Yes, thx. Now I remember. I LOVE the new Notification "Center". And what HTC device is this? "EVA_UL 36C2"?

EDIT: I see its been benchmarked already: http://nena.se/nenamark/view?version=2&device_id=1580

I'm guessing that is the device the Nexus 7 is tethered to? I don't really know. It was supposed to be a tablet review :P.

anyone else has the problem with wifi where its basically useless when the screen is off? btw my sleep policy is on never.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
go to recovery and try to reflash the rom again but just install the kernel. That should fix your problem.

I dont have any problems with the wifi on 1.1.2.

Hey guys, I forgot to ask. For those of you who use Battery Monitor Widget, what are your voltage ranges for the battery?

great rom

hi,

I have recently installed Andromadus Mimicry rom on my desire z and I must say I am very impressed how nice it works. Thanks to all developers that make this rom so good.

But there is something that I miss in this rom. It is the abbility to launch apps by long pressing menu or search button (this was possible in cm7), so I wonder are there any chances to get this functionality in next updates of this rom?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KeepTriin:
I like this ROM. It's fast and smooth. Thanks Blk_Jack

However I've also got a question and apologies if this is the wrong thread, but it does seem to be pertinent to Mimicry... I use DW Contacts & Dialler Pro. In other ROMs (CM9Bx & Audacity B3/4) I can use this as my default dialler and call logging app, but Mimicry doesn't seem to recognise this and dumps me into the system's phone app after every call. If I'm being dumb, please flame away, but is it possible in Mimicry to set DW Contacts & Dialler as the default call log app? Am I missing a switch/setting somewhere? I've tried clearing the default settings for the phone app in the hope that I would then be able to set DW Dialler as the default, but sadly, no joy. All advice welcomed, even if it's to post this elsewhere.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
To all those that might be potentially curious, Mimicry 1.1.2 is built off the same source as Audacity Beta 5 (released today). The only difference in Mimicry's actual source code are the additional mods/tweaks branches (Notification Shortcuts, Recent Apps to Search, Sense 4.0 style Recent Apps, Date/Status Bar, etc) and a patch that fixes the FCs for Google Voice and the faster app loading patch that I snuck into 1.1.2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Since its 3 days ahead, whats new in andromadus compared to mimicry? And whats this big thing upcoming they're talking about? ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
As I just said above, Mimicry 1.1.2 is built off the *same* source as Audacity B5. I mean literally the same source. The only thing that's new are things added to Mimicry. Audacity B5 is built off the Andromadus repo as last synced days ago.

The big thing is an experimental Linux 3.0 kernel that Flinny, Fyodor & Flemmard have been working on the past month or so. It's almost entirely functional save a few things so we'll see how Flinny tests it in the next few days or so. It'll likely come out for testing in his Test builds though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
I verified MD5 using "Android File Verifier" after I had transferred it to my SD. It was weird, 3 different downloads of 1.1.2 did not boot, but my first try of 1.1.1 did. After I just flashed 1.1.2 over and everything is peachy now.

Kudos on the rom, everything running absolutely great. Chrome REALLY sucks, but it seems like that is the case with most non Nexus devices. Loving it so far, thank you sir!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BacchusFLT:
Just installed the mimicry today and Goomanager notified my that my ROM had an update, which was the Andromadus b5. Goomanager can obviously not tell that I am on mimicry, and mimicry is not an option under the compatible ROMs.

Will go abroad and with the roaming fees applicable I will keep the andromadus b5 with me just in case, but keep minicry as the installed OS.

Thx dudes for magnificent work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
So I just got my hands on 1.1.2. I didn't install gapps after installing and let it boot, and then I did a quick boot into recovery while it was still loading, installed gapps, messed up something, reinstalled the ROM, installed gapps, and then booted in and added both my google accounts. Yikes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Oh I know its built from the same source, i was just asking was there new merges since .2 was released. Dont worry, i wasnt going back ;)

And nice! A 3.0 kernel huh. What will that do/improve? I know JB will be a great improvement on our phone.

