Thanks blk for all your hard work this rom is fantastic and I have had very few issues.

I have one problem and I believe it is due to using Titanium backup after I wipe clean and install fresh. I restore all my apps and settings and for some reason gmail does not sync automatically. I have tried deleting cache, davlik, also removing cache from gmail itself, erasing data, and erasing data through Titanium. The sync in accounts is also checked. Been googling and cannot find an answer. Anyone experience this?

Thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Well, I started from a clean slate and when I launched Gmail, I checked the option to sync. A few hours later, I saw that my mail was not being pushed. But all it took was to manually check Gmail under Google under Accounts/Sync.

Try this. Uninstall Gmail. Use TiBu and wipe Play Store's data. Download Gmail again and try it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] geokuttan:
Did a full wipe and finally it worked. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GinoAMelone:
Just noticed something. The terminal emulator dies immediately if run.

Haven't done a full-wipe in a couple Mimicry releases. I'll try that tonight.

EDIT: I uninstalled terminal with TI backup and re-installed via market. Seems to be working now.

EDIT2: Now that I've got terminal working, I can try what I really was going after. Playing around with the cryptonite app and it seems to depend on the fuse kernel module. Running modprobe and lsmod, it looks like this module is not available. The cryptonite folks seem to think CM-derived ROMs ought to have it. Any thoughts blk_jack?

It's. Fluid.... Big ups..

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Yea I noticed that too, one of the tiny quirks of TiB, not all sync options are enabled when you restore the accounts.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
I didn't restore using TiBU. I merely downloaded Gmail from the market and installed it. For some reason, the sync did not have Gmail checked after I launched the app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
After a fresh install of 1.3.2 everything is crazy smooth. Better than ever. The EffectTick.ogg touch sound still appears a bit low, but it's a small price to pay for this kind of performance. I did everything from scratch. No TiBa, no restores of any kind. In fact, I was going to mention... I found the Apex beta1 to be a bit buggy - transitions into and through the app drawer had a bit of a stutter. I noticed other users reporting this and other issues in the XDA Apex thread as well. So I reverted back to the last stable build v1.2.5 and all is well. I'm sure the Android Does team is working on it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you... love this ROM. :D

Calendar issue

This is my first time with this rom - and yes I did a full wipe and did not restore backups of anything. Set it up from scratch.

It is very good by the way - I usually am a big fan of sense and this is the first time I have actually thought perhaps I could get by without it. BUT.

I have both my google account and work exchange account on the phone. I cannot seem to get calendar to show my exchange calendar, even though it is allegedly syncing. People and emails are all showing up, but not the calender - its not even showing up in the list of active calendars that can be shown.

Any hints?

Cheers
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ollidiemaus:
First of all i would like to say this rom is the damn best rom i've ever used on my dz.

But it would be great if you could make use of this new service https://www.otaupdatecenter.pro/?page=home I'm sure you've already heard of it.

It simply brings ota support which would be a awesome feature :D

TY
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
blk_jack, a thought just occurred to me about a feature that was mentioned when you first started this thread - center clock mod. What happened to that?

Also, I wiped and so far it's running better than before. Although, I'll admit I didn't reinstall a the apps I had before. A little spring (or rather, summer) cleaning.

Help Translate Andromadus!

Hey everybody! Do you like Andromadus? Do you like Mimicry? Want to give back in a small way & get credited for it?

Well you can! I've started a Crowdin project for Andromadus/Mimicry to let us translate our specific features that are currently English-only to other languages. If you're fortunate enough to know multiple languages, please take the time to head on over to http://crowdin.net/project/andromadus/invite and see if there's a language (or an existing one already translated that may have a few mistakes) you can contribute with.

Everyone who is able to help out will be given proper credit in the ROM's installer, as well as the OP.

Thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Formiak:
Great , I always wanted to translate something even though I'm using usually english. Will look at this once I'll be on pc

CM9 final release is rolling out to multiple devices tonight, VERY EXCITING STUFF!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Mimicry 1.3.2 is essentially the same as CM9 "final". There's literally 3 new patches from what was released in 1.3.2 and none of them directly affect our device's hardware. You have to understand that when CM releases a "final" version of something they're just taking a snapshot of their branches and saying "as of this point it's CM9 final". Every new Mimicry release has new changes to CM9, regardless of if CM9 has marked that period of time as a new milestone/version.

That said, here are the new patches in CM9 final that aren't in Mimicry 1.3.2: Patch #1 (doesn't affect us), Patch #2, Patch #3 (doesn't affect us)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Formiak:
Unfortunately everything in Polish is mostly translated good and this is the only language equal to the job.

Will other files will be available to translate or this is just one file ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
The strings available right now are the non-cm9 ones we've added. More strings will be available as we continue to add more features.

Thanks for looking into it though!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LGS1231:
The update from 1.3.0 to 1.3.2 was great! My phone is faster now! It was pretty laggy with 1.3.0. Thanks!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] austriker27:
I have been running this rom seemlessly for the last month or two. Its fantastic.

Recently though I have the most annoying of errors. Seems google voice will not open. I did the usual trouble shooting. Uninstalling google voice, deleting the data, re installing from market several times. Still has the issue where I click on the icon, it flashes up, then the app disappears. Its kind of like giving me a taste. Trouble is I am on prepaid and completely using google voice so this is essential for me.. It literally takes me about 20 times of clicking the icon for it the app to pop up and stay up.

Any thoughts on this? Is this some kind of bug with google voice or the rom itself because I have installed it several times.. Figured I would check here before anotehr thread posting some where for google voice

EDIT: I installed an app called watchdog lite earlier this week. Thinking perhaps it was that app I added google voice to the "white list" but it wont stay up. Most annoying. I have no other task killer (ATK, etc) or anything
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
Watchdog doesn't actually kill anything on its own... so that's not the problem. Watchdog is more of a monitor so that you can see what's in memory and how much RAM and CPU apps/processes are using... and be notified if said apps exceed the limits you've set. You can manually kill things if you want, but it doesn't do it automatically.

Sorry I can't be more helpful with your problem... other than assure you it's not Watchdog. It's a great app to keep installed though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Please read the OP and refrain from reporting issues without a logcat log. This is a development thread after all, some level of research and due diligence is expected..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JDogg1329:
Quick question, and I know I can just flash it myself but I just got Jellybean running nicely. My question is how does this run and perform compared to jellybean builds? Is it more stable. I'm looking for an ICS/JB daily driver, preferably jellybean because I like google now but if ICS is running heaps better then it'll be ICS.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] motionmonk:
Well, I read about this today:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29756226

It is a standalone package for Google Now for ICS-based phones... it might give you some options if you find a nice stable ICS ROM (lol, like Mimicry!), but don't want to go full with JB right now.

You mentioned that you have Jellybean running now; which ROM are you using?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JDogg1329:
I'm using the latest build of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1605016

It seems to be fairly stable, there's a few little bugs (No camera flash, can't seem to get MMS working, the garbled text bug) but overall it's pretty good, looks beautiful and runs pretty smoothly. The biggest issue for me is that you have to hold down the power key to unlock the phone due to kernal issues, does ICS have that problem? Thanks for the link, I heard about this but ignored it because I was on Gingerbread, might look into it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] motionmonk:
I'm very much a noob here, and Andromadus is my first rooted ROM on the G2. I really have no complaints, and the camera + flash seems to work fine for me; I also tried something called lgCamera which works fine also.

Compared to Gingerbread, Mimicry ICS has been very stable and fast; battery gets me through a whole day of usage just fine, something that was a problem in GB.

I rooted a friend's Galaxy 2S for her, which was a whole different process. I was surprised to find that the ROM selection wasn't as robust, and had to switch ROMs to find something stable enough (but as a noob, I am still trying to figure out what to pay attention to in the threads as well). It really made me glad to have found Mimicry!

