[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
Hmm did you change much from my build?

Also can somebody try a kernel from a build where the call time is reported correctly? Just wondering if it's an upstream kernel patch issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sharptv:
Mind sharing any of the special/performance features your kernel has?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Last build includes Dalvik low-memory startup and heap utilization patches and limits background applications' number to 4.

No changes to the kernel except incremental patches from kernel.org. :)

camera

Hello flinny..

In test 3 build 25

Camera voice recognition is not wirking!

When i switch on the feature of clicking the picture by saying trigger!

Before it says unfortunately google search has stopped!! please help
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Please check this on another language (set English, for example).

This could also be a CyanogenMod bug.

In flinny's 25b3 I suddenly lost signial GPS while driving (open air, no trees etc).

Is it usefull to install the nossl AGPS patch (universal) ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ImDevilheart:
Great ROM, only real problem is when using SMS popup. I do a quick reply but if not done typing and receive another text, it erases everything I typed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Killer1desireZ:
Great work on this rom, but it seems that my vision never goes to deep sleep using this version
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
Is this build for the Vison (DesireZ) or the G2 ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Should work on both.

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

This is a CyanogenMod bug. You can report it on CM Bugtracker (although I don't think they will fix it soon, as CM10.2 is more important for the CyanogenMod team)

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

Same goes with call timers. On long phone calls (longer than 10 mins), timer gets updated every second.

Could you please also post kernel versions for these devices so we can compare them?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rayjack10:
Nice one there really fast but something is missing (developer option under settings) can't toggle usb debugging.how do I toggle it?

Sure: Nexus S (crespo) runs 3.0.50-Cyanogenmod-gb97752e build01@cyanogenmod #1 Thu Jul 11 16:56:03 PDT 2013

Just in case (since it's unofficial), this is for the Motorola Defy: 2.6.32.9-AeroKernel quarx@archlinux #5 Tue Jul 9 18:56:55 OMST 2013 [source is here: https://github.com/Quarx2k/jordan-kernel], if it's useful.

Google is your friend for this very, very, very, VERY old question.

EDIT: [MENTION=1270461]NeverGone\RU[/MENTION]: I'm not sure if it has already been reported, but the weird "minutes in place of seconds" issue happens even with third party apps. MX Player was showing a song in background being "0:03/0:04" where on the Defy claims "3:34/4:12". Could it be not a kernel issue but a wrong resource id in some values.xml/dimens.xml?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CoolHwip92:
I'm not a dev but from using it for a bit it does seem significantly faster, changes should be merged with flinny's build imho.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rayjack10:
Yeah I think so too mate really missing some features from flinny's build.I believe it would be awesome if merged.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] robuser007:
which are different ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Which ones?

---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

That's pretty old... but thanks anyway. I'll try to do some more research.

Exactly opposite, that proves that XMLs are NOT the problem :)

Since the issue is present on all languages and in a lot of applications, the problem seems to be more low-level than we think...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hrk:
I built a test app you can find here: https://github.com/hrk/TestTimeDisplay

From it, it appears the issue is clearly with android.text.format.DateUtils#formatElapsedRealTime(), since the same values, formatted with a SimpleDateFormat#format() have the right behaviour.

While looking through the Andromadus source code looking for the source code, I got this...

Revert behavior of DateUtils.formatElapsedTime …

Change Ib3c1e1aad05827df646aa18645cce19dffb7551f fixes the inability
to display more that 2-digit hour values, but also changes the behavior
of <10 minutes display by zero-padding the minutes. This makes
the Chronometer widget look different, and breaks Holo CTS.

Fix it so that for values under 600 seconds, the minutes don't
get padded

Change-Id: I34eb7f22e728c55bf3313ed1987ac32969cd5ed0

Maaaaaaan, the description looks suspicious even without reading the actual commit or code!

EDIT: and yes that's it in its suckety culpritry. https://github.com/Andromadus/andro...mmit/3cef0aecb5b1c4a9886c8ceea4ede59074690338

EDIT2: the issue is either that the format function is given the hour, or that the format string is missing the seconds, as there are three parameters, but only two place holders.

Seems I missed a patch :P

Thanks for investigating..... :>
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
I've uploaded a build 25 test 4 with that seconds patch+whatever else CM patched in the meantime and rolled the kernel forward to 3.0.93.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bonusbartus:
does it include the "Steroids" NeverGone\RU used in his build?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shine_118:
Good .i will be download and test. thx man.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hrk:
You're welcome, investigating it was something in my league. Has anybody reported yet that during phone calls w/ earpieces on, the "standard" microphone isn't muted and people on the other hand get a voice return? [I hope I explained myself]
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rayjack10:
Downloading now
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Nope :P

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

... that's why whe should probably use upstream frameworks_base repo... but we can't :D

Thanks for investigating!

