[ROM] [4.4.4] [V500] Mahdi-Rom 2.9 Final

[uzi2]

I saw the detailed changelog, but does someone have an idea if this latest update fixed the sound bug during video or music playback (where it glitches for half a second every so often)? While I love this ROM, that is the only annoying bug I have seen with the ROM. I will probably flash the latest version anyways over the next day or so, and I would love to know if the bug is fixed.

I'm not sure whether it's cured, but it hasn't happened here yet on 0727...

Edit: I spoke to soon - audio glitch is still there.

I thought i was getting paranoid and thought I was the only one.
Glad to see i'm not the only one with this problem, I can confirm it hasn't been fixed in this release.
I'm even not sure it will be fixed, because this is a problem not only seen with this ROM, it was also with CM11, Slimkat and AOKP builds from infected.
Also at infected threaths nobody seem to know where it comes from.

It think it is always there, but only noticable on realtime actions, like watching video on youtube and playing games.
Not sure if it is noticable while listening to music.

I do like this ROM, but I was hoping the Mahdi ROM did not have the same issue as with the CM11 from infected, that was the reason to switch to Mahdi.
Now i'm not sure which is the best...

OK a little update, I have (with a little help from Mahdi) fixed the animation options showing up in the display settings.
As for the cast screen(miracast) bug, which is, there being a delay in the screen cast. I have tested it on my TV and there is a noticeable delay and I was wondering if that there is another ROM other than stock based where screen cast works well. If there is I will see about what the differences are.
I haven't reproduced the sound skip issue some have mentioned, please explain how to reproduce it and I'll gladly take a look at that as well.

Thanks for the update on the Miracast. I had tried CM11 also but miracast didn't work on it. At least in this rom miracast works but with a lag

When the tablet boots the screen is extremely dim until it turns itself off after a minute. If I waken it by tapping the brightness is back to normal. This also seems to happen with the CM11 ROM. Does anyone have any ideas?

It's known, I get it on all ROMs after booting until it's locked and unlocked for the first time. If I remember/understand what Infected (I think) said, it's to do with the 4.4.2 bootloader, and that 4.2 doesn't have it.

New update link in OP, changes are, animation options are showing in display settings, and also new heads up option to appear on bottom.

Anone else having a problem with Superuser on 07/27? The "Allow" button is nonresponsive when some apps (Orbot, LMS) request SU permissions. This seems to be a known problem in the last few days of CM11 nightlies.

So I found this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2811731

I'm going to have to mess around a bit but it might be a simple google services change to fix miracast lag. Not sure haven't tested anything yet.

Just putting this out there for others to see and maybe have input.

Logcat of screencast in progress. I'm bored at work at finally got a chance to look thru a logcat I made while connecting to my TV. I believe it might a simple file needed to be added as seen in this part,

E/HDCP * *( *242): Unable to locate libstagefright_hdcp.so

E/WifiDisplaySource( *242): Failed to set HDCP observer.

E/WifiDisplaySource( *242): Unable to instantiate HDCP component. Not using HDCP after all.

I'll have to test tonight but hopefully its that simple, but it usually never is [emoji3]

Update: well its not as easy as I was hoping. Its not that missing file, but more to do with the OMX video decoder. So definitely going to take some more time to figure out. But the delay isn't with the sound only the video skipping.

I am really interested to know the difference that you have between your versions and Moose's versions. I updated to 29/07 yesterday, and like last week, the Wifi cannot be connected. So I got back to the last version by @Moose0704 the 06/07, and it got connected again. I know maybe my case is unique, and 99% other users are not affected.

From history, I was never able to connect to Wifi with CM11, Slim and all other versions except @Moose0704 Mahdi and Stock Rom. Maybe there's something changed between all other Roms and Moose's ones.

But I'm not an expert to detail what might cause it. I really like Mahdi Rom, and really would like to update my tablet. But for the moment, I will need to stay on 06/07 version. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a weird problem with latest version. If I don't unlock my phone before screen turns off on boot, my screen doesn't respond on touch. If I unlock it as soon as it has started up, I don't have any problems. Anyone else with this problem?

The man difference in the new builds and the old builds is really the device tree and kernel has been updated. Well and besides any code Mahdi has added in. The kernel is updated to slimrom's source which is the same as cyanogenmod's. And the device tree is on my github here https://github.com/one-love-420/android_device_lge_v500/tree/cm-11.0
I'm not 100% sure what would be causing your WiFi problems but without any logs I can't really pin point your specific problems. I don't have any WiFi problems that you're having and it seems many others do not as well. As for the 7/06 build working for you, we'll have to ask @Moose0704 to ask the previous Dev who use to build for the v500 if there is anything he did different.

This problem was on DHO ROM (Commotio/Vanir) on 4.4.2

How did they solve it?

 

[LiamAtkins90]

I don't know if it's been solved to be honest mate.
I actually don't think this problem was even acknowledged lol
But the problem (no touch input on screen sleep after boot) was there early on, as well as the glitchy audio that's been reported by users of all ROMs for this device,

This is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2763153

I went from that 4.4.2 Commotio ROM to stock 4.4.2 then too CM11 4.4.2 then to Mahdi 4.4.2.
I'm now on Mahdi 4.4.4 but haven't upgraded since June I think,
No reason to, works great apart from the glitchy audio lol but it only happens now and again.
As for playing normal Music through Appolo or other music player app,
The Audio is great no glitch what so ever.
Or I can't notice it haha.

EDIT: Audio is still glitchy according to users of Vanir/Commotio.
So I guess the sleep screen touch thing is still there also.

I plan on putting out a test build tonight with some changes to the audio to see if it fixes this bug some have with the audio. I still haven't been able to reproduce it so I'm kind of going blind with a fix.

Ive noticed glitches in audio when watching video but it seems to be when something is happening in the background like a playstore app update.

 

[jamrop]

I have the glitch with audio as well but only when playing games. No gapps installed so not sure that update is the course

I was trying to copy one of my own ogg files to /system/media/audio/notifications to use with gmail but the file never showed up in android sound settings even though the permissions were correct. I then tried to copy the same file into the 07/29 Mahdi zip file but 7zip complained that there were several duplicate filenames in the /system/media/audio subdirectories. I've cleaned out the duplicates, copied my own ogg file to the Mahdi zip file, flashed it and it now shows up in Settings -> Sound but it plays the wrong sound! Any ideas?
