Here's an aesthetic issue: could you make it so that the status bar brightness control bar is above the "date/notification shortcuts" bar? It would look a lot more appealing.

So the order would be like

(Status bar toggles)

(Brightness control from AOKP)

(Date/andromadus notification shortcuts)

Does any one know if there is somthing know on the bluetooth with this build?

I would love to sync my contacts with my radio again like I did in CM7 :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
Thanks for the reply. This is the first time I've used the Supercharger script... so forgive my ignorance... would it be as simple as replacing 96AndroCharger in /system/etc/init.d with the file from 1.2.1? I just found the more aggressive OOM settings worked really well for me... for some reason, with the identical setup as before I'm having some lag in 1.3.0... it is especially obvious when typing somewhat quickly with the keyboard.

Any thoughts on the capacitive backlight? Very strange to see it on to some degree all of the time. Are you seeing the same behavior?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philippecr:
The new automatic brightness looks a lil under-lighted.... the screen looks dark indoor. Is there any place tat I can adjust tis?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dsip:
Settings/Display/Automatic Backlight

Tick "Use custom" and then edit the levels.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
You shouldn't be getting lag, the changes to v6 supercharger have nothing to do with input lag or the priority of the active app at all. I think you're reading too much into the changelog and thinking that's the issue.

You can just go to http://android.mimic.ca and re-patch your services.jar, but I would actually try a full wipe since I don't think it's the source of your issues.

As for the brightness, the capacitive backlight settings behavior wasn't changed from the way it was with 1.1.X. The autobrightness levels were adjusted to be more in line with the sensors, but like the above poster mentioned, you can change those yourself. The issue with the capacitive backlight is that when you have autobrightness disabled, the phone doesn't know what the light level is aside from what you've entered for autobrightness. So it uses the autobrightness levels to get a preferred brightness based on that.

Anyway what I'm saying is that the capacitive button brightness scales depending on screen brightness level just like with autobrightness, but it will always be on in some forms when using manual brightness levels, which is the same behavior we've always had in ICS.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I originally tested it like this but found it looks really strange and from feedback at the time decided to put it beneath that bar.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I'm not sure what would cause this. Perhaps check your apn settings, or do a full wipe, or try another radio? If you've selected EdKeys'. 19 lib-RIL updater disable it.

You can also use airplane mode to toggle your networks? I don't know, sorry.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aussi:
Hi blk_jack,

Do you know if anything around the bluetooth stuff changed in the new build?

Cause In the 1.1.2 build I couldnt syn my phone contacts with my radio anymore.

Which I could in CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I reverted a patch that I suspected of causing issues, though I can't say if that would solve your issue. Are you saying that between 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 you lost bluetooth sync ability? I don't think anything was changed between those versions in regards to that. Have you tried wiping your data?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PooN_HeaD:
my question is why exactly does your wifi die after installing t-mo wifi calling? I mean mine works just fine, even used wifi calling a few times already. am I just lucky or is there something else behind it? if u need me to do anything to help I gladly will.

T-Mobile G2

.19 radio

Mimicry 1.3.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] .A.J.:
blk_jack,

Odd situation I'm having that maybe you or someone else can help me with.

I can't get v1.3.0 to boot. I'm using the same method as usual. Download rom & gapps on PC, transfer to sd card, verify MD5, boot recovery, back up current rom, superwipeg2+ext4, install rom (choose options), install gapps, reboot. I keep getting stuck after the HTC screen.

I must be missing something. This is how I've always installed roms including the last version of this rom. I've downloaded it multiple times and the MD5 always matches. Ideas? Thanks for any help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I'm not sure off hand, I've never had anything like that happen myself. You should use logcat to see which error messages you're getting, though, otherwise it would just be a shot in the dark.

Anyway it's nothing that pops out in my mind since the steps you've laid out are correct. If you want, drop by the IRC channel when you've got logcat setup and I'll help you through it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pickx:
Okay thanks for the reply, I personally find it looks really strange the way it is right now... it would be so nice if you could add an option to have it above the date bar... thanks a lot
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LxDroid:
When I boot into bootloader it says "26.13.04.19_M" for radio, is that the .19 this rom recommends? I cant remember if the _m is some special one I flashed or something....

I'm in the USA on T-mobile fyi.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
That's the .19 radio that's recommended so you're good.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lonely_nino:
i add the apk into the zip file manually with winrar :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] austriker27:
I have noticed in my status bar the Wifi and cell connection often is either blue or white. I am returning to android after a year hiatus and new to ICS. What do the colours mean?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Coloured indicator means that your phone is currently connected to Google cloud (that your google account content has been synchronized with the phone)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philippecr:
Holy****, my phone is doin some thermalnuclear stuff inside my pocket and draining my battery while I'm in a movie!

