GPS is always hit or miss. I don't get why it's constantly brought up. [MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION] already mentioned there's really nothing that can be done with it.

[G2 Original Android Development] citytrader:
for me it doesn't change, in stock for example there is NMEA_PROVIDER=1 while in Mahdi is 0 and some little differences.
[G2 Original Android Development] :
which modem are you using, and do changing that nmea_prodider do anything for you?

got logs?
[G2 Original Android Development] citytrader:
nmea do nothing, I tried all possible, there is no error on log too... I have my default KK modem that comes with stock SEA 80220B

the first lock its 2s and the second lock takes at least 4 min.
[G2 Original Android Development] :
last resort, try a different d802 stock modem, mind you backup efs on and off the phone just in case.

perhaps the d80220c Vodafone one.

I would do this, I'm not raising it the config yet because it also causes the call volume to raise and distort when the config is changed
[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
I'm looking at the gps issue right now
[G2 Original Android Development] JRJ442:
I usually raise it a little but didn't this time, I did actually lower the headphone volume some. Was super loud it seemed, even with Viper - Master Gate - Output Gain set to -26. Still was loud. And -40 was too quiet. Of course I'm sure it was Viper making it so loud to begin with.

[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
Are people actually using navigation to determine locks or an app?

With the app I can't ever lock on, when I use maps to navigate I lock on in 15-30 seconds

The app is a really bad judge of GPS locks

Also, don't ever test GPS things indoors
[G2 Original Android Development] simon_lefisch:
Whenever I flash a new ROM (especially coming from stock) I always use GPS test to make sure my device can see satellites (I've had probs flashing ROMs and it doesn't see satellites, so I clean flash again). Once I get a lock in that app, I double check in maps.....after which I have no probs with getting a lock. Since being on Mahdi, I've not once had a prob with GPS.

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

I'm using GPS Stats app to check the lock because if I use Sygic, it wont start the navigation till it locks, for that its important to get the lock,

all the test I did was outdoor will clear sky and excelent signal H+.

Is there any possibility to copy the libraries of KK stock and use them in AOSP, maybe it could solve the issue?...

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

I can not use other modems because the signal reception goes worse, I have to stick to stock :)
[G2 Original Android Development] toebee76:
No GPS? Try this.

This process has never failed me. I had no GPS on this ROM before so I know the struggle.

Download gps status and toolbox from the market.

Run the app and look for satellites. If you see satellites but receive no lock go to step 3. If you see no satellites at all you need to flash a stock based ROM. Download GPS status again. Run it and wait for a lock. Do not use maps or navigation to get a lock. Once locked wipe and install Mahdi clean. No backups. Download GPS status again. You should now see satellites. If you don't get a lock go to step 3.

With the GPS status app reset your gps data. Reboot. Open GPS status again it should download new data when you open it but you can do it manually also. Now wait. Be patient. First lock can take 10 mins. Pretty sure if you can see satellites it's just a matter of time for them to lock. This was the same way on previous phones for me. Once you have a lock close the app and then run it again and wait for a lock. I do it like 5 times. The more it's used the better it gets. After that it should lock in less than 30 seconds.

This gpsfix breaks my gps, so doesnt work

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

No way with my GPS, it doesnt work too, I think the idiots of LG have done different revisions of the chipset, its the only explanation I found why to some works and to other not like me... the LG engineers brain its no superior to a brain of a chicken. :eek:
[G2 Original Android Development] toebee76:
Smartest chickens ever
[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
We already use stock KK GPS. This is why I've been saying there is nothing else I can think of to fix your GPS.
[G2 Original Android Development] LOBBS:
ROM is smooth as they come for me. I've been on Mahdi daily for a few months now. 6-6.5 hours on screen time even over clocked at 2.5 GHz with no Greenify, frozen apps or even the built-in power saver. No GPS or heat issues to speak of. I think I'm finally ready to publish my review of this beast.
[G2 Original Android Development] gypsy214:
Hey guys don't know if this has been issue. I like the rom but the only bug i have is when on a phone call the screen never goes black. I looked in settings since some roms have where you can set the time for it to be black but nowhere to be found. I remember there was a module for xposed that give you all the settings from CM/AOKP/PA etc but forgot the name of it.

[G2 Original Android Development] feedmenomnom19:
Had anyone with ls890 had any issues with camera not showing up ?
[G2 Original Android Development] citytrader:
Gps issue solved!!!!!!

Finally I solved the issue with the GPS :D

I watched the contents of the libgps.utils.so and I saw that there are some lib files related to this one, take this with a grain of salt because I did with trial and error :cyclops:

I'm mostly convinced that there are different hardware revisions depending on the phone versions, in my case SEA, so each one could check to see the difference.

