I can't seem to get GPS to work for the LS980 either. Reverting back to stock Optimus I can get an instant GPS lock. I've even tried getting a lock in Optimus before flashing Mahdi and it's a no go.

Any suggestions?

freezing calendar alert

:confused:

I haven´t read all the posts before but I want to tell you, that I always get weird freezes, when a acoustic calendar alert starts. I only have black screen and blinking notification light. The only chance to bring phone back to life ist making a forced reboot with long pressed Power-button.

I found out, that this permanent issue is only caused in combination with the original lock-screen (swipe gesture). There are no problems with acoustic term-alerts (google planner) when I am using a custom lockscreen (fi:Widget locker)

Mahdi build 3/23 on D802

Can somebody confirm this?
[G2 Original Android Development] 3thman:
I had 2 random reboots today with the latest build :( I think old builds are much better :(
[G2 Original Android Development] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Random reboots are just that: random. No build has more or less than the others.

Random? No such thing. There's just a cause that hasn't been identified.
[G2 Original Android Development] madgalaxy:
Just have to say this a great ROM! Very stable with lots of options. I do not jump from ROM to ROM much and have never seen lockscreen notifications like this ROM. Is this something unique to Madhi ROMs or is it a mod that was added to the ROM?
[G2 Original Android Development] subhani:
That is why I'm still on the February 16 build. I never get sleeps of death. Never. Just a rare reboot once a week.

Troublesome VS980 here.

(tried the latest build for 1day, worst so far, something with wifi ... phone reboots when trying to connect to a weak wifi) I'm back to 03/12build.

Previous 03/12 & 03/01 builds are the perfect (for me), no SODs no reboots no lags (1st time in a long time for kitkat).
[G2 Original Android Development] TDSJR:
In all honesty, I don't think I've had 1 reboot or 1 SOD with any of the builds, going back to 2/1, using stock or dr87 kernel. To me, it's so stable it becomes boring. ;)

I had a corrupted SuperSU download. Now have the latest 1.94 and TWRP 2.7.0.0.which supports OTG USB.

Mardhi ROM now installed and running well. Spirit 2 FM, gps all working well.
[G2 Original Android Development] evenstarr:
I followed instructions, wiped, flashed all went well. I get random reboots. Anyone else getting this. D803 with TWRP 2.6.3.3
[G2 Original Android Development] autom8r:
I've always had to use 2.6.3.4, but before FIRST flash, you need to do an Advanced Wipe, wipe Cache, Dalvik, System & Data. No exceptions.

On each new release of Mahdi, reboot into recovery, wipe Cache, Dalvik, flash, wipe Cache, Dalvik, reboot.

Never have problems this method.
[G2 Original Android Development] 3thman:

I am new to the G2 and this ROM so I am on the latest build. I have had 2 reboots in the last 2 days.

Question is if I go back to a Feb build, what feature will I be losing, if any?
[G2 Original Android Development] j1miroquai:
On the latest build I have reboots almost every day. And all the times are when I listen to radio or music.
[G2 Original Android Development] ark_ermali:
All Aosp based roms have random reboots since there are based on 4.2.2 kernel sources for our device.
[G2 Original Android Development] itworks78:
Is there a new version coming?

Of the kernel? Yes, should be soon, it's being worked on.

[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
Rom has updated drivers, was actually the first to have them

Just check the eq box in DSP manager

This isn't possible, mobile signal has nothing to do with the kernel and we both use stock wifi (And wifi strength isn't effected by the kernel anyway)

[G2 Original Android Development] calbruc:
Is Immersive Mode missing in this latest build? I know before to get in quick tiles you had to first enable it in the power menu, but now I'm not seeing it anywhere.

Also, does anybody have issues with the Wells Fargo app? It's just very stripped down, like basic HTML, doesn't have several features. I know it's not KitKat because it works normally on my Nexus 10 and people don't seem to be complaining in Play Store reviews.
[G2 Original Android Development] Dreadsteel:
Yea it does say that. Cuz art us experimental. I've been using it for a day. No problems yet
[G2 Original Android Development] droidsung:
I am on the 2014 02/16 build. Hardly any issues with this build, no crashes.

After reading many posts on different issues with the 3/23 build, I am contemplating if I should update. Worth it?:confused:
[G2 Original Android Development] JRJ442:
Go for it. The 3/23 build seems pretty good. Slim Recents have been added since, but Halo was removed. So if you're a Halo fan you may need the Xposed module for that temporarily.
[G2 Original Android Development] subhani:
I too am on this same February build. The mist stable I've had and waiting for lots left good feedback before updating to newer version.

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

If you're already on the newest build then I wouldn't go through the whole process of installing an older build. I'd advise you to wait for an update instead if you are facing issues.

---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

Under settings, customisation, lockscreen and then enable 'pocket mode'.

It's not you. This ROM Is smooth as silk and solid as a rock, and I do find ART to be a perfect compliment. When using CM in the past, I had always noticed an ever so slight stutter, so I tried ART and have never looked back. No issues with apps either.

Anyone have any issues with the volume bar not being expanded even after choosing the option?
[G2 Original Android Development] subhani:
I totally agree with you. This ROM is just that good. Just like a nexus. I'm not even using ART. Only problem for using ART is that I can't enable the xposed framework that I love for things like Tinted Status Bar, Gravity Box and Yotube-Adaway.
[G2 Original Android Development] autom8r:
Mahdi is so awesome, it's miles ahead of CM for features.
[G2 Original Android Development] phoenix_rizzen:
Tried ART today. Phone really wasn't happy running it. Puzzle Quest 2 would lock up in the middle of battles, phone locked up twice after unlocking the screen requiring hard resets, and various apps would take 10+ second to switch away from.

