[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
I've been using hammerhead more and more because its such a nice device and aosp just runs perfectly. I'm going to use my s4 this week because I miss it ☺

I have a question regarding HDR on camera apps. I rarely use the camera app and have never used HDR on any camera app - until today. I tried to take a picture and it came up blank i.e. no image at all. I was wondering if this was an issue with the ROM, the Camera app (the new Google Camera app) or my mobile (S4)?

Anyone know what could be causing this?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
Just tested this with the same result. When I use Google Camera app and activate HDR the picture is blank. But when I use the build in camera app (SlimKat Camera) and activate HDR it works just fine. So I guess the app isn't working correctly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MJD:
Didn't think of testing the built in camera app; but just have done and that works fine as you say. So it is the app. Cheers

Hey mahdi

I have two requests if possible

First is something that was in an old build but seems to have been changed and that is there seems to be a gradient added to the contextual headers.... Where it blends into black, can we remove this?

Second is a feature that is no where but in pac man rom and this is the notification weather panel, I use an alternative at the moment but would much rather have this feature

I look forward to hearing from your response and the next build

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
circles and dizziness

Hi Guys

I haven't been playing with roms for a while ( since my DHD ) and decided to play with my S4 .

6hrs later I am left with a phone with no OS and am stuck

As I understand it , My S4 had to have a custom Recovery and be rooted to allow me to install this Rom.

I chose TeamWin Recovery v2.6.1.0 and managed to install it and tested that it actually boots into it.

I also rooted using CF Auto root and tested it by installing apps that need root .

When following the instructions at the beginning of this thread, the Recovery reported errors

When asking it to reboot it said "No OS present"

I tried to install the rom again and the recovery hung a few times but when it let me in , I tried again

this time it is saying

set-metadata_recursive : some changes failed

E: Errot executing updater binary in zip /external_sd/Mahdi-2.5-jflte-20

Error flashing zip /mahfi -.5-jflte-20140413.zip

updating partition details

then after 20 minutes

E: unable to mount /system

and just sitting there.

Any ideas where I went wrong?

Your help is appreciated

Bhayani
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
Hey there :)

Yes, the steps you took seem to be right. So I guess there could be two reasons why the rom won't flash. I don't have much experience with TWRP, I always used Philz Touch and it never failed me. You could try two different things:

1. Redownload Mahdi rom. Sometimes errors can happen, even when the download seemed to have worked. To double check you could try to unzip the file on your PC. If it works without errors it is a good hint, that flashing the rom should work without issues.

2. Try another recovery. As you might guess, I recommend Philz touch :p You can either download this philz_touch_6.27.2-jflte.zip.md5 file and flash it with odin

or

(probably the easiest way) just download philz_touch_6.27.2-jflte.zip and flash it with your current recovery and reboot your recovery.

I would recommend to combine both options (redownloading Mahdi Rom and flashing Philz Touch recovery).

I hope this helps, if there are anymore questions, just ask :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
Thank you Chelonee!

I tried to change recoveries on the phone and it errored as before so I think the problem was probably there. I used Odin to change recovery and and fresh download of the rom and I have success !

Grateful Bhayani !

Non-intrusive incoming calls

Hi [MENTION=4593553]Mahdi786[/MENTION]

Thanks for a superb rom - all your hard work is much appreciated! Have you had any further thoughts on putting back the non-intrusive dialogue pop-up possibly as an option? Having some sort of popup can be very useful especially when driving where it is more difficult to access the notifications safely.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
That's odd. Are you using latest Mahdi rom? And did the reboots happen before you tested different animations? Which gapps are you using?

I use Mahdi rom with gapps from op. I also use the build in keyboard, but never tried to alter the animations. And the rom is super stable for me.

I guess it would be helpful for Mahdi if you were able to create a bug report when it FCs with the Mahdi user app. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] coki4:
I use mahdi 2.5 and the gapps (micro modular gapps) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

I think 2-3 times
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
Okay, we seem to have the same setup then. And you are on the rom from April 13, right?

It can be many things which cause the reboots. You could try to redownload the rom and dirty flash everything on top of your current setup (your data won't get lost that way). Also, I can really recommend newest Alucard kernel. :)

Other than that I guess only Mahdi could help you with a provided bugreport.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] coki4:

Might be an issue with your partition. Copy the contents of your internal sd somewhere else the format it. Wipe everything and flash the latest Mahdi along with the experimental kernel. Then see how it goes. Do a nandroid backup as well.

Already liking this rom. Thanks to Chelonee and Mahdi!.

So far only had a couple of issues .

Is there anything else I should do to make it a really clean start?

Blank screen and occasional random reboots

I'm also experiencing both the random reboots and the blank frozen screens (forcing me to do a hard reboot). I can't seem to find any patterns to either of these, though on two occasions, the reboots happened as soon as I put the phone into my car dock. Other times it just seems to randomly reboot.

The blank screen also seems to be random, but very frequent. Screen stays blank, but the capacitive buttons come on and it seems as if the underlying phone is working as normal, just not turning the screen on.

I've tried completely clean install, with the modular GApps, but both the above problems are still there. I've also tried both TWRP and Philz Recovery but that didn't help either.

Anyone else experiencing these, or have any workarounds?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Socim:
I also experienced some black screen once a call was hanged up by the other side, I need to press the power button twice to have the screen working again.

Giving this ROM another spin. So far running good with KToonsez. Seems a little choppy though with KToonsified v6 profile which is strange but I'll play around with the kernel and see if I can fix that. Good looking ROM Mahdi!

I had those issues with previous versions of Mahdi Rom, but not with the latest.

I'm using mahdi-2.5-jflte-20140413.zip with mini mondular gapps. After I have everything in the rom configured (center clock etc.), I freeze/delete a couple of system apps:

Apps I usually freeze/delete

- Android live wallpaper

- Apollo (I use Shuttle Music player)

- CM File Manager (I use ES file explorer)

- Face Unlock

- Google now launcher

- Google +

- Hangouts

- Omni Switch

- Street View

And after that, I install xposed with Greenify and restart and flash latest Kernel-Alucard-V2.6.6f For 4.4 AOSP version and I'm done. :)

What helped me when I had reboots with the previous version might sound a bit odd, but seemed to had an effect: I flashed a completly other rom first (Danvdhs GE rom) and rebooted into the rom. After that I went back to recovery, selected the option clean for a new rom in philz and flashed Mahdi rom. As I said, I don't know if that was of any relevance, but it helped me with the previous versions.

Because latest mahdi rom work so well right after a clean flash, I don't do that anymore.

For those of you who experience issues, you could try to follow the steps s3icc0 mentioned in SlimKat thread:

__________________________________________

Yes, you can. :) Flash the jflteeur-aosp-faux123-016m_r2.zip version and it should be fine. If you want to give KT Kernel a try flash KT Kernel AOSP kitkat 4.4 version in recovery.

Could be the undervolting Ktoonsez has in his profile. He undervolts the CPU to -75 and the gpu to -50. You could try his profile again and just reset to stock voltage tables. :)

But comatose is also a good choice. :good:

Kt kernel lets you configure many different settings, but not all of them work for everyone equally good. Every device is a bit different. But i liked to tweak the settings to make them fit for me. :)

Well, this is the main thread for 9505 , but you get more informations from the nexus 5 thread, because most of the Mahdi team members use a nexus 5.

There is also a g+ page, but i don't know how active it is since i don't use g+ .

You can either search this thread for the g+ link or i can post it later. :)

Note: if your dirty flashing make you to reset your lock screen targets otherwise you will get constant SystemUI force close on boot.
