I thought it was about time to create a unified thread that everyone can add to, about ICS annoyances and issues that you are experiencing using the new ICS releases that are coming out almost daily now. The developers post what is not working, like "Camera", but in reality that just refers to the hardware that isn't working. Functionality is a different story and my hope is that this thread can be a single place where everyone posts what their annoyances/issues are and then the community can decide what items need to go on the "hot list" below. This list will be the items we'd like to see fixed by our ever-so-awesome development community.
Regardless of which ICS build you are using (ICS4BIONIC, CM9, AXI0M, AOKP, KANG, etc.) there will always be little quirks that you'd like to see fixed. Post them here, and we'll see where it goes!
NOTE: Try not to post "as designed" annoyances/issues. For example, if you don't like that pressing the apps tray button brings up the apps list, well that is how Google "designed" their OS to work. That is a preference thing, not an actual "issue" that needs to be fixed, so you should seek out a third party app to address your need. Also, this list should attempt to only contain items that are issues on all custom ROMs, not just your specific one.
I will start this out with my list. I will edit/modify this list as time goes by and items get fixed and recommended, or deemed important/unimportant by the participants of this thread.
CURRENT HOT LIST (updated 2012-02-29):
Data must be toggled to GSM then back to CDMA/LTE after every boot (This is commonly known by users who have been flashing ICS over the last few weeks/months)
Contact images do not restore, even after Facebook app is installed and all contacts are set to sync. All contacts have default gray Android image instead of contact photo.
If you make/receive a call while using other apps (such as Navigation) you cannot easily switch between them or go back to the home screen (you have to wait until the other person hangs up)
Screen rotation is VERY slow by default (200ms wait time). Change to 100ms or 50ms for easier usability
Camera works fine for still images, but you cannot record video. Pressing the record button does not start recording, it just flashes and does nothing. Switching to Panorama mode also crashes the camera app altogether.
Native Gallery no longer has scroll button to quickly drag through photo library. You have to manually swipe through multiple pages. In my case, I have about 50 pages of thumbnails, and have to swipe for about 30-45 seconds before I get to the date range of the photos I want to look at.
Toggling GPS sometimes modifies Location check boxes, and even though you have re-enabled GPS, you have to manually go into Settings/Location and recheck the "Standalong GPS" box
The native Launcher has no ability to add widgets by pressing/holding on the target home screen as in all other Android OS versions. You now have to go deep into the Apps/widget menu to add widgets (unless you use a 3rd party launcher which of course uses more memory, and should not be necessary)
Many Apps are unsteady and not ready for ICS, like K9 Mail, Root Uninstaller, etc. They will install, and seem to function, but odd behavior occurs. For example, K9 Mail will mix up user credentials between email accounts. Root Uninstaller will see all your apps, but show 0.00kb space used for some apps, so the "Uninstall" button is grayed out and the app cannot be removed. MovieStudio app crashes after creating new project.
Many Games (even simple ones like Doodle Jump and Cubes), will completely freeze up the phone and make it non-responsive after only 5-10 seconds of gameplay. The powerbutton will not even respond, and the user has to do a complete battery pull (which for me is a pain since I have an Otterbox, multiple-layers to remove, then put back on).
Apps that toggle the LED light are very delayed when trying to turn them off. For example, the most popular one on the Market is named "Tiny Flashlight + LED" which includes a widget to turn the LED on/off from your home screen. This worked flawlessly on Android 2.3, but on ICS toggling the LED is very unpredictable. Sometimes it takes 30 seconds to a minute to turn off. Sometimes it does not turn off at all, and the phone begins to get really hot and you have to reboot.
Native Wifi Tether/Hotspot Toggle does not work. You must use the 3rd party Wifi hotspot app.
The wallpaper is static now, and does not move in the background when swapping left/right between home screens. I have not found a way to modify this, and this may not be a "bug" per say, but how Android 4.x is designed (a change in GUI). If you are like me though and liked the old way which helped me know which screens I was on, then it can be annoying. The screen indicator line is so small now, a tiny 2 pixel bar at the bottom, so it is hard to see which segment is highlighted.
VoiceToText feature now does live translation, where it converts the words as you say them, rather than waiting until you finish speaking an then analyzing. This can be good and bad, since now you have to manually press a "Done" button everytime you stop speaking, as the voice engine will not automatically close and analyze when you stop talking as it does up through Android 2.3 (Gingerbread).
DSPManager (Digital Signal Processing app) only modifies output through plugged in speakers or headphones, not live playback through phone speaker.
Muting: The user is unable to mute a phone call. Pressing the mute mic button will cause it to flash, but the mute feature never actually enables.
NOTE: I will not change the numbers next to each issue, but instead add new ones to the list that you all come up with, so if you reference a specific # in your follow-up posts then they will always stay accurate throughout the life of this thread when others are reading it.