I like the fact that everyone here has been very supportive and helpful too; the dev is here constantly too :good:

Count me as a happy user!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JDogg1329:
Same story with the S2 funnily enough. I can't believe how active the dev community for this awesome little phone is. It's wonderful.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] motionmonk:
Ya, you too then? Am glad to know it wasn't just me who thought that way!

Definitely all props to the devs here who have turned the promise that the Desire Z/G2 had into reality.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tvdang7:
it makes my phone run like ****. freezes like crazy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I've heard mixed reports, and of course it matters which build you use. I've been using mikey's v6 and with the exception of the slow initial load it works perfectly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Formiak:
Anybody tried to use new google translate function , I mean translating from pic . I can't get it working fluently , it is **** laggy. Probably it is somehow connected with not properly working camera in 3rd party apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmaciak:
the same was with me, just discussed it with blk_jack yesterday, probably 1.3.1 was the update but we just skipped it :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Ok, so here's a logcat of the headphone issue I reported earlier. It worked on a fresh install, but quit after a while. A reboot doesn't help. To review, I have a set of Jays One+ headphones and nothing happens when you press the button. The logcat does show that the phone recognizes the button being pressed. http://pastebin.com/NrpN4RwR

Edit: Here's my pastebin of it working: http://pastebin.com/9ejDAG8U
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oVeRdOsE.:
Wow, really funny, same here . I had to tried lot of s2 roms before finding someting stable. the only stable one was in the "original dev" section. I tough that the s2 was defective, glad not to be the only one :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmaciak:
Have you tried installing Jays app from Google Play store and use the functionality there to watch for button press?

I use Jays a-Jays 4 with this app without any problem (only one button works indeed), only mic does not work on 4 because they're supposed to be used with iPhone (luckilly works with Galaxy which is probably going to be my next phone).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Ya I have it installed. It's mostly working now. Sometimes it doesn't respond. I have yet to find the exact way to recreate the problem. It seems pretty random so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Which media player are you using? It looks like Pandora.. have you tried w/ other media players to make sure it's not just Pandora? I don't have experience w/ anything but Google Play Music & briefly Apollo, I'll admit.

Anyway it's weird because there's no errors specifically, it's just acting like the intents aren't being picked up by anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Yes, I was using Pandora, but I had the same thing with Google Play Music as well as Podkicker and the Radio.com app (horrible app, I know, but it's the only way I know of I can listen to Kevin & Bean [don't judge :D] from my phone) It worked for quite a while today and then stopped. The mic still worked, but the button didn't. Like I said earlier, I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly what causes it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Okay interesting, thanks for the debug logs, they are much appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarthaFokker:
Just flashed v1.3.2 after full wipe + SuperwipeExt4 + Fix permissions. When I signed in to google for the first time and opted to restore my settings, my previously installed apps did not start to download and install like it did on previous versions of the rom. Had to manually reinstall all my old apps.:(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Google Apps isn't always consistent on the restore/etc ability, thus why many of us prefer to use Titanium Backup when having a backup of the apps plus their settings intact is crucial. (and a lot faster since doesn't have to re-download them all).

In a nutshell, it's not the roms fault.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Happened to me too. It's hit or miss. If you have (my kind of) patience, download the apps from the market and restore only the data for some apps. Or else restore all of them using TiBU.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
I usually get annoyed with google with that feature, because it'll restore mostly apps I had uninstalled for weeks, but not some off the apps I had on there all the time :D.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Well, when I went from nightly to 1.3.0, I did a full wipe and was pleasantly surprised when it restored only the apps that I had had before I wiped. I suspect it's got something to do with the way I flashed the ROM, the gapps, EdKeys' updater, then wiped the caches and flashed the EFS wipe zip. That i didn't do the first time over.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Just stick with Titanium Backup.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] roubi:
Another good and fast alternative is app2zip.

Before flashing a new rom, make a zip of all the apps (incl. data) you want to restore, flash the rom + gapps, reboot, go through the initial setup, reboot to recovery and flash your zip.

