Hi, I've just installed the new update and the experimental kernel and don't seem to be having any problems so far - sound is okay too.

Can anyone advise on kernels please? On my S3 a tended to run Boeffla-CM kernel as I could adjust power supply/charge settings resulting in more stable battery life - I'd like that again if possible. Tried flashing the old kernel I just mentioned but obviously it didn't work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mistertac:
I'd go with KToonsez or Alucard. Both are great and come with apps that you can do that with. Both have worked great for me on Mahdi.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] GhiGo65:
But... Excuse me... You are talking about build of 30/06?

Or the new one that is out for other device?

Because for JFLTE i can't find new one...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
I guess so.

I couldn't find a new version either, but I'm sure it won't take long untill [MENTION=4593553]Mahdi786[/MENTION] brings the new version to us. :)

Waiting the update....:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Oriann:
Very nice ROM with some minor bugs

So after week....my testing is over for the latest build 06/30 and I can say its very stable but still sometimes I feel strange clutches when I pull down notification bar and the more strange thing is that this is happening only with experimental kernel

otherwise I didnt experienced this

. :good:

Next fail I have found is that when I have installed viper4android then time to time system will kill the whole process and I must reopen the equalizer, its happening almost everytime I wanna listen to music. Kernel used: Experimental(dunno if this is happening with stock kernel)

Now maybe this is just my problem but when I turn off phone and plug him in charger I cannot see the battery level :crying: , the phone is charging but I dont see level bar when I press home button or unlock button(this is forgivable bug cus It doesnt influence phone performance) :p

Many people faced hover notifications glitches, sadly....me too, its just chooping whole notif.bar when it appears. Please fix this its my small wish. :victory:

Then I have another problem...when I have flashed fresh ROM via recovery and set the phone, when I opened some apps(gallery or google camera...of course its maybe GAPPS problem) my whole desktop have restarted, this bug happend to me mostly of the time, but after time the ROM settled and it stops but still sometimes I see it restart again(maybe this is bug of launcher or RAM cleaner).

Next I have experienced that some apps like Smart Remote are lagging when I work with them....I press button and then the app lag for 3 sec and then it work again but its after every press of button, kinda annoying :eek:

Last thing is that damn gallery from GAPPS it loads my albums half an hour(I am exaggerating) its kinda annoying too :confused:

and battery saver its good function but its buggy sometimes when you want to turn on/off data or wifi.

I can say that the ROM is really working perfectly all functions are pretty cool and I like them :good: and all expansed settings that this ROM have. All of two kernels stock and experimental have something special its up to everyone what they will choose. Keep up the good work Mahdi I am ur fan now you made very good rom just get few fixes on this and its best :victory:

Waiting for new updated build, I am excited... :cool:

New Update ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
One of the best places to check for upcoming updates for our device is on G+. Follow our beloved devs there. Cheers [emoji4]

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] VICIOUSVIC1:
But this does not answer question.. When will we be updated..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
The best answer to that question is Patience and to check G+ for updates on Mahdi Roms. I'm sure they are trying their best to get all the kinks out before they publish the rom. We wouldn't want a faulty rom right? So, the best thing to do is be patient my friend. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Hey guys, I got a little caught up getting a working build for the oneplus. Now that's out of the way I'm going to make a build today which I will upload later tonight.

Few things to note, I've fully synced hardware, av and bluetooth projects with cm which was required for the oneplus.

The stock kernel has a problem with reboots which I haven't had time to look into, since I use my own personal kernel this doesn't effect me and I can't bundle my kernel with the ROM because I'm not sure it works with other variants. So the ROM will come with pure stock cm kernel.

The change log is here http://files.mahdi-rom.com/ota/changelogsimple.txt

I've also added an option to disable hw keys, which disables the lights and enables the navbar.

Lastly hover has been removed and heads up has been improved with additions from slim.

Hey man thanks alot, i was thinking about moving from stock Wanamlite ROM and risk moving to a AOSP ROM like this, but everytime i end up with terrible battery life and graphical glitches, limited from moving apps to SD card and many many bugs... How stable is your ROM and how is the battery life?, cheers!

1 more thing, if i flash this ROM do i need to flash GAPPS?, and which one?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] a103:
This is a stable ROM. The battery life is also good, it all depends on how you use your phone. Yes you will need to flash GAAPs. Please read the OP. GAAPs are need for all AOSP ROMs.;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Build is up guys, I'll update the op with link soon

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358561973
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
Hey Mahdi, any chance of your experimental kernel being updated?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Yes I'll upload that in about 20mins
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
Yes! Thank you Mahdi :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Op has been updated with the latest kernel and ROM
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] TLK3:
Which ROMs/kernels have you tried? I'd suggest this one (Madhi), Liquid Smooth, Danvdh's Google Edition (add GravityBox), or BeanStalk. Then flash KT Kernel and test a few profiles. You should have zero problems with excellent battery life. LS and BeanStalk have a TON of features included. Madhi is adding them at a rapid pace and covers most of the important ones. Danvdh's GE is highly customizable using GravityBox (so much so that you would think it's a non-stock ROM). You can't go wrong with any of those options.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] VICIOUSVIC1:
So I installed update 7/13 flash was successful but then went all weird. On Boot animation it began as usual but then Screen went Black and device became unresponsive it eventually open on lock screen. Thought I might have been just a one time thing but after updating SuperSu and rebooting I came across same issue as well as ROM triggered custom counter. Anyone else
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] posydon1:
I too am having that black screen issue
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] VICIOUSVIC1:
Glad to hear I'm not the only one to be experiencing this issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Might be an issue with your variant since your both using the same, anyone else with a different variant having the same problem? Flashing this ROM will not trigger the counter only things flashed in Odin will do that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] twerp71:
Seeing the same thing for S4 I9505. Looks like it's just the display that is affected, and screen is back to normal once booting up is complete.

Using latest rom, alucard and PA gapps
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
Did you guys totally clean and i mean "clean" everything before flashing the new update? I really want to try to help you guys with this blackscreen still being present. Coz i no longer have that problem. Everything booted up perfectly like any new phone should do.

Here is what i did (Just want to try and help you guys): Go to your recovery "Do a FULL WIPE' - System, Data, Cache, Dalvic and "Clean to install a new Rom". Once you have done that Flash the Zips in order - 1. Rom. 2. PA Gapps 3. Kernel. Then reboot. I really hope this helps you guys.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] VICIOUSVIC1:
I always do Wipe Cache,Delvic, System twice and install ROM and Gapps before install only thing I did not do was Factory reset and I have never flash a custom kernal on AMDL baseband. Will try your method

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------

OK so after trying your method I now have triggered custom kernal counter now and unatherized software propmt had to rewipe flashed ROM gapps booted but still no fix. Triangle away unresponsive and had to flashify recovery again. Am I suppose to do factory reset as well?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
I just booted up my AT&T SGH-I337 (I only use this phone when i travel to the states) Anyway, i see the problem of the blackscreen. Did my usual routine of cleaning and flashing and yes i did do a factory reset and all is back to normal. now both of my S4 have the same Rom and all is working well. Rebooted my sgh-I337 3 times just to be sure that the blackscreen doesn't come out again and no blackscreen at all. As for my I9505 No problems at all too from first install of the new rom. It ran smooth.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vakaviti:
Just flashed the latest build on my I9505 and it booted perfectly for me no black screen effect. Clean wiped 3 times then flashed new build with gapps and presto. Build is running perfectly thanks mahdi !!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] GhiGo65:
Just flashed Last Build in secondary rom (echoe on primary) with Experimental kernel and no bug till now...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Cryptostasis:
Quick acces ribbon

Can someone please tell me if this ROM has the "Quick ribbon" setting in the notification bar (like you pull down and you have acces to settings)?

I noticed that most of the ROMS dropped this feature and I really don't like the big quick setting panel.

I want to flash this awesome ROM, but the quick acces ribbon setting is a must for me!

I atached a picture of this setting.

Thanks for the hard work!

[IMG="Quick Acces Ribbon"]http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/cm-power-widet-replacement.jpg[/IMG]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] klausel:
Yes, quick access ribbon in notification drawer is available w/with linked layout.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Thank you for the reply, remember what thread your own, this is Mahdis ROM not davids pure nexus ROM (unless this is a port and no one told me) this ROM gives very, very little information about itself and that drives me... crazy!, but thanks again, im guessing i download the google edition KT kernel then? and ill do what you said, and see how it works out :), wish me luck, flashaholic out!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] bdog2015:
Mahdi is aosp. Flash aosp KT kernel not ge.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Okay thanks, so far so bad, nearly all of the time my launcher freeze, spazes out, or the app drawer button doesn't work... aye brilliant, by the way other then that the ROM is the most convenient, feature packed best AOSP ROM ive ever seen, they need to fix bugs though, ive tried restarting multiple times, every things updated, and im using trubucket launcher, i guess ill have to change... :mad:

Also out of ALL of the features, i cant seem to find the one that turns off the buttons LEDS on the back and menu button.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
For backlight - Go to settings/Customiztion/Navigation/Hardware buttons and you will see Backlight. Click that and disable it ;)

Dude, by the way..Why are you using "MOOSEO7O4" Signature Tag?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Thanks man :), i dunno i thought it was the tag for this ROM, is it not?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
Robert is "MOOSE0704" and he's the Dev on the Mahdi rom Nexus5 thread. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Oh right ill change that then, cheers :), also if you are using the KT Kernel, can you recommend a governor for me plz? preferably close to power saving

---------- Post added at 03:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 AM ----------

Kernel is a go bro, kernel is a go, can you recomend a governmner please? for the KT kernel, one that saves power, but doesn't sacrifice performance as much as powersave
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
Hmm.. Nice tag! :laugh: Anyway, about the KT kernel you might want to ask the good folks here who use KT kernel. I for one only use MAHDI Exp. Kernel (MAHDI STUFF All the way only). Sorry can't really help you on that buddy.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Ah yes I changed that :), okay will do, how is the experimental kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
You also might want to read through KT's thread to find out - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2297379

That's the best way to know things is to read and research my good man. Cheers! ;)

Mahdi's Exp. Kernel is great man. I have no problems at all. Loving it :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Thanks a lot man, this is defiantly the best ROM I've used yet! Let's hope the battery holds up. :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Ah awesome might try it, battery I'd draining like mad on KT kernel and multiple governors, how is the battery on experimental?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
I've only had the rom and kernel installed yesterday morning. Everything has to settle in still, rather than that all looks good in battery wise. Mahdi Rom and Exp. kernel have always worked well for me. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] TLK3:
Power Toggles is awesome. Better than Quick Ribbon IMO.

So after messing with ROM I found the source of my black boot screen issue. It seems to only happen with boot animation on Mahdi paid theme. Was messing in themes went back to stock boot animation and it booted normally. Well that is very disappointing that paid theme causing issues.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Oh right okay, well as expected the battery life is nearly exactly the same as all the other AOSP ROMs ive tried, terrible...

[IMG="ok"]http://s21.postimg.org/vglq7g02v/Screenshot_2014_07_15_05_07_00_1.png[/IMG]

This is with lowest brightness automatic turned off, GSM lowest signal, literally everything turned off except wifi on interactive governor. i will update shortly when the ROM and kernel "stabilises" hopefully.

this was from 100% to 74%, although now im running the KT kernel with ktoonservitive governor it seems to be half as bad, but still alot worse then stock TWZ ROMs such as Wanamlite 2.9 i was on before.

And you would have expected a later version of android, with dark slim, no bloat less more updates less themes would improve battery life?, the struggle continues, boring stock with good battery life, or feature packed irresistible Mahdi ROM, DECISIONS DECISIONS.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Cryptostasis:
Great ROM!

So I just installed Mahdi-ROM on my I9505 and everything is more than perfect.

This ROM IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for me.

It is the highly most customizable ROM I ever had on my S2 or S4.

All the "must have features" that I need are in this ROM: long press back Button to Kill app, profiles (and mostly: profiles on the power button), lockscreen 8 targets, Quick Access Ribbon (thanks for your answers) and something nice that I discovered: unlock slider custom icon handle.

All this features are here in this ROM.

Where were you till now Mahdi? :D

Keep up the good work and thank you again!

One question for the users of this ROM: What is the simplest way to use torch??

On the last ROM I pressed the Home Button on the lockscreen to toggle torch.

Can I do that? If not, what is the simplest way to toggle torch?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] posydon1:
Unfortunately not in this rom, what I did was add the torch widget to the lock screen
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
There is an option in Customization, then lock screen, "slider torch" other then that i cannot find any others.

No prob here using device as remote(Xbox Glass) no issues did u do full wipes before flash or did you dirty flash?

Does anyone have any battery saving tips?, i go from 100% to 70 in half n hour, and like 5% down or so when the phone is idle its driving me mad!, ive currently using the experiment kernel but to no avail, the battery drains like a c***!, i was using ktcoonservite govenrmner on the KT Kernel it was a little better but everything was super undervolted and the battery still drained twice as fast as a touchwiz ROM, im really at my wits ends here...

There must be a solution to this! if anyone has ideas let me know please. :confused:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MJD:
Having the same issues. Switched to the experimental kernel and used the power save profile but it is draining like a *****. Such a shame as I love this rom. Never had this issue with the previous release.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Yeah man im glad i can relate here. its such an amazing ROM too, makes no sense why the battery should be draining, im going to download an app in a min to check for any wakelocks (apps/services that wake the phone up during sleep), and a tough battery monitor, which will monitor all the apps thoroughly.

Check out how bad this is! i just screen shotted these using experimental kernel, max CPU speed 1300mhz,

Its ridiculous! this is from 100% to 30% with medium screen brightness and ""ONLY"" WIFI turned on
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] shadeofgrey:
I used Alucard and didn't touch any of the kernel settings and I was getting around 2% battery drain per hour when idle. It was pretty great.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Whats the battery life in general? and installing the kernel to try out now. tbh clearly the ROM is draining the battery, the kernels are not effecting it as much.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
Dude, its not the rom. You might have a faulty battery or an app that's doin something wrong or human error or something. On the 1st day i got 18 hours on the 2nd day i got close to 18 hours again (from last 2 days with this new update) and that's having full data active. And data eats up more battery life rather than wifi.

Heres one tip - Go to your Wifi settings/Advance and check "Scanning always available" If it's checked.... UN-CHECK it. Hope that helps bud.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tomurbanowicz:
How to turn off "high touch sensitivity"? After uncheck that option and exit with setiitng, the option is checked again.

Anyone else have same issue? Well have to try in the morning gonna have to trade battery in the morning with wife S4 mine almost dead with no way to charge