MIUI modifications are custom changes made by 3rd parties to modify the Android GUI/functionality and OS as a whole. Others can vote on this, but I don't believe this falls under the annoyance/issue category. Custom mods are really a different subject. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

I'm not certain what you mean by this response. Can you please clarify?
FYI - The intent of this list is to keep the issues to Android-OS related items that we'd like to see the developers fix or enhance to work better. This list should only contain issues/annoyances of the OS of official system apps themselves that we'd like to tweak or change. The whole concept behind MIUI is basically wanting to turn your Android phone, for exmaple, into an iPhone, by making the GUI behave like Apple. This is just an example as there are many various MIUI endeavors. Thes emodifications basically install custom apps and change the GUI of the OS. This would be considered an after-ROM addon and changes the fundamental design of Google's Android OS. That is not what this list is trying to get at. We want to make the Android OS, as it is intended, work better; not redesign the Android ROM altogether. I hope that makes sense.
For example - See Wintergon's previous post about not being able to mute a phone call. That's a defect/annoyance that should already work properly, so it was added to the hot list. Of course, comments, questions and other viewpoints are totally welcome.
Bluetooth
Upon reboot, I have to toggle Bluetooth on/off for anyone to hear me on a phone call.
I have flashed and used all ICS versions available except Mimiu and found this issue. I have not tried to use BT headset yet

I don't understand. If you are not using a Bluetooth headset then why is it enabled? Is this just for them to hear you using the handset mouthpiece like a normal call?

Hmm. I use wifi pretty much the whole day at work and at home and have never had any drops. They are different routers and ISPs as well. I would look into your wifi router settings. Try downloading the app named "Wifi Analyzer" from the Android Market and make sure your router is setup to use a Channel number that no neighboring wifi networks are using.

I am owning the device almost a month, as i am x mate 7 user the only thing Iam missing is the battery life, the rest are ok.
Also i have some bugs i wanted to report may huawei listen!
BUGS :
1. Losing the contacts names in whatsapp some time.
2. Connectivity or paring with bluetooth devices such as head set,car audio and android watch sometime disconnected without notice!
3. Accessibility access services turned off for the application need that access such as Notify, sound profile and Pushbullet.
Please shear your experience also if you have above bugs to confirm or you have any solution.

For me a workaround was to make sure the app I want notifications from is running, then press the recents button and find the app on the list, then swipe the app down, it will only move a little way then spring back and also obtains a small padlock icon.
You will probably also need to go to the settings menu and find either protected apps or app settings (depends if you are using the Lollipop version or the Marshmallow beta) and enable the setting for the app which makes it stay awake when the phone sleeps.
Thanks so so much. I try this out
You have tomark the app to run in background...
this is no bug it is an energy saving feature.
the device has a stock white list of apps allowed to run in background.
but normally you re asked if an app should be able to run in background or not.
any app that is not allowed to will be closed immediately in standby

N6 Oreo 8.1 [AOSiP-8.1-Official-shamu-20180617] TWRP & open_gapps-arm-8.1-micro-20180623.
Can't find Google icon in app drawer. How do I get the Google icon in app drawer?
How can I enable Double Tap to Wake?
I have other questions but I've been tweaking hard on rooting this, exploring & trying to figure N6 (new to me) & Oreo.
So I'll add other questions.
Almost all my progress so far due to ktmom, & Strephon Alkhalikoi. Starting here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481/page93
Post #928
Done a lot of searching, figuring & fixing on my own as well.
"Can't find Google icon in app drawer. How do I get the Google icon in app drawer?"
Use a different OpenGApps package.
"How can I enable Double Tap to Wake?"
Search for a mod to enable it. I'm not familiar with the ROM you're using - I use Nitrogen - so I don't know if there is a setting for it built in to the ROM.
Most kernel apps such as ka mod, or ex manager will enable what your looking for. Being you are running aosip its cooked with ex kernel which has double tap to wake. As far as Google...maybe try different gapps.
Let me also suggest that you read through the thread where the ROM was downloaded as there is always gems hidden away.
And I kinda suggest that using the stock open Gapps package with a config file to prevent the install of unwanted apps help you ensure all of the frameworks you need are installed.
You can create the config file as outlined in the open Gapps wiki I linked to in the other thread and then reboot to recovery and flash the new Gapps setup. The install script will remove the old packages and install the new ones based on any config file available.