It worked for 90% of my apps. The few apps that didn't work, I restored with Titanium.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lonely_nino:
have look on this https://www.otaupdatecenter.pro/?page=home
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
Nope. Seems like a difficult one to pin down, may even be an upstream issue right? As far as I'm concerned it is a minor annoyance and really the only "issue" I encounter on the rom. Well worth the price of admission however :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Thanks, just so you guys know though, I learned about this pretty quickly after it was announced and have already been testing it in the new test builds of mimicry. So never fear, it will be in the next release. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
What's the difference between that and goo-manager?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
Hopped on this ROM and I must say it's very smooth. Battery life has been excellent as well. Really grateful for the devs out there putting in work. I don't need a new device so I save money as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Integration ?

Though from the screenshot it would be nice if it were like 4EXT or Rom Manager, where you can select a set of zip flash afterwards, or at the very least a check box to 'stay in recovery afterwards' so you can do stuff like reflash google apps or any other tweaks needed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Goo forces you to host your rom on their servers where as the OTA Updater lets you host it anywhere. OTA Updater also seems to be more lightweight and straightforward, though it is also more limited in terms of features it has, but since it's still so new that's to be expected.

Kbeezie is right though, if you go through the process of flashing the rom automatically (you can cancel when it asks you to flash it, after downloading, and flash it yourself manually), it will reboot immediately after flashing the rom and not let you flash anything else, like gapps.

That said, I recently fixed and integrated the CyanogenMod backuptool into Aroma properly so moving forward (next version) if you're upgrading between mimicry versions you won't have to flash gapps after flashing mimicry.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Thx for the info you guys.

Sometimes, when i do a call with one contacts in the call log, the screen becomes black and not responding to power button or trackpad, the only way to wake-up the screen is to open the slide QWERTY.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dave_id:
hello,

do I really have to start a new thread?

thing is when I want to write with my physical keyboard it's QWERTY instead of AZERTY (in swiftkey I've changed it to azerty but it's not working outside it)

thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Physical keyboard (which you didn't specify before) should show the exact keys on there, outside of the keymap changes (ie: WWW -> Tab).

You'll want to find a keymap editor or patch to physically change it from qwerty.

(something to change /system/usr/keylayout/vision-keypad-fra.kl accordingly note how Key #16 starts off the qwerty string)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
You absolutely need to start a new thread since you didn't read the OP, didn't provide any helpful information & aren't following the requested method for determining, debugging & reporting the issue. The reason I'm telling you to start a QA thread is because I have no doubt you'll need assistance that goes beyond anything ROM-specific and as such would require a lot of back & forth that would fill up this thread unnecessarily.

I have no idea what problem solving methods you've tried, what ROMs you're coming from/flashing over, what wipe/restore methods you've used, etc. I'm also not asking you to respond to those questions in this thread, I'm asking you to start a new thread in QA w/ the appropriate information as well as a detailed explanation of the methods you've employed so far.

This is a development thread and as such you're expected to respect the developer's wishes as well as do a little problem solving and research on your own, ESPECIALLY when you're reporting an outlying issue that other people have reported as fixed, or one that hasn't been reported at all.

The issues that get addressed and fixed are almost always the ones where the person reporting them has been helpful and patient and provided the necessary information requested.

Anyone know better ways of making outbound phone call quicker than using Contact.apk? It seems to take 5 mins every time just to load for me to be able to make a call. Sometimes it takes so long I have to re-set my phone even.

I'm running Dataswap with 64MB's and turned off zRam which seems to work pretty well OC to 1.2Ghz

I know there's already known issues with Contact.apk and ICS for our devices, but just wondering if anyone knows better workaround on OUTBOUND calling that doesn't seem to lag/lockup our devices.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
That will be Jellybean that fixes it. Try it out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I dunno how you guys have these issues. Maybe a full wipe is in order? I just loaded up the Contacts app (first time since I booted 2 days ago!) in under 2 seconds and made a call instantly.

Granted I also don't have a billion contacts (~100) and I don't do any wonky facebook syncing & such. Only Google contacts.
