[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nelsdzyre:
As usual, the only thing that really frustrates me about ICS rom is the awesome battery drain. urgh. Even when I leave it clock max at 806, 10-15 brightness, only wifi is running, most of the time piloting in airplane mode, I only get 3 hours max usage of normal internet usage.

Battery issue aside, I really can't wait for next update to come. I need the fix for mic issue so badly [for voice recognition - where the speaker suddenly reduced so low all of a sudden]

I'm not sure it is chrome fault or not but google chrome seems to be running at 1/3 speed of a normal browser.

The graphic glitch is still there from time to time [common issue for ICS]

At some point charging can cause your battery gets very hot [Please take note of your battery temperature - just hold your phone is enough to tell. I suggest to take out the metal cover apparently the heats traps transfer to there make it worst. I have a batter that grown fat over 2 days of using ICS rom. true story]

Also can anyone tell me why isn't Google Hangout app is not available in this rom? If I remember correctly, other ICS rom or Sense 4.0 roms will automatically give me the Hangout app whenever I install Google+.

Well, at least Google Now (jellybean feature) works great on this rom. You just need to know how to install it.

Looking forward to new updates! Its not a coincidence or mere stories that this rom is by far the best ICS rom out there for G2.

regards,

Nels

Id second that motion :)

On a seperate note on the old WM5/WM6 device (Hermes, raphael etc..) there was a tweak to help with Wifi range. Ie the wifi was set to favour battery life over range and vice-versa.

Im on holiday at the moment and the wifi provided isnt very good signal-wise. My laptop states 4 bars out of 5 but the G2 reports 1 at best.

Is there a tweak/app around for this??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] farris:
I'm using this rom for three days now and I'm very happy with it.

However, two remarks:

- sometimes my data connection doesn't work; switching flight mode on/off (so it's reconnecting) works for the next couple of hours. WiFi works always.

- Is it possible to tweak the vibration? I hate HTC's vibration motors, it's always too noisy. I had an iPhone for a couple of weeks and I was very happy with the vibration mode, it was a very gentle vibrates, perfect during meetings. However, HTC's vibration (all HTC's I had were too noisy) is like an earthquake. It's just as loud as my ringtone. So it has no prupose for me to put my phone on vibrate because everyone can hear it.

Is it possbile to tweak the vibration pattern so it's very gentle? I hate this very much :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Just to clarify what I mean by this; with Swiftkey X it shows predictions and will autocorrect/autopunctuate for me when I use the hardware keyboard. It will show and let me choose a suggested word, etc. That's the functionality I haven't been able to find in other keyboards. I'm a registered swype beta user but the last version of it I tried about a month ago didn't have predictions for the hardware keyboard :<
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
The wifi data switching issue has been addressed by one of EdKeys' packages. If you're European / Asian, look in the OP for a corresponding thread link.

As for the vibration settings.. I'm not entirely sure offhand. On an OS-level there is a default haptic duration, so to speak, but I don't believe it can be customized. I also think some apps use their own.

For notifications though there may be market apps that can handle it for you, though maybe someone else who has used something along those lines can chime in.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dukenukemx:
First I've ever seen a rom that has a menu to select what you want installed. Pretty damn cool. Wish roms did this more often.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
So the sw kb (swiftkey) assists the hw kb also? I've never heard or seen that (I think). Can u link me to a video of this cuz this sounds interesting. I usually like my hw kb mostly vanilla (no auto correct/predictions), other than auto punctuate and auto capitalize.

But sorry, thought u meant strictly the sw kb for quick predictions.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slufoot69:
Does anybody know or nowhere the voice recognition is located? I used to be able to bring up my sms messaging and click the little mic key by the spacebar and speak my message it would then write out my sms for me to send... I really miss that... Thanks for all involved.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Yea it's a toggle in SwiftKey. It's kind of weird when you first enable it but I mean it's the same as the software keyboard where space auto-completes and it auto-corrects, etc. I'm a total convert and it works great for me.