No, as long as the data partition is not getting wiped, you won't lose play store apps. And there's no reason to wipe any partition for this exercise. The ones you flash in recovery go to system.

I have Double Tap to Sleep not Wake. So I'll happily ask for more ideas for that.
I imagine I will take your suggestion to flash stock open Gapps & write a create the config file as outlined in the open Gapps wiki. Not quite yet. I want to transfer my pdf, epub, photos, vids, get shortcuts sorted & just get used to my N6 before that.

Yes, sorry you're right. I don't use that. It's possible it's activated through a kernel app.

How do I turn off cellular data? I don't see a data icon in the notification bar. There is a wifi icon but whenever I turn off wifi cellular data starts up. I don't want that.
Do I need Titanium Backup to disable system apps? For instance I don't like the default file manager. Or is this an instance for reflashing open Gapps editing out the File manger in the config file?
What is the best way to disable ads systemwide? I'm using Blockada. Or is Adaway, Ablock or something else the way to go?

The AOSiP room comes with Elemental Ex kernel. Look at settings -> System -> About phone. I don't bother but I believe you can just install the Ex kernel app to manage settings. You'll need to read an Ex kernel thread.

I have no idea. Maybe it's not optimized for Oreo, maybe another app or mod is conflicting, maybe battery optimization needs to be turned off.

I have a replacement File Manager (OSS). So I'd like to disable (disappear it from app drawer) or uninstall it.
Thanks for notification dragging tip. As far as ad blocker using Netguard from XDA through F-Droid. Had a scare optimized everything for battery usage. Stuck at Google screen. Held power button till off, turned on undid what I did OK so far.
OH btw I have sort of double/triple tap to wake thing working. Doesn't always work. And it's always proceed by picking up or turning over the phone & the ROMs crossing swords clock popping up 1st. Then I tap away & get to the lockscreen. Not sure what I did.
What happens if I do a Factory Reset? I know all data gets wiped. But does it stay Rooted, on the Same ROM with the same open GAPPS? And if I do a Nandroid & restore it is it Exactly the same?

Try installing EX Kernel Manager and going to Gestures and enabling Double Tap2Wake. If support for DT2W is built into your current Kernel as previously mentioned then that should enable it.
I think I have DT2W sussed. If lay down the N6 on it's front & then turn it over DT2W works perfectly.

Battery optimization is the same as "doze". It's a feature to help reduce the drain apps can make on the battery. The only apps I manually have set to not optimized are Tasker, k9 mail, Termux (because it has some long scripts that run overnight) and Auto tools plug-in to Tasker.
If you factory reset, only data, cache and dalvik are wiped. This is true whether the wipe is done through the ROM in settings, or using the default factory reset through TWRP. Any apps installed to system (e.g. the open gapps you flashed with the ROM) will still be available. Root, because it's installed into the boot partition, will still be available. But the root app (e.g. Magisk manager) will need to be reinstalled after boot. All user apps, which are installed into the data partition will be wiped as well as updates to the apps on system that were downloaded from the play store.

The DT2W is tied to the gesture "lift to check" (settings->display->advanced->ambient display). I *think* this association is required because of changes in the Google code that prevent apps from doing (certain) things with the display off.

How do I assign Speed Dial #s?
When I long press a # I don't even get "no number has been assigned to this speed dial".
All I found so far are stupid Favorites or make a shortcut for a contact. If there's no Speed Dial that's REALLY stupid.
Thanks all.

You don't. That is what Favorites are for, as they are more efficient than speed dial. In fact, the dialer has never had speed dial. The only long press button is the number 1, and that is set for your voicemail.

