Q&A for [ROM][09/03/14] AlterNdromadus CM10.1 | Android 4.2.2 [STABLE]
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
Just flashed my D-Z to this ROM and it seems to be pretty fast.:fingers-crossed:
Thanks for all!
Wi-Fi not working
Hello and thanks again for keeping our great ancient device alive I have, however, encountered one very unfortunate problem with the wi-fi, which connects to the wi-fi network but then there's no internet connection. I tried updating the radio to the newest version found here, I have tried installing Wifi Fixer and re-installing the ROM a couple times. On previous ROMs (stock CM 7.2 and Andromadus Mimicry (CM9.1)), the wi-fi worked just fine. Also the wi-fi router provides connection to other devices seamlessly. Do you have any idea where the problem might be?
EDIT: OK, to make sure, I flashed CM 7.2 again (both stable and latest nightly), only to find out that on this particular wi-fi network, internet connection doesn't work for my Desire Z so something's probably wrong with the router TP-Link TL-WR740N.
EDIT2: Connectify solved the problem so there's definitely something wrong with the router, even though it has the latest firmware. (And the strangest thing is that Connectify worked fine while sharing internet connection from the same router that didn't work with my Desire Z directly... WTF? )
Slow response and out of space (AlterNdromadus CM10.1)
Hi, I'm new to custom ROMs, and I'm certainly no developer, but I have been successfully running this one on my HTC Desire Z for about a month. It's been more or less fine but I have two issues:
1. My phone seems to be getting slower and slower to respond. Is that just because I'm an app addict and I have installed too much crap?
2. I'm getting the "out of space" error when I try to install or update apps, even though according to the DiskUsage app I'm using I have 110 MB free on internal storage. I have seen the fix of deleting the logs in /data/logs, but this directory does not exist on my phone! Where else should I look for old logs? What else can I try?

I use an appcache cleaner ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.cache ) and also you might think about moving apps to the sdcard.

Well, I've tried both, and I currently have 126.9mb free in internal storage and 128.7mb free on the SD card. But I still get an "insufficient space" error when trying to update apps.
What is the underlying source of this problem? And what can I do about it? It seems odd that I can't update a 50kb app when I have 126mb free.
PS: apologies if this got posted twice; I thought I responded yesterday but I don't see the other post.

try clearing the data of the play store and see if that helps.
Rats, still getting the error.
Slide unlock with pattern security
Hello is there a way how to disable slide shotcuts when I wake up my phone and skip to pattern entry? I don't want to use those shortcuts and it is just an annoyence :/

sorry out of thoughts....maybe a ROM reload.
I get that insufficient space error quite a bit - here are some things to try:
Uninstall updates for the Google Play Store through "Settings" --> "Apps" --> "All." I've had better luck with earlier versions of the Play Store, though very recent builds seem to be improving WRT this behavior.
I usually try to keep 140-180 MB free, which will be enough for most programs to update. Problematic ones are Swype, Swiftkey, Dropbox, and OneNote, which can be uninstalled and reinstalled with the later version if necessary.
I move plenty of stuff to SD with "DS app2SD Lite" and uninstall things like Talkback with "System Apps Remover (Root)." I also run "lagfix (fstrim) free" ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix&hl=en ) every now and again, which might help further.
As far as slowness - you can try tips mentioned a few pages back in the ROM threads for setting up internal swap with Turbo Boost ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145133 ) and misc scripts like Supercharger v6 which is also included in the more comprehensive "PurePerformance" mod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360670 ).
Some critical opinions on Supercharger: https://plus.google.com/+AndrewDodd/posts/3AaCammc2Jw
In any case, with a fast swap set up with Turbo Boost, you can reduce or disable ZRam entirely.
One Desire Z user's example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55825801&postcount=1113
I also use Amazon services & appstore, which to my regret runs in the background always and won't hibernate. Appstore / Amazon store app / Amazon Music all churning away, sucking up my precious megs and mips and is the cause for some of my own hiccups.
I also occasionally boot to 4ext Recovery and run fsck over adb shell to try to fix filesystem errors for each block device that never seem to stop cropping up. I actually have to reformat cache as ext2, then ext4 again to clear some... but that's probably another issue.
Hope some of this helped.

