This rom is 4.4.4 all the way through and you'll need to flash KK modem to use it as a cell phone. Official CM11 is still on 4.2.2 and that's why you were able to use it.

Cloudyfa has made it easy for us: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12880

If you lose rotation or autobrightness once flashed Cloudfa's modem then use dr87's modified or "fixed" modems: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2705509 except it's only avail for a few variant of LG G2 (none for VS980 for example)
[G2 Original Android Development] jonatutu:
Thank you appreciate your help :) Will definitely check out this rom

I am using D802 coming from Cm10.2 to stock 4.2.2 to cm11. Realize it has lose some function like pie control.

Can you briefly describe the goodness of the rom please :) ??
[G2 Original Android Development] HueyT:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPRe5nE-TYY is a review for Nexus 5 Mahdi Rom but similar to LG G2 (latest Mahdi even has more features as this review is older).

It's fast, lean (994 MB nandroid after loaded with 130 apps), ART support, no black line worry (PA and Carbon mostly), very stable, runs cool, easy on battery life, has lots of customizations (kinda like CM11 on steroids), etc.
[G2 Original Android Development] jonatutu:
After flashing the KK modem, I can still flash stock firmware and get back the old 4.2.2 baseband and modem right? Just to make sure, I am still very new to all this, sorry about it.
[G2 Original Android Development] HueyT:
You'll need to flash JB modem to use official CM11 or other 4.2.2 based rom again. Flashing stock rom does NOT revert the 4.2.2 modem (unless you use KDZ or TOT to go back to 4.2.2 based stock rom which restore all partitions back to 4.2.2 including the modem). Once you've tasted the stability of 4.4.X, you'll not miss 4.2.2 any more.
[G2 Original Android Development] Z0ld3n:
Ignore this post, Tapatalk acting up. Sry
[G2 Original Android Development] Z0ld3n:
Don't tell him to use modified modems. They are for 4.2 based roms as stated by dr87.

[MENTION=3576946]jonatutu[/MENTION] use stock kitkat modems and if u can't get gps, rotation to work you have to first install stock kitkat based rom and boot it up than you can go back to mahdi.
[G2 Original Android Development] HueyT:
I agree as stock KK modem should do it in most cases; however, on a few variant LG G2, modified modem is needed to fix rotation and/or auto-brightness.
[G2 Original Android Development] jonatutu:
Thanks already downloading the latest mahdi!!!. Ok that should be easy for me haha because I have always been using KDZ method. Already felt the extreme speed and smooth usage from cm11, I just feel awkward without the old functions and the ability to customize.

A little problem I realize, double tap status bar to lock doesnt always work for me as the notification bar will be pull down or activated instead...
[G2 Original Android Development] Z0ld3n:
Yeah but still it's last thing to try :) There is reason dr87 wanted that thread to be closed.
[G2 Original Android Development] HueyT:
I would not KDZ or TOT too often as if there is an error, it could really brick your LG G2 (PC crashing, USB cord kicked out, power outage, surges, etc.). If you flash stock roms like CloudyFa, Optimus, Viper, etc. you'll get all the goodies of stock with much less bloatware. Also you'll get Hotspot workaround and won't lose root or custom recovery.

With that said, once you like KK, you should KDZ to latest KK rom for your phone as it restores all the partitions to KK and not just the modem. This will give you much more compatibility and stability with newer KK roms. JB is old and on the way out. KK roms outnumbers JB roms now.
[G2 Original Android Development] jonatutu:
Ohhh myyy... Got too excited I flashed all the required stuff just not the kk modem...
[G2 Original Android Development] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Clean flashed from running xdabebb's stock-based ROM on my VS980 and I am having a very weird, reproducible bluetooth issue on the 9/20 build.

Once I connect my phone to bluetooth devices, a partial wakelock comes up called BluetoothRemoteDevices (com.android.bluetooth.Bluetooth Share) that persists even after disconnecting my bluetooth devices and toggling bluetooth on/off. The only fix is to reboot every time I am done with using bluetooth.

I have tried this with multiple bluetooth devices and have never had this issue on any other ROM, including previous builds of this ROM from months ago. Does anyone know of a way to fix this and/or can anyone try to replicate this problem?

