Yea I will try to get the build up a bit later

Found a way around the thermal-engine interfering with camera when its off so hopefully now our cpu and gpu clock freqs will stick this time :good: (and we can test if 345 min freq stops audio issues)
[G2 Original Android Development] kitkatcamusa:
it's possible to add an option to undervolt the GPU? like galaxy nexus,note 2 ecc...

thanks great dev![emoji1]

Sometimes phone doesn't turn on and i have to wait about 30 s./1 min. for fully function ! :/ that's weird !

And sometimes again phone just not turn the screen on but i can feel the touchscreen .

Hope for fix ;)

Thanks for all your work !

I can confirm that (14a), have you dirty flashed 14a? Dr87 told that 14a has to be clean flashed actually, 14a->15 dirty is okay.
[G2 Original Android Development] LOBBS:
1) Buy phone with huge battery

2) Find a dev that knows what he's doing and flash his ROM

3) Leave it alone to do its thing.

I'm not doing anything. The only tweak I'm running is setting the read ahead to 4096. I will be over clocked to 2.5 GHz when it's supported again. I'd love to have Intellidemand or Intelliactive for my governor but that is up to the good Dr. Auto brightness, no Greenify or (similar), or add-on init.d scripts. Full PA 4.4.3 gapps with everything synced.

Kids these days just love to load up every app and tweak trying to fix what's not broken and end up with a system where multiple agents are fighting to control the same process. It just makes a mess of things. I routinely get 6-6.5 hours of screen-on from a charge on a mix of WiFi and data networks.
[G2 Original Android Development] Giacomio:

[G2 Original Android Development] gambit07:
I don't install any third party battery saver etc apps and never have, so I can't speak to that, although I believe you're right third party apps like that probably cause more problems than they solve. I run a few tweaks through the kernel settings such as increased read ahead, slightly lower clock rate, different tcp governor and IO scheduler. Also turn off location settings selectively with tasker and disable wifi scanning. No way I'm getting 6.5 hours though. Maybe 4-4.5 hours screen on. I'm running banks gapps. I guess it could be variant specific, or maybe the different display panels out there draw different amounts of power as well. Interesting, I'll have to do more digging.

[G2 Original Android Development] ooddiittyy:
This is XDA. We try to use data, not truthiness.
[G2 Original Android Development] :
For me all builds, do a couple of good charging runs, and let battery go down from 100% to almost zero. Then you can truly say something about battery life for your phone.

Also check the regular troubleshooting, like wakelocks etc.

I have 8 hours light use and on top of that 4hours and 50 minutes of onscreen time and 40% left. Thats pretty good. Now I would test it further to zero, but no time.

Also use original charger and leave charger in for an hour after hitting 100%, not sure if its needed on Mahdi, but on stock that enabled the magic 100%

Also clean install, no recovering apps or data.
[G2 Original Android Development] chrisexv6:
This.

I too have noticed seemingly worse battery life with 4.4.3, but I havent run the battery down just yet. It looks like it takes a while to go from 100 to 99, then after 99 it starts to use up pretty quickly. I think it might be how the gauge is reporting it, I just need to run it down to 0 and start over.
[G2 Original Android Development] :
Yeah, I also added extra tips to post above.

Also dont go to zero to often, not sure but it might not be good for battery
[G2 Original Android Development] chrisexv6:
Yeah, I had wakelocks initially with gapps, but once those were gone I was still noticing idle drain was much higher in 4.4.3 than previously.

Gone was the flatline, left with a downward slope. The flatline seemed to stay only form 100 to 99, after that it was downward.
[G2 Original Android Development] efstajas:
The first % definitely takes a long time to deplete, but I noticed that forever, even when I was still on LG's stock ROM. I guess it's common? Anyway I don't care much because all that matters is that I'm usually at 60% left after a day of moderate use on this ROM.
[G2 Original Android Development] BoundsChecking:
Is there any way I can DEcrease the volume? Like through the build prop or something? The call volume is so loud.
[G2 Original Android Development] YoungDaddy:
Maybe try flashing the stock Mahdisound mod in op? See if that helps

[G2 Original Android Development] jesssiii:
Now that you mention it, I was using Ondemandplus with Furnace on previous versions (6/3 and prior). But dr87 said it would break some things he fixed in the latest couple builds so I've stayed with his built-in kernel.
[G2 Original Android Development] Lawlrus:
All the times i was on mahdi i used ondemand. Noticeably less batterylife then what vanir is now, but, i wouldn't say it was bad.
[G2 Original Android Development] tnosz:
Just a quick update on my audio distortion....

What I ended up doing is 1.clearing my data cache from spotify app.

2. I backed up Mahdi 6/15 Rom through TWRP.

3. I installed cloudyfa g3 Rom.

4.did a factory reset on TWRP,clear cache dalvik, everything but internal.

5. I restored my Mahdi back up. And now my distortion is gone....oooook?

Also one more thing Dr87

The equalizer tile doesn't display animation when music is playing like it used to. No biggie everything else is stellar!

My battery life is terrible! As soon as I start using the phone, the stinking battery starts draining!! Is this normal? How am I supposed to get 47 days, 98.6% screen on time, while playing games, streaming Pandora, and surfing tapatalk all at once, out of one charge?? This is ridiculous! If this keeps up, I will actually have to..... (Gasp)... Plug it up to the charger?!?!?! You people act like there are these mythical things all over the place that just spit out electricity!?!?! Oh wait......

[MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION], AWESOME ROM!! VS980 here and not one single issue! Except for that pesky battery drain when I use the phone...
[G2 Original Android Development] bodom_hc:
Ima try this. Thanks!
[G2 Original Android Development] Lawlrus:
The beta with dorimanx i flashed did.

