[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
I disabled HDR mode intentionally, because it was VERY slow on our camera hardware (it was nearly impossible to get an non-blurred picture with it), and because I often activated it randomly instead of swiping to launch Gallery (I've got Auto rotation off, so instead of "left" swipe I got "up" swipe, thus activating HDR).

I can bring it back, though, if you really need it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrvelvet:
Is there a way of removing the camera from the lock screen? The number of times it's activated itself in my pocket...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Go to Settings > Lockscreen and uncheck "Camera widget" option.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrvelvet:
Oh, I am so daft. Thanks! (it wasn't an option previously!)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] frippi:
For maps issue try changing "Disable HW overlays" option in dev settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sharptv:
Thanks for the reply, I am aware of that solution, but it's quite a PITA having to that after every boot. Anyway, the new maps is also slower compared to the old one, and the road names are also some what blurred.

Nevergone, I understand why you would disable the HDR, 'cause it is indeed very slow, but I feel that it would be good to have it as an option.

Your contribution is much appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] frippi:
Well, with this option unchecked maps work just fine, and I just tested that it stays unchecked after reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
I have switched back to maps 6.14.4, the overlay and other GPU options are not solving the glitches.

Not a drama as I preferred the old one.

About HDR also I don't see the point of getting the option, I think it's taking 3 pictures to compute a final one, but with our camera it's just impossible (or wait more than 10 sec to get a picture? good chance to have something sharp, unless you're using a stand and shoot only at inanimate objects)

Otherwize I'm still bluffed since I continue to use this latest rom as a daily driver, it's damn stable (EDIT: I got one reboot today while using the phone). It's never hanging-up like it used to, and wathever I do it's responding (sometimes you have to wait few secs for apps to load, but no harm), and battery life is very good. For me it's the ultimate rom !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] robuser007:
I used the app to look at the wakelocks, google services is using a lot (like 2000x). Maybe I should wipe and disable google search somehow ?

I use radio Radio_26.10.51.26: other people have good reception while I have no reception in some places (sport places with a lot of metal).

Which bands does this radio use for 3G ? 2100 and 900 Mhz ?

Should I flash RCDATA ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slayer3032:
The maps thing is related to expanded desktop, enable the option to select expanded desktop in developer options on the power menu and whenever it starts artifacting out enable expanded desktop. Something in the app seems to be requesting expanded desktop while something else is disallowing it from what it seems like to me.

If we could get that fixed, I can't think of anything else whatsoever which is even remotely a bug or issue with the rom other than the browser going to the XDA search page whenever you press certain numbers on the keyboard while writing a post on XDA. That's probably something to do with XDA itself though and has nothing to do with the rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mgmaz:
Disabling googlequicksearchbox helped my battery life quite a bit (with a bunch of things locked down, less than typical 1%/hr with very light usage ), though I miss it sometimes.

With search disabled, you can type searches into the browser address bar, not nearly as nice as search / voice search.

A week on this rom now and its still chugging along, no major issues.

I'm now using the radio 26.04.02.17_M2 here in France with Free mobile as a carrier and with this rom it's the perfect match. My conversations are clear and clean again with no cuts, and I have retrieved a descent 3G, also in roaming. As battery life is good also I 'm happy.

About Wakeloks Detector, I had a lot of _nlpwakelock from Google services, it's kind of crazy how it's designed to track you.

I made these changes :

1. Turn off location reporting and location history under Google now settings and disable wifi based location reporting under wifi settings as well.

After this, applications must use gps to localize you, it's no big deal for most apps (where positionning is not the purpose of the app, i.e Soundhound), that just make the gps blink a while. For Maps or Waze, it's working the old way now, so like with old gps you have a slight delay before being postionned and can lost track in tunnels, but even with these drawbacks I think it worth the battery saved for nothing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] robuser007:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mgmaz:
Hmm, don't remember adw very well (using apex).

Wonder if it might disappear after you disable it (pm disable).

As I recall, it was waking up and doing things even with no widget displayed (my definition of evil).

Actually I was referring to ILWT . I think is a bit faster than CM 7.2 . Don't know if anyone can confirm this also .

The only thing missing from this rom is Greenify. Honestly if I had greenify it would be great, but is only available for android 4+.

Just by using Facebook , Viber (which remain in the background) you get about 100mb of free ram tops ! It's a shame because without facebook the phone is extremely smooth
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mgmaz:
+10 Full agreement with this one - location reporting was in my experience probably the biggest source of system wakelocks and therefore battery life killer.

Forgot to mention it before (assumed ppl already are routinely shutting location reporting off).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] marcd2k12:
Sorry if this has been asked before, but is the Privacy Guard feature available in this rom? I couldn't see it anywhere in options.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrvelvet:
I know it's not quite the same, and it's doesn't directly answer your question, but the OpenPdroid patches (applied with auto-patcher) work wonderfully.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] robuser007:
yeah it does.

I'm using [2013-09-30][Guhl] Andromadus Permission Spoofing Framework CM10.1 at the moment, couldn't find a real difference.

My battery keeps loosing it's juice quite fast, think I need a replacement (but I'm thinking of buying another faster querty phone, the relay 4g or the captivate).

Hi all!

I'm using slimbean for desireZ, but i wish to change to cm10.1.

I've got this:

is this the last build? builds stop at b22 here http://andromadus.flinny.org/?q=node/36

the title of this thread it refers to a 25b4 version, and nevergone in his post forgot to say which version is his :(

is this version of gapps right for the build?

gapps-jb-20130812-signed

i can't find nothing up to date in OP.

