Hi guys, I'm very interested in this ROM, at the moment I'm using CM9 RC2, I saw Mimicry is based on CM 9.1 and wanted to know:

- Which kernel Mimicry uses? 2.6 or 3.x?

- If it's really based on CM 9.1 3.x Kernel which version? V3, V4?

- Does it work all fine or are there some relevant bugs? Better wait next version?

- Are you working even on Jelly Bean/CM10?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RsOnAndroid:
FM players (specially the over-the-air type), are generally not free, hence not included here.

You can try the free version of EspiritFM here (use the aug 11 version) : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059296

I tried it, it worked, and I am buying the full version now.

Hope this helps,

Flashed 1.5.0 from 1.4.0 yesterday and got the following problem:

The notification area disappears and reappears every few seconds, and I get the message "Leider wurde System-UI beendet" (Sorry, system ui was terminated.)

I didn't get logcats yet because I need a working phone, so I just went back to my 1.4.0 backup which works fine. Anyone else seeing this?

Going to go through the drill (logcat, full wipe etc.) when I find the time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zappoo:
Hi Guys. I used to have a HTC Desire Z and had this ROM and I loved it. I now have a galaxy S3 and have a question for the android-experts/devs.

I use exchange email, using PUSH. When I receive an email, it appears on my computer (outlook) AND my phone.. it appears in the notifications of my phone.

On my Desire Z, if I read the email on the computer, the phone notification 'vanishes'.. which is correct. then I get another email, and the phone again says 1 unread msg. All good.

With the S3, the notification DOESNT GO AWAY. Even though the inbox correctly shows that the item is marked as read. So by the end of the day, my notification can show "100 unread messages".. Only way to 'fix' it is to manually click "Clear" on the notification OR to tap the notification to go into email that way.

Any ideas HOW this was working on Mimicry?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dwardo:
Installed through OTA too and everything worked as it was supposed to !

Just had to try 4 times before getting the Update (I'm guessing the server was under heavy fire)

Guys ... first problem with this ROM (and hopefully last because I find it fast ...) with the APP Paper Camera, when the launch selection I get stuck on the filter cell and the only solution is to remove the battery ... the only time it went well .. did aa picture lines ... that you could see only the rows not the image below ... have solutions to the problem??

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d_gkal:
do i have to hard reset after the OTA update (from 1.4 to 1.5)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
You can just choose to wipe cache with no problems. The updater lets you choose what to wipe and reboots for you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RsOnAndroid:
TuneIn, to the best of my knowledge, is not over-the-air M radio. It requires a data/wifi connection to stream music from ther internet. What the user was looking for, was an FM radio that actually catches the FM waves over the air and plays it - local channels, without internet connection.:cowboy:

It says in the FAQ that any sort of camera apps you're going to have issues with. Best bet is it uninstall it and wait for better camera drivers to get released.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JackZR:
Better is quite subjective.

In the OP there's no specification about the kernel, I imagined it was 3.x because the ROM is based on CM9.1 but reading some posts I discovered is 2.6; I still don't know about the version of CM9.1 and about the bugs I know only of the camera.

Anybody knows if Andromadus Team is working on Jelly Bean?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
Yes we are... there is a JB testbuilds thread... 94 builds down the road already ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Why would it be 3.X? This ROM is based off the CM9.1 source code and has nothing to do with jerl92's unofficial CM9 kang. He decided to use the Virtuous/Andromadus 3.X kernel while this ROM remains on the original fyodor 2.6 Andromadus kernel. In the OP there is mention that I still use the 2.6 kernel.

Regardless, the 2.6 kernel has a boatload of 3.0 patches included in it and as I've already stated, Mimicry will almost certainly remain on 2.6 until the 2.X version of Mimicry is released, which will be based on Jelly Bean (and the 3.X kernel). There are JB test builds that Flinny has put out and I'm currently in the process of porting over Andromadus Audacity features to JB for our first Audacity JB beta release. Once an Audacity JB beta is out there will be closed testing Mimicry alphas until I'm satisfied with the stability and quality of the ROM.

Compass might still have issues (Photaf)

Just added an entry to your bug tracker, but photoaf program (downloadable from the play store) still appears to have issues with the compass. It appears make you rotate the camera to much when it takes a picture. The result is that to few pictures are taken, so that when the program stitches the photos together it looks just werid.

Maybe the program doesn't work on ICS, but I thought I would put it here first to see if anyone has an idea. Or if this program just won't work because of camera issues that is okay as well.

Attached is a logcat of the session.

update: forgot to mention that this was on v1.5.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
Have you bothered to read the OP, FAQ or any of the posts here that have anything to do with the camera?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] psyphris:
Or even a few posts up. Any app that uses the camera (other than the one provided with the ROM) is bound to be unstable.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashwinmudigonda:
This confused even me. The wording should have been any app that uses the camera (other than the one provided with the ROM) is bound to be unstable.