I'm suspecting some bugs on the torchlight app... cos I used it to look for seats b4 the movie starts....

But I'll check further...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] John5788:
I've noticed my Processor settings in Performance menu are not sticking. I set them to 245/1612, and Set on boot is checked. But every couple hours I check the settings and they are back to the default of 368/1209. Why is this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Consult the OP and look for the Virtuous OC daemon feature you installed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chan1628:
Hey blk_jack,

Just knew minor request if it's not too much work....

Could u have an option to display the day of the week in the date showing in the notification bar?

Thx cuz that'll be helpful :)

"there is no spoon"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJMartini:
Just came over from jerl92's CM9 RC2 ROM and I have to say I'm impressed. The integration of the V6 is nice in this. Very smooth and I like a lot of the features it has from the Weather AOKP icon's on lock screen etc.

Had a lot of problems getting my WiFi working at first, but I read through thread and was able to choose the No option and flash WiFi calling app manually which worked.

Hopefully this ROM will give me a lot better battery life than other one.

Thank you OP blk_jack
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Funny you should mention that, custom date strings are one of the new features coming very soon in the next revision :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] John5788:
Thanks. Is there a link or FAQ somewhere that explains the Virtuous OC daemon? I want to determine if I want to use it or not.

Edit: Nevermind, I found a good explanation.

Is OC/UV Beater app still supported to change the settings of Virtuous OC daemon?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aussi:
I stepped in on version 1.1.2 and Cyan RC1.

Since that time I noticed that my phone contacts would not sync with my car radio anymore. Which I could on the official CM7.

By wiping data you mean going in clockwork mode and perfom some wipes? Or you mean wiping some data of the services on the phone via apps menu.

Cause I though when installing a new andromadus rom it perfoms the data wipes at the end of installing the rom, right?

Hope you can help me out, cause I would love to use my bluetooth radio for phoning ppl :D

Thanks !!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I don't use bluetooth myself for anything but music, so you may have to ask others who do. That said, I know there are some issues w/ ICS on our devices being unable to perform certain things that they could. Also from what I gather this is something that affects all ICS roms for the vision. I'm not sure if what I'm describing applies specifically to you, though it may, I'm just saying that in general certain devices have had issues w/ bluetooth on ICS where they hadn't on GB.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Formiak:
I don't know if anyone has the bug with turning on and off the screen when I don't touch the phone. Kinda weird , phone itself turns on and immediately becomes dark. How to solve this ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Try w/ just the ROM+gapps & connect via adb / logcat on boot to see if there are issues. The only thing I can think of is maybe you got a bad download of the ROM? You could also try to fix permissions after Aroma exits.

EDIT:

Wait hold on, did you wipe /data? You never specified if you did a full wipe. If you're coming from MIUI you definitely need to wipe /data
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
It would seem that Wifi tethering isn't working on this ROM. Haven't tested USB tethering. I had USB tethering working before on Andromadus B4, and tested wifi tethering momentarily, but my laptop's wifi just shows the hazard icon after connecting to my phone's access point.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Tethering (both WiFi and USB) isn't working for me as well. Here's my log: http://pastebin.com/fspzs8fw
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csolanol:
Same here. Looks like the dhcp service on the phone isn't working. PC stays waiting for an ip for the interface but never gets it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hai_Duong:
@blk_jack can u post me ur battery drain statistic??? The battery use with display on is too high somehow :( I only chat with some friends...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tarroyo:
That link is to the older CM9 Boot animation, Here's the more recent one http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=o05PQRO1UW4

Scratch that, I apologize. I thought the cid boot animation was already in CM9
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] terrormattie:
Thank you for this rom! Its the best of both for me.

What I would like is to have the trackpad/ball (wathever you call it) bind to the home button action. I dont care about the trackpad native functions.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Thanks for the report guys. I'm rushing to leave right now but I've looked into it briefly. It could possibly be a result of new DHCP lease time params.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/227ed7f0e9bd4f79ed9fff0fa94ce2326fe3242b

Again, only was able to look very briefly but will get on it when I have access to a PC.

