few things ive noticed with 3/26.

1. halo floating notifications is gone

2. kernel tweaker app has replaced settings --> performance tabs

3. settings --> customize has been reorganized.

Is #2 because i had kernel tweaker installed before update? cant say i mind as performance tab is virtually worthless with default kernel anyway.
First.... no need to sum your own findings, read the change log..... http://mahdi-rom.com/ota/changelogsimple.txt

15.03
*Note this is a big update so if you encounter any problems do a clean flash before reporting any bugs


Settings has had a big reshuffle and clean up

wonder why Halo was removed...

Hello Pman,

thanks for your help. My english is not so good, so I don't understand to install Xposed. But I think, it's the same as change the dpi and this dosen't help.I save the app EyeTV Micro app on my HTC One and install it on the G Pad. After open the app, I get an error like "device requirements are are not supported". Is that a driver problem?

I found a bug with pairing bluetooth devices. It seems that every V500 ROM has this bug, because it happened with Dirty Unicorns as well.

Here my the description:
When I have paired my keyboard, it is listed under "paired devices". To connect it again you have to push on the name of the device. But whenever I try this, nothing happens.
On CM11 of my phone this reconnect works flawless.
The only workaround for now is to unpair the device and to pair it again.

I have attached two screenshots for better understanding:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByeqomCJjvnFMFpCV2xxUXJmOFk/edit?usp=sharing

I am on latest Mahdi build (clean flash).

Is CM11 the source of Mahdi ROM, so it would be better to ask there or am I right here?
I haven't updated yet, but I have no problem pairing my Bluetooth keyboard using the previous version of Mahdi.

No problem, have tried to see if it's compatible, doesn't seem to be.
The website states it works with Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, One X (Android 4.1.1 or later), Note, Note II, Note 3, S II, S III, S4, Tab 3 8.0 so might not work with G Pad yet.

Xposed + All apps in playstore doesn't change dpi as such, it makes your phone think it's a Nexus 5 (for example) so most apps are compatible with your device (even if it isn't).

If you do have problems with apps that are not compatible, you can follow these instructions:

1. Settings > Security > Tick "Unknown Sources"
2. Download Xposed and install on your G Pad
3. Open Xposed > Framework > Tap "Install/Update" > Reboot
4. Once rebooted, open Xposed > Download > Search "All apps in Playstore > Download and Install
5. Again on Xposed > Module > Tick "All apps in playstore" to enable the app > Go back to Framework > Reboot
6. Once rebooted, it will work for you!

Once you have Xposed up and running, you will only need to do steps 4-6 for any app you want.

Hello Pman,

with Stock Rom 4.2.2 on the LG G Pad, the EyeTV Micro app from playstore works well and also the DVB-T Micro USB Stick. I can watch TV with the Pad. But after installing Mahdi Rom, I get an error message when open the app "device requirements are are not supported". Other people has the same problem with CM 11 Rom. That why I ask, is that a driver problem.

Thanks for your help.

Also thanks for explain, how I install Xposed. Now the app is compatible, but same error, when open the app.

Does the 3/26 build include all the changes from 3/22 in the changelog? Like slim recents?

Edit: Yes it does.

No worries. Hmm yeh the only issue it can be is driver related if it used to work with stock.
You could try a different kernel. There's the dyn.kernel which has hotplug driver, it might be compatible with DVB.
Otherwise, there maybe someone kind enough to compile a driver for DVB-T to work with the Mahdi kernel.

Everyone enjoying the new build?

Works like a boss. Although just a few issues and suggestions that would make this top notch:

- Enable volume key orientation when changing to landscape
- Noticed that for Pattern Screen lock, the "Show pattern error" doesn't show error when enabled.
- For the recents pannel, possibility to add the Clear all button in the nav bar as an option (or replace the recent button with the clear all button when pressed). It would make the ui look a lot neater.

2315 downloads and only 10 feedbacks? I can't download now because of stricted internet bandwidth. But it's always a pleasure for devs just to hear "working as usual" or "no bugs yet for me" from those who downloaded and installed the Rom.

Screen rotation won't work for me. Did a full wipe before install. Any suggestions?

Other than that, smooth sailing so far. Great work.

Did you check the settings?

Clean install this rom, came from cm11. Awesome work, really great rom. Only one doubt: how I can pass the apps for SD card?
Cheers and thanks!

anyone find immersive mode is stuck on no matter the settings toggle? it was like this with 03/02 for me as well, mar02 being a fresh install. hmmmm... not a huge deal as launcher shadows kind of make a gradient but would be nice to see my black bars on home screen again.
