You are using philz recovery, right? It's a recovery issue, not a rom issue.

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

What is that u are showing me? I'm on Tapatalk, and i'm not sure i am looking in the right place.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sanoc69:
Slimhue theme like TRDS
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MJD:
Ah, right, thanks for that. I'll have a look at using a different recovery then.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
I am still using philz, but an older version of it. If I remember correctly it's 6.07.9 from 31.12.2013
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MJD:
Cheers mate.

I had recently updated Philz recently and the time the backups starting going slow would coincide with that, so the update must have caused the issue..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
I was on latest philz too, and i had the same problem. The restore also took longer. So i switched to an older version that worked fine for me

Is there any way to go back from Alucards? Get stuck on boot animation.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
Go to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache and then dirty flash mahdi rom (and gapps). All your settings will remain intact and you have the stock kernel from mahdi installed :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Socim:
[MENTION=4593553]Mahdi786[/MENTION] is it possible to move dalvik cache to the 2GB cache partition? It is rarely used. :)

Thanks, wipe dalvik cache helps. :victory:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
Glad it worked for you! :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
Hmmm... weird thing. I dirty flashed latest version, and after 1st boot, i've noticed that xposed was gone... it was not installed any more. Anyone else got this? Or is it just me?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
You are right, xposed is gone. :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] neunzehn77:
It's normal! New framework.. So Xposed framework is overwritten.. reinstall Xposed and everything is okay..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MJD:
Went for the older version of Philz like you suggested and the restore took 4 minutes compared to 77 minutes yesterday. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
No problem. Glad that i could help :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gabi11:
What version did you choose?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MJD:

Flashed this ROM yesterday and I'm very happy with the smoothness and the costumization level of it.

The battery life is good and latest KT kernel works like charm alongside with the ROM.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Broli@666:
I tried, but nothing changed...first wifi connect fine, and then suddenly it disappears and the phone connects via mobile data and i have to manually go into the airplane mode and back to reactivate the wifi module.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
Have you tried reinstalling everything? Usually.. well most of the time, reinstalling the rom and gapps and kernel from scratch does well. But that's just me and my procedure if something kinda goes wrong. ;)

There's this wifi trick somewhere here on our S4 forum. You might want to check it out. (Just use our beloved search bar :) ) I used it once for a theme and it helped really well. Hope it helps you.:good:

@ Broli@666, here's the wifi trick: http://d-h.st/fS2

Hope this helps and fixes your problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
Hi everybody, first of all i want to say thanks for this great ROM. It's the best non TW-custom ROM i've tried so far. Great performance, smooth and excellent batterylife.:good:

For the Wifi-trick you've mentioned, i think it works only on the old 4.2.2 knoxfree bootloader. It was created by friedrich420 to make wifi Wirkung on 4.3 without upgrading to the Knox bootloader. I don't remember exactly, but i think, if you flash this on New bootloader, you will loose sound. But maybe i'm wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sonymsam:
Is there a Att version anywhere?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
According to this there is not... :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
Not really.. It worked on mine when i still had 4.3 on. Plus i didn't loose any sound like others have said. But yeah, some had lost their sound like you said and had to revert to reinstalling the whole firmware again.

Hi,

I had a bug, after 68 hours usage, I had no network. The message says something about inserting a valid sim to get the network back. This is a clean install from a full wipe previously. I have come across this earlier once before on a Mahdi rom. the current version im using is Mahdi Rom 02/03, Alucard kernal 29/01. Bug report attached thanks. A restart solves this issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
Hey, [MENTION=4593553]Mahdi786[/MENTION], any news on TRDS? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
this is definitely a good rom, but i cannot copy pictures to internal or sdcard, media process always force closes ._. the reason why i changed rom :|

edit: clearer explanation: i can copy pictures but once the directory is DCIM/Camera, it force closes the process.media and it keeps on repeating everytime. did a clean install.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
Which app are you using to copy the pictures? I just tried it and used ES file explorer to copy pictures from internal (DCIM/Camera) to sdcard (also DCIM/Camera) and it works without issues.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
in MTP mode i mean, in connected to pc. please try, if you dont have issues then its mine only.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
Okay, will test it now and report back :)

Edit:

I'm not sure, if I did it right:

I connected the phone in MTP mode and copied pictures from my computer to internal/DCIM/camera = works

Then I copied pictures from my laptop to sdcard/DCIM/Camera = works

Then I tried to copy pictures from internal to external (both folders are named DCIM/Camera and the device is connected to PC) and still working

What do you do excatly when you get the error? Maybe I can reproduce it, when I follow your steps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
okay thanks :) and btw, does this rom has bugs in camera? in CM11 whenever i take camera pics, it has 70% chance of freezing and rebooting, the reason why i went back to G.E.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
haven't had any FC nor reboots or freezing here while using my cam. Pretty stable i must say pards. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
Np problem, mate. I edited my previous post :)

The camera freezes sometimes, but that has happend to me really rarely. And since I have flashed the newest version of Mahdi Rom i haven't experienced this yet. So I could be completly fixed now. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Socim:
Sometimes the camera app froze a few seconds on latest 0203, but I am not sure if it's a rom issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
i dont know, just flashed the rom (clean way) copied my pictures from desktop to sdcard dcim camera path and after 20 pictures, process.media force closes in my phone and the copying stops. it repeated many times. dunno if i did wrong in settings. :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] bigdam:
I have this Problem too since flashed last update.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
oh i see, i think it's AOSP roms problem? i will flash this again if that will be fixed. i dont want that to happen anymore because it semi-ruined our family bonding last time :( cant take pictures and i didnt know what to tell them :rolleyes: btw, thank you for fast answers :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] override182:
No mentions of the device specific changes in there. We'll wait for the dev himself. What's borked bout the camera BTW? I'm on Snap Camera so I guess I missed any bug on the preloaded one

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
[MENTION=4593553]Mahdi786[/MENTION], I've flashed latest build, and i've discovered a bug. I can't enable location from the tile in quick settings, and neither from the settings menu.