EDIT:

Just thought about this and I don't think it's the DHCP lease params. Are you guys able to connect if you bypass dhcp & grab a static ip?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Here's a screenshot of my usage statistics after 15h unplugged. 2.5h screen on, 3h awake, etc. [link]
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magno23:
i tried again and now it works, i probably forgot to do a full wipe in the first time i tried
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csolanol:
It works with manual network config so i think that commit is the issue. I lost tethering in my own builds from andromadus on June 10 i think...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
I hope he keeps the original cm android and not the new cid. Atleast make it an option to choose between andromadus, cm9, and cm9 cid.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xxqbnxx:
Awesome! Thanks for this giving it its run today love your work and the whole Andromadus team!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dikamilo:
Can I flash this ROM over AA nightly 97 without wipe ? I just don't want to setup all from scratch.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Seconded. Cid is really lame. I prefer Andy. He has more pizazz.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
YMMV. Make a backup first and wipe if there are FCs or lag, etc
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
If I include the new CM9 bootanimation it'll be as another option. I really dislike their new mascot, he creeps me out so much.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Would be nice to narrow down the timeframe in which a change to the codebase started causing issues. That other guy said alpha13? Surely it wasn't that long ago? People would've commented I'm sure.. The reason I don't think it's from the patch on the 5th of may that I linked earlier is I find it hard to believe that we've had broken tethering in so many test builds without anybody saying anything.

I just got to my cottage and setup wifi, so later tonight I shall peruse the commits and find out what's causing the issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
This isn't a device-specific request, but it is one of my biggest ICS annoyances:

The multitasking menu displays just your recent apps, swiping apps away just hides them from the menu.

What I would like is for it to only display running and cached apps, with a swipe away killing the process.

Is that possible?

I would be so, so, so grateful for that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amogil:
That would be great as well I vote for that ant just want to say this is a nice roms runs smoothly....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Disable the trackball wake. There is a (hardware) glitch w/ the Vision where under certain light conditions it will trigger the trackball. I have no idea why or how this happens but it's been reported since the phone was first released. Either that or just turn it over so the sensor can't pick up light when you're not using it :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Formiak:
I disabled 'trackball wake' but it didn't make any diffrence I left turned on trackball unlock , maybe this causes that ?

Edit:

Turned off too and tested but it still flashes the screen
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Hm then I have no idea. Must be an app causing this. Debug w/ logcat & monitor to see which app is waking up the device. I assume you full wiped & have this issue w/ a clean ROM too so it's gotta be an app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
For what it's worth, my G2 syncs contacts with my Ford no problem. Perhaps it " reads" contacts differently than yours.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stranded.eu:
Hey I have a problem with headset buttons, they simply don't work at all. They worked fine in earlier (1.2.1) version. Also when I pick up the call no one can hear me unless I unplug the headphones.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

Thanks to some troubleshooting and blk_jack's help it turns out that my headset is ****ed, basically when I move around the cable the headset buttons work flawlessly.

TL;DR Headset works just fine on this rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Hop on IRC and I'll try to debug this for ya
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mapheG2:
Does anyone know how I can change the settings of the physical keyboard? Prior to using this ROM (which I think is fantastic!), I liked how the keyboard was. If I wanted to enter a special character or a number, I would just tap "ALT" and then click the corresponding key, and "ALT" would just go away after that one hit. Same thing for capitalization, just tap the up arrow once and only the first letter is capitalized, whereas if you hit it twice, then it will be in all caps.

However, in Mimicry, you tap it once and it has the effect of tapping it twice which locks in either alt or caps lock, which I don't like. Can I change any settings? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
Thanks very much for the reply, blk_jack. I did perform a full wipe before flashing 1.3.0. And I haven't added any apps or incorporated any new/different settings with the fresh setup. I think I restored all of 5 apps with TiBa. I guess that's why I was thinking perhaps the Supercharger script could be the one variable responsible for the lag. But I do trust your judgement... I've fixed permissions along with all other suggestions in the OP. :confused: I think I'll uninstall the few apps I restored and reinstalll them one at a time... see if that makes a difference. I usually don't have these kinds of troubles... sheesh. Thanks again. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
This is a bug in SwiftKey 3, not the rom. Try another keyboard or revert back if you can (to SwiftKey x).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
What if he didn't even have swiftkeys installed? (didn't see anything to indicate he had).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Every time that issue has been reported it has been due to a third party keyboard and is not a known issue with ICS on the vision.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] logicmd:
Compass is not working with Google Maps ONLY

I've been using Mimicry through 1.1.0 1.1.1 to 1.3.0

And I suffer a problem in all three version of the ROM that

Compass is not working with Google Maps ONLY!

The GPS can give me the correct location but there is no compass arrow in Google Maps

In other map apps, compass is just fine.