Mahdi works better for me though. No redraws and for whatever reason i got a bunch of odd force closes.

Someone was saying the newest nightly has dr87's simple kernel, and they said it worked well as well.
[G2 Original Android Development] :
Thats good its gone. Enjoy, You can dirty flash 0615 over it, maybe tile works again. Also on clean install, test tile, that way you can eliminate possible issues from a nandroid, which can be seemingly random.

My tile works nicely. :)

Chiming in about the battery life - for me battery life was truly better on 4.4.2, especially the 6/03 build, which also doesn't have the audio glitches (although it does have the hissing sound, though it's better than the glitches, imo).

Appreciate your efforts dr87, will probably sponsor a beer for you soon!

I'm on 06/15 build and find battery life pretty normal, not better not worse than previous builds. Just saying.
[G2 Original Android Development] vrda08:
this rom and kernel are amazing.. first got bad battery on 15.6 but battery after first recycle is way better. downclock to 1.7 and still is soo smooth.dalvik.
[G2 Original Android Development] efstajas:
Not noticing any difference in battery life at all in the newer builds. It's still miles better than most other ROMs I've tried anyway.

Am I the only one who's still getting the ol' hissy noisy during audio playback even on 6/15? I feel like it's better but it's definitely there, albeit only noticeable on low volume output. I haven't had any glitches with the screen off except a very brief stutter one time today. Still volume is great, the G2 is sooooo weak on stock and CM based ROMs, it's terrible. This ROM is insanely loud however (even without glitchy addons like V4A) and the quality is great nevertheless.

Another thing I'd like to see... There's an xposed module called "NFCLockScreenEnabler" that enables NFC on the lockscreen and even while the screen is off without wakelocking. I'd LOVE to have the option for that in Mahdi, along being able to activate NFC during flight mode (I believe there's a hidden toggle for that in Android somewhere).

Otherwise, I still only had a single reboot and no UI force close during the last week which is absolutely amazing compared to other custom ROMs. Such a solid ROM, I'll definitely recommend it to my friends.
[G2 Original Android Development] EgonVLC:
I do get some hissing but it's hardly disturbing. I had to lower headphone volume in mixer_paths.xml because it was unbearably loud with my headphones at anything over 60%, and in my experiencie, the louder de volume slider, the lesser the hissing, but definitely, the hissing is there with my Senheisser HD 518. In my experience and with my headphones, the best sounding config is HPLR and HPLL at 20 and Digital Volume at 60, listening with 100% slider volume.
[G2 Original Android Development] :
You can also try the dsp equalizer and lower the right side. I am not sure if hissing is what you observed, but I may be mistaken.
[G2 Original Android Development] EgonVLC:
I tried to use it, but with last version Eq/DSP doesn't affect PowerAMP, which is my player of choice. It works in Apollo though. More than hissing, what I hear is some kind of digital noise in the very low volume level moments of songs, and some "uncleanness" in some frecuency-rich areas of song. I can make the digital noise way louder if I crank up digital gain and lower HPLR/L in mixer_paths.xml. Yesterday I played with several values until I was sort of satisfied with the auido quality, but I coudn't get a sound I be proud of call "HIFI".

Hide Hover Button

First of all thanks for that great rom, i love it.

I just have one question:

Is there a way to hide the hover button from the notification panel?

I like hover, but i think it would be better to just have it in the settings menu.

Over the last few days i kept disabling hover by accident, because my thumb went to the "delete all notifications" - button...

[G2 Original Android Development] MichaelVeringo:
+1. I'm getting the EXACT same battery life as you. I'm trying go figure out what I'm doing wrong.
[G2 Original Android Development] Voje:
I have had, and still have - for a long time - , hissing, whenever I use headphones. Dr meant that it was due to the n5 switch, and that it was a common issue on n5. I have been doing some searching, and to my best knowledge, Dr is confusing it with hissing during video and sound recording - which seems to be a common issue on n5.

I have not been able to solve the issue, but lower it with the cost of lower sound and decreased sound quality.

If you search for "that kit-kat hissing bug", you'll find a thread dedicated to the issue.

There are some clues hanging about, but I haven't had time to properly look into it.

F. Ex the latest update from LG, 20d, has supposedly reduced the issue immensely, but I don't have insight to the update, and what it has changed. If someone with the proper understanding could take a look at it, then they might be able to solve the issue.

But right about now, messing around with mixer_paths.xml seems to be the best we could do.

Sent fra min LG-D802 via Tapatalk
[G2 Original Android Development] :
Yeah Android seems to be having some audio issues. Especially before 4.4.3.

The 20D has a diminished frequency response range. That shouldn't be used a base for a fix, in my opinion.

Dr has been testing every release and only increasing the volumes as long as no distortion took place. So I am not sure the mixerpaths is the place either.

I dont have the hissing, and notice those who use a different app then appolo are experiencing this. Maybe its those apps. I remember several apps used stuff from old roms that Apollo doesnt. If they havent been upgraded for 4.4.3 maybe thats it.

Maybe its the upgrade paths people are following. Not sure. All I know is I got kickass frequency range response and can lower the highs and don't have hiss like 4.4.2 roms, custom and stock. Maybe I have become hissing deaf lol, or just lucky ;) Or its already fixed.

I remember on the Franco kernel thread, the fix for the sound distortion was a higher minimum frequency 345 instead of 300 (has anyone with sound issues on headphones attempted increasing min freq?), I never experienced it on my Nexus 5 or even my G2, but it was a frequent issue for certain people, never had the hissing bug on G2 either or black/white lines really glad I'm lucky :D