Anyone else is having this? Or is it just me?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
It is working here. Maybe if you try to dirty flash the new version again?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
Ok, i will do that.

Thanks

LE: That did not helped... Will try a clean install.

LE2: Clean flash solved the problem.

Now the only thing missing is TRDS :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
does anyone have a mirror for this ROM - the one in the op seems to be broken ATM
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
Glad, that you could solve it! And yes, TRDS would be really nice :D

I wouldn't mind an option for a see-through lockscreen or the option to change the color of the lockscreen. :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] CallumMarks77:
+1 for this! I use the xposed for it atm
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] CallumMarks77:
Any plans to update the dialer like slimkat had?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] soyusado:
OK, I think after trying the ROM for a few days is time to point out some issues:

1- First, in PlayerPro the Spanish accented letters don't appear, instead of them some asian symbols.

2- When lockscreen notifications are enabled the screen tends to turn on every once in a while.

3- After the phone is rebooted, the on screen buttons appear.

Those are the only things that I should point out.

Cheers and thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
Sorry, just saw your post. There is a mirror site in case the original site is not working: http://mirror.mahdi-rom.com/

2. Lockscreen sometimes turns on, when you have the option "pocket mode" and "show always" enabled. Just disable the last one and it should not happen anymore. :)

3. Do you have gravitybox installed? This bug mostly happens, when this rom is used together with gravitybox. I'm not quite sure how to solve it, but there were other users, who had the same issue and managed to solve it.

It's not much, but I really appreciate your hard work. I'm using Mahdi Rom now since the new year started and it is not even working flawlessly but also has all the customisation options I missed in other roms (and I tested many many different roms).

Big thanks to you and your team! :highfive:

I must say it again, your Rom is the only one which works stable and which is well buildet. I tried cm, nameless and all the others but yours is the the best! Thanx for your work...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Thanks so much, you didn't have to but what you gave is more than enough and i have to thank you for helping people out in here because I don't get much time to pop in here.

No it doesn't theme via theme chooser but you have options to change the style and color.

Thanks man, nice to hear people saying the ROM is stable and I'm glad you guys are enjoying it.

New build should be out in the next coming days, will include open source Google dialer by chenxiaolong and lots more, also added fauxs new Intelliactive governor and his new fast charge implementation for those who are using my kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Azzkiikr:
What kernel should be used for best both battery and stability with this rom? Im new to S4 kernels
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
You are welcome and you really deserve it! :highfive: I don't have any idea how difficult it is to create a custom rom, but I'm sure that you put a lot of effort into it. And the result is really awesome!

I try to help as much as I can, because many nice people on xda helped me before as well. :)

The new version sounds awesome, will happily wait for it. :fingers-crossed:

Hey Azzkiir,

The kernel that comes with the rom is already pretty neat. There aren't that much kernels to choose from. For me the best combination is Ktoonsez great kernel. It seems to work very well in combination with Mahdi rom. You could also try Alucards Kernel, which is pretty smooth and has great battery without having to worry about the settings.

You could also try the new efficient kernel, but my advise would be to try the other ones first.

To flash a kernel, go to recovery and make a backup first.

Than wipe cache and dalvik and flash the choosen kernel (make sure the kernel is made for AOSP 4.4.2),

then just reboot and everything should be working. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Azzkiikr:
Thanks for all the info! Lucky im already on alucards! ;)

For anyone who likes to use SuperSu instead of the integrated Superuser, just flash this zip in recovery after gapps.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
No worries mate. Downloading the rom was possible for me, although it was a bit slow. And I flashed it right away. :o

Just a short question:

does "Lockscreen Notifications: Custom background color [1/2] " mean, that I can change the lockscreen color or just the color of the notifications?

I dirty flashed the Rom and can change the color of the notification background, but not of the lockscreen itself. Just curious if this is working as intended or if I should make a clean install to get the right options. :)

Thanks again for your work! :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
No that's just for notification background, I might add some lock screen style options in the coming builds.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
Okay, good to know. :)

Same here, but I guess that is normal.

Another question, and it might sound a bit stupid, but is it possible, that the non-intrusive call feature is gone? Just tested it by calling myself and playing with the settings, but i can't get the white window (non-intrusive call) to show up. :eek:

Is it gone because of the new dialer? And is there a way to add this manually?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
Yes, i've noticed that too... It's gone on my end too. :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
Okay, at least it is not just me. Thought it might be because I dirty flashed. I hope this feature will come back, it was really cool!

Hoping for that and the see through lockscreen of course :D :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
I've dirty flashed too :D Maybe it's the same problem :p

I am hoping to get it back too :)

I'm on KT kernel since the beginning of using this rom, but i only experienced the freezes two builds ago.

But despite that, i really like this rom, so untill [MENTION=4593553]Mahdi786[/MENTION] will find the source of this problem, i can live with it :)

PS: this freezes happens randomly, and unfortunately I can't provide any log :( Anyway if there's something i can do to help finding the root of this problem, i will be happy to try.