Root Call Blocker

I did a clean wipe of 1.1.1 and flashed Ed's radio updater/gps fix. Everything was fine. Then I flashed 1.1.2 kernel without a wipe and the radio updater and I began to lose signal randomly during the day. Only a reboot fixed it. I also realized that I had Root Call Blocker installed which worked admirably (given that I was not able to send my Spam contacts to voicemail straight). RCB does notify that there would be a temporary loss of signal when it first launches.

Anyway, point is, I have uninstalled RCB (hoping that send to voicemail works now) and I seem to be able to hold signal. Just an FYI if anyone else was using RCB.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
I have seen this bug mentioned already in the thread, but was unfortunately unable to reproduce it with the logcat running. Entered a very graphicly demanding game, the old phone didn't like it and I had to force close. After the force close volume decreased substantially and it wouldn't return to normal until a reboot.

If you need a logcat I'll be on the lookout for it to happen again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gigamaster89:
Just installed this rom and it works great. I notice that SOME of my events from my google account calendar is not syncing over though, any advice?

EDIT - might just be all the old events that's not syncing. Don't see an option to change though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
I've just noticed that the multitasking menu is very very quick compared to earlier. Maybe because I haven't gotten around to using all my apps, but I set the double tap in nova to open my recent apps, and every single time, it's really quick. And also, might be a placebo effect or my gapps **** up but this particular iteration feels much faster than before.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I've too noticed this. I think it's because of the patch I merged in that fixes sluggish app load.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
also noticed. :good:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
I flashed v1.1.2 over 1.1.0 without incident. Everything is perfect. :)

I do have one quick question that I'm sure you guys can answer. I used 7-Zip to open the ROM and replaced several fonts and some system app icons. I don't know how I've never noticed this before, but doing so changes the MD5sum. Other than verifying the sum before making my alterations, there really isn't any way of confirming that the file is not corrupted before flashing, is there?

Thanks again, blk_jack, et al. for all the time you've put into this ROM. Even the OP is quite meticulously laid out. It's great to be able to skip directly to the discussions of the lastest update.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterismos:
why notification toggles disapear sometimes? is only me?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Does this have anything to do w/ wifi calling or the 19 radio lib-RIL / GPS. so updater? Nothing changed in the ROM gps-wise except for those packages and if you installed one of them on the wrong radio, etc.

Please read the OP to help troubleshoot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Did you clear app data? Logcat? Full wipe? Come on guys, put a little effort into these things.

There are detailed instructions on what to do should you encounter issues after you flash the rom, as well as a FAQ and further instructions in the OP.

I'm not singling you out zappoo, this applies to anyone reporting an issue, but everyone should be following those instructions before leaving a comment in here. It makes it very difficult for me to help anyone if I'm just given vague details about a problem that could very well be solved by wiping app data or doing a wipe.

Thanks

Everything is in Ext4 format apart from the SD card (fat32). This shouldn't affect performance should it?

Also this probably isn't a DZ problem but anyone know why my exchange calendar isn't syncing?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Sdcard as fat32 is standard on Android, ICS included.

Not sure what to tell you regarding exchange, mine syncs without issue. Try logcat to see errors.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Make sure all of your calendars are syncing, if you have more than one (i.e. events, holidays, to-do, etc)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Think of the MD5sum as just that.... the sum of an equation. The equation being all the various data in the rom which generates an MD5 Sum. If you add something to an equation, even if it's just 1kb, the sum of the equation changes.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philippecr:
not sure if it relates to 19 radio lib-RIL / GPS, but i've select that option when I update. I've tried to reflash tat 26.13.04.19 radio (i'm already on 19), clear cache, dalvik cache and EFS wipe, but no luck. :(

oh ya, the GPS icons on notification bar isn't showing either.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Do you have GPS Status, or some other app for faster gps fix/lock installed on your phone?

@blk_jack, I don't know if you saw one of my previous posts, but could the rom installer and the installers for wifi calling/lib-ril updater be having some kind of clash when mounting system, unmounting system?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
It's been mentioned and something I've chalked up mentally as a feature to add, but it's not a priority right now since you can already independently adjust the system volume for the camera focus/shutter noise.

