No Voice Search

I have tried a fresh erase and install, then installing gaps after 1st boot. I tried it twice with gapps from Cyanogenmod and Goo.im. My problem Voice search is not working at all. Is anyone else having this problem?

Hey guys hands down this is the smoothest and best rom out there. Great great work!

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

hard for me to flash gapps too. I am on at&t and can't set up the htc 2.2.2 ruu because the wizard is only compatible with windows (which i don't have)...anyone out there running gapps on their at&T aria wanna give me a hand on how to flash it?

GPS lock

Hey, munjeni.

Is there a known issue with very slow GPS lock (I'm located in southeastern Pennsylvania in US)? I've read through the entire thread and saw a couple of posts very early on in the development of this ROM regarding GPS, but nothing too much since then.

When I start up Google Maps, Google Navigation, Endomondo, or just about any other application that uses GPS for determining location, it seems like the first lock takes 3-5 minutes. Once I have the initial lock in one app, it locks on almost instantly when I start another app.

What is odd is that I downloaded "GPS Status & Toolbox" by EclipSim to test GPS functionality and when I start the app, it locks onto 6-10 satellites within about 2-3 seconds. So, it seems that the GPS itself is working fine, but other apps are having a hard time locking on.

Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks in advance.

P.S. - Everything else in this ROM just rocks, by the way!

I have the same experience. It has to have something to do with the A-GPS data because GPS Status & Toolbox downloads this automatically, giving you the fast locks with that application alone. That is why I don't use that app as an indicator of initial lock time.

Follow my alternative instructions on how to apply the 2.2.2 update here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18541475&postcount=145

This method does not require Windows.

This worked great. it clearly says the hboot has been upgraded. Turned the phone off and booted into recovery and got a phone with a red triangle and an exclamation point...so...am i going to have to go through the steps to reroot my aria...or is this a problem with S-on? Let me know where to go from here.

That red exclamation mark is the stock recovery. You need to now flash CWM recovery.

You need to install CWM again, like themacman1000 said. But you need to run Revolutionary first. The full process is this:

1) Use Revolutionary. This will give you S-OFF.
2) Install CWM by downloading Android Flasher and this version of CWM (this is the latest version available now). Run Android Flasher and flash the img file to your phone as a recovery.
3) You're done, but still have an unrooted ROM because this process does not modify your stock ROM. Go into recovery to flash the ROM of your choice.

    Everyone who has shared their working ICS source - It has helped a lot in fixing things
    30
    Instruction/fixes/changelog is here:

    10.Apr.2012:
    • Wifi signal icon is fixed

    13.Apr.2012:
    • source totaly cleaned after some tests (pull reguest from Cyanodenmod cm9 repo + very small changes (like untached)), right key is in board_device_liberty :)
    • gps fixed (I'm not tested)
    • very fast and smooth response on everything
    • lightsensor fixed
    • libcamera.so is patched from msm7k to msm7x27 but not working (need to port old QualcommCameraHardware.cpp)

    27.Apr.2012:
    • Camera preview and camera shoot is fixed, not stable but working good [credits to modpunk, WinSuk and all who shared their source]
    • Ics librpc for gps fixed [credits to modpunk]
    • kernel updated [there was problem with memory allocation, so camera not worked from that reason...]
    • a lot of framework changes/cleanups is fixed by Cyanogenmod team so... [all credits to him]
    • maybe I forgot something? :)
    • light sensor/backlight is fixed and tested, please read this:


    • How to enable utomatic backligh:
      - go to settings/display/brightnress and set it to automatic
      - go to settings/display/automatic_backlight select use custom
      - go to settings/display/automatic_backlight/edit_other_levels and set 0,33,77,220,308,397,485,698,860,1023 seccond column 66,96,103,115,130,152,152,255,255,255 third column 255,255,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, than save&apply
      - go to settings/display/automatic_backlight and select allow light decrease
      - go to settings/display/automatic_backlight/decrease_hysteresis and set it to 50%

      Now its totaly automatic for me...​

    28.Apr.2012:
    • rom is deodexed now!

    03.May.2012:
    • New kernel with realigned Aria memory layout (heap size is increased for 8MB {adsp_size have 4MB more, gpu_size have 4MB more})... no more (sometimes but very less) force closes
    • New kernel modules (cifs, tun, nls_utf8, bcm4329.ko)... its needed for mounting network folders :)
    • New camera updates (Thanks WinSuk)
    • New memalloc and gralloc lib (disabled annoying "debug" log for memalloc... now its only "info" and "error")
    • Video still is not fixed (my wrong sorry... some HQ videos working but most of HQ videos not working :()... I think maybe reason is not good because googleOMX is msm7627 ?

    10.May.2012:
    • New kernel with new allocators (not fully ported from kernel 3 "contiguous memory nomap" only part of it :()
    • Kernel, enabled SLOB, enabled KSM, enabled LZO compresion needed for zRam... and a lot of other... you can see all changes on my git!
    • New camera upstream updates + camera timer + updates from WinSuk git (Thanks WinSuk, s0be, cm team and all who working on camera)
    • A lot of fixes from upstream
    • No force closes (added some scripts to init.d like zram automout, zram auto free, free pagecache, free dentries and inodes, modules automount, gps permission...)... but in prevention of force closes, you need to free memory sometimes to get android stable(I use airdroid app and his great memory releaser) :)
    • Old librpc + new gps.conf (gps have fast lock now)
    • First config screen on first boot :)
    • Video still is not fixed
    • Camera recorder is not fixed
    You need to enable "kernel same page merging" in setting/performance. To get full working autobacklight you need to enable "allow lights decrease" in settings/display/automatic_backlight. You do not need to enable zram, it's enabled by default by script until compcache_enable is fixed android side, kernel side it's good. This build is more stable for me!

    13.May.2012:
    • Logo for my kernel :)
    • Some tweaks for ram (you will have constantly 90mb amount of the free memory, so... less force closes or maybe no force closes:))
    • Camera recorder is fixed but... :( ((camcorder recording but no one cm9 rom for Aria have video encoding/decoding hardware bassed, its software bassed... 15 fps... we need hardware bassed compresion/decompresion to get fully working recorder and youtube videos)

    07.Jun.2012:
    • Mobile networks choosing in Select Network
    • zRam full fixed, you can enable/disable/set_size from settings menu
    • A lot a lot a lot of Cyanogenmod upstream changes :)
    • kernel: Framebufer console during boot (Its for fun... if you not like it I will disable in next build)
    • kernel: VR IO scheduler
    • kernel: InteractiveX governor
    • kernel: deep sleep mode

    09.Jul.2012:
    • All new Cyanogenmod upstream changes
    • kernel: Framebufer console during boot disabled
    • kernel: deep sleep mode (reverted back to like previous build)
    • some progress with FM radio (all is fixed and working but only have no audio :(... maybe some one have some programing skills to find what is wrong with audio? Or maybe to manually send command to kernel to get fm audio routing to headset?)
    12
    Kernel improvements: deep sleep mode working now (7mA battery drain :eek:) -> http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/1629/screenshot2012052019050.png ,new gsensor driver with support for android temperature sensor ;)...etc
    11
    New build is out, enjoy
