Thanks for the quick reply mate- what exactly do you mean by sliding to the other side? If you mean sliding the quicksettings around- yes, that's fine, I noticed that.

I'd prefer a much bigger notification bar pulldown though, if not fullscreen if that's possible somehow.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dsmitty166:
Change your dpi higher. If I remember right, stock is 320, that should get you what you want I think

Team Mahdi-Rom
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Murdock80:
Got it- and I think I know what you meant before. Did not realise that I had 'another pulldown' at the top right.

I set the DPI to 320 now and it increased the total overall display, but I was after a fullscreen overlay- but that doesn't matter, it's looking fine as it is now.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] busterdan:
I've just installed Mahdi, but I'm struggling to find the DPI settings... pulled down quicksettings but nothing is apparently there.... nothing in customisation either?

you need a file browser like solid explorer or something else

go to /SYSTEM/BUILD.PROP

then edit the file BUILD.PROP and change the parameter RO.SF.LCD_DENSITY=240 use 320 and save, reboot
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] busterdan:
Thanks.... :good:

been a few years since I had to go editing the build.prop :D:D
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Murdock80:
You need to open/edit the build.prop file (system directory) in a (root) file manager and look for this entry:

ro.sf.lcd_density=270

Change 270 to 320, save and reboot.

Yep I found that to be the case also.

Can someone confirm, if I turn the volume down to vibrate, it also mutes it for media and vice versa. Aren't they supposed to be independent of each other?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] anarkhy:
they work alone until you choose to silence the device, then all sounds are muted.

go to settings - sound - panel style

and choose expanded, then watch how the slides behave while u press the volume up and down.

Using this ROM for a few days now, and just installed the 02/09 version. I'm very pleased by it! But anyone else having troubles with adding a 'restricted user profile'?

Rom 09/02 does not work with Banks Gapps 07/02 but works with Banks Gapps 03/02. I usually prefer to download Core Banks Gapps which will only be 20 MB than the smallest Micro PA Gapps which is 87 MB. There's one trick though, if the 03/02 version is logged in during first restart, there will be error 403. So don't log in when you first flash the Mahdi Rom. Just let the installation finished, restart your tablet and log in to Google account. Now there will be no more error with Banks Gapps 03/02.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ASW1:
What keyboard does Mahdi ROM come with?

When choosing Gapps, should I choose a package with or without google keyboard?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] katsika:
it comes with the standard android aosp keyboard. If you like the google keyboard then choose a gapps package with it. I d recommend you to install the swiftkey though which is the best android keyboard in my opinion.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] taekobeerda:

The sd card erase option messed my internal storage (sdcard0)

hi guys, i experienced a bug in the rom and i dont know if this is a known issue. I just received my sd card (sandisk ultra 32) and plugged it in my gpad running the 20140203 version of mahdi. It read it immediately and foolish of me i thought it would be better to format it using the gpad. Went to storage - sd card - erase and the tablet was taking a long time. At a point it restarted and it had error message about unreadable card. I was trying to erase it but the tablet was like restarting every time i was trying to erase the sd card. At a point it managed to erase it succesfuly and seemed to work fine as it was recognised at last by the gpad. But i noticed later that it had also erased half of the folders in my internal storage. The apps that had folders in internal storage can not load anymore, other gapps seem to work fine. Also in storage it doesnt appear anymore how much space is occupied by the various file types but it only shows the total and used space.

Should i perform the format data option in twrp or do a full wipe and reinstall the rom? Also should i format the sd card using the twrp or it is fine that i formated it with the mahdi rom?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] alakiha:
Is there anyway that we can adjust the sensitivity of knock on on this rom? in my opinion knock on was way more sensitive and accurate in stock LG rom
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] lomniom:
I think you need to distance the space between two taps on this Rom. Yes on stock you can double tap quickly. Maybe Mahdi will change the values in the future release.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ASW1:
I might have overlooked it, but is there any kind of face detection in Mahdi to keep the screen on?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] l2yangop:
This might be a dumb question but if I root and flash this rom, do I have to flash the dyn kernel seen here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2605646

Or does this "include" the kernel already? If I do have to flash both, what order do I do them in?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] slebit:
This kernel have a kernel included. You don't have to flash dynkernel to make it work.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] l2yangop:
This ROM you mean right?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] slebit:
Hehe, yes I mean ROM. :)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] alakiha:
Well I did try that also, it seems each time works with different pattern!, but that would be great if he can do that or at least add an option to customization menu.

On the other hand knock-on on status bar (to turn off the screen) works perfectly.

Try 3 or 5 quick taps on the screen to wake up. Works for me.

I have a quick question. If my DPI running Mahdi is now currently 320, could I just edit the value in the zip prior to flashing from 270 to 320 or would I again need to adjust it through root explorer with the ROM running?

You don't have to change anything, just flash the new Mahdi and dpi should stay the same.

Awesome build, running great. Anyone know why on stock and on aosp that websites default to mobile and not desktop? This was not the case on my Nexus 7 (running Mahdi and any other aosp). I tried multiple dpi changes, all to no avail. Also, many flash based videos used to play fine through chrome or any other browser on my N7, but not here? Why, and is it related to the mobile pages being defaulted to? Whats different that's making all web pages act differently on this device? Requesting the desktop site doesn't fix the issue either....I'm at a loss here.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] rmont:
IR works in this rom ?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] toyface:
Not sure DPI is the issue here at all, you can change the user agent in the browser, no? Also Chrome has never worked with Flash on Android, it wasn't built to. Requesting in chrome works fine for me

In version 4.4.2 google removed some critical files that the flash player needed in order to play flash content. You ve got to install the hacked version of flash player for kitkat and use the dolphin browser. If you want to always see the desktop version of sites install firefox and a plugin called phony, it works great for me. Take a look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2579795
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] annoyingduck:
That works, but doesn't explain why going to the same site on this device compared to the N7 results in 2 completely different experiences. 1 being mobile vs desktop default and 2 being flash not supported vs flash videos playing without any hacks or apks.

On a side note I tried a user agent app just recommended (i used a different app, but same idea) and it works completely! Setting the user agent to Nexus 7 Defaults Web pages to full, not mobile and flash videos are playing just like they did on my actual N7.... So weird and I want answers!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jchenny:
Just tested and screen cast works, but somehow the sound and audio still plays on the tab instead of the TV, will this be an easy fix to be able to play audio and sound on TV via Miracast?

So I got a new Gpad V500 yesterday and had read nothing but GREAT things about this ROM. so rooted the V500 made a quick backup of stock and flashed the 2/17 version of this ROM. However it has fragmented the play store for me somehow, simple apps and games that should run on any old device (like candy crush or angry birds games for example) say device is not compatible in the play store.

I can side load these apks and install and run them without issue, but why should I have to do that?

Is this a problem anyone else has encountered?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] whoamigriffiths:
Quick update, been benching mahdi and dynkernel v3

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] shadowace:
Sorry I should have been more clear, some Rovio angry birds game do show up. However not many of the newer ones like Angry Birds Space, Star Wars, etc...

Could this be something in the build.prop causing this with this ROM?

Seems like a great ROM otherwise so I hate to flash and redo all my setup just over this issue. I really don't care about candy crush however I don't want to think I am missing apps etc that I should be able to install.

are you playing videos from your computer on the tablet?

you can try plex or something else, i found better to just share the folders of my windows pc, access the files using solid explorer and play movies with mx player.

dont know if those media servers convert the movie or what, but they feel a bit sluggish.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] SnowPluralism:
No mate.

It was playing from the web

And the reason why the videos play better from mxplayer is because you probably are using software decoding and not hardware.

I feel kitkat still doesnt have gpu and hardware accelaration fully tuned up ;)

I retured to stock.

But u could try dyno kernel and see if the prob goes away

For those of you having trouble with the DPI change. I had trouble the first time. I changed the build.prop file to have 320 instead of 270 for dpi cleared cache and data (in that order) and then rebooted. The play store was still not seeing certain games and the amazon store app properly. Then I cleared the play store data and then cache (in opposite order from previously) and rebooted. This seemed to then cause the play store to notice the change.

I have no idea if the order of clearing cache/data matters or if it was simply clearing twice... although this weekend I may try some additional tests unless someone here already knows the answer?

Thanks everyone here, all the info posted helps!