Ran great for several days prior under Dalvik, and for the past hour or so since switching back to Dalvik.

Was an interesting interlude. But I'll wait for it to be officially supported by Mahdi and developed a little more by Google. Can definitely see it being a boon in the future.

[G2 Original Android Development] Wintersdark:
No. My d803 has over 100hrs up time, and I manually rebooted the last time due to an angry, crash app causing issues. Since flashing 03/23, I haven't had a single reboot.

I used 2.6.3.4. I don't think that matters, though, and I'd dirty flashed from the previous Mahdi build.
[G2 Original Android Development] hanifh:
strangely and unfortunately short lived pleasure. after a reboot it defaulted back to Dalvik and now even when changing to ART it doesn't reflect after a reboot. could be something to do with the Furnace kernel that I have installed.

Take whatever bootanimation zip you want (our resolution is 1080) and Rename the zip to bootanimation.zip and replace it with the one in system/media + set permissions + reboot. That's it. Or if you want to simplify the process use the app bootbox from the playstore

Soft Brick after Factory Reset - Please Help

So guys, this is what I did:

1. Did full wipe/data/cache on CWM touch recovery

2. Flash MahDi Rom

3. Flash D802 patch

4. Flash GApps stock full 4.4

Then booted up succesfully but found out I have no root

5. So I flashed SuperSu 1.3

Booted up successfully again, but strangely, I couldn't connect to Playstore of even Google+, so I decided to re-setup my device.

6. I did Factory Reset, then the problem started. After I did the Factory Reset, the Android Robot (one with spinning thing in belly) just showing up for 20mins. I thought, it safe to hard reboot since it's only a "Factory Reset" but alas, after I reboot I'm stuck with LG Logo

Then after 20 mins, I'm stuck with the loading 4 circels after Google Logo on Mahdi until forever.

I can still see the Download Mode on my device but I'm not sure if restoring thru kdz is my only option now. Plus, it seems CWM recovery got messed-up, I can't see it in manual recovery mode.

Any ideas what happened and the steps should I take to fix my device? :(

Thank you.

[G2 Original Android Development] GizmoKaca:
If you can't enter recovery manually by following the alternate method here http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/87344/ and it actually factory resets instead of entering recovery mode then you will have to restore through kdz method.
[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
Nothing you flashed here would break your recovery, have you tried to enter it? a lot of people think they can't enter recovery but really they just aren't pressing the buttons properly
[G2 Original Android Development] hanifh:
yes. does that affect it?
[G2 Original Android Development] JRJ442:
Yes. ART automatically kicks back to Dalvik when you're running Xposed. Its a failsafe in Xposed because its not compatible with ART yet. So you were never actually running ART at all.
[G2 Original Android Development] hanifh:
had installed it when installed the kernel.

so its between Xposed and ART. Grrrrr!
[G2 Original Android Development] JRJ442:
For now you have to choose. Rovo said he'll work to make Xposed compatible when ART becomes the only runtime. Since its still experimental he's not gonna spend much time on it now.
[G2 Original Android Development] CrfEpic4g:

To those of you who are getting great battery life, do you have it on auto brightness or do you set it to a manual brightness the whole time?
[G2 Original Android Development] ark_ermali:
I use manual settings, 50 % all the time.If you use wifi all the time and use your phone you can go at 8-8.5 hours of screen time.With 3g at 6-6.5 hours
[G2 Original Android Development] Dreadsteel:
Does the act of adjusting the screen brightness and the ambient light sensor being on all the time use more battery? I'm usually inside so even with the auto brightness on, it doesn't adjust my brightness that high.
[G2 Original Android Development] ark_ermali:
I don't know.Because i use dark theme by default i keep brightness to manual at 50%.You can check what is being synced from your phone as well.Even location uses a lot of juice

No screen brightness was tweaked, no apps turned off, as in all notifications on for everything.

The trick for me was debloating, freezing apps and preventing apps from starting on reboot by modifying system files.

I have 2.5 hours screen time here, but if I use the screen solid, I get 10.5 hours.

I've frozen the following apps, which includes the bloat I referred to:

[G2 Original Android Development] :
its not a bug, its been in android source code since forever. Dr85 made a setting somewhere you can toggle it.
[G2 Original Android Development] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
I think the OP meant that the phone is fully booting to the OS. On every other device, it just charges with a battery icon on the screen without fully booting the OS.
[G2 Original Android Development] hanifh:
Correct.
[G2 Original Android Development] autom8r:
Dr87, and no, there is no setting for this.
[G2 Original Android Development] :
Google source code since forever had the lines if charger connected turn on
[G2 Original Android Development] autom8r:
No. Default behaviour is to leave the phone off if it's off already when the charging cable is connected...

Show us the setting please.
[G2 Original Android Development] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Yes, the device technically turns on, but it doesn't boot the OS. It goes into a charging mode where just the battery is charging with an image on the screen to indicate that. Nexus devices don't even obey the behavior you're talking about (I've had 4 of them).
[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
Yes its a bug, not really sure why it happens I never looked into it, exists in all G2 AOSP / CM roms though

Oh, it doesn't bother me. I was just responding to the guy who thought it was an intentional feature from Google.

Maybe something with the snapdragon sources

http://www.androidenea.com/2009/06/android-boot-process-from-power-on.html?m=1

I always referenced to this line as to why it does so "When power supplies are stable the execution will start with the Boot ROM code."