VS980, 9/20. Why is there such a delay exiting the camera? Also, I want the "mass close" button back for closing apps. I hate closing them one at a time.
[G2 Original Android Development] MasterTB:
Feaure Request:

I've seen a feature in some roms, based off CM that enables ZSL -zero shutter lag- on HDR mode, and it works very well, pictures are captured really fast, almost as fast as in normal mode. Could we have this on Mahdi?

Report:

I'm seeing a lot of System UI in the battery stats (this is not a battery discussion) and it started happening when I enabled the clock in the status bar and the shortcuts in the lockscreen. Could those be related? Before that (I didn't use the clock and I used the 8 targets slider in the lock ring) I never saw system.ui affecting my battery life.

Why is this? It doesn't seem like a very hard setting to cause this...

You can enable the mass button in the recents configuration READING WON'T DO YOU HARM.
[G2 Original Android Development] punyategar:
dr87 doesnt do feature requests. He only ports.
[G2 Original Android Development] Lawlrus:

Here is a image of the error message I get in regard to my camera force closing...This is happening quite often and requires me to restart the phone for it to work again..Anyone have an idea why certain apps such as amazon, snapchat, and google camera are having such sluggish performance as well as force closes/crashes? On G2 D800.
[G2 Original Android Development] jonatutu:
Very nice rom and battery life feels good, Alot of thanks to [MENTION=5803877]HueyT[/MENTION] :)

But there is a little problem, the telephone app doesnt open to the dialing/numpad page.

Have to manually press the center icon and another problem pops up, it just shows a blank page.

I have to exit from telephone and go back to the app again before I can dial in numbers to make a call.

I still cant use status bar to lock... quick settings / notification drawer is always activate instead.

Maybe my finger is too fat??
[G2 Original Android Development] MasterTB:
I don't have that on my phone. Do you use another app that triggers the camera like Smart Stay? I had that problems when I used those kind of apps...
[G2 Original Android Development] jonatutu:
Have been using the rom for a day. And I think I am having some issues with the signal / push notification / modem I dont know which one is it.

Here's the problem, On LTE, I am able to use chrome, refresh facebook news feed, instagram, able to send whatsapp message out sometimes( i assumed as there are ticks, sometimes have to wait quite awhile for it to turn from "clock icon" to a "tick")

But I think there is a delay in receiving whatsapp message and facebook messages from others. Because when I switch to wifi when I have a wifi connection, the phone will notify/ring/vibrate multiple times, alerting I have new whatsapp message/ facebook messages. When I checked its just 1 message and it is almost 1hr ago, this has happen several times in a day.

No... Only snapchat which lags very bad switching between front and rear cameras. As of yesterday after clearing cache and dalvik cache... My youtube app and facebook app seem to take a while to open too. There is a decent pause when I click the app after closing all recent applications

Nvm, flashed w/o any issues.
[G2 Original Android Development] Darkmx2000:
with the most recent update i must say that this ROM is getting better and better on my VS980 :) I was so pissed when i realized that the N5 could not be programmed to work on Verizon and was looking for the closest thing to a N5 on Verizon and i was coming from the M7 which i was running the GPE Rom on but the glaring issue with the Menu button on AOSP roms is what was killing the experience for me, and lot of people in this forum pointed me in the right direction by picking up the G2 on Verizon and installing Mahdi ROM and i have not looked back since :) thanks alot guys and keep up the good work.

Hello guys! I just flashed this ROM - and what a ROM! WOW!

I do, however, have some questions.

SuperSU is teasing me. It's not allowing me to grant access to any apps. After waiting the 3 seconds for the "Grant" option to become clickable, it still wont let me grant Superuser to the app. And it's every app. I tried getting SuperSU from Play Store but it doesn't work at all. Can anybody help?

Also, since I'm a huge fan of Dorimanx kernel, I tried it but various things such as Whatsapp and Viber stopped working properly - is this common?

Thanks in advance.
[G2 Original Android Development] MatheusSanzo:
Yeah... I just deny it, then i go to the superuser menu, click on the app and allow it. I think it's a known problem since a long time.

The camera switching/flipping has been a consistent problem on the latest builds. I noticed it was improved and doesn't happen as often on the 9/8 build, but as a frequent snapchat user, I do still see the problem from time to time. Sometimes I can correct it using the Google camera app by switching back and forth but then sometimes the only way to fix it is a reboot, which is frustrating.