I was afraid of that.
Why not offer both? Grrr frusty Speed Dial is easier for me. I don't want to look at Favorites. I want to open the Dialer & long press a number.
For instance in Speed Dial I'd assign 3-5 #s for personal contacts & 3 #s that are shtf #s.
I don't want to even think of the shtf #s let alone look at them in a Favorites page.
But when the shtf I just want to long press a #.
zapjb said:

Because speed dial is woefully inefficient and unnecessary on a smartphone. Dumbphones need it because they lack a quick method of dialing a desired number. With a smartphone, you have your most frequently dialed numbers on the Favorites page, with no need to remember which number a particular contact is located at. A tap on their picture and you've dialed them, and more quickly than with a long press of a digit.

I don't want to look at shtf #s on a Favorites page while calling my happy, happy, joy, joy friends & family.

I have recently installed miui.eu on my phone and for some reason i opened my privacy manager and saw this, i was astonished by this,
My device was automatically screen recording and i see no recordings in the recording app.
The timings of app opening are exact same as opening my banking and social media apps (maybe!!, Most of them are so a innocent guess).
I guess i need to go towards some stock android roms. If i am wrong don't bash in comments please explain i will understand. Thank you
EDIT:
1. Yes i disabled the screen recorder many times after this but still saw same results then i took the screenshot
2. No, I had no tiles in my control centre as screen recorder, I had removed all the unnecessary quick tiles.
3. I switched to evox for now and maybe wait for a global stable miui 12.
EDIT 2:
1. The service/app was started only when i used the phone and never when it was on sleep. (Maybe deepsleep/automatic app killing)
2. I disabled the app and it was still in use. (makes absolutely no sense)
3. I respect all the hardwork from the developers, staying up day and night for making these possible (miui 12 eu), I maybe wrong but will wait until some clarification.
4. Sorry devs and Thank you for your hardwork.
And all other apps that needed the autostart permission was denied by privacy manager but this app is allowed every single time.
You're scaring me[emoji102]

Okayyyyy I just had a look too, same as you eu.miui and the list is even longer. This is kind of...strange.
Just to add force stopping doesn't work even with autostart off. It seems to show 'started by system ui' every time I open discord or telegram which is very worrying. I think in the meantime until we get some answers to this I'll go a stock android custom rom too.

Go settings, apps then screen recorder or hold down the icon and tap app info.
You're looking for app behaviour it should be the 4th option down.
Also happening in MortalOS, maybe a miui12 thing
It does open randomly, doesn't open specifically for banking apps for me. I think it's got to do with its quicksetting or something but I don't think it's recording anything
It launches because you've Screen recorder tile on QS tiles, that's why it's on App behaviour. It's not a bug and issue, System UI have to check tile state and must interact with app directly for that. It's not an issue at all.
You can remove Screen recorder tile and should be fine.

It launches because you've Screen recorder tile on QS tiles, that's why it's on App behaviour. It's not a bug and issue, System UI have to check tile state and must interact with app directly for that. It's not an issue at all.

That's what I was thinking since it did the same thing with blokada even though I wasn't even using it

What about the other apps that autostart by themself where I already set them to not autostart.
In my case I'm just opened the telegram but some of my apps autostart by themself even I already set them off. Even the mail apps that I never open
Is that normal?
The screen recorder already disabled by now
Thanks in advance

Idk. It's Xiaomi issue (and probably purpose).

Disable what you don't use, also I think system apps are able to bypass permissions. The rest of the apps that you showed appear to have had their permission denied though
I got the same story on mix2s. I have rolled back to miui10
EDIT /Update :
1. Yes i had disabled the screen recorder many times after i saw this for the first time but still saw same results then i took the screenshot.
2. No, I had no tiles in my control centre as screen recorder, I had removed all the unnecessary quick tiles.
3. I switched to evox for now and maybe wait for a global stable miui 12.
Smae issue with masik, it even shows 3mb data used. Can anyone dig into these roms and see if spyware is installed
The issue might be related to Gausian blur / which is triggering gausian blur .. when you are accessing the control centre
to check : do one thing.. change your notification style to old one and see ..
i once tried IOS control centre, to show blur it used to ask some strange permission, and cast symbol used to activate when ever that blur comes active ..
so i think.. : bringing down control center, might trigger gausian blur, which is related to screen recorder ( somehow) .

