MY next post was going to be, "This is all really academic because we should all be doing a full wipe, as instructed".

Now, for my part, Are you implying that I'm "lazy" for THINKING? As opposed to Googling.That I need "someone to talk to" because I'm engaging in an open exchange of ideas pertaining to a specific ROM related issue?

'How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?' Are you familiar with the quote?

And, although, I do not have a PhD. in literature, I am quite certain, I will NEVER read/find the answer on Google as to why, MY device, is not able to use the Stock modem.

I just would like to inform you that beta2 works perfect for me, I came beta1 dirty, I'm the unofficial d805 cloudyfa by kitkat modem, rotation works well, but had a few crashes!

wifi fuinciona perfect, I have no echo calls in beta1 I also could not assisistir HD videos on youtube in beta2 watch videos normally.

'm using beta2 for D202 and last patch v4 ..

thanks for the rom, this is a great job.

my Beta 2 feedback

Hi dr87, awesome work! (I came from CM11 with your modded KK baseband)

My experience on a D802 EUR Open 32GB with Beta 2:

Vibration: Ok

Call: not enough test samples yet, but the few reported echo :(

Bluetooth: Ok - way more stable(!) than on CM11 - I use several Pebbles, so BT is always doing something. ;)

Volume: Ok, able to change volume with EQ enabled and disabled (tested with Google Music)

Rotation: works only with your modified KitKat baseband, stock KK baseband is not working

Data: Ok

MMS: not tested (haven't used it for years)

Runtime: only Dalvik tested so far
[G2 Original Android Development] Lawlrus:
Battery life with this ROM will be amazing as development goes on.

Second beta build and its already looking pretty killer.

Yes lawlrus its an INSANE improvement over stock for me on VS980
[G2 Original Android Development] Raagh:
[MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION] Any disadvantage on using jb baseband? Its the only one for me with rotation. May it give battery drain?

[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
To me there is no difference, I just flashed them both and did some tests, as should be since no changes made that could effect this
[G2 Original Android Development] tnosz:
Ditto for me also on d800!
[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
So far, feedback has been wayyyy inconsistent. People are reporting issues on variants that other people aren't having on the same variant. On my D801 everything works. Rotation with stock KK modem, no echo, cam etc etc. Some other D801's reporting issues I should have if they existed.

I have also seen people report the same thing working and non working on most other variants and at this point I honestly have no idea whats broken besides for sprint camera.

Before anyone reports anything please

1. Wipe everything except internal storage

2. Flash KK modem

3. Flash rom, patch, gapps etc.

4. Reboot into phone. Reboot back into recovery before you even finish setup

5. Repeat once more from step 1.

I can't make any changes at this point with the inconsistent feedback I am getting
[G2 Original Android Development] GizmoKaca:
Thanks [MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION] I will try again with a clean flash and do the exact procedure I did when I clean flashed beta 1 and test again. Will report back later! Once again I can't thank you enough for this amazing work of yours! You have made me happier than I have ever been owning this device! :)
[G2 Original Android Development] goldlocke:
Maybe we should specify what the issue's exact behaviour is.

E.g. on my D802 "echo issue" I mean that I do not experience any call distortion, only that others hear themselves while calling me.

...will test more though...
[G2 Original Android Development] kewkie:
Uhm.. why flash 2 times? Just a question of interest, never heard it :) Just want to know and wanna learn :)
[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
Just need to be sure its really clean, persistent files are being pushed out. I just want to be 100% sure, only reason. I am only recommending it in this case because I have no idea whats actually broken on other variants at this point. Some people have reported here and to me in PM that everything is 100% working on most D80x variants at least, then some people report they have the same weird issues they shouldn't be having.
[G2 Original Android Development] kewkie:
Ah thanks for clarifying :) I thought its something special i missed :)

Will download latest beta and test again and hopefully its a bit smoother, on ver. 04/13 the scrolling was kinda sluggish (no matter where - settings, play store, facebook etc.), maybe its gone? will see later, will give feedback then (will flash with the 100% procedure, just in case)
[G2 Original Android Development] TDSJR:
After following your instructions EXACTLY, Auto-Rotate is not functioning properly.

I'm using TWRP, the radio (as linked, in the original beta post), beta 2 & patch v4, and PA Gapps 4/21 Stock.

On a clean install, using the modded KK radio, I'm getting no echo, all apps working correctly and as a side note, Im using viper4android and the sound is quite good.