PROCEDURE:

Take your stock kitkat KDZ (in my case 80220B SEA) and extract the system.img and from that img extract from /system/libs this files (each model seems to have some different data even if the size is the same):

libc.so

libcutils.so

libgps.utils.so

liblog.so

libm.so

libstdc++.so

libutils.so

Now take that files and replace the one in the mahdi.zip, after done that do a clean install of the rom and thats it.

I'm having indoor 40 seconds first lock, second lock 2 seconds.

Remember to edit the gps.conf and edit only one ntp server and put the one in your region for faster lock.

I hope this could help dr87 to understand better than me why GPS didn't work for some people like me.

Before this change, outdoor first lock was more than 4 min, indoor was forever... now first lock indoor 40 sec and I tried restarting the phone a couple of times to check this and it works, the change in my case is tremendous!

Now I'm happy because I like this rom :D

In the attachment the libs files from my 80220B SEA rom.

Just 2 notes to dr87:

- Could be possible to fix when charging the phone that the led becomes green at 90-94% instead of 100 and why when I arrive to 94% (I dont remember exactly the number) the charging is going slow...

- Why sometimes when I reboot the phone, it starts to vibrate without stopping, I have to reboot the phone to stop it, it happens random.
[G2 Original Android Development] toebee76:
Led turns green at 90% or higher. I think that is by design. When vibration happens press any button that triggers vibration to stop it. No need for reboot.
[G2 Original Android Development] citytrader:
Weird design, personally I find it useless, I prefer to turn green at 100%... is there any mod that could change that?...
[G2 Original Android Development] toebee76:
I'm assuming it's by design. I could be wrong. I use Tasker to set light blue at 100%
[G2 Original Android Development] simon_lefisch:
Light Flow from the play store. Sets led colors to any notification. That's what I use instead of stock led notification.
[G2 Original Android Development] jlee08517:
Also batteries are never charged at constant rate. Looks constant but normally much faster upto 70-80 percent and the rest is much slower. U can see this much clearly with laptop chargers.
[G2 Original Android Development] citytrader:
I tried to do in tasker but I dont get it, could you help on how to do it?... because I see Notify Led in tasker but if I use State Edit battery the led does not change, I'm doing something wrong in the task part!
[G2 Original Android Development] saywhat4118:
I have looked everywhere in the rom and can't find the setting to turn off those arrows.
[G2 Original Android Development] toebee76:
This is how I do it. You would need to change the charging type. I use wireless.

State: Battery Level [ From:100 To:100 ]

You can't turn them off. Its a feature to move the cursor in a text field. Actually a nice feature to have.
[G2 Original Android Development] pan466:
About that vibrate bug, I have also that bug but you dont need to reboot, just do something that trigger the vibrator like locking and unlocking the screen şf you have vibration on lockscreen turned on off course

cannot switch to ART

i made a clean install, no mod or tweak or Xposed module or framework. just restore my usual apps with TB.

when i want to switch to ART, i can see a warning, i choose YES, the phone reboot almost immediately (the switching process is usually long), ans of course i am still under Dalvik.

i use NOVA too, but previously without PB with ART, so i do not think it comes from that.

i found nothing by searching, many users here are using ART with that ROM... any advice? Thanks !

Can anyone put the latest bulid 603 in dropbox file or something, because i have huge problem with downloading it ( with every mahdi rom, not just the latest). I'd really appreciate if anyone could help me. My download speed should be around 2mb/s instead of this it's 50kb/s-100kb/s :/ :eek:

[G2 Original Android Development] tcg-2:
mostly great

There've been a few instances where the screen didn't turn on when receiving a call, but other than that, it's been solid over about 24 hours.

A question I had was about the volume files. Is it simply that volume 10 has a higher max AND min than volume 5? Or does it only affect the max level?

And people who've tried them, is volume 10 insanely loud?

Lastly, to install, do I simply flash the file (via flashify or twrp) and reboot? I've obviously already installed Mahdi and the gapps.
[G2 Original Android Development] BreakingVZW:
10 is loud. I went down to Mahdi +8 and it's perfect. And yes you just flash via recovery.