*sigh* I thought you might say that...
At any rate I went ahead and cleared everything off the SD card (after backing up, of course), then I ran all of the formatting and clearing options in CWM a couple of times. I also messed around with the partition size options in CWM. I didn't take a note of what sizes I chose but I went with the middle of the range options.
After flashing everything again and restoring what I could, it all seems fine again. Perhaps I missed a step in cleaning up before switching from CM7 to this ROM and left too much old info hanging around, eating up space and confusing things? DiskUsage now reports 485mb free, even though I restored all of the apps except GOBackup. Maybe the backup files were being stored in the wrong place.
Hi,
Having one old D-Z on shelf and now got inspired to flash custom Rom in it and this AlterNdromadus 10.1 seems most interesting Rom on sight, there is only one problem; can't find any download link for Rom
Could someone post a link or direct me to right place?

I got my copy from the link in the first post on the thread.
Lock sdcard access through USB possible if phone is locked ?
Hi,
Firstly, thanks a lot for AlterNdromadus !
I just migrated from my old CM 7.0.3 to this latest AlterNdromadus and ... ok, I should have to update earlier
I also flashed the latest gapp-light, updated my radio to latest Europe one and fixed the GPS with the recommended tool (just in case due to radio update)
Everything is ok except one thing. I set a PIN on my phone but it is still possible to access sdcard through USB cable even if the telephone is locked.
For me, it's like a security hole even if the SD card is physically accessible.
After googling the problem :
- I tried to find a "charge only" option without success (settings ==> storage ==> menu ==> USB connection to computer (path "translated" from french))
- I tried to disable usb mass storage but at least one of the three options has to be selected in the menu : USB Mass storage, PTP or MTP.
Why it is possible to access the SD card even if the phone is locked ?
Is there a way to fix this ? or a workaround ?
Thanks
P.S. Yes, English is not my native language
There is already already a KitKat Rom for HTC Desire Z. Problem with Desire Z is, that the hardware performance comes to an end, what I read in that post, so that someone went back to your 4.2.2 version. This was my experience, too, with an optimized 2.3.5 ROM. Without freezing some system apps my configuration wouldn't work on that. I am happy to be able to run a Android 4 version on the Desire Z at all to be able to install apps working only on 4 onward.
Great Rom but touch screen problem
This rom is great, But has anyone experienced touch screen problem after installing it?
I have to frequently lock on and off when my screen seems to stop responding to my touch.
How to fix it please?
Yep -- I have exactly the same problem. But I have to say that this issue has appeared after a some month of using this ROM.

No auto rotation and Google Play Movies not working
Thanks for the work on the ROM. Most thing work well but a couple of issues I've had are mentioned in the title above. I do have the auto rotate option in settings but it does not work. It stays in portrait no matter what I do, but when I open an app that only has landscape mode that'll open fine but it'll get stuck in that position even after I exit the app. I have to open an app that only has portrait mode then exit that app to have the screen flip back. Also, whenever I try to watch anything on Google Play Movies it'll say "playback not supported on this device." Once again, thanks for all your hard work.

I looked into the auto rotate issue. seems to work fine for me, both on the Google Now Launcher and the AOSP Launcher2... did you come from another ROM/Android version/restore with titanium backup? anything that may cause the issue, try a clean install.
As for the Google Play Movies issue, I downloaded it and took a look, you're correct, it doesn't seem to play. I haven't tried local videos. I did a logcat and it threw a DRM error at me, it then gave me the thought that does unlocking the bootloader on a nexus remove DRM keys of any sort? I know it does on Xperia and have had one of their devices. I'll look into it.

Thanks for the quick reply. The rotation issue may have something to do with the fact that I did a dirty flash, coming over from Paranoid Beta 4.6. The reason I did this was because I currently reside in Cambodia and a clean install will not let me re-enable Google Now. Since PA 4.6 is Kit Kat I still have Google Now enabled and a dirty flash allowed me to keep that setting. I'll try and google some work arounds for getting back google now and if I can find a solution I'll try a clean install.
Any updates to the Google Play Movies issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

One more thing I should mention is that I did the exact same thing for my Nexus 5. I did a dirty flash from PA 4.6 using your rom for the Nexus 5 and I have had none of these issues. I was able to keep Google Now, auto rotate works fine and I can also view all my shows on Google Play Movies.