I haven't tried the new build only because I don't want to experience this anymore than necessary, but 9/8 is an option if you want to roll back

For those of you having problems with music stuttering while the screen is off, do you have greenify installed?

I had a stutter problem on Bluetooth earlier today, and realised that greenify was stuck in some sort of loop where it failed to hibernate an app, and was logging hundreds of unsuccessful attempts to hibernate. After I fixed that problem I didn't have any stutter issues
[G2 Original Android Development] MasterTB:
YES! I saw that too.

And another thing that causes problems is the loss of network signal and connectivity. I get stuttering when I'm on the street and the phone looses signal and goes into a NO DATA status (no 3G or anything) and then, when it reacquires signal, stuttering for a second or two.
[G2 Original Android Development] bingbings:
Music stuttering here without greenify installed.

Loss of signal could be an idea but how do you check it with the screen off?? With the screen on and when the signal is lost I don't have though any problem.
[G2 Original Android Development] vPro97:
vBulletin search is down =(

I know some of you guys had issues when switching from Dalvik to ART. Is that issue still persistent with the latest MAHDI build?

For those of you who have tried art - are there any significant benefits to switching right now? I'm not really using Xposed. The first day using the ROM i achieved 4h30min of SOT on dalvik - sure the ROM needs time to settle, but is can it be improved with ART according to your experiences?
[G2 Original Android Development] BossStang:
No issues for me, working great.

I dont think there is any really noticable performance or batterylife gain from using ART with the G2s harware spec..

I used ART on my S3, and on a slower device performancegain is noticable but not significant.

Why do I use ART on the G2?

Why not?
[G2 Original Android Development] MasterTB:
I just did a clean flash of 9/20 just to enable ART. I flashed the rom, patch (D802) and gapps, booted, switched to ART then installed all my apps.

NO ISSUES at all.

I still have to see a performance improvement -the phone is pretty fast already- and battery wise, it's the same for me. Some apps actually do waste more battery on ART (guess they are not all that well optimized, giving that ART is still not released officially).

[MENTION=4687262]bingbings[/MENTION] about music stuttering, of course you are not likely to notice it with the screen on since it's probably on a higher CPU speed but I tell you I have put the phone out of my pocket just to see why it was stuttering and every time I did that, I had no signal, coincidence? I DON'T THINK SO. ... could be wrong though.. but to me, that's all I can see.

One more thing, if you haven't formatted your storage in a while try LagFix (fstrim) Free maybe the stuttering comes from a fragmented storage.....

Is there any way to get a GPS toggle in the quick settings without installing something like GravityBox (don't want to have to deal with conflicting settings)?

The current closest thing in the ROM is a location toggle, which you can long-press to toggle between the location settings, but it also toggles location off entirely rather than just toggling between the different modes (battery saving, accuracy, device)>

Hello all, I'm on the VS980 variant using the 24a modem. I attempted to install the 9/20 build coming from AICP. My problem started in TWRP after wiping everything then installing the ROM, the patch, then the 9/23 PAGApps. I then attempted to reboot system in order to get into the rom but TWRP prompted that I didn't have root anymore and wanted me to install SuperSU, so I did. After rebooting it just jumped into TWRP again and wouldn't go into Mahdi. So now I'm using my 24a Malladus backup and ended up having the same issue after trying to install again. Has anyone had this problem before, or does anyone know how I can overcome this issue?

Is anyone experiencing " unfortunately systemui has stopped".

Problem occurs today after I install xposed with the following modules - greenify( with all experimental option checked) , youtube adaway, bootmanager, unbounce, 3c toolbox, minminguard.

At first I thought it was minminguard fault as the "systemui has stopped" error occur whenever I am using the app.

So I uninstall minminguard and it was working fine. Not long later systemui error starts to occur when I drag down notification to view whatsapp alert( happen twice ) and a few other times I forgot how it happens...

Did a bit of googling, and there were post about xposed not suitable for custom roms. Is it really xposed or its module I installed?

I know that almost nobody cares but why not making the radio work since the g2 has radio.

Dr87 doesn't want to invest the time into it maybe? Maybe the sound drivers maybe it could cause an issue? Maybe he hates the radio? Maybe he refuses to add stuff that the official mahdi doesn't use?