I try to use the software keyboard as little as possible. Our screen size makes it so difficult to type effectively on that thing and just knowing the keyboard is a slide away makes it worse.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Oh ok. And i'm actually the oppisite. I used to use the kb more often, but once I got used to swype on it, I was a total convert and only used the hw kb for long messages. So the screen size wasn't an issue with swype. Tap typing kind of. But my G2 days are numbered tho. With the price drop and Jellybean, I will be converting to a G-Nexus. Alot of ppl are also converting from other phones like iPhone, so the G-Nexus section here at XDA will be booming even more soon. Alot of great mods I've seen there. Yes its a year old, but its still nice all around, plus I can just sell it for the upcoming Nexus phone (hopefully out of a choice of 5 like the old rumors said).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I still can't get over not using a hardware keyboard. So I'm holding out to see if these November rumors of a nexus QWERTY device pan out. If not then I may start looking for phones w/o a keyboard, but we'll see.

A bunch of friends have the Galaxy Nexus but I just dislike Samsung. Plus no sdcard is a deal breaker. I have a 32GB microSD in my phone w/ only 900MB free so.. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrvanx:
If true then hello to my next device!! Just in time for my 2 year limit on the Z:

2 Years with my Hermes (HTC Tytn)

2 Years with my Raphael (HTC Touch Pro)

2 Years with my Vision (HTC Desire Z)

New device wanted with hardware qwerty.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wrapper:
Exactly the same here, though I was Tytn II and then Touch Pro.. I don't understand why these companies aren't hearing the demand for QWERTY devices.

Sounds not being played by speakerphone

I posted this in the Audacity thread and got no help. So I am posting it here.

Randomly, and frequently (of late), the sounds (notification, ringtone) are not coming from the speakerphone, but from the ear piece. This makes them barely audible and only a reboot fixes it. A couple of others in the Audacity thread also are experiencing it.

Is this a known bug? Any tips on how to get around it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wrapper:
I've had this issue on other roms, but often when I receive calls the phone simply doesn't wake quick enough for me to answer the call. I've increased my sleep min-clock speed using OC beater, but I assume that the settings provided with this rom are supposed to be sufficient for this?

I also think the request for a hardware option to answer calls would be very useful if it helps to overcome this issue!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jcmaddox1:
Hope you dont mind, I'm trying to port this ROM to the Desire HD/Inspire4G :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
I understand, but most of the great devices are non-kb, plus i'm tired of the added thickness and weight to the phone. Since there are great 1st and 3rd party sw kb's it won't be a pain as much as back then. And I never heard the rumor of a possible kb Nexus. I know Tmo USA is releasing the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze Q w/ a 5-row kb, Android 4.0.4 w/ a 720p screen next month. But hopefully they'll have a kb Nexus device for the kb fans/diehards.

Also i'll just suck it up on the limited storage in the G-Nexus. Plus I only have a 8GB mSD in my G2, so i'm used to it, but I DO WANT expandable storage in the next Nexus, hopefully.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
For me, somebody who uses ssh clients, IRC, chat/forum clients, etc more than most anything else on my phone, it's not just the actual hardware keys that I prefer. I also prefer not having the keyboard take up half the screen. I find it maddening to attempt to ssh or chat with the keyboard blocking an insane amount of space. Hardware keyboards gracefully allow for fullscreen content while typing, something a lot of people overlook :)

You also have to compromise between something like the hacker keyboard or a more chat-friendly predictive/swype keyboard depending on your activity. If you're someone who just uses your phone for chatting/texting, web browsing, video/music content I could understand, but I tend to type an awful lot in terminals where I need a ton of typically unneeded characters [in chat].
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Ohhh ok, gotcha. Yea, you're gonna need a hw kb for all that. And yea, I mainly just do normal texting/typing, etc. Not too much terminal. And I don't like sw kb taking up screen space also, but imma just have to suck it up and get used to it. Atleast I get less thinkness, weight, and better all around phone. The OEMs are neglecting hw kb phones these past years tho.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ddotpatel:
Hope someone has time for a possibly stupid question,.....

Where can I find the oc/uv gui thing. Has it been put into a menu somewhere or should it still be the standalone app like in ILWT? .... fresh install, used superwipe4ext, definitely selected option in Aroma, have even reflashed to make sure I selected it! ....... any help or if anyone can point out what an idiot I'm being please!!!??????
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rc_enzo:
It's in Settings, at the bottom "Performance". There's no standalone app, it's embedded in your options.