I'll make another "steroid-enabled" build if anyone wants me to :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rayjack10:
Yeah please I want it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hrk:
Do I qualify for an answer to "What is required to have https://github.com/grigorig/android_packages_apps_Effem working on this ROM?" :) :puppyeyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
You advocate using upstream then your steroid versions use less upstream ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
I did investigate the FM stuff in Cyanogenmod a while ago....seems it relies on accessing a device that our kernel doesn't expose... Also I expect some work would need to be done with the USE cases between the qdspv5 driver in the kernel and qcom_audio-caf ... Which is where the most of our audio problems lurk.... :)

Now if you wan to investigate those that would be cool with me :D

Nick.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
There you go.

No changes from Flinny's build except cherry-picked faster strstr & dalvik stuff (same as in previous builds).

Kernel is now identical to main Andromadus tree.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bonusbartus:
thats fast;)

I'm curious to see how it will work;)

What about GAPPS ??? any upgraded Gapps?? Can I have the link to Gapps?

[MENTION=1270461]NeverGone\RU[/MENTION], since you're the most experimental one... wanna give a shot to http://kerneldedup.org/projects/uksm/download/?

BTW, is it a misunderstanding on my part, or is it a bug that KSM setting gets reset at each reboot?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slayer3032:
Of course just merely hours after I flash over the b3 build I was running with the Alterndromadus kernel with NeverGone's build b4 comes out. I have to say though I have no idea what was done in the NeverGone's b3 but it's so much smoother and quicker the previous builds. It's almost like my phone is running Froyo/Gingerbread! After disabling any junk and anything I didn't use like location services I actually saw 167mb free in Settings>Apps>Running on boot which is crazy from what I've seen so far.

Something I've seen floating around though is this T-Mobile Wifi Calling sourcecode, anyone know if it could be compiled into an app or something so we can use it on these updated Jelly Bean roms? I have a buddy who doesn't get reception inside his house so he's forced to use the Wifi calling and is still on the stock rom for that reason. Seems like a pretty neat thing to have available since it was like one of the big features of the G2 when it came out.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] robuser007:
Thanks, but I find opening apps like Gmail(3-4s), SMS are as fast as 25b4 (b4 seems faster then 25b3).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] -DarkKnight-:
There's a huge bounty that hasn't been paid yet for WiFi calling on the Nexus 4....

If they can't do it, I doubt anyone else can :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
nevergone, if you could tweak slim bean as well, that would be awesome- because Flinny's CM10.1 is awesome too, but I find it's lacking a couple of features that i like:

... screen density changer so everything's a little smaller..

... a kill app with back button feature

those are my main gripes and reasons i use slim bean... it is almost as fast as your b3/b4- but i feel it's got more of what i miss.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] D2Dchris:
Gapps

How about this one: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revanmj:
In developer settings there is an option to enable killing an app with a long press of a back button.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
You can enable "Kill app back button" in Developer options (scroll to the very bottom of the list)

Screen density could be changed manually via a build.prop edit, but I don't know if this still breaks Play Store (it did on early versions).

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

As far as I remember, it didn't give that much of a performance (it was used in AlterNdromadus kernel a while ago and was removed from last build).

(u)KSM is a tradeoff between memory usage and CPU load, and often it only makes matters worse.

Hm... that's a bug :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hrk:
Staying in the "bug" field... even if I manually enable ksm (echo "1" > ..../run) I don't see any shared pages. On Androidarmv6's CM10.1 for Samsung Galaxy Mini it works (at least I see some numbers which change over time...). Am I missing something or doing something wrong? What do you see if you type

grep -H . /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages*
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LeithJones:
As far as I know it still does, at least it did when 4.2 first hit.

I use a DPI of 180.

To achieve this I full wipe and install the base rom.

Wipe and flash base rom. I'm using NeverGone\RU's roms lately.

Flash Gapps.

Flash the latest multi-DPI playstore/Google services framework from here. Thanks to user MyLifeRocks10

reboot.

Skip gapps setup.

Change DPI in CM file manager - /system/build.prop change the line from "ro.sf.lcd_density=240" to whatever DPI you want. I use "ro.sf.lcd_density=180". CM file manager needs to be configured for root for this step.

reboot.

Configure play store.

Enjoy.

drain

My phone drains faster on the steroid build, anyone noticed ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sharptv:
I notice this too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
We might. I already posted that we're having problems with porting. Wanna help?

Could you please install an app like Wakelock Detector and see if it can detect something?

Power consumption is one of the most hard things to check/debug, because it depends on a huge number of external factors like signal strength, device usage (you can't have "Screen On" for, let's say, exactly 2 hours every day -- sometimes you use it more, sometimes less), app activity (Play Store might start downloading updates, thus draining the battery).

Of course sometimes it's clear that you get a lot less standby time on similar activities.