I assumed any camera app to mean apps like CameraZoom FX or other such replacement for the stock camera apps and was confused when Google Translate crashed on me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] psyphris:
I edited my post so that it would be less confusing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Matrix_71:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philippecr:
there're a couple of issues still bugging me...

For some reason, the phone doesn't search for HSDPA signal, but keep stays on EDGE. I need to reboot my phone to get back the HSDPA connection.

Lag and freeze randomly on apps... and sometime on homescreen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ablivian:
I don't know if somebody allready posted this bug with the default messaging app.

My brother and I both use this rom. Sometimes when we are writing a message with the hardware keyboard. The phone locks, and we have to unlock it again. I don't think it's a hardware problem because I tried a jellybean rom for a few days and I didn't had this problem. If a logcat it needed, I can make one.

Another bug since the last version is that when i've send a message to somebody and the person replys, and i look, sometimes there's written a bit of text from the last message I've sended before the person replies. This problem is since version 1.5.0.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] goister:
Not sure if this is a CM9 related problem, but when I dial a number and put my phone to my face to speak, the screen doesn't dim automatically, I end up pressing random numbers if my dialer pad is up. This is especially annoying if I'm calling customer service.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Roolio:
Thanks for the update! This time I did a full wipe. Partly because I felt my phone could use it, but also because the OTA updater wasn't working. It said 'no peer certificate', but after the full wipe and 1.5.0 flash it still said the same thing. Oh well, not a huge problem.

And oddly enough I had a text corruption, something I didn't have ever in 1.4.0. Oh and my custom boot anymation wouldn't flash in recovery. It just said failed. Not sure if that's ROM related though.

Keep up the good work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] roubi:
I run 1.5.0 since yesterday morning.

Great Rom, no problems or bugs.

I made a full wipe (coming from 1.4.0) just to be on the safe side.

Can't confirm any of the probs mentioned above...

Thank's for your great work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] costipl:
I'm on 1.4.0 and when I try to use OTA updater it says "no peer certificate" and doesn'y download any updates. How can I fix this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
I guess you didn't read my post. I am not complaining about the camera, but about the compass. No where do I mention about that the camera is broken. In fact if you would try the program and take pictures manually, it works very well ans the pictures come out. My thing on posting has to do with the compass (or however the phone figures out movement).

So in the future why not try to be helpful instead on jumping on people.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I cannot reproduce any of these issues. Guys, do not post your issues without following the steps laid out in the OP. They're not helpful to me at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Hey I asked Vetruvet about it (OTA Updater dev) and he said the following:

So that looks like it has been fixed.

As for the custom boot animation, well, if your flashable zip is trying to write it to your /data/ directory and you've wiped that directory, it might fail there. Or it could have an issue w/ the way it tries to mount /data (on the Vision) and if you don't already have the directory mounted, it could fail. There are a bunch of reasons why it might not work, so unfortunately I can't give you any kind of definitive answer on that one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alarmdude9:

Battery Issue

I have searched this thread and gotten some ideas, but thought I would post my problem to see if anyone else is experiencing this issue. About 9 days ago (roughly Wed., Aug. 29) my battery life went from pretty good to terrible. It is the original battery and I do not remember anything really changing on my phone. I had been comfortably getting through the day on a single charge, probably 8 hours of screen-off in my pocket and 4 to 5 hours of direct use. On or around Aug. 29, I started to lose charge at the rate of about a percent a minute.

I am not new to Android or the Desire Z. This is the first time I have experienced this kind of thing. It was just so sudden.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
It's an app, get betterbatterystats and look to see what's abusing wakelock and using your battery. Your issue is independent of the rom, though, so if you can't figure it out with those tools I would open a QA thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] XVI Ames:
A few days later, after a week of very careful use of my phone (I still have not reinstalled all my suspicious apps), I'm having the same problem... today, I have reinstalled the virtuous oc daemon, every thing seemed fine, until tonight :

I was using the GPS app waze (this app is really suspicious), and my phone freezed... I had to remove the battery to restart the phone, but it did freeze again, on unlock screen...

So I restarted to recovery, flashed mimicry 1.5, selected the option to change mods, deselected the oc daemon, reboot, freeze again...

Flash mimicry to reinstall the rom (still without the oc daemon), freeze again...

How can I get a logcat if I cannot even unlock my phone?

It must not be an issue with the rom, but it's options in aroma could be helpful without to have to wipe all my data again?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
You can actually use adb to launch logcat during boot. Something is definitely wrong and I would say it's probably an app at work. Try using logcat with adb so I can help you debug.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] twelvebit:
The exact same thing happened to me, and I voiced the same concerns as you about 50 pages ago in this thread.

I installed a new battery last week and all crashes and battery issues disappeared. It's very stable now. My battery went from fine to toast practically overnight, same symptoms as you've described. Try running some CPU intensive tasks and see if the phone crashes, that's a good way to verify.

This part of FAQ/Known Issues:

Q) Camera app <some app> doesn't work!

A) Due to the hacks implemented to get the camera working with ICS and the 2.6 kernel you will find that many camera apps do not work or will not work properly. It's recommended that you stick to the stock camera app until we migrate to the 3.0 kernel. If using Instagram, make sure you disable their built in camera.

Interesting to note I noticed today with the help of cpuspy, that the virtuous daemon does not allow (from what I've seen) the cpu to go into deep sleep. When I removed it cpuspy showed that phone was now entering deep sleep. So to anyone with battery life issues look to see if you have that mod installed.

Clock seems to be stuck

Awesome rom so far! there is just one thing that keeps me from using it as DD:

i got the exact same problem on 1.4 and 1.5. the clock on lockscreen and statusbar "freeze" at some point. but the analog widget clock works.

another suggestion/question:

in cm7 i used oc/uv beater for undervolting. i installed it on mimicry 1.5 but i cant change the voltages, only frequencies. i guess its because the kernel doesnt support it. is there a mimicry-compatible kernel wich supports undervolting?

Greetings
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Don't undervolt. See my signature for information.

As for the stuck clock, I dunno what to tell ya, I've never had that issue but maybe it's an issue with cyanogenmod. Check their bugtracker. There's nothing specific or changed in the rom that could cause it.

Hi, I have installed this ROM a few days ago. Its really stable and smooth. But I'm really dissapointed from the battery time. Yesterday my phone shut down after 10 hours of normal using. Whats your normal "lifetime"? Am I doing anything wrong?

Read what it says in the OP about battery. Try installing better battery stats to check which of your apps is causing the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zofox:
Right now i think that this is one of the most fast and stable rom of ever, and also has a good battery life :)

I'm using an ondemand governator max voltage setted to 800mhz, and it still fast! Also added supercharger (lastest version) with option 6 and all the tweaks of driver option enabled :) also i have enabled zram compression (18%)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HiM@L:
My G2 seems to get pretty hot. Any idea??? I just fresh installed yesterday my first custom rom on G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
I've forcibly disabled zram (so your settings won't actually enable it) since it was causing a ton of issues. That said, the V6 Supercharger option in Aroma does exactly what you did yourself manually, so for anybody else reading this, actually using the script has identical results to choosing it when you flash the ROM. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
You've provided no useful information. From the OP:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Nothing is changed in this rom (from CM9) that would impact battery life differently. Please read the OP section about battery drain. That said, I regularly get 4 hours screen on time over a 16-20h period with the original battery my DZ shipped with. With a newer battery I bought last year I get 5h screen on time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Sketch85:
Ok, thanks. I will try to get a better overview with BetterBatteryStats tomorrow.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Blimblim:
Hi everyone.

I went last week from Andromadus B5 (which had the same issue as described below) to Gen.Y (worked well, except for a showstopper bluetooth issue) then to Mimicry yesterday. So far it's a very good ROM, and it's more or less exactly what I want from my phone so it's all good. Many thanks to blk_jack and everyone else involved in doing this ROM and its great installer.

I have one small issue though, that I had in both Andromadus B5 and Mimicry 1.5 (but not in Gen.Y), and it's with the satellite navigation program IGO Primo. I've been using the old IGO 8.3 for a very long time now, and never had an issue. But for some reason IGO Primo (which is 8.4 as far as I can tell) tells me that the GPS receiver has been turned off (and loses the GPS signal along with it of course) every minute or so, and then it comes back again. I've tried the stock ROM, and also the .19 ril update, with the same result. I know it's not a hardware issue since Gen.Y works perfectly well, so while I understand it's more than likely not the best place to ask about this, I'll just do it anyway since maybe someone else has had a similar issue and has a solution :)

Version 8.3 and Google Maps both have no problems, so the GPS does work as it should, and since as far as I know the Android way to access it is through a standard API and not through some nasty virtual COM port with baud settings like it was on Windows Mobile, I don't really understand what could be going on here.

And again, thanks so much for the great ROM, everything else is about as close to perfect as it can be considering the hardware limitations of our aging DZ...

No real issues on my side. Camera fc sometimes but that's expected as of now realistically. Worked really well last night at a concert to take multiple pics n vids. Instagram camera even works for me. (I fully wiped, and don't use titanium backup to restore, ever) I send a lot of sms with my keyboard. Haven't had it ever lock up on me like others explained? Id try a full wipe.. and I've noticed this have better battery life than most roms I've tried. Like it says every other page battery drain is caused by faulty apps guys. Let's all read a little. :) Cm9.1 3.x kernel gave me reeeally bad battery life with music playing. Which is most of my day so I flashed 1.5 and its been great since. Thanks for all the hard work.
