Set up screenshoot in the options/buttons/power menu/turn off menu ,pow+home is tw rom screenshot...use alucard 1.4m kernel runs great got 5h on screen time as you see in post earlier...

Forget ota you can find the next relwase here ,and i hooe soon if wifi/bt bug gets sorted by cm
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Okay thank you very much :), can I dirty flash updates over this ROM?, and I will try out alacard soon, also do you know what the "chamber of secrets" option does? :)

Also what WiFi issues are there? Mines fine, but I haven't had the chance to test Bluetooth/BT... Oh and do you know how to set wallpaper and home screen wallpaper at the same time?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] KaszasM:
Nope dont but i think i dont use it either ,i didnt find description and if its some boost with the stock kernel i could have interference wuth alucard so i dont use it/but its says animation control/. Home screen u can set from galeria too i think or in your launcher ,i use nova ...alucard in row crashing under antutu test ,and bfq is best for battery i think...wifi connection deops if you turn bt in /as second/thats all...every cm rom has thia bug after the "new"cm, maybe gets fixed now in the nightlies ...no bugs at all except what yiu find in that thread on that few sides...i like it nice rom ,oh yes skype dosnt rings by me but maybe becouase its black made by me... Slimgapps are working too

Dirty flash maybe read op.. But best is go in adv wipe and wipe system/cache/d.cache and flash ...your data stays,but you get a clean system partition

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tkruijer:
There is no rom that I have kept as long as Mahdi Rom. I tried a lot of roms, AOSP and Touchwiz. Eventually I always came back to Mahdi Rom. You've done some amazing work!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] InfiniteImp:
I'm having no luck with this. I downloaded the latest modem for my carrier (Bell mobility, Canada), TLS-I337MVLUFNI2, used Odin 3.10's "CP" to flash it but after reboot I still have the "AMG1" modem that came with Mahdi 2.9.

I even tried double-flashing it but it refuses to flash again after the first time. No matter what, I end up with the same baseband after reboot. Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Are you sire "CP" is the right option? Hmm im not sure, have you tried flashing the "non-hlos" (4g) modem too? :/ ive ran into this issue... Have you tried rebooting into recover and clearing cache and davlik cache? :/ on my device right now so i cant rlly help, give me your details such as the current ROM ur using blah blah, and make sure to double checl everything, and after flashing it before letting the phone boot up turn it off go str8 into recovery and clear cache and davlik cache.

Oh and I used odin 3.09 I believe and I'm pretty sure I clicked PD and made sure NOTHING was highlighted in the left handside check box's, and when I clicked "PD" (I think its that one, it popped up with the locate file menu with "phone.%#&" whatever it was called
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] InfiniteImp:
That's directly opposite of what I read in another thread. They specifically said "don't go into recovery, boot into the phone or you'll lose the modem". In any case, "CP" is what everyone says you should use to flash a modem, so that's what I used. I didn't touch the "non-hlos". I just flashed it now and no difference. Still showing the old baseband.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Haha oh right... Well i added an extra paragraph to my previous comment btw, maybe your right about it loosing your modem, i only flashed the "MODEM" too... I am running the new bootloader though the knox one so that might be why it worked for me, you can risk it if you like but the only option i can recomend is flashing the NON-HLOS since you might have the old bootloader, if not then i dont really know, you can flashing "WanamLite i9505" Stock ROM, its the best stock out (personal preference) there plus it comes with additional files such as modem and bootloader, i flashed his bootloaders using odin and i saw no difference in my device, but did not flash the modems he provides through, you can try going onto wanams ROM, flashing his bootloader THEN flash your new modem and go back to madhi, becuase i only ever flashed "MODEM"s on his rom a stock rom just in case ya know?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] feelpt:
when using odin, you should go into download mode by turning phone off and use the key combination... if you use the boot menu to go into download mode, odin won't work properly... it happened to me and was driving me crazy. it's a known bug

hi guys, one big problem: in this rom, but also in slimkat and carbon (all the aosp roms i tried so far), i can't install some apps (micoach and 119 for example), when i start the installation after some time i get app couldn't be installed. it is not a problem in the apk because the same apk installs fine in stock and in my other phone (mi3) running aosp.. tried both art and dalvik, apps don't even install :( i guess all these roms share the same base code (cm) and the problem is there.. is that a known problem? can i help someway the dev to fix this? maybe a log taken immediately after the apps fail to install? please let me know.. thanks!

But everything else works fine
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
Wifi and bluetooth, GPS all together works fine. Even sending files using BT also works while wifi is on. No drops etc. My best advice is to make a backup of your current working rom then install this rom to try it out. If it does not work for you....you'll at least have a backup of your working rom. :cool:

btw, i don't have any gapps installed, and yes i changed dpi in build.prop

strange thing is, i have same situation in my mi3! (no gapps + changed dpi)

btw will try again with clean install, no dpi changes at all and with and without gapps and will report..thanks again! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] InfiniteImp:
Thanks!! That was the problem. Manually putting the phone into download mode solved it and the modem is now flashed.

