IT!

can you add this boot animation ?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/08/21/download-the-gorgeous-cyanogenmod-10-boot-animation/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
You could add it yourself, and then make a simple little script in /system/addon.d/ to retain the boot animation each time you upgrade mimicry.

(look at some of the existing scripts in addon.d folder and just modify the file list to preserve the boot animation zip in media/bootanimation.zip it's the 480x800 one if you have a choice of sizes)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heathenasparagus:
help: My phone has sporadic power-offs.

the problem:

phone sporadically powers off,

sporadically reboots when connected via usb to computer

bad battery data is show in notification bar.

usb port works for charging but does not recognize computer when connected.

additional evidence:

possible water damage

the story:

the phone has sustained water damage.

it did not go swimming, but water that was slowly spilling from a cup leaked near the area of the phone and the bottom lid did get wet.

being the idiot that i am i just wiped the bottom and continued using the phone.

it would no longer charge the battery, so i assumed the battery was dead, replaced it with the one from my signature and continued using the phone.

after a few days the usb port started exibiting the above behaviour,

and a month later (2 weeks ago) the current problem started.

long story short:

I don't mind buying a new battery, but since my phone is not common where i live, i would have to pay extra for shipping etc

I need to be sure this is the battery (or batteries, both work but are problematic) or be sure this is something else in which case i buy a new phone or get the current one repaired.

ideas ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
And this has to do with Mimicry how? You should probably start your own thread in the Q&A section as this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the rom itself.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] robuser007:
Is it possible to keep the laucher (I use adw) in memory ? It reloads a lot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
The launcher should have the option to keep in memory in it's own settings. Also I would not use ADW for ICS rom, rather would use Apex or one of the other options during install. ADW was best back in the day for gingerbread and older. (Also the SuperChargerV6 script included with mimicry is set not to kill apex, etc as often, if ever).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heathenasparagus:
if this is happening to someone else who has not had water damage but has mimicry maybe the issue is not water related.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Your problem indeed sounds like physical damage, so I wouldn't suspect the rom in this case, but it would still be best to start a new thread regarding it. (EDIT looks like you did)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deveb:
How to enable power consumption monitor like on second screen? Is it a 3rd party app?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Battery Monitor Widget Pro.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
If you have the V6 Supercharger mod selected in Aroma, make sure you have "stay in memory" (or similar wording) not selected in ADW.

What kbeezie said is true, though. I would recommend using an ICS based launcher for best results.