That's probably your issue, you could backup with TWRP, flash and clean install, then use titanium backup just to restore google now from the nandroid?
I fail to see how your location effects that though, surely you could just flash it here on XDA, I'm sure there are some Google Now zips lurking around.
I'm having a look into it now, I'll probably reach out for help from some others, but should be fixed in the next build
EDIT:
Each device is different, I've seen dirty flashes work and not work from device to device it's very hit and miss. Rascarlo supports the N5 ROM, not me

Android 5.0 requires the turning on of location reporting for Google Now to work. This is not allowed in certain regions, Cambodia being one of them and the option is completely unavailable. I'll try your suggestions with TWRP and Titanium although I do remember seeing an article regarding a work around for this.
Hello everybody!
It's my first time modding an Android device, so I decided to flash a Google Stock-like ROM on my LG G3 (D855). At first I rooted and installed TWRP using this useful tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/tools-srk-tool-1-0-1-useful-toos-lg-t3079682
Then I flashed CyanogenMod 12.1 Nightly (which seems to be the best and most supported ROM...) and GApps. Everything seems to work fine but I have a bunch of questions to better understand how to improve usability and performance.
1) What are exactly GApps, and why do I find one million versions of these? Is it a procedure to, eventually, re-install them without wiping everything?
2) After flashing I'm not able to use apps like QuickBoot to reboot in Recovery Mode "comfortably". When I tap that choice nothing really happens. Does anybody know why?!
3) I've installed Nova Launcher and combined it with CM Locker, because of the interesting possibility to auto-light on the display on notifies. Anyway, I'm no more able to double tap to sleep on my lockscreen, except if I double tap on the state-bar. Is there any solution to modify this behaviour?
4) What is Xposed? How is it related with ROM, CyanogenMod, LG G3?
5) I use bluetooth to connect to my Alpine stereo in my car. Since I installed CM12.1 I need to pair the devices EVERYTIME! Why they do not recognize forever just after the first pairing?
6) After installing CM 12.1 i noticed more battery leaking and device heating, so I supposed I could install a different kernel. Is this consideration right? I've installed 777 but don't know how to measure the improvements, could someone give me some metrics to have an idea?
7) what are the schedulers and how should i configure them??
Thanks in advance to everyone who'll answer to even one of my questions!
Hi
Welcome, i 'll answer as best I can.
1. Gapps are the Google apps I.e . Play Store, Google, Gmail etc. Although you can run CM without them but you would miss out on many options.
2. Go into settings and tap about and tap Build Number 7 times and you will get Developer options. In this you will find the option advanced boot and tapping this will allow you to select from a menu when you press the button to sw off the phone, which has recovery.
3&4 Cannot comment on Nova or Xposed as I don't use them.
5. Only use Bluetooth to cennwct to my LG G-pad 8.3 and my Sony Smartwatch 2 and it works fine with them.
Hope this is of some help.

4. Xposed is a framework for modules that can change the behavior of the system and apps without touching any APKs. That's great because it means that modules can work for different versions and even ROMs without any changes (as long as the original code was not changed too much). It's also easy to undo. As all changes are done in the memory, you just need to deactivate the module and reboot to get your original system back. There are many other advantages, but here is just one more: Multiple modules can do changes to the same part of the system or app. With modified APKs, you to decide for one. No way to combine them, unless the author builds multiple APKs with different combinations.
Note that this only works with root access on Android 4.0.3 or later.
Hope this would be helpful.

I've been using this with Ting. Seems more stable than the CM-11 build that I was using. Mms & cell data are the two things that do not work out of the gate for me. Wondering how this shapes up with Sprint. I vaguely remember cell data working, but I don't think the default mms app did. However, I was able to use a third party mms app for pictures.
If this works well for people I'll see what I can do about getting my changes pulled upstream.

