Just a small beauty flaw, on my D802 the build version reads "2.5-d801-20140523".

Other than that R2 runs without a problem since yesterday (dirty flashed over R2-Beta2).

Guys, if You have GPS problems, please try to replace Your gps.conf with this one:

http://1drv.ms/1jGZQZ6 (it's OneDrive, don't worry)

BUT! At first edit the file in notepad/wordpad and change Your region and country, my is set to Poland and Europe.

Your GPS should be faster.

REMEMBER, I edited the latest gps.conf from Mahdi, if gps.conf settings will change in next release, just copy Your NTP settings to the new gps.conf

DOWN: [MENTION=693919]glacies[/MENTION] what kind of magic is that what u tell? everything gets wiped after clean flash from stock to Mahdi... I don't believe in it.

1. PROPER baseband (I had 20B stock, then I used AutoRec and flashed Mahdi, i didn't touch anything else than bootloader)

2. PROPER install (rom should be downloaded on stable network etc)

with these i got good GPS from first KK-based betas on my d802, after editing gps.conf a little it's even better.
[G2 Original Android Development] glacies:
I used to not get a lock as well.

What I did was flash stock or a android backup of stock (Cloudyflex 2.2) for me.

Get a solid lock (use GPS app).

Then clean wipe, flash Mahdi.

Dirty flash after that didn't break GPS. It is slower than stock but I get a lock in about 10-20 s.

Hope that helps man!
[G2 Original Android Development] Orvils:
Well I was coming from stock 20D. Took nandroid, an clean flashed Mahdi. I had stable gps luck on stock. Now I restored nandroid nav to stock an gps works there instantly. Any other suggestions?
[G2 Original Android Development] glacies:
I've not tried your gps.conf as I get a good lock now. Is this from CM?

I tried using FasterGPS to edit NTP server to my country (Thailand) before when I didn't get a lock (not coming from stock, say Omni -> Mahdi or PA -> Mahdi). It didn't work.

You have every right to not believe me. I don't understand enough about how android work myself to verify if this is placebo/bull****/magic/really works. BUT! This is the only way I've been able to achieve GPS lock on Mahdi.

If you or [MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION] can elaborate that the method I've followed is voodoo, please do! I would like to understand the process as well.

Cheers mate!

Try the above ^ gps.conf?

This is a very very good rom.

Bug.

wifi and bluetooth do not go together.

when I turn on the bluetooth wifi turned off.

is there any solution?
[G2 Original Android Development] reas0n:
[MENTION=693919]glacies[/MENTION] I tried FasterGPS, it didn't do its work right unluckily. the best solution was to change gps.conf by myself.

Well, i don't believe it, because on my d802 gps always worked, i hadn't done anything like getting lock before flashing and as I said - it just works.

And nope, it's not from CM, it's from latest dr87's Mahdi as I said.
[G2 Original Android Development] chrisexv6:
Battery life is still not as good as r1 for some reason. Even just idle drain is worse too. Had high android is usage overnight which is an issue I haven't seen in months. Not sure what is up.

Vs980 clean flash with 5/17 pa gapps.
[G2 Original Android Development] GizmoKaca:
The great [MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION] has figured out the fix to the issue where the scrolling and pinch zooming is not as smooth as it could be. The fix is to do the following:

There is a line in the build prop that says "ro.input.noresample=1"

Wipe this line out completely, save and reboot.

I confirm that this works perfectly on my d802 and it is now as smooth as my friends Nexus 5 running completely stock AOSP rom. This ROM is now officially perfect to me! :D I Hope this helps anyone else experiencing the issue. All credit goes to dr87 for figuring out this magic fix! :)
[G2 Original Android Development] duck from space:
My humbles observations as of today:

- for those having GPS issue: I went to the stock road, lock, then back to Mahdi. At first results were disapointing, either no lock or instant lock but 50/100 meters off.

Still I persisted with maps, and eventually after a day of test locks in various places, things got better. Fully functionnal now, and any TopNtp gps.conf isn't better than the stock one, at least here in France.