Settings -> Sound -> System
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
No such luck Ed, I double checked all the methods used. The installed files and build.prop changes after installing from Aroma vs. manually flashing the zip are identical. The system is changed exactly the same with both methods.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Thanks for checking.....there's been a few users with similar issues to philippecr posting in the wifi calling/ lib updater threads. I'm thinking the extra "fix" data that some faster fix apps download to cache is creating some of these gps problems.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
One small thing I just noticed - and I checked the Andromadus bug tracker and did not see mention of it - is that when I receive a notification while the device is charging, the LED in the ear piece blinks, along with the trackball LED - totally normal. But only momentarily. After a few minutes (at most) the ear piece LED stops emitting any light, while the trackball LED continues as usual for a bit longer. And then both stop completely. Which is weird - to glance at your charging phone and not see any indication of the charge, nor notifications. It appears as though I'm seeing the same behavior when the phone is not charging as well. Perhaps this is normal? If this has been addressed and I missed it - I sincerely apologize. I have looked at this thread as well as the Andromadus Audacity thread. I was going to hang on until the next major release to flash clean... just wondering if I'm the only one experiencing it, or if it's standard in this ROM --- not so much trying to "report a bug." ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zappoo:
Facebook problem fixed an hour later - it seems that there were too many requests or something from what i googled - so please ignore the issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Same here. But its been like this since most of CM7, so I'm guessing its how CM likes it. Remember, Andromadus pulls from CM source also.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
Hmm... I used a CM7 based ROM (ILWT) prior to Mimicry and had quite a different experience with notifications. Not a big deal, more of a curiosity on my part... and I do appreciate the reply. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philippecr:
Tried. Doesn't lock to anything
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
There are a number of things you can do to fix GPS. Reset AGPS, if you're European / Asian you can flash that specific lib-RIL, try with or without EdKeys' GPS package, flash the .19 radio with proper rcdata, etc. They're mostly described in EdKeys' threads and better left discussed outside of this thread though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] osaeed:
To blk_jack and others you guys did an excellent job of presenting the features on the OP, and making a such a great installer interface as well as the rom itself.

More devs should present like this. Its very professional! Thank you so much guys!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philippecr:
this time I tried reinstall the ROM thru AROMA again, and untick that Edkey's ril gps option. And the GPS got back online right away.... wonder wat is the problem now...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Do you have the actual radio+rcdata.img flashed?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philippecr:
I used to have .19(no rcdata) when i'm on 1.1.0, then later i flash the one with rcdata wit 1.1.2 with the gps+ril tools when I install 1.1.2(which broke my GPS), what I do to make the GPS works again is reinstall the 1.1.2 without that gps+ril tool and it works again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
hey blk_jack, I just happened to see this on the XDA twitter account.

This rom have support for AGPS? If yes, i must enable it? If no, is possible to add them?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tarroyo:
Using v1.1.2 I'm seeing a issue with performance governors, whenever I change any governor it changes itself back. Example: If I change smartass to 'powersave' or 'conservative' shortly after that I'll check and its changed back to smartass.

I did install the Virtuous OC kernel during the installation process.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
That's why. The Virtuous OC Daemon controls your screen on/off governor & CPU frequency min/max levels. If you wish to modify them, you need to modify the virtuous_oc files yourself (and restart the daemon) or download a client that will let you do it. I don't typically mess w/ the governor/cpu frequencies these days after having tested all kinds of combinations since February, but I used to use the OC/UV Beater app.

EDIT: If you don't want the Virtuous OC Daemon to control the CPU levels/governor, you can reflash the ROM & de-select it. (Or just not select it in the first place :P)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
AGPS is built into Android.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
This reminds me of a post on the XDA frontpage in February that I checked out for the G2. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23050736#post23050736

After a bunch of testing, I didn't find it actually changed anything noticeable and the initial effects I felt were just V6 Supercharger. Though they're slightly different hacks, I believe they have the same effect.

Lemme know how it fares for you.. it might be different now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aaasey786:
Theres this one bug that really annoys me. I would be in the gym listening to music from poweramp and then if i receive a text my music plays through the speaker since its a notification. is there anyway to prevent the use of the speak when u have headphones plugged in. Other than that the Andromadus team did amazing with this room smooth and as power saving as it can be
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
The notification sound being on speaker while headphones are plugged in (and music is playing) looks like an upstream issue. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
I'm guessing just a nandroid and testing this out right? But since the O2X is a Tegra 2 phone, I'm not sure those optimizations for the dual core will help with our phones. That's why I posted on here, because my understanding is very minimal.