---------- Post added at 08:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

If you're doing a clean install And restoring apps via TB it kind of takes that whole clean install out of the picture :P. Reflash and don't restore apps and see if it lets you enable ART. Worked fine for me but I didn't restore apps.
[G2 Original Android Development] JRJ442:
I think it just affects the max volume. And for me +10 is too loud. Its probably my speaker but there's a bit of distortion, almost a rattle. I stick with +5, but thats just personal taste really. Yeah just flash whichever sound zip you want. Maybe download all 3 and start with the lowest to see how it sounds to you.
[G2 Original Android Development] TDSJR:
I use +5, as well. I was getting complaints of in-call echo, when using +8 & +10. Any similar complaints? I think we forget that these things are actually for talking.
[G2 Original Android Development] Gutsyslap1:
No complaints about +8 here on vs980 for echo but I dont use the phone a ton as an actual phone.
[G2 Original Android Development] Berzerker7:
I can confirm this behavior as well. I, too, need to unlock the phone before placing it on the charger. Would be awesome to see this fixed. Amazing ROM otherwise.
[G2 Original Android Development] dandragonrage:
I'm having an issue that I hope someone can help me with. I installed 5-28 the other day and I installed the following things in the exact order I've listed:

-Mahdi 5-28

-Mahdi D801 patch

-D801 20A radio

-the recommended GApps

-PhilZ Touch 6.41.6

Even though I reinstalled the recovery, I'm trying to boot to recovery with power + voldown and it's taking me to "safe mode." I'm not sure why my phone thinks it's Windows but I want nothing to do with this useless mode. How do I get back to recovery?

Thanks.
[G2 Original Android Development] :
boot back into phone, enable developers options via pressing build number in about section in settings. Enable the reboot menu in development settings, press power button and select recovery.

Or use terminal and enter the commands to reboot in recovery.

Or check Philz thread on how to reboot in recovery.

also order seems off.

first recovery, then reboot recovery, then modem, them Mahdi etc
[G2 Original Android Development] TexasRules777:
Why are you flashing the recovery last? That pretty much wipes out everything you did before that.
[G2 Original Android Development] dandragonrage:
I don't see how. Could you explain?

I've had other flashes wipe out my recovery in the past so when I make significant changes to the phone I reflash recovery last to make sure it hasn't been overwritten. I've had instances where I flash some things, it overwrote recovery, I didn't notice and getting back to recovery was a process. Not exactly what I call fun.
[G2 Original Android Development] TexasRules777:
Not really. I've never had a rom wipe my recovery ( I use TWRP). The times I've had to upgrade my recovery and have had a bad download or install I've had to reflash the rom from or use a compatible backup. I'm just asking because i believe 99.9% of users flash a working recovery.. Check to see if it works... Then proceed with flashing.
[G2 Original Android Development] dandragonrage:
I flashed all those things from the same version of PhilZ I reflashed at the end. I simply reflashed it to make sure.

I haven't had that problem happen on this phone, but I had it happen on my previous Samsung Galaxy S2. Especially when upgrading Android versions.

I was on SlimBean that I downloaded back in November until I flashed Mahdi, so it was sort of a significant change. I still need to get GPS working but I haven't spent much time reading about how to do that. It seems odd to me that some people recommend flashing stock KK first to get it working, but if the ROM is overwriting your files anyway, I can't see how that'd work. Unless stock will modify some sort of NVRAM in a way that persists over a flash. I dunno. Still gotta figure that out but at least all the other stuff that'd been broken on my previous ROM seems to work now.

I bought the OG Droid on release day and I have to say Kitkat has been the biggest adjustment for me of all Android versions.

Thanks for the help guys. I was able to enable dev settings and turn on the reboot menu to allow me to reboot into PhilZ as suggested. I didn't need to reflash anything after all. Phew.

[G2 Original Android Development] gypsy214:
Anyone?
[G2 Original Android Development] jomansch:
how could you possibly switch to another recovery then (lets say from phils to twrp, like i recently did...) without maybe damaging your rom? i've changed or updated my recovery then and now and never had an issue (lucky me ?):fingers-crossed:
[G2 Original Android Development] tanoxxx:
D802/ Clean Flash/ No xposed framework

Here what problem/bug i found:

1. Happenss the maximum frequency of CPU is lost and the kernel use all frequency to work, i always use and set Max at 1958, for to have this work correctly again i must to go in "Kernel Settings" and choice again the Mx frequence at 1958 and after it will work normally.

2. Happens the phone dont wake up to deep sleep, i wait some seconds, about 30/60 seconds, and after it wake up, or sometims it reboot alone or i must reboot from myself to have it work again.

3. Happens random the navbar and notification bar disappear for some times and after come back, no visual fc message, after this all continue to work.

4.Happens i got call and the phone dont wake up to deep sleep and continue to work but nothing on display, i cant do nothing, and i cant answer.

5. FC on "Updates" on Phone Info menù.

For the rest the rom is really fantastic, really happy with it, smooth and great battery life! :victory::victory::victory:

i hope can you fix this issue soon, add back volume steps and make possible to use Radio FM :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:
