I recently did a clean install (full wipe) from CM10 late October release to the stable CM10 that was just released using the latest TWRP (2.3.1) and apps reinstalled with Titanium.
Everything seems to be working, but Google Now has a card that says "Location Services is turned off..." However, all my location services are enabled in the settings menu.
Is anyone else having this issue? Is there any available solution?
I have this issue as well. Not just CM10, but ParanoidAndroid has it as well.
Fixed it!
Updated gapps through the goomanager app and all is right with the world again!
Google now works fine, except for the fact i have to yell for it to understand me. Also when i activate it and it makes that bloop sound its static sounding.

Are you on aosp? Try speaking in a normal tone using the top microphone. As for the notification sound being distorted, its just really loud for some reason. In viperrom (sense based) you can lower the notification volume a bit and distortion goes away. You should be able to independently adjust notification volume for different notifications. I haven't found an equivalent fix in aosp roms yet but its basically the same issue

I'm on cm 10 if i googled right then yes aosp. Viperrom was my previous rom if that tells you anything. And talking into the top mic worked.
Look around the play store and see if you can find an app that has a seperate adjustment for notification volume and use it to tone down google now and the distortion should go away, you should still be able to use global volumes to keep notifications loud. Wish it was baked in like viper rom

Hey folks, question. Now it's driving me nuts how the notification and ringer volumes are connected now in ICS where as before we had the option to unlink them. I get emails all through the night but I can't turn my notifications down at night because it turns down the ringer, can't have that.
Anyone know of a way to break the link or am I just going to have to deal with it?
This seems to be a common issue with the ICS leaks. Unfortunately, I don't think any of the ROM developers have split them yet.
Very interesting.... I'll dig into it and see if we can't come up with a solution...

I've tried 4 different apps to solve this prob and none work right. I use sound manager to turn off notifications at night but leave ringer on, but i can't get it working with those apps.
Hopefully its an easy fix to unpair them.

Sounds good!!! Please keep us posted if you do find something, it's really driving me nuts. I don't know who's bright idea it was to remove the option to split them, dumbest thing I've seen in a while.
I just turn off the 3g/wifi before I go to bed. No emails come in, but texts and calls will still come in. Been doing that ever since I moved to Android.

I've been using Audio Manager app to control my volumes, you can set schedules when volume levels are to be changed, I never had to do anything manually. I have enough stuff going on everyday don't need another thing to remember to do before passing out, lol. Good idea though, if it gets too bad I may have to give that a go.
Bought ICS Enhanced Ringer control from the market - $2.99.
It duz separate the ringer/notification link however it must be manually enabled/disabled.
I'm hoping the dev adds a scheduler, or a widget to make it easier to enable.
Either way, it works and solves the problem.
Hi there,
I just want to share that for ICS there is a tool on the market which can disable notifications at night, while still the ringer is "enabled", not muted.
Problem with ICS is that notification volume is directly linked to ringer volume. When you manually disable notifications, you will never hear your phone ring....which can be bad.
So:
In case I don't want to hear notifications at night, but incoming calls will ring as normal I use the following tool (free from market) :
"ICS notification silencer free"
With the free edition you can only define 'one' profile, with a start and end time when to disable notifications (example:sleeping time).
With the paid version you can define more profiles, depending on day etc.
I liked the free edition already as it has enough features just to disable notification when I am asleep.
Hope you enjoy this tool, and sleep well on ICS

Another solution
Ive been dealing with this since ICS first came out, and its been driving me nuts.
I need no text notifications at night, but the phone needs to ring if someone calls.
I tried ICS ringtone control and ICS Silencer. ICS ringtone didnt have a scheduler so I had to set it manually every night.
For the last week Ive tried Profile Scheduler and its worked perfectly. I assume other profile apps would work too, so
check them out.
Heres what I did. Create/download a silent ringtone mp3 - I named mine "Silence - 30sec". I then went under the
"Night" profile and made the notification sound that ringtone, and left all the volumes the way they are. I then created
a rule activating that profile from 10p-7a. I then changed 'conditions not met' to the normal profile, to change it back to
normal when its done. Under the normal profile, I made my ringtone my original one.
Good luck, and until ICS unlinks the sliders, this has worked best for me.

I have flashed 5 different ROMs, and the only one (HTC Evo4G LTE) that separates them is CM10.
I ran it for a bit, but switched back to ViperRom, and use Phone Schedule app to simply change the ringtone
for my notification sounds, at whatever time I need.
I have a silent ringtone, and use it for notification sounds between 9p and 7a, and then it automatically
switches back to a audible music ringtone.
Hope this helps.

I think they did it so when you turned the ringer volume up or down, the notification volume would go up our down accordingly, which is desirable behavior. But it is annoying if you need them to be controlled separately.

Hello everyone. Just to let you know, I posted this on the i9000 forums as well as it seems to be non device specific.
Basically, any ICS ROM (I primarily use CM9 and MIUIv4) I use has really awful sound. CM7.2 sounds superb!
How do I describe the sound? Well, it's like there's a tiny thumping mono aural sound when you listen to your music. And when a song hits a high note, everything just goes muffled/crumpled.
Any ideas anyone?
(even on the i9000, with Voodoo sound, does the same effect)
I noticed the same as well with custom ics roms, it must be due to lack of some stuff left behind in gb roms or some compability problems. Hopefully it will be fixed with the official ics.
Cheers for that! I thought i was the only one!

If you go to settings>sound in ics there is something called 'Audio effects'. Disable that for your wired earphones and internal speaker and sound would get back to the way it is in gingerbread.

Thank for your reply, but alas, I cannot find any setting like you said. There's the DSP effects, but changing any of the settings there (enable/disable) does not help in any way.
Whenever I reboot my phone I lose the notification settings to various apps that use custom notifications that I add to my phone. If a certain app uses a built in notification sound it is fine, however if I set say sms notification to the msg codec or any custom notification sound I have to go back into that particular app and redo that sound. Anyone else having this issue? I am on Verizon Droid Razr Maxx using the 5/25 nightly of cm 10.1
Also I have tried flashing other nightlies and the various RCs but I have the same issue.

I've noticed the same, as I use sounds downloaded off Zedge for both my main ringtone/notification as well as individual ringtone/notification sounds. RC4 was just released and I tested this post release. Looks like the issue continues.

Powerful friends. You are my idol. If you have time, can you help port MIUI on stock? Hah. I will try this colorful ROM ASAP.
works great and multilenguage on spanish works fine some apps in jap
Most functions are ready and stable.
Except that bugs in CM4.2.2, such as the loudly call volume, as it is in MIUIV5 on CM4.2.2.
Is that possible port color OS based on CM10(4.1.2). As I known, current I717 only has CM10 for stable usage although
it has random reboot.
One more, can the soft virtual key can be truned off? As I717 already has real touch key and the virtual key occupies
the screen and no much usage.
I don't see color OS has more apps and functions than MIUI, but it occupies 400M, why?
As I see, it is another style ROM, but not powerful as MIUI it is.
I check that the color OS is already in V2.0.0 (published on 2014.4.4), but current for I717 is V1.0.0.
I had a bit of trouble getting through the "welcome" screen due to the language but after using it for a day the rom feels pretty stable. I have had one problem though. I'm unable to listen to my headphones through the 3.5mm jack. I get a bit of static feedback through the headphones when I plug them in but the music doesn't play through them. Tried the stock music app and Play Music and no luck. Has anyone else had this problem? Also an option to hide the visual buttons at the bottom would be nice since they take up screen space. Themes work pretty well and look great also.
Overall, I like the animations and my phone runs pretty smooth. Just those little things I noticed.

I didn't check the headphone on 3.5mm jack. Just have a fresh try on this ROM and then switch back to MIUIV5 quickly.
Did you notice the call volume issue? The volume is loudly and you need to press speaker for once back then it back to normal. But it will reproduce again in next call.

Yes I was able to test it out and the first time I called it was pretty loud. I turned the call volume down during the dial tone and the recipient didn't hear an echo anymore through the ear speaker. I hung up and called back. They always hear an echo on the speakerphone but not on the in-ear speaker. I rebooted my phone and tried again and they didn't hear an echo. As long as my call volume is 50% or below they don't hear their voice echoing. I only called one person though so it could be different for another. This was after about 20 minutes of testing.
Rooted by installing flashable supersu binary update. Worked. Installed an incompatible xposed module and it crashed launcher. Love the music place and photo place on launcher screens.(launcher in general was sweet) Would like to get rid of nav bar and receive english interface for color os specific settings. (Example: accounts ask for phone #, name etc in english but agreements and descriptions are in another language making them useless if not deceiving.
Edit: Capacitive keys stayed on as well.

Here's to the beginning:http://en.miui.com/thread-18061-1-1.html
Played around with this again. Showed it off to some co-workers. Didn't kill it with xposed this time. Lol. The following sign in tip helped immensely.
"After the Google sign in screen, ignore the green and blue buttons and press the smaller white characters below. Then uncheck the box on the next screen and hit the big green button."
Just the fore mentioned issues with the earphone plug not issuing sound (sound continues to output through and speaker) and lit capacitive keys bother me.