And also, if you have selected the Virtuous OC Daemon, you don't even need to touch them, since it works silently but efficiently.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
You need to install one on your own. The above poster is partially correct but if you use the Virtuous OC Daemon setting anything in Performance will immediately get overwritten by the daemon. That said, you don't need to modify the default Daemon configs, but if you really want to just google an OC/UV app.

I didn't include one by default because most users will not need it, plus there's no defacto app that works 'best' or better. Look around, learn about which governors & frequencies you'd like, etc.

Music Issue

Help me please.

Whenever I play some songs( *random songs* ) halfway some other song starts playing and near the end another one and it continues even after end of song.

Also the widgets of these apps dont update most of the time.

I've done clean/superwipe twice and reflashed both times, formatted sdcard and added music again. Metadata on all mp3 are correct without any garbage.

As far as i can see it is not an issue with PowerAmp / Apollo / Play Music.

NOTE: Working well on all GB roms. Screenshots show the approximate positions of the skipping. Also notice the third screenshot of each app.

NOTE 2: This gets fixed temporarily if i delete the song. But I ended up with about 50 songs out of the initial 800+.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wileykat:
Aha,.... I see. It was just the screen off state i wanted to keep below a certain point. SetCPU it is then i reckon.

Thank you for the quick replies guys, appreciated!

BT

@Blk_Jack -

I noticed in one of your earlier posts that you are working on something to do with bluetooth.

I am suffering an occassional bug. Others have reported getting change of sim card message. I have had this and when it happens BT turns off and then tries to turn on but whatever I do it just keeps reporting that bluetooth is being switched on - but it never succeeds unless I reboot at least once. Not complaining - just wondering if this makes any sense to you or helps in any way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
The bluetooth thing is strange to me because I've never had it happen once while playing music (I have bluetooth speakers). We've narrowed it down to two patches that could have caused it though, so I'm going to need someone suffering from this issue to maybe help me test before the next release.

Any takers? ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] travis:
I'd be more than willing it's just that it is so rare it may be a while before any info. can be relied upon.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] _symo_:
hey guys it seems that Desire HD is beeing updating to ICS! is this meaning that we can get a working camera driver????? here the source->http://www.tre.se/Privat/Kundservice...uppdateringar/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Conan179:
wrong threat, the camera is working in this asop ics rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] farris:
I tried the RIL matcher, but had the same problems this morning. When I switch data on/off, I have internet for 10 seconds, after that, the signal bars stays blue but i can't acces anything. After that I turned data off for 5 minutes, and turned it on, and untill now (+6 hours) I still have internet. Strange ;)

I rembered a CM9 or MIUI v4 version with a setting to change the vibration strength. Maybe it can be ported to mimicry?

Oh and btw, I noticed this today:

- It looked like audio wasn't full duplex. When i talk, I can't hear the other side, when they talk, they can't hear me. But it can be coincidence.

- Headset problems. When I plug in my aux cable or headphones, Spotify doesn't play music. When I remove the cable, music sounds out of the speaker, so it DOES play music. When I plug back in the headphones, no sound.

The only workaround is to start Apollo, play music there, then pause it, then switch back to Spotify, and press play/pause for a couple of times repeatedly and after that I can hear Spotify.

However, a great ROM! It made me switch to ICS after always using GB!! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] l00k:
Hi,

Enjoying this rom still but I have a strange problem with my physical keyboard.

Sometimes when I go to type an SMS to someone the cursor is in the text box but when I type nothing happens. I have to press the search(onthe keyboard) then click back into the text box to be able to type.

This only happens once in a while so I'm thinking it might be a sticking key.

Anyone else had this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] _symo_:
yes it works but not at all, try to use instagram with its camera interface, you'll see that the image is corrupted and i think that happen because there's not and original driver for ics
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dimitri Vladkov:
In my Desire Z when I try to use Instagram it won't even show any image, I get a black screen, only after I take the picture it will show a corrupted image, is that how it happens on yours too? Also, google goggles and other apps that depend on the camera do that, except for the native camera app itself.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
SetCPU would consume more battery. To take advantage of the built in Virtuous Daemon, install OC/UV Beater2. You can Google it, you'll find an XDA thread for it.

That app would allow you to change the values and governor used by the built in Virtuous OC Daemon
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohhdavid:
Can anyone suggest something to make the default camera not crash when I take pictures? Right as it takes it, it crashes.

It works on a fresh install then after a few uses breaks.., my friends going to kill me for "breaking" his phone if I don't fix it!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:

Excellent ROM!

For the lockscreen, is it possible to have an option to move the unlock shortcut to a different position?

I hold the phone with my lefthand, and it would be easier if the unlock shortcut were to be on the left, or on the top. It's still possible to get used to it being on the right, but it'll be nice to reposition it. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stranded.eu:
Go to System Settings>Lockscreen>Shortcuts, but I don't think you can move it.

Anyway, this is my first custom ROM (rooted the phone today) and it works FLAWLESSLY to me. At least right now. Please implement 4.1 as soon as possible.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Happened to me too. Just started happening over the past 4 days. When I was going out for my run, it would get really annoying. To temporarily fix this, I kept the app open unplugged the headphones, started playback again, and when the skipping happened again, I just held the volume down to skip to the previous track and then a few tracks ahead, and it didn't happen after.

Both of you disable the advanced camera. Then Instagram will work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dimitri Vladkov:
How do I do that? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
It's in the Instagram settings somewhere.

Hi guys,

I recently installed the rom on my phone and it is lovely !!

but for some how it doesnt sync with my alpine bluetooth radio.

It is suppose to sync with my contacts and calls but for some reason it wont.

It asks me to allow it to check my phonebook and recent calls but they dont show up at the radio.

It did work at the official CM7 rom, does any one have the same problem?

I'm starting to think it is a CM9 problem or my alpine BT radio cant handle android 4.0?

Because I tested it with different roms.

Does any one have the same problem that his BT car radio wont sync?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jef_k:
I have the same problem, mine sync well the "enterprise" contacts but not the private.

Also, for use in the car, when Wifi was enable once and then shut off, the mobile data never comes up, the phone shows it up, everything is properly set but no mobile data. I have to reboot the phone or make a phone network provider search and select one to enable the mobile data.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Only BT car audio only worked for me. I don't ever remember contacts and calls syncing with my head unit, not even for CM7 roms. Not a biggie tho, I mainly just use it for audio, not as a phonebook.

just installed this rom. it blows my mind away for how slick and fast it is for an ICS rom. Thanks so much dev!!

Also quick question, is there a way how to tell what kind of service I am getting? Like 4G or weaker? I got the phone to test how it compares to my att plan then I will probably switch over to my tmobile prepaid service in a week or so. Looks like right now all it shows is bars and I cant find an option to change it (besides going to numericals)

Just tried to flash this ROM on my wife's G2, everything went fine with the aroma installer, but at reboot got stuck at a black screen. I'm hoping it's just a bad DL.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
bad download, so it seems. if not, flash another kernel to see if that helps :)

it booted when i ported this to another device and tested it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
Well the md5 matches so it can't be a bad DL. Maybe the kernel, I was going to do that but I figured the kernel that came with the ROM should be just fine.

Sent from the morgue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Try some of the methods posted in the OP. It's likely due to needing a full wipe/superwipe. Please follow the methods described post flash and in the OP for reporting anomalies. (logcat, new QA thread, etc)

It's not the kernel.

thank you for making the easiest to use installer and a wonderful rom.

I have been using htcclays cyanogen mod gingerbread for a long time now and its nice to finally be on ice cream sandwich and running smoothly.

When i was installing the rom i wasnt looking forward to reinstalling and reconfiguring all my apps and losing my settings but your installer left those in place, only upgrading the OS which was wonderful and saved me hours of work.

I also had the clock issue(with it saying the clock had stopped) but i used titanium backup to wipe the clocks data and now the clock is working.

The instagram camera doesnt work but camera360 does and thats what i usually use for taking photos anyway.

thanks again for all your work.

Freeze

I experencied a few freezes with this ROM. The phone cannot be waked with trackpad or power button. The only thing I can make is open the keyboard, lockscreen is shown in landscape, but that's all. Cannot do anything except taking out the battery.

Did anyone hit on similar problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jojojohnny05:
+1

I just reinstalled the ROM after a superwipe. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. Does anyone know what's causing the freezing?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sorgo:
Maybe we can compare our apps list :) However, it didn't happen on any other ROM (sense or senseless). I am using always the same apps.