Some time ago, buggy camera drivers caused huge battery drain when using wired headphones.

How did I "catch" that the issue? It took me about an hour to get from my home to a university, and with the "buggy build", battery charge was literally disappearing if I plug in my headphones.

This could be called "repeatable conditions", because I didn't do anything with the phone except listening to music.

Again, with "regular usage" power consumption is tend to change depending on a number of factors.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CoolHwip92:
I just wanted to say I really appreciate the work flinny and the rest of you guys are doing. I'm planning to get the next nexus phone that comes out at the end of this year according to teh internets, but in the meantime this has made my phone so much more useable. Thanks.

Maps App Flickering

After looking through the forums for a flicker fix I stumbled on a suggestion that worked (besides reverting to old maps app).

Settings > Developer Options > Disable HW Overlays

Also, enabling and disabling Expanded Desktop seemed to fix it but you have to do that every time you restart the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slayer3032:
I'm pretty sure that the maps app is desperately trying to achieve fullscreen but doesn't quite seem to be doing it. I've seen the notification bar flash in and out a few times along with the maps app "tearing".

Using Camera Flash in low light results in black picture

Just tried to use the camera in low light with the flash, and I always seem to get an almost all black picture. This is is with the 25b4 ROM.

Anyone else see this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sharptv:
I can't even seem to get the flash to work in camera. Works fine when in torch mode though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CoolHwip92:
Flash and pictures are fine in the "steroid" version of 45b4. Should be the same for the regular version.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] frippi:
I often get similair effect - either whole picture is black or just part of it. Looks almost as if flash and camera a bit out of sync. Like if flash flashes a bit early or camera takes picture a bit late.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
Loaded the "steroid" version and it does seem to work better with respect to how/when the flash goes off. In my testing 25b4 would get a good flash less than 10% of the time, while the "steroid" version has worked everytime......go figure.

Hi, just wanted to know why 8 Mo less thna flinny's?

Seems working well on my phone. I'll see if battery drain is high!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
As far as I remember, Flinny makes builds with "-eng" build type, thus adding some developer-only packages, and mine are "-userdebug". Most probably that's the cause :)

I have 24T2 and i'm getting the same thing. Camera and flash are out of sync.

Okay, attached is a logcat of the issue. The ROM was working perfectly then all of a sudden sms stopped working. I have rebooted the ROM and still errors. On flinny's rom I have not had this issue (but I have the flash/camera issue).

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
It's on there, I will try to uninstall and see what happens

thanks for the suggestion.

**update** it worked thanks, another question is what is/how to use google voice+, and do we need it and if not why is it included?

thanks again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
This allows you to send text messages through Google Voice account.

Unfortunately I can't use this service (it is only available in US, as far as I know), but if you did use it and it worked (and now doesn't) -- there are probably some technical difficulties on server side.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
No i haven't used it. Once i got into i remember setting it to use (ie not disable) because i was thinking it was somehow an enchanced google voice and did something extra. So i have disabled it and now know better.

Noise cancellation feature gone?

Ever since using 25b3 and 25b4, I've noticed the noise cancellation feature has been removed from the phone settings menu. Did it move (I can't find it)? When on speakerphone, the caller can hear their own words back.

Other than that 25b4, I've yet to find any other issues. I'm using it as a daily.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Noise cancellation is not supported by Vision's hardware (it doesn't have second microphone for this to work), so the option was removed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DerNetzreporter:
Maybe its not supported but there must be something to prevent it. Before it only happened sometimes that with speaker the caller heared themself but now its all the time and every call.

Hi everyone

I'm the n00b of the last hour.

But I'm out for work and will upgrade my phone for hobby... No much time to make all processes. So thanks to everyone will help me.

Upgrading to this ROM, I will inject manually the kernel or... ?

Any help is appreciate.

Do a full back up

Wipe cache, dalvik cache and even data if it's not just and upgrade.

Echo problems using phone's built-in speakerphone

Using bluetooth or the headset doesn't result in any issues. When using the speakerphone, the phone is rendered useless unless the call is muted.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] frippi:
Well, I always have 3G enabled, mobile data enabled, WiFi on. Most of my time I spend indoors with wifi available and I get a few calls during the day. Under these conditions by the end of a day (about 9 hours after full charge) I still have more than 80 percent available. And I have it overclocked to 1500. Yeah, if i play some game it'll discharge a lot quicker, but with screen off (we are talking about night time, right?) I think it can go on for days. But I do have mugen 1800 batery inside.

So, maybe there is some app that utilizes wifi intensively? Have you checked wake locks? Deep sleep?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nevyntanis:
I agree with frippi, I can sometimes get almost 2 days on battery with wifi/3G on, just depends on how much data I push and pull through the wifi connection (obviously).

I'm kind of puzzled if it works for you then. When I installed 25b4, I did a full-wipe of data and cache areas before installing.