What gapps version to use?
Thanks for providing this! I've installed it, to replace my cm-12-20151108-NIGHTLY-ls970.zip ROM. But I haven't been able to find a gapps download that will work with this (all Google services keep crashing) or fail to installed (Status 6). Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
gapps version
I was able to get this working. After battling through a barrage of pop-up messages telling me that various google apps had crashed (repeatedly for each one), I got into Play Store and did an update all. I had to uninstall/reinstall Keep and Messenger, and now all seems well.
The only thing I'm currently having a problem with is Titanium Backup, which keeps crashing no matter what I've tried.
Otherwise, all seems to be working well. I'm hoping that a the flaky problems I was having with the previous CM-12 ROM will be fixed with this version.
For whatever reason, no matter what version of CM12 I install, wifi does not work. I'll put in the password and then it times out "failing to authenticate." Have you run into this issue? Any known fixes?

My wifi is working. With the previous CM12 install I did have a problem where wifi would stop working after it was connected ("!" next to the wifi indicator), and I'd have to turn the wifi off and on again to fix it. I haven't experienced that problem yet with this build, though it's too soon to know if that problem has gone away.

Yeah I just went through unrooting and going to stock (where it worked fine) and now tried again to install without luck. I don't understand this problem or what could possibly be the issue at this point.
Edit: I have noticed that I'm not seeing my 5 GHz network although it was available in stock.
Profile switcher
It seems the option to switch profiles from the power button is gone. In the settings for buttons, there's an option to show "Airplane Mode", but not the profile selector. I do have multiple profiles created, so it's not because of that.

Hey geodosch, same experience here with pop up errors with one difference, I was not able to get into Play Store... I only have four com.google.* green droid icons, and after clicking them I get 'App isn't installed'. Which gapps did you install, any other tips?
Many thanks!
I tried quite a few, but the one I eventually used was downloaded from opengapps.org. Select ARM; 5.1; Micro. You may want to use a different variant based on your needs. The details of what's in each is here.
The filename for the one I used is 'open_gapps-arm-5.1-micro-20160304.zip'
I don't recall anything else special I needed to do. I hope this helps!
A couple of issues
I've found was appears to be a bug in the call log. Whenever I make an outgoing call, the call log shows an incoming call at the same time, with the ID of "unknown".
The other is an intermittent problem, which I haven't been able to determine how to reproduce. Sometimes the screen will go black, with the exception of the top status bar. I've had it happen when unlocking the phone, and also when opening a new app. Once this occurs, I've only been able to recover by rebooting. Holding the power button does bring-up the reboot screen, and as mentioned the status bar is fine, so it doesn't appear to be related to the display driver. I also took a screenshot when it was in this state, and the image is what the screen looks like: black with a status bar.
Sorry for the seemingly silly question, but where is the download? Following the link leads me to a wiki which leads me to a nightly build from mid 2015.

Did you click the "Downloads" tab near the top of this topic? (Between "Discussion" and "Reviews") There should be a link there to "cm-12.1-20160127-UNOFFICIAL-ls970.zip", dated 2016-01-28.
Thanks for the tip on where to find the download. This is actually a really clever thing to do; integrating the download into the forum navigation itself.

I'm having a lot of trouble getting Google Apps installed. I get the messages about the failures, but no Google Play store appears. I've tried on the latest "nano" release -- I'll try the exact file you mentioned.
One difference may be that I'm on TWRP 2.8.3.0 -- what's your recovery? Mine cries foul about no SELinux context support in the kernel, and I also noticed the Gapps blob said something about fixing SELinux permissions (it doesn't report success or failure). After installation there are 4 or 5 "google logo" icons that don't do anything, labeled com.android.google.whatever that don't open, instead claiming "XXX isn't installed" where XXX is the name of the app. Another poster here said the same. Anyway, I'll try that particular file and cross my fingers!
Edit: nope. Transferred the Gapps zip to the storage, booted into recovery, wiped everything except internal storage, flashed the ROM, flashed the GApps, reboot. Still get a bunch of green lifeless icons that won't load any app. What to do?
Ah, looks like I was right. It's the silly SELinux thing. The trick is to go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524485 and set the phone to permissive. Which you can totally do because you can go into the build info and click build number until you get "developer mode" enabled and enable root access in apps. Then everything works perfectly, even from a seemingly glitched install, regardless of GApps version. Pretty nice eh?
I'm gonna let everything update and then try reenabling SELinux, for kicks.
[edit]Ah, rebooting screws everything up again until the SELinux changer finally loads and changes things to permissive. So it doesn't exactly stick at boot. Still looking for a permanent fix...