As always, Thank you for all of your work.
[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
Thanks for doing all the steps, the issue confuses me because we both have the same variant and because of how the rotation works. Modem communicates with the vendor libs and the kernel which are all based on 4.4.2 now. The 4.2.2 code shouldn't even work anymore and be completely broken (and its closed source so I can't actually edit it) Having to use the modded modem isn't the worst thing because its still 4.4.2 baseband, but why only the old sensors work makes no sense to me :confused: I get no rotation with the modded modem only stock, wondering if there is another variable somewhere
[G2 Original Android Development] TDSJR:
Could it be the actual hardware?
[G2 Original Android Development] dr87:
At this point I have no logical explanation so it could be anything, the vendor files are from the 4.4.2 stock rom so LG wouldn't make sensors that only work on some D801's.

I am going to pull all the vendor files again from a pure stock rom and do a batch md5 checksum to see if anything is different than what we are using.
[G2 Original Android Development] PWn3R:
Dr87, I think a lot of people haven't been pre-wiping before they flash. Others reported issues on the VS980 that I haven't seen with two flashes. I pre wipe everything but the sdcard before I flash anything. Clean slate that way. I will test the wireless charging again tonight and report back. Another vs980 user reported theirs worked but the status bar didn't update til they rebooted. Mine didn't appear to charge and lost 4% on the status bar even though the battery option in settings showed charging when I checked it before going to sleep. The animation for charging wasn't going in the status bar either.

Also, Is it possible the Google restore from setup is breaking rotation for some people with data it may restore for system level apps?
[G2 Original Android Development] TDSJR:
To chime in, I tested the Google restore theory (Clean install ROM & patch only), which prompted the whole "Factory Reset" debate earlier, which resulted in me getting yelled at by [MENTION=2894984]GreenDroid[/MENTION];). It's not that.
[G2 Original Android Development] :
I did a full wipe on 800, using that kitkat modem you posted in that the thread you made, and verison 2 of the patch...(didn't know another one was out) and Its working great for me...I haven't had any SOD's or random reboots and rotation is great.
[G2 Original Android Development] goldlocke:
how do we clean wipe the modem (=baseband) partition with twrp? thx! :)
[G2 Original Android Development] kewkie:
Flashed with Cloudy's modded PhilZ recovery (twice, as you said - no problems)

Booted up fine

Updated google files and rebooted phone

Scrolling is a bit better now, not perfect, but much better :)

Rotation working (Your modded modem)

Camera working - Quality is supersharp :) But using the new google camera anyways

Batterylife and calling - Can't test right now, but when i can, i obviously will and report back :)

From here i can say, that beta 2 is GREATLY improved in performance and smoothing, i hope it will get better to make it perfect

Anything else i can test on my D802? If so, let me know, i'm willing to help you dr87
[G2 Original Android Development] samoz83:
On D802 HK 32GB model - did exactly as you've listed, still no rotation\compass on stock 4.4 baseband. Rotation works fine on modded baseband but still no compass. Sound, scrolling all great, phone can get quite hot though.
[G2 Original Android Development] goldlocke:
I'd like to point out one more positive thing:

USB transfer is way more stable to my Win8.1 desktop than on CM11! :D

~27MB/s for MP4 Videos. nice speed.
[G2 Original Android Development] phoenix_rizzen:
Considering the number of variants with actual different hardware, would it make things easier/more streamlined if there were separate threads for each major variant? Or at least for the release and beta versions?

ls980

vs980

d801/d803

d802/d805/d806

A lot of the issues seem to be "variant group dependent" and this thread is getting very hard to follow to find info on specific variants (ie d803 is lost in the noise from vs980 users).

Plus, we're now over 5000 posts making it next to impossible for someone to read from the beginning. :)

[G2 Original Android Development] JahCartel:
Okay followed your install of beta 2 exactly the way you listed [MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION] however I wiped completely several times prior

Shut my phone down

Reboot into recovery and installed like you mentioned

Same issue persists

Except with the modded KK BASE BAND

STOCK rotation is still broke several apps that use the compass or shake features doesn't work but on modded KK baseband it does.

However my camera issues still persist front facing camera the image is upside down until I take a picture maybe I wasn't clear on what the issue was.
[G2 Original Android Development] nimrodsv:
Went through all steps, even wiped ev

2x every time just to be sure, still:

All works good except:

1. Rotation only works with modded baseband

2. Echo when making regular calls, on the speaker no echo

Maybe you've uploaded the wrong file for the kernel?