Well, I don't know if the notification comes on speaker, but one thing's for sure, I have no audio focus loss. That is my notification plays in the background while my music is playing and I REALLY like that. I would much rather not have my music lose focus when a notification is playing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I completely agree. Ideally there would be a configuration that lets you setup the duck/silence for focus loss (cm7 had it?), but for now this is good to me. I often have my notifications either muted, on vibrate, or extremely low. When I listen to music, however, I listen to it loudly. So what would sometimes happen would be if I was in the car listening to music through the car speakers and get a notice, my notification sound would annihilate my eardrums.

That said, I can understand if you're being all quiet with your headphones on and the speaker alerts how it would not be desired :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aaasey786:
Agreed thanks for the support
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jef_k:
I'm now on the right thread... :highfive:

First, Aroma Installer is a very good and reliable idea. Great.

I'm comming from Audacity Beta5, everything works fine without wipe till my phone freeze. Have to unmount the battery to restart it. Many reboot, everytime the same problem.

I've finally wipe everything and then it seems to doesn't freeze anymore. I'm restoring my stuff at the moment...

Mimicry with all tweaks included is very reliable, no more spend of time.

Thanks for work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mirko935:
I'd just like to say that my problems with freezes have apparently been caused by Daemon Controller. I've been using it for a long time on other ROMs and never noticed any problems until I've installed Mimicry 1.1.1.

I was already preparing backups to do a full wipe, but remembered that it could be Daemon Controller because a couple of times my frequencies got all messed up with it setting 368 max for no reason etc. and since I've uninstalled it two days ago, my phone runs far more smoothly (I was actually really surprised at how fast it became) and I haven't had a single freeze or slowdown, so I suggest avoiding that app and using OC/UV Beater if you need to change the default clocks.

Of course, it could be that it's not just that app's fault but a combination of factors, I might try and test if needed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bogdan5844:
I have a weird battery consumption problem.

If the screen is off, drainage is nil. (I left it last night at 48%, woke up with it at 47%).

If the screen is on, drainage is humongous (1% every 30-40 seconds or so).

Betterbatterystats shows a lot of usage on emmc-qd (whatever the hell that is).

I have applied the RIL automatcher thingy - apps didn't change from wifi to mobile, I have yet to see if that's solved.

Any ideas? Android reports the screen or Android System (it varies) as the top battery monger. It's ridiculous! I can barely get 6 hours out, whilst with the stock ROM I was getting 13-14 hours. Andromadus beta 4 got me close to 22-24. I am a heavy user, so those results are with WiFi, GPS, Mobile Data and screen mostly on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
I too have the missing notification issue reported earlier. For me it would occur while I was in another app such as Facebook. If I was at the home screen or in the go sms app, I would get the notification. I uninstalled go sms and the problem still occured. To my under educated mind, it looked like messaging was getting kicked out of memory, so I uninstalled the V6 Supercharger mod this morning and will test through the day.

Out of curiosity, what V6 settings did you use? I noticed when running the script with aggressive settings on earlier Andromadus builds, incidents such as this would occur.

Running Mimicry 1.1.2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
It's setup to use Multitasking actually. I'm wondering if using any of the Performance memory options (zRam, Asset purging, KSM) would be causing or affecting (either positive or negative) this issue some people seem to have.

Let me know if you find anything, I don't get nearly enough text messages to be a good case study, but if there's a way to reliably reproduce the issue then it shouldn't be too difficult to fix.

Hi blk_jack, made a flashable zip with 3.0 kernel and modules from flinny's beta. Flashed it over mimicry and all is working ok but wifi. bcmdhd doesn't load in the kernel when i switch on wifi. Tried to load it manually but nothing. Tried to load all the modules in system/lib/modules but same result. Do i need something more.

Ty.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
You do, yea. There are a bunch of framework changes that need to be made in addition to just the kernel. You'll have to ask Flinny the specifics as offhand I don't recall.
