I'm sorry, but have you ever flashed a custom ROM before? Are the instructions on the first page unclear to you? Here, let me make it a little simpler:

1. Click on the downloads link and download the following files and put them in a folder on your phone: 1) ROM (latest is 4-13-2014); 2) Device Patch Downloads (I assume you have the international version, so get the D802 file); 3) Gapps; 4) SuperSU

2. Reboot into TWRP. Click on Backup, select everything up top, and swipe the slider to backup everything on your phone.

3. Go back to TWRP home screen. Click on Wipe. Wipe everything except Internal Storage.

4. Go back to TWRP home screen and click Install. Go to the folder where you downloaded all the files. In this exact order, select the files: 1) ROM; 2) Device Patch; 3) Gapps; 4) SuperSU. Swipe to install all the files.

5. Wipe Cache/Dalvik after all the files have been installed. Reboot System.

6. Enjoy Mahdi ROM!

If you somehow managed to screw this up, boot back into TWRP (hold down the Power and Volume Down buttons, when you see the LG logo, let go of the buttons and then immediately hold them down again; you'll see a screen popup asking you to factory reset; just hit the power button 3 times until you boot into TWRP), and restore from the backup you made earlier. Then READ READ READ about this whole flashing ROM thing before you screw it up again.
[G2 Original Android Development] liti15:
Are you kidding mate i was asking because i was not sure so i know the steps thanks anyway
[G2 Original Android Development] GizmoKaca:
You need to flash JB baseband or Modified KK Baseband by dr87 to get rotation working with AOSP roms :)
[G2 Original Android Development] kashk5:
I thought that was only needed for the Verizon variant? I didn't flash a baseband with my D800 and my rotation works just fine.
[G2 Original Android Development] Gutsyslap1:
Thats all variants EXCEPT verizon.

Edit: To clarify up until today. I know something leaked for VZW so that may change but that issue wasn't 100% across the board either from my understanding.
[G2 Original Android Development] kashk5:
That's interesting, every post I've read over the last few pages complaining about the rotation issue was from Verizon users, and they were being told to flash the modified Kit Kat baseband to fix the problem.

Maybe the non-Verizon users who were having this problem were coming from the stock LG Kit Kat ROM, and therefore their baseband needed downgrading/modifying? I came from 4.2.2, so I'm still running the JB baseband, which would explain why I didn't have a rotation problem after installing Mahdi ROM.
[G2 Original Android Development] Gutsyslap1:
Dont think its narrowed down that much to be honest. All the complaints that I saw were non VZW devices. If you pull up DR87s KK modem thread at least as of yesterday the VS980 wasn't listed sadly.
[G2 Original Android Development] juanacevedo:
Music

Any Music app i use fails to actually play anything as well as dsp crashes. Is there anything I can do to fix?
[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
if you mess with the vs980 modem at all the signal breaks, so I wasn't able to fix vs980
[G2 Original Android Development] Gutsyslap1:
Never fails with vzw. What does that mean? Rotation issue can't be fixed? SODs will be bad?
[G2 Original Android Development] thackoon:
Man, I owe you big time for this. I lost data again and tried defaulting the APN settings, rather than doing a clean flash or TWRP restore. It fixed the problem within seconds! Thank you!

Now I'm just wondering if I'll lose data again, or if this is a permanent fix...
[G2 Original Android Development] :
It's the source for it not released? I remember you saying something about hex editing it at one point. Perhaps it's got a crc check that needs to be modified if you hack it

It means he can't fix rotation while keeping a signal
[G2 Original Android Development] Gutsyslap1:
Ahhh OK. Makes sense.
[G2 Original Android Development] heffzilla:
Just flash the 12b modem before the rom (if coming from 24a) and rotation will be fine.
[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
Could be a check, either way the new version of mahdi coming soon you can just use normal KK baseband unmodified.

New 4.4.2 build only has one issue I can notice that I've been working to fix and that is the phone has unusable lag for the first 2 minutes of boot due to surfaceflinger being busy with some kind of process that I am trying to figure out, after about 2 minutes it gives up and drops the event in the logcat and the phone will be perfect until you reboot.
[G2 Original Android Development] Gutsyslap1:
Can't wait to give it a shot!
[G2 Original Android Development] :
Wish I had downloaded the source before I deployed... I'd try to give you some help.. do you have the applicable lines from the logcar and the source somewhere?

I downgaded to zva radio then flashed a stock zva rom. Worked ok. I don't see why i couldn't flash mahdi from here. As long as i have a zva compatible kernel. Furnace 2.0 should work.
[G2 Original Android Development] OfficialPerson:
I don't want to go through the whole process of downgrading though I'm trying to confirm whether this rom is compatible with zvc if so would I need to flash furnace?
[G2 Original Android Development] Moose0704:
Agreed! ;)
[G2 Original Android Development] kr0matik:
I think i read you might have audio issues with zvc, but idk. Hmmm, is there a benefit from using the zvc radio? I haven't noticed.
[G2 Original Android Development] Hung0702:
Anyone else having PIE triggering issues? I used PIE extensively for a while when PA 3.x was on my Nexus 4. I'm having trouble reliably triggering PIE. I figure it might have something to do with my dpi (320).

Also, is anyone else using colored navigation buttons? My home button is the Nexus X and it's colorful glory, but it appears black and white this ROM, even with DarkUI disabled. Would like to get my eye candy back.
[G2 Original Android Development] JRJ442:
For the soft keys, go to Customization -> System Bars and more -> Buttons -> Style -> Icon color mode. I think if you select Disabled it will take away the color overlay. As for Pie, I don't use that so maybe someone else knows.
[G2 Original Android Development] Holy-Deamon:
Anyone tried installing xposed modules with this rom? Tried to install blueglass3d battery for status bar http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42148598&postcount=79 and didn't worked!! Any ideas??
[G2 Original Android Development] SynnyG:
Concerning PIE, I have no issue at all. I've changed my DPI to 400 and no issue to trigger it ! May be you can try to change DPI to higher value, I think it can do the trick !