Appreciate you posting that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
Guys, One other thing you guys could do is... try an alternative kernel. Best kernel that i can suggest is Alucard. Works wonders together with Mahdi rom. :) For those having these drops with wifi etc.. Try this - Kernel-Alucard-V1.4m For 4.4 AOSP V2 (NEW CM)

it seems installing gapps fixed the problem!! strange but now the apps can get installed after installing gapps!?!? thanks!!

can you please tell me if alucard kernel has dt2w feature?? thanks!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] erghetto:
no, it hasn't this feature.

dt2w of ktkernel works only if you set phone so that it doesn't go in deepsleep.

dt2w can't be reproduced on this phone from what i have understood reading some explanation of some devs
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
EDIT: erghetto beat me to the post lol

hmmm... can't remember if it does. I pretty much leave my kernel settings in stock form( When i was still using it). Even on this new Mahdi build i haven't tinkered with the Stock kernel settings. No need actually. Head on to Alucards thread and try it out. That kernel might help you and your phone :D. Mahdi Rom and Alucards kernel is match made in heaven LOL. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Im using this latest ROM and that kernal, with battery profile and underclocked too 1400 and i still get bad battery drain :( :( :( this the reason why i left this ROM before and any other ASOP it seems nothing beats battery life then a stock ROM arrggg i even baught a new battery and thats not issue, il running greenify and most apps are asleep, got my phone set up for ultimate battery saving but STILL twice as bad as stock wanamlite ROM :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
Oh man :( I'm sorry to hear that. When i was still using a stock TW (rooted) rom, i had the worse battery drain ever. :( I never had any problems ever since i started using Mahdi rom. One thing i miss though..is Mahdi's Experimental kernel. Now that was a kick A$$ combo
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
WTF is this wizardry!! :@ maybe its becuase i have the new knox bootloader? Does anyone have any ideas or tips?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] bajong:
I already tried all the (AOSP/CM) kernel in i9505 forum, Try to open your wifi and transfer at lease 20mb file using BT, you will see
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
Hmmm. I've done the opposite. I was receiving a file a little larger than what you've mentioned on BT & with wifi on. Had no problems. But i'll try sending a file to my wife's phone and see what the outcome is.

Ive received multiple FC's (FC meaning Fatal Crash) with different apps such as "media" "settings" ect. after a day now it has not crashed anything so everything seems to be running pretty smoothly now, give it time to settle in, and dont forget to clear cache and davlik cache in recovery after you installed all your apps (just in case), and fix permissions using ROM manager or whatever app.

Are you experiencing any horrific battery drain? cuz i am and android just love f******* me over!!

I am not looking for the latest build.

I am looking for the last build WITHOUT the WIFI/BT bug.

At some point the bug is introduced in the builds. I am looking for the build before the one that got the bug in it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] InfiniteImp:
What exactly is the nature of this bug? I did a quick search but failed to find reliable details. What happens in your situation? I'm on 2.9 (not the very latest but the one released a couple days ago) and I haven't seen any unusual wifi/bt issues. I WAS getting intermittent BT disconnects when I was on 2.7 which made no sense as I was on that release for months and all of a sudden the BT started to drop out in the middle of calls, disconnect then re-connect, etc. Happened both in the car and at home with the headset. I wiped and flashed 2.9 and it's been fine since but maybe that's not the issue you're referring to.

Btw- Other that 2 or 3 FCs initially when resetting my rom preferences, it's been nice and stable. Battery life is solid (about the same as it was with 2.7). I'll run this a couple of days to make sure it behaves and then flash the latest 2.9 final.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Gerxp:
When WiFi is already on, then switch BT on. Wifi will get stuck when switching WiFi off while BT is connected. Sometimes only reboot helps. This is a known bug in CM.

I am on Kantjer's SlimSaberKat rom, and it is a well known bug in that forum thread. SSK versions prior to 20-8-2014 are clean.

So I am surprised nobody seems to know it here.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] InfiniteImp:
Ok, so that's why I never ran across it. I keep both WiFi and BT on so it's never come up for me. Even with both on I typically put the phone on charge in the evening with about 80% battery life left. Probably because it gets only light use during the day. I'm surprised that given how long the bug has been known that it hasn't been fixed yet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Z-Blade:

Hey guys, loved this so far but I have a problem. Most of the time my mobile network type is unknown and my mobile network state is disconnected. I can make phone calls but I get no data and no network icon on the status bar. I also tried messing with *#*#4636#*#* but didn't help. I usually have my phone on 2G, sometimes if I switch it to 3G, it works for a while (I get data and the icon on the status bar). Running alucard_24's kernel v1.4m with latest GNI2 modem for my country. Already checked the APNs as well. I'm at work, never got any similar problems here before so it's not related to the network itself... Another thing I noticed is that it never works to select a network operator, as I always get an error while searching for networks. Does anyone have a hint?

@ Edit: I tried kernel cleaning, no results. I also tried factory reset. Even straight after clean flashing, while on 2G, mobile network type remains unknown and mobile network state remains disconnected. Switching to 3G (HSPA+) works, eventually. Tried both kernels (stock and alucard_24). Now I just restored my TW v4.4.2 backup and everything works fine. My IMEI and my baseband are both recognized, I can make calls, just no mobile data. Have no idea what to try now. Also restored my GPE v4.4.4 backup and everything works fine.

I'll try when I get home, don't have my cable here. Thanks for the quick feedback. I thought maybe it was some version incompatibility, but my GPE is also v4.4.4 and it works fine with the GNI2 modem. The newer modems are supposed to fix some IR stuff (at least here in Brazil). They're quite bigger, but I'm not sure how different they are. I'll edit this answer in a couple of hours.

> Edit: I tried not only GNG2, but also all the modems released in Brazil for v4.4.2 before GNI2 (FNB2, GNE2 and GNH2). None of them worked. Switched to Nameless and it worked out of the box. Let's see how it goes. Thanks for your suggestion, though.