I'm running ClockworkMod 6.0.4.7. It's been a while since I originally installed the CM ROM, but I know I didn't have any luck with TWRP, though I can't say for certain that it was at fault... it may have been due to some other issue which I later fixed, and switching to CWM may have been incidental.
I've found that using the official CM recovery fixed my gapps woes.
On another note, GPS isn't working for me.
So, I totally didn't see any notifications that this thread was active. I've been working on trying to get Marshmallow up and ran into a dead end. So, I came here.

Same here, although it doesn't do it for all callers, I'll rebase on the newest code and see that does the trick.

The other is an intermittent problem, which I haven't been able to determine how to reproduce. Sometimes the screen will go black, with the exception of the top status bar. I've had it happen when unlocking the phone, and also when opening a new app. Once this occurs, I've only been able to recover by rebooting. Holding the power button does bring-up the reboot screen, and as mentioned the status bar is fine, so it doesn't appear to be related to the display driver. I also took a screenshot when it was in this state, and the image is what the screen looks like: black with a status bar.

I experienced the same. Although, I haven't in some time, since I stopped trying to use multiple profiles, that must contribute. adb still works as well, and I tracked the error in the code and it was right next to a TODO item. Go figure. If you see it again and are next to a computer, see if you can't get a logcat so I can check on that code again.

It seems the option to switch profiles from the power button is gone. In the settings for buttons, there's an option to show "Airplane Mode", but not the profile selector. I do have multiple profiles created, so it's not because of that.

It's there, under "Power menu". Just search for power.

I read somewhere that you may need to get a lock in a ZVC build before flashing. Try that. It sounded like hog wash to me, and didn't work when I tried it. But, after updating the libs, all was fine. So, maybe both conditions must be met. On a positive note, I rarely have GPS enabled, but when I flip the switch, it comes on. So, it's not like you need to leave it on across reboots.

Glad to see you taking I look here. I really don't want to replace my Optimus G, since all phones now seem to be either low-end performance or over-sized. So I'm glad I can still keep mine going with these builds.

I hadn't tried adb before rebooting (Murphy's Law: whenever it happened I was often doing some time-constrained task, so I just rebooted as quickly as I could.) But the next time it happens I'll connect and check the logs. It's interesting that you mention multiple profiles, because it seems to have happened several times in my car, and I have profiles set-up to switch when the car bluetooth connects/disconnects.
If you're going to be poking around in the code, another issue that I've been having is the default app for the browser no longer seems to work consistently. I know this worked on an older CM12 build, and think it used to work on this one. But when something launches a browser I'm very often prompted for which one (Chrome or Browser.)

In the power menu, I see an option to switch users (which is disabled, since I don't have multiple users set-up), but I don't see an option for Profiles.

Hello,
I'm very new to this so please excuse me, if I don't understand terminology. I figure I'd list what I think would be needed, above. Camera doesn't work. The icon isn't showing in the app console ( button on main screen lists alll the apps a-z) but if I go into setting I see the camera. The only things I've done to the phone was the steps needed to have los on the phone ( bootloader, TWRP, LOS) the device isn't rooted. I googled and looked here I could find anything that resolved this issue. I assume its resolved and there documentation somewhere I can't seem to locate it.
I don't know how to try and see if the camera does anything as I don't know how to do that from within setting. I have installed Simple Camera and nothing, black screen and that it. Oh, and flashlight doesn't work either. Screen shots seem to be working.
If anyone could advise me on what steps to take, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !!
Oh, I couldn't find anything but is there any issue with adding a sd card ? I don't want to order one and all that to find out I simply wasted my time.

Why not current official lineageOS?

I did, 17.1. I've tried unofficial build ( microG ) Kind of throwing things at the wall and seeing if it sticks. Those both behave the same way as above can see the camera in setting under app, but no launch icon. It's not the end of the world, and I don't have to, but adding repos and then having to manual add the finger prints, is starting to become torture.