Detail about my phone is as follows.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Accelerometer issue maybe? (least in the way it's accessed by google maps for that particular version).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
Just wanted to quickly post and say that somewhere between my 2nd 'fix permissions' and reinstalling a few apps the mysterious lag has vanished! I also spent a few minutes adjusting the capacitive button backlight and everything is super fantastic once again. :victory:

Sorry for being a pain in the neck. :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
By the way main thing I can think of (Though why it would work in non-google apps... no clue), when the last time you did an EFS wipe outside of installing mimicry?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aussi:
Hi blk_jack,

I checked the apps list and clear the data for 'bluetooth sharing' and my contacts are synced on m radio agian :D!

I think that was the trick or either something changed of the bleutooth in the new 1.3.0 build.

Anyways thanks for point out the wipe data. I never thought there was some bluetooth data stored on the phone :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] raydar670:
I was wondering if there were any plans to backport the "vibrate on call connect" feature from CM7? I found it very useful.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ibemad1:
You seem to be a lot more active now... so I'll deposit my suggestion from earlier. We should have the ability to disable the alt+backspace "delete the entire line" feature. I keep wiping a ton of text accidentally.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mirko935:
Open Phone and go to its settings. The option is right there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zappoo:
Have noticed that when i am typing emails, sometimes, the email will suddenly close and i will lose it. It returns me to my inbox. I am guessing due to memory priority changes, maybe?? DId not ONCE happen on 1.1.12.. but happens regularly on 1.30
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Active apps aren't killed like that, they're prioritized in the OOM stack. Maybe try clearing email app data or loading up logcat and finding out what the debug message is when the app dies.

You can also uninstall v6 supercharger and see the results.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Wow that's fantastic! Going to put a note in the FAQ about that specifically, though I think I do mention clearing app data (which is in itself doing a wipe of sorts).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
You can already do this yourself with somewhat minimal effort actually. Go into your keymap files for /system/usr/keylayout and find the keyboard you use (depends on your phone's localization) and modify the backspace line (or maybe delete?) . You just need to remove the alt modifier. Once you do that simply hot reboot.

If that doesn't work you're likely editing the wrong keyboard file, so use logcat and grep for vision on boot to see which one is being loaded, though if it's a G2 its the vision-keymap file and if it's the English DZ its the vision-keymap-wwe file.

Hope that helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PooN_HeaD:
since I see it in the OP I just wanna give a +1 to "swipe away all recent apps at once" I really like that feature, seems like it could help keep lag down

T-Mobile G2

.19 radio

Andromadus Mimicry 1.3.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shady503403:
Agreed. Miui v4 has it and I really enjoyed it.. id also like to see option to center clock, and anyway to get battery % displayed with text only.. or top bar battery. My personal favorite.

Thanks for the rom thou, works wonders on the vision. Ill be on this for sure until a stable jb rom is out. Thanks OP
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mirko935:
I don't understand why would anyone want to close the apps (especially all apps) which are in the background. Unless the app is misbehaving and thereby eating CPU time, it makes absolutely no difference in regard to performance if you have zero, one or seventeen inactive background apps.

Edit: In fact, leaving them in the background is usually beneficial because they don't need to load up if you open them again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tOz666:
I'm using Tasker app to automate GPS on/off toggle when i'm on my car (to avoid using the Settings menu) and when I try to select this action Tasker tells me that Google blocked the automatic GPS state toggling feature on Android 2.2+, and if I want it back I must use a custom ROM like Cyanogen that has this limitation removed. AFAIK this rom is a modified CM9, sholdn't it have the limitation removed? I tested ILWT CM7 and EliteMod ICS and both don't complain when I use that Tasker action ...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Is tasker a device admin?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tOz666:
It wasn't. Now it is and its showing the same behavior.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Yea, it should work exactly as CM9 since there are no changes in that regard. I know that often Tasker will fail doing jobs when it's not a device admin for me, though, but maybe it's something on Tasker's end too? I dunno, maybe an issue w/ not wiping data or something, who knows.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
I finally got home last night and flashed the 1.3 (flashed ROM, gapps, Edkey's updater and EFS wipe and then fixed permissions)

Performance improvement is definitely noticeable and the changelog is a gift that keeps giving! However, by habit, I turned on WiFi Tethering and my wife's phone could not connect. I don't remember the last time tethering worked, but I think it was before 1.1.2. I will try to reset the password and try again, but can someone confirm that tethering works?

Great work, blk_jack. I love the vacuous looks on my couple of colleagues who have the Atrix when I show off my phone (though I stare at their phones' rapid response to launching Phone.apk with jealousy)!! Hope CM10 fixes that.