Anyway, should i get something else? reading some previous posts i saw many things like BTtweeks, new framework files and so on, are all of this stuffs necessary?

Sorry but i can't really figure out what i need and where to get it :P

ty in advance :)

I'm happy with this rom many thanks but I'm missing something.

Is it possible to had sim access to use import/export contact from sim card
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
OK for the Gapps.

You''ll find betas in this directory : http://andromadus.nahorany.net/untestedbuilds/

The 25b4 is now tested for long. Flinny didn't touch it for 2 months.

The other build compiled by Nevergone (on the google drive) from source is OK too and more fresh !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skui:
thank u guy :)

so, i'll go for 25b4 from flinny.

i'm using this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shao.Copy2SIM&hl=it

but a rom feature will be appreciated as well :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
Good choice but for me the best rom is the last from nevergone, it's out from the 'official' builds from flinny but worth the install.

It's no harm for you, you can still start with b24, test it, and when you're tired then just flash the nevergone rom over with the gapps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skui:
ty, i'll keep that in mind, and on my computer ;)

The rom of NeverGone\RU works very fast and stable, even after a few weeks!

The only thing noticed is the cm torch app. Like posted earlier the high brightness works only a second, but the torch also switches off after going in standby. In the Flinny builds this works like it should be.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
Yes and the torch workaround to have max flash is to open the torch app and switch strobe also with max.

Also after few weeks I'm still happy with nevergone version but in heavy use I found settings a little bit aggresives when multitasking (specially with Play Music app, or may be it's Play music that is really buggy, I hate this app, but I like the music service...). Anyway, I had 2 or 3 reboots, but in weeks it's not so much.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skui:
i've got this with every unofficial rom, and i found that a cache and dalvik-cache wipe, from recovery, it solves the problem well.. try it out if u never did that! No harms for apps or whatever, for what i know..

p.s.

reboots was the problem made me wish to change rom when i started to ask here in this post some days ago, but i also did wipes in the meanwhile, and like many other times, my phone seems new again. I don't believe in it so much when i do wipes, but i have to disagree with myself everytime..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
A fix permission can be needed too.

I'd some problem with unreadable videos which went away lik that...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shak3800:
Anyone know why drawer scrolling is a bit a laggy? I've tried also nova launcher and apex and they have the same issue even after changing the scrolling speed . Currently i'm using jelly baby which seems to have more free ram for some reason than flinnys/nevergone. Maybe because CM has a lot more features going on whereas jelly baby is closer to the stock experience?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Not until we fix hwcomposer stuff.

To be honest, we need developers, not just testers. It's hard to make the new Android version run (with all the usual graphics/frameworks changes that are incompatible with old, outdated and deprecated MSM7x30) by only one developer (and that's not myself - it's Flinny who did all the porting).

Help from some DHD devs (randomblame?) would be good, probably.

But hey, this IS a notable milestone -- we are now two major versions ahead of the last official update.

do you know the way to do it? i've already hated this combo "fn+shift+anythingelse"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] frippi:
not really. Given that I've seen double taps handlind only on stock ROMs I can speculate that there is no support for such thing in stock android. So devs are faced to either reimplement it and waste quate a bit of time on that or resolve to using key combinations, which is much easier.

As a workaround you may try using Russian Keyboard, if I recall correctly it does handle double taps. But if you want to continue using stock on screen keyboard then you'll also need Keyboard Manager. Personally I decided that "fn+shift+..." is better than two additional applications.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HuKuToC34:
agree. don't understand is it possible to find necessary bindings in rukeyboard.apk and implement them into system keyboard app?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] frippi:
Not likely. I'm not not an expert here, but I think key combinations is all one can get with bindings. Processing two separate key presses into replacement of previous character with another one is totally different thing. That's why Russian Keyboard app is not just a key binding file, it's a separate application that adds new input method.

Good uptime !

Just passed 28 days of uptime with Nevergone's ROM and still chugging along !

My claim is that turning off the electron beam animation (Display->"screen-off animation") has improved stability dramatically.

I tried this remedy after experiencing multiple crashes associated with turning the screen off, especially if the notification menu was open (oops) , and finding "electron beam" in most of the crash logs.

My only real complaint is some hesitance to turn on WiFi sometimes, but I've been getting that on and off with all of this whole series of ROMs.

Good stuff , Thanks !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jsight:
I've been in the habit of turning this off on every ROM ever since my old Nexus One had that problem. For whatever reason, that feature is finnicky with some phones. I haven't really tried it with the G2, but why take the risk? :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mcsmart:
Governor: ondemand

But please note: battery life highly depends on the apps you are using. Use BetterBatteryStats (available on xda) to detect apps holding wakelocks. And get rid of them, if possible.

I personally identified the following apps from being real battery hoggers on the Desire Z: Google Maps (uninstalled, using Locus Pro instead), Facebook (uninstalled, using Plume instead), Whatsapp (never used it, using Hangouts instead).

Multiusers

Hi,

i'm running the last nevergone/RU ROM. i would try the multiuser option so i've changed the max number of user with

# setprop fw.max_users 2

then i've added a test user with

# pm create-user test

and checked up the switch user option in power menu.

Everything goes good. In the Settings panel also appeared "Users" submenu and i can switch from a user to another like a charm.

Now, after a reboot the "Users" submenu disapper from Settings, somebody knows why?

Another question, is there a menu voice to turn on user selection on boot?

Thank you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Did you try to add "fw.max_users=2" to build.prop?

You'll probably have to decompile framework-res.apk and edit values/integers.xml, particularly this line of code:

<integer name="config_multiuserMaximumUsers">1</integer>