There are a lot of things I want/need to do with the new update. No one is really talking about it, I know a lot of people probably haven't even updated yet. But I figured it would be nice to have a thread where these things can be addressed and updated as we get them done.
Xposed - The big one. Currently gets stuck in bootloop with the Unofficial version of Xposed for 5.1. Bootloop is easily fixed by running xposed-uninstaller in TWRP.
Change Phone DPI - currently working - *Requires Root* Change it how you usually do. Edit build.prop, or use an app like RomToolBox. I find that 264 works well and looks good. @xordos has a comprehensive guide here.
Apps don't auto-start after reboot - Partially fixed - *Requires Root*use a program like TitaniumBackup to install the apps you want to start at boot as a "system app". This will allow them to start after a reboot, but you will need to reconfigure them after you convert them. Do this for apps like Viper, over-clocking apps, and Tasker. Credit to @Iguanadon
3rd Party Launchers not sticking after reboot - Fixed - *Requires Root* All you have to do is freeze the stock launcher. Use a program like TitaniumBackup, find "Huawei Home" and freeze it. Make sure you have Nova or another Launcher installed first!
Battery Percentage in status bar - Until xposed is working there is a neat little app that allows you to have an overlay on your battery icon like this. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done. The app can be found here. Might want to leave accessibility access off, because it pops up a window everytime you plug or unplug the charger. Doesn't seem to start at boot. Could be annoying to launch the app every time you reboot...depends how often you do it.
Lockscreen - Stock one is horrible compared to stock lollipop. It is kind of pretty, but it takes multiple swipes to unlock sometimes, it doesn't show any notifications, its basically wasted space. I would like the stock Lollipop lockscreen. Anyone have any ideas besides the not so great one in the Playstore? I would rather have an official system lockscreen. On jellybean you just had to freeze the Huawei lockscreen. Now if you freeze Huawei Keyguard, the there is no lockscreen at all. Just the screen turns on and you're on your launcher home-screen. I tried finding the lockscreen app on a cm12 device, but it looks like it's built into the systemUI. I am currently using CM Locker. It's pretty nice, has notifications, and doesn't seem to have a delay like most 3rd party lockscreens.
Multitask screen - Again, I would like the stock Lollipop one, also built into the SystemUI. Once we have xposed, there is a pretty nice app here. Then you can assign the multitask button on your nav bar to open that instead. Worked well for me on jellybean.
The carrier text in the status bar - Fixed - Disabled in settings>display>display carrier name (thanks @xordos)
Boost speaker volume and possibly fix audio cut out bug - somewhat fixed - *Requires root* It's really quiet for some reason, considerably quieter than it was on Jellybean....I have had success with Viper4. Make sure you have BusyBox installed, and run it it at least once to install the framework. Then launch Viper4 and do all the stuff it tells you....Install driver, disable LPA, etc. Enable speaker master switch, enable "eXtra-loud" setting at the bottom, and change "Effect Strength" to Extreme. I noticed about a 20-30% volume increase from this. Might need to be launched again after a reboot, or install as system app. As a bonus, this app/driver also seems to fix the terrible audio bug where audio cuts out, and the phone starts lagging. Only 99% sure, but it hasn't happened to me while its active.
Change boot animation - Pretty standard guide I made here. This post includes the stock Lollipop animation.
If anyone has another thing or two they want fixed, I can add it here. If I find any answers I will update as well.

Nope. You can either keep upping the whole phone DPI little by little, or maybe use a different browser. I haven't noticed any discrepancies yet in my apps with 264.

Volume Increase
Any way to increase the volume steps so that the audio is louder? I have the volume all the way up and sometimes I can't really hear what I'm listening to unless I hold the speaker to my ear or wear headphones. I was using an xposed module to do this, but until xposed becomes available is there anything that works to increase the volume so its louder? The xposed mod I was using is called Volumesteps+ and can be found at http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.p1ngu1n.volumesteps . any help would be appreciated.

I tried it when I had 4.3 and couldn't really tell any difference. I tried it again this morning with not much luck either. It just doesn't seem louder than what normal volume would be. I know its not going to be extremely loud. I just want something that I don't have to hold the phone to my ear to hear what they're saying. Also with viper it hasn't been setup for 5.1 yet only 5.0.

On my nexus 5(which also had a horrible speaker), you could edit the mixer_paths.xml to boost the volume. I tried it on my Mate2, and couldn't really notice a difference.
After installing busybox, the viper4 driver, and disabling the LPA setting it recommends to, I can say Viper makes a noticeable difference for me. Probably about 25-30% louder.
Make sure you Enable the master switch at the top for speaker, and the "eXtra loud" setting at the bottom, and put Effect strength on Extreme.