[G2 Original Android Development] jlee08517:
I think it should be explicitly said that clean wipe is not the same thing as factory reset. when [MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION] says clean wipe it means on twrp u need to go into advanced wipe and clean system as well. not sure how cwm works tho.
[G2 Original Android Development] Raagh:
Kk baseband didnt work. After flashing jb baseband rotation is indeed working... But in about phone i could be wrong y dont see the baseband changing..

I m saying stupid things? Ajaja

[MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION] could be the difference that you re coming from stock kk with kk baseband and maybe some(like me) are coming from aosp with jb baseband.. And flashing the baseband is not changing every file?

[G2 Original Android Development] Lawlrus:
It should reflect the radio you flashed, not your bootstack.

If its working that's all that matters. Might just be some conflict with the new 4.4 device files.

Just tested a stock ROM in between:

CloudyStock 2.0 with the stock KK baseband...rotation works (which does not in Mahdi beta2) and no echo for call partner (which there is in Mahdi beta2).

Maybe this helps in troubleshooting.

Flashed as instructed on vs980, everything seems good except for rotation. Flashed xdabbebs 24a bootstack and I lost rotation.
[G2 Original Android Development] reas0n:
Meh, I still can't underclock that damn thing :( It goes up to 2265mhz on higher load anyway. I got this problem on Furnace kernel, the solution was to set min freq to 300mhz, but here 300mhz is set as default... And also I can't use only two cores in any way.

Besides that:

-rotation works on default KK modem

-camera,camcorder works

[MENTION=5232783]dr87[/MENTION] please, please, please, make underclock work properly and make possible to activate Eco Mode, i really would like to stay on this ROM, but i'm afraid of the battery life... On Vanir i can get 2days on one cycle with 8h SOT.
[G2 Original Android Development] iytrix:
So my screen of death error seems to be something NO ONE else is getting? After my shower I will try the double clean flash. I posted a picture earlier but I'll make a better follow-up post since I can use my computer and not my tablet to type

A summary. Did a clean flash. Used the kk modem, then rom and v4 patch with gapps and root. Boots fine, but if you turn the screen off then on you get the odd lines in the picture I posted.

On a side note. I left the screen on and played with the rom. Rotation and camera worked, but I did not get to test calls. The rom seemed fine and fast, I just can't turn the screen off and on again. On a reboot it would work fine and let me unlock so I don't think it's due to a lockscreen. I'm running the d801. After 3 clean flashes with the same result I went back to 4-13 which is running just fine.

My bluetooth was still working fine. I applied the Bluetooth-patch anyway ... it is still running fine.

Still having reboots ... (right after a cold-boot) I have to let the phone settle down for a minute or so .. if i immediately

open the quick-panel and click on something --> it appears to hang and then reboots, no biggie for me.

I also applied the dalvik-patch. The phone appears to be smoother, but MahdiROM is very fast on its own already.

They didn't change, I havent heard about a SOD issue from anyone else

BT streaming is messed up unless you apply that patch (all variants) I linked, but I will be rebuilding after I fix up some more audio stuff pretty soon. (I've been working pretty hard on the audio)

I think I know where that audio wakelock is coming from so I will fix that also.

Pure KK modem working fine with rotation here on my d802 16 GB. I came from a clean flash of CloudyFlex 2.0 using Philz recovery with working rotation using Cloudyfa stock kk baseband and clean flashed Mahdi 4.4.2 beta 1.

That's the issue I'm having

I wiped system, data, cache, and dalvik....that seems like too many, everything in TWRP besides internal sotrage basically, then I flash http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2705509

that modem. Then beta 2, then patch v4, then gapps, no root this time. I then, on the setup screen, powered off and repeat. Still have the issue.

It's insanely frustrating because I am hearing NOTHING similar from any of you guys, and on top of that, besides that issue, everything else seems to work great! It's fast, camera works, rotation works.....then I turn off the screen, and when I turn it on, bam.

If it helps any, it starts dark, then over time more white will show on the screen. The last screen when it changes are because I held power and the power menu popped up. When it happened before after setup, I could still with vibration feel the unlock ring working, so it seems it's having issues displaying.....I've never seen this on any ROM before, and like I said before, 4-13 works great for the most part.

So I could be wrong about this, but I think the people with rotation issues need to flash a stock rom after updating to the kitkat baseband. On vs980 people who went straight to the new kitkat baseband to use the unofficial CM had sensor issues until they flashed a stock rom. It seems the stock rom calibrates the sensors after the new radio is flashed