Go settings, apps then screen recorder or hold down the icon and tap app info.
You're looking for app behaviour it should be the 4th option down.

Permission denied after I saw strange behaviors.. What will happen if they were autostarted and has the permission. It's a disaster.
I hope it's just a bug
See this Dropbox behavior
Launch by a file.. And I don't even touch the Dropbox apps before
How it could be?
Thanks

You probably opened a file, either way I think it's just paranoia and normal behaviour that would happen on any android version, only difference is that it is logged
Edit: I'm exploring this feature a little bit more, apparently it logs when apps try to autostart and notifies even if they are denied. Looking at your screen you denied autostart permissions for Dropbox for example. Your concern if I understood correctly is that "files" app launched Dropbox, that is because the privacy feature also logs what process launches the app, so for example if you interact with a newly downloaded file and Dropbox is somehow required to view it or sync or whatever the files app is gonna request the Dropbox app to launch. This also explains why disabling autostart for screen recorder doesn't work, that is because it won't start on its own but other apps (system UI) still can, if you are super concerned about privacy regarding the screen recorder you can use ice box to freeze it or uninstall via ADB. However it's probably because it's integrated with the system UI service to some extent and it periodically starts it if it goes out of ram, the privacy log feature records everytime it is launched in memory.
Device: Redmi Note 10 5G
Firmware: MIUI Global v12.5.3(RKSMIXM)
After the update to the latest firmware, I'm noticing that a lot of my notifications aren't playing sound when they should be. They all have sound enabled in their respective app settings, and the issue seems to only happen some of the time. I've found that I can get them working semi-consistently if I go into the app settings, tap the sound (which is already set correctly), choose "Pre-Installed Ringtones" in the Themes app, and then hit Apply next to the sound file I want to use. Notifications received after doing this seem to work correctly (i.e. play sound) for a while, but then they stop a short time later.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the MIUI Themes app itself, as one app on my phone, Signal, doesn't bring up the Themes app when I go to select the notification sound, instead bringing up a ringtone picker app I found on the play store. Honestly, I hate the Themes app's layout anyway, and wish I could use the other app to choose all notification sounds, but that doesn't seem to be an option.
If anyone else has experienced this issue and/or has any suggestions to fix, I'd appreciate it.
i dont have this bug. try reinstall via software update the full firmware, by the function "download latest package". it's safe, no data loss, and this procedure (that i made mee to) speed up the system

I tried this, unfortunately no change. Multiple notifications still come up with just vibration, despite the sound being enabled and selected. If I go back through and re-select the sound, it works for a while, but will randomly stop a short while later
other sounds works?

Yes, all other sounds seem to work. Ringtones for calls, alarms, media sounds seem to have no issues.
I'll give a specific example: I set the notification sound for Google Voice messages yesterday afternoon. It seemed to work for the rest of the day. Today, I see the notification pop up, but never heard the sound. It's very annoying, so unlikely that I missed it. I checked the settings without changing them, everything is still set correctly.
My suspicion at this point, after having done a bunch of research on how the ringtone picker intent is handled, is that the MIUI settings customization is somehow failing. I believe the notification sounds are stored in the Android settings package, but MIUI has taken over those parts, and somehow that is failing, but I'm not able to dig deeper since MIUI seems to be closed source. Granted, I'm not a dev, and know just enough Java to muddle my way through interpreting and understanding code, so my guess could be totally off.
have you tried remove miui battery optimization from the app that have this problem? and set remove all limitation? sometimes cause notifications issues. also try disable mi notifications app, use only android notification

I removed battery opti.ization from all those apps awhile ago.
As for the Mi notifications app, are you referring to this?
the hest thing u can do is a new clean installation but first u can try change some setttings. but i'm not sure, it's only an ideai. example: open WhatsApp info, and in battery option set remove all limitations instead off miui optimizations. if the priblem don't go away, i think that an update caused this bug so downgrade your firmware to the latest bugless is the better solution. but first u can try modify some setting... or remove the update from sone syatem app if it's possible your bug is particular
I faced the same problem. I use tasker and have one profile that changes the ringtone when connected to office WIFI
it works but then it sort of stops all notification sounds.
Earlier I thought this is some phone setting issue but when i disabled the profile from tasker my notifications are intact.
Probably something to do with theme app.