But you must have data or wifi enabled.

Being new to the G2 I was wondering if it's the rom or just the phone that can't works on pure gps ?

- vibration bug is still there and worries me a bit, because sometimes it is permanent until reboot.

- sound levels are definitly not the same for everyone, here on my 802 I won't dare push the earphone over 30/40% or I'll blow my brain out.

- art works and it is awesome

- as a pie addict, I found a bit difficult to adjust to this one (but still it is 100% functionnal). If may, I'd ask for trigger size options, or to set it like the one in carbon rom, wich felt different and more efficient on a quick test.

- I maybe wrong on that, but imo you should never forget to wipe cache and davlik before and

after

flashing a rom (in general), or you may get performances or battery issues.

Speaking of performance I have a recurrent noob question, please don't bash:

noticing some occasionnal stuttering and not so good fps in some 3D games (in davlik and art mode), I ran Antutu and got +/- 28.500 point, (old and fresh install tested). Tried CM an PA and got over 30.000.

What can we conclude of this ? How's gaming working for you ?

I know, benchmarks irrevelant etc... But still, my games sometimes lag.

I have been lurking on this thread for months, and thought it was about time I gave some feedback. First and foremost, [MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION], magnificent work, man. I know what a mess the whole G2 ecosystem is like right now, and you have managed to rise above it all with this ROM. Thank you for all you are doing.

My experience with the last few versions is pretty consistent. Overall, outstanding, but these issues persist on my d800:

-AndroidOS consistently taking the lion's share of battery at around 35-40%. This is with a clean flash, no apps besides Gapps. I have tried Furnace and see the same, so I am attributing this to something in the ROM.

-WiFi does not always automatically reconnect to preferred network on a reboot. I have to manually tell it to connect more often than not.

-Camera switching from front to back camera takes 7 seconds. Don't know if this is ROM or the app itself.

-GPS locks, but it takes a little while

-Random vibration on reboot sometimes that won't stop until I touch the screen.

None of these are showstoppers, and overall, the experience is fantastic. Just wanted to speak up. Thanks again for everything!

Thanks for this Dr87 (and Mahdi). Auto brightness is fixed on this build. That was the only issue I had with R1. This new build is great. I don't see myself going to any other aosp ROM. Great work.

You guys should provide logcats for every bug... I don't know, which variant [MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION] has, but definitely it could help Him.

Can't remove it..it says error in es file explorer and I'm unaviable to save the changes...how did you do it?:confused:
[G2 Original Android Development] TDSJR:
You have to grant ES full root access.
[G2 Original Android Development] iytrix:
Oh I forgot how easy that was!

Let me just hop on to my computer I've only plugged my phone into once.

Let me get ADB set up and installed.

then start a command prompt and CD to the ADB directory after finding where it is.

Then send that over to the good doctor.

Just because YOU know something, doesn't mean everyone else does. Some things may seem like common knowledge to you, but they often aren't. Even if it is, http://xkcd.com/1053/

Seriously we SHOULD be sending logcats but it's not EASY. The closest tool on my phone I found provides ****-all of a log that would be of 0 use, and 99.9% of end users do NOT have ADB set up, do NOT use cmd, and would have NO IDEA how to do what you said. Hell, it makes perfect sense to me and it's still a giant PITA and last resort for me to do it this way.

Honestly that's like somebody with a nice blender plugged in, on your counter and pre-chopped fruit in their fridge "guys it's super easy to just throw together a smoothie" when everyone he is talking to has NO fruit in their house and hasn't used their blender in months and may not even know where it is.

On a side note, can useful, and non-condescending person recommend any useful tools to pull a full logcat to the phone? The one I have from the dev site pulls a logcat that seems to log not much at all that's useful for figuring out why an app wouldn't be working. Even if it's just an easy way to write a script to tap a button and have it save a text file to where you predetermine.

[MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION] while on stock rom I tried your simple kernel. It is awesome, BUT using your Kernel I can't get gps lock. Same as in Mahdi rom. Maybe, as I say, just maybe, gps issues with Mahdi are Kernel related. When I flash dorimanx or stock Kernel while on stock gps works fine. I am sorry fire spelling mistakes coz I am quite drunk right now lol.
[G2 Original Android Development] iytrix:
On my d801 R2 with the Mahdi Kernel I get lock pretty quickly. Another person on a d802 said GPS lock worked for them too. Weird that it seems to only effect certain people even on the same variants.
[G2 Original Android Development] BreakingVZW:
Idk if anyone has noticed this yet but alarm volume is very weak. Even turned up all the way I barely heard it this morning. Sometimes notification sounds are quiet also. Not consistently though. Its weird.
[G2 Original Android Development] Orvils:
Yes that's the thing. I love this rom, but I can't use it because I need stable gps for work. Hopefully it can be fixed
[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
This doesn't make a lot of sense because the GPS is controlled inside the modem and rom, not kernel

Also I really have no idea right now why GPS doesn't work for some users. We are using fully prebuilt GPS from our stock rom.
[G2 Original Android Development] TDSJR:
I don’t know if this is a best practice, but I flash the 4.4 radio after every ROM install, and haven't had any issues with GPS. Locks quickly and re-routes smoothly.
[G2 Original Android Development] duck from space:
As I said (and it doesn't makes a lot of sense from my simple smartphone user experience), it tooks me a day and around 10/20 locks try outs to settle the GPS, wich was terrible on fresh install.

And now it works flawlessly. Providing I enable data or wifi, pure GPS don't work.
[G2 Original Android Development] Orvils:
Well I understand that. That's why I said "maybe" . I just want to iron out this issue. As I said when I take nandroid of stock 20D gps locks in 3 secs.
[G2 Original Android Development] Ascertion:
You can just install a play store app like Catlog and run it, reproduce the bug, go back to app, hit save log, then upload to Dropbox or attachment on XDA. It's actually quite simple this way compared to installing SDK.

Yeah I found catlog earlier today and it's really awesome. Last time I just searched the play store for a logcat app (months ago) I couldn't seem to use it right, or it would always give me way to short of a log. Catlog just seems amazing so far. I only really have one issue, but from looking through the logcat, I can't seem to find anything useful. My issue is minor though and with one app, so I'll keep it to myself until I can troubleshoot some more.
[G2 Original Android Development] GizmoKaca:
Syslog from the Play Store is also supposed to be a really nice and user friendly app for logcats. I hear many people recommending it! :)

Mahdi R3 Beta - Clean flash - Data won't be built the same as last time

Beta R3 Rom

Device Patches *R3* (Make sure its R3, these are NEW)

D800 D801 D802 D803 LS980 VS980

Again, clean flash only.

Mirror

JDI Panels (WHITE LINE FIX): You must flash your kernel from here after everything else (These are NEW as of R3)

Performance wise this is a big update as I fixed a couple major issues and improved some others.

Major issue 1 : Removed a build prop entry PA committed in November that caused very noticeable UI lag. That has been removed and any action that involves holding your finger on the touchscreen should feel a lot more smooth.

Major issue 2: Bug in my kernel that made camera switching / opening / exiting take forever. It also delayed flashing and the torch a ton. This is now fixed.

Other changes:

Improved fstab mounting options for better performance

Many 4.4 ramdisk updates

Sync hotplug and interactive with franco's kernel

The next parts are why this will be released as a beta first and not a release:

Attempt to add working OTG USB Storage

Correctly route HDMI cable

Bluetooth:

Go back to using S4 i9505 driver (We used this in Mahdi before 4.4.2 sources, we need this for the next part)

Attempt a patch to prevent Wifi / Bluetooth lockups and disconnects when they are both on

Update bluetooth configs in device tree

After first boot, make sure to reboot again after you login to your google account. Weird bugs can happen on the first boot after a flash.