Has anybody else noticed the new Google camera is utilizing 13mp resolution on the G2? Now the bad news, it doesn't appear to have any scene modes or anything.
[G2 Original Android Development] Gutsyslap1:
I noticed the 13mp which is nice. Doesn't do so hot in low light though.
[G2 Original Android Development] TDSJR:
Yeah, underwhelming to say the least. Nothing that makes me wanna switch from Snap Camera.
[G2 Original Android Development] Methroix:
I'm using XPosed for Tinted Statusbar and Statusbar Scroll To Top, and I've yet to run into any issues.

Do you get any errors during the XPosed installation or is it just the module that isn't working?

Also, does anyone have a download link for 4-06?

The one in the OP doesn't work anymore.

I've run into some mobile network problems, beside data not working, and thought I'd try to dirty flash a downgrade.

::UPDATE::

Apparently mobile data now works on 4-13, along with regular mobile functions.

It might have been due to resetting the APN settings, but in that case it took about 12 hours for the settings to register since the problem persisted directly after the reset.
[G2 Original Android Development] profesy:
If you use the pa gapps and not the banks or CM gapps, you will have the 13 MP camera
[G2 Original Android Development] Gutsyslap1:
The big problem a buddy of mine has had was that even on the 12b modem he is having the known rotation problem with his vs980. Cant figure it out.
[G2 Original Android Development] JRJ442:
I saw an apk breakdown somewhere the other day for it. There's strings in the apk now for scenes/filters among other things. So those things will probably be implemented in future updates

Here is the issue if he posts the build: you may understand the bug, hell most of us that have actually read the entire thread would. However, how many people have you seen that would just see the "new download" available, and then blow up this post with "lagggggyyy", " this build initial lag is terrible" etc. Forget that noise. Let the man finish his work.
[G2 Original Android Development] Alex2x3:
WOW

After almost 6 months of not flashing any ROMS, ( a first for me) I finally gave into all the praise for this one and tried it out.

First thing I must say is WOW! This thing is amazing, super quick and snappy, has every setting under the sun, and seems to all work together great. Google's Experience Launcher with the xposed module to make the grids a bit bigger is absolutely beautiful too. Absolutely love the lock screen notifications as well.

So I must thank you Dr87 for this beast!

I have been having some freezes and lock ups though unfortunetly these last two days and was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix these? I'm on the most recent build, 4-13, on D800 ATT, and did a completely fresh flash. Any kernel settings I can try? Or different kernels in general?

Thanks for the help!
[G2 Original Android Development] Gutsyslap1:
Sorry....I had to.

Im a huge fan of dr87s v7 kernal. Its been great for me right out of the box.
[G2 Original Android Development] profesy:
I noticed that if you don't install the framework, you will not have the lag. I tested everything, and without the xposed the rom haven't the lag :good:

And try the stock kernel that have a fantastic battery life
[G2 Original Android Development] Dkrizzle:

[G2 Original Android Development] Gutsyslap1:
Are you talking about the patch? Thats a device specific patch that yes, you have to download and flash WITHOUT booting otherwise you will have issues. Make sure you read the OP closely...
[G2 Original Android Development] Sigur Rós:
Yes, I mean the patch... fix or patch, aren't the same thing?

BTW, why I don't have to boot? I flash the ROM before, then the related fix and finally I can run the system... am I wrong?
[G2 Original Android Development] TDSJR:
The patch has the kernel and device specific drivers and what not.

Sent from my dr87v7 powered, ARTistically Mahdified LG-D801
[G2 Original Android Development] Gutsyslap1:
Not in this scenario. The rom is one file and then device specifics are included within the patch. If you boot up with just flashing the rom and not the patch I had heard there were some issues. so if youre using TWRP I would suggest adding all those zips in order so you dont miss anything to be safe.

He doesn't update the patch for every build. So yes, the 4-06 Patch V2 is fine for the 4-13 ROM. So after you wipe everything except internal storage, flash the ROM, patch, then gapps.

There's still a minor issue with viper4android. It only starts working for speaker after you attach/disattach a headphone. Maybe something for the next build.

Very soon, I'm building all the kernels and fixing all the patches for the new vendor libs, should have the beta up in about an hour

For now patches will use my simple kernel I made for the stock rom (don't flash from that thread directly these use a different ramdisk).

Pure LG kernel freqs are pretty jumpy and before I use a stock kernel I will need to fix up LG's issues, I will also start building my stock rom kernels flashable for aosp for updates... I combined stock rom and aosp into one branch by making a new CONFIG_AOSP define in the kernel so I don't have to maintain 2 separate branches like 4.2 :good:
[G2 Original Android Development] Raagh:
amazing news men i ll be refreshing nonstop for one hour :) hahahaha.

its a good idea to change the kernel to furnace 2.0? or its a waste of your work?... allthough i heard fantastic things about your simple kernel so dont know ahaha...

also amazing job about combining stock and aosp, dont know how you pull it off but great, hope it makes your life a lil easier :)
[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
I know my simple kernel is very stable so if I'm using a custom kernel that's what I will be adding, I've been using it for over a month with 0 issues on stock. I don't want kernel issues being reported as rom issues.

What should I do?

Another Question: Do you will make a simplekernel for Mahdi?

Thank you ;)
