With how modpunk is working, he won't release one himself till he is satisfied his work is "stable enough" if CM12/12.1 are any indication.

But we will probably see a Resurection Remix variant by sunset once he deemed it "stable enough" for his taste and testing. They don't work in the same way, mod seems to want to interact mostly with developpers/advanced testers and such (ie : people able to build from source, get him the info he needs about bugs/problems, and help patch/fix things) before releasing anything flashable, others do the "flashable version for *masses*" before him (last time it was kyasu and sunset, we will see this time).

Just wait it out, it'll come in due time. If you aren't able/motivated enough to build it from source, honestly it's not yet time to start using/testing it. xD

We have stable enough CM12.1 versions (both modpunk's CM12.1 and sunset's port of RR) for now, we can wait. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Beukhof1:
Thanks for your great reply very clear now. What build of cm12 would you recommend I use? And witch one is still updated?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
As far as i know, none are updated anymore.

Sunset made his "final" release of RR for the Alpha, because the official/original RR's next version will be based on Android MM, and modpunks said he would mostly focus on CM13 now, so we won't see much changes unless it's things he has time to work on/are similar.

But both are quite working as "daily driver" for a good chunk of people (it's a little more "tricky" if you depends a lot on bluetooth music/calling in a car or something like that, since there seems to be quite some irks and quirks on that front).

After reverting the latest commit in device tree (TESTING branch), my machine finally created a M build. My device doesn't boot after flashing the ZIP file, it stays at Samsung's bootlogo, so something went wrong...

I can't provide any logs, because ADB doesn't recognize the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
[MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION]

I uploaded the vendor tree used in CM12.1 to my github account (marshmallow branch).

I used device, kernel and hardware sources from cryptomilk to compile the build, and the device does

NOT

boot into system. The setup is done, but it doesn't work in that case.

I think that the kernel tree is responsible for this problem, here's my review:

TESTING: The device stays at Samsung bootlogo, then it reboots into recovery after a while.

TESTING2: The device stays at Samsung bootlogo (forever).

Please have a look at the attached roomservice.xml file for the branches I used to compile my build...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
If you check logcat you can see that the issue is loading the Sensors HAL ...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
Is that true? Did I do something wrong? Which branch should I use to get a working build?

Honestly though, we're working on a better workaround/fix for this, because it's horrible to just skip the permission request..
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Oh, there is a new kernel source tree available for out device.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
I have cm-13.0 nearly working in a state that it works as a daily driver for me. However with the latest CM there are some issues with LD_SHIM_LIBS which prevents camera, renderscript and gpsd to be working.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Beukhof1:
Good work man! Wish I could help you but I can't. Can't wait to test this!!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
I build a ROM with your sources, and most things seem to work fine. I tested the camera, there were no problems in taking photos and videos with stock camera app. The biggest problems are WiFi and MTP (not working).

I fix wifi with this commits (on G850S).

Its temporary. I think Modpunk will fix wifi soon.

(Sry for my bad English)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] omarmonajed:
WiFi and network fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Yes, I use G850FXXU2COK1 modem firmware and I fixed wifi implementing a wifiloader so the kernel module is actived. I have everything working except gpsd.

With the activation of AT_SECURE the LD_SHIM_LIBS variable is not exported by init and the damons are executed in a secure context. The only workaround for now is to run it manually in a bash, then I have GPS working ...

I've also updated the Kernel ...

Once I have a fix for GPS which works for everyone I can do a release but that might not happen this year :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] omarmonajed:
Great! Really excited... :)

However I'm not active here so can you please inform me what is left for a stable or usable rom? Sorry but I'm a noob in these things.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
May i ask how you got that modem ? My alpha is a french one and even reflashing the latest french version of the rom i have G850FXXU1COC1 modem.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Blubberor:
I was wondering if someone could provide me the PIT file for the XXU2COK1 Firmware.

A new display will arrive today, still think my HW problems come from a problem on eMMC or NAND, so with the PIT I would be able to re-partition the eMMC...

I guess should be included in the XXU2COK1 FW file, but will it always(!) do a re-partition by itself?

Modpunk are you going to release a first version of the rom anytime soon...sorry for the eta but sunset released rr 5.6.0 and i want to see which one behaves better.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
If past serve as a reference, modpunk's version will be later on, he had higher "requirements" for releasing roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
Just reporting one man's experience for me this RR which I believe is based on modpunk's cm13 work is already as good as cm12.1 beta8.

Been using it as daily driver for three days now and everything is working just fine, no bugs to report except for the occasional camera app crash. And I've been using voice calls, std and over bt (including carkit), bt media streaming WiFi, LTE, etc.

Good battery autonomy also. I'm happy :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
From the last "batch", we had bonuzz/modpunks working on CM trees/ports, kyasu's derivating from bonuzz tree, then sunset (the RR port maintainer) derivating either from bonuzz or kyasu's (not sure), and in the end we had RR builds for close to 6 months before modpunks was ready to release his build (from memory, that is more than full of holes, he was waiting to have fixed quite some SElinux rules trouble, and some drivers/blob problems, to the point he dubbed it "stabble enough").

I guess it'll be the same this time, except we have only one "tree" of CM to start from for devs/maintainers/powerusers, to start from (and maybe a custom kernel maker on the way if the one working on TW kernel make it CM compatible).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] omarmonajed:
Any news concerning modpunk's cm13 rom??
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] leripe:
It's ready when it's ready. He is probably fixing selinux before releasing.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
The problem is that binary blobs need modifications so that they are working correctly. However the way how to fix that has been disabled for security reasons in bionic. gpsd is not working correctly.

For the rest I got most of the stuff working and run cm-13.0 as a daily driver now. I need to fix the remaining issues, like MTP data transfer and VoIP calls.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] aerdna:
When released this ROM ? Sorry for my English.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] omarmonajed:
Modpunk we are waiting...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] GreySephiroth:
Guys, the ROM will be released when it will be released, it is up to modpunk when he will consider it is worthy of a beta to be used as a daily driver. He is not in any way obligated to indulge you, he is doing this in his own free time, and he is not being payd for this. This is his way of giving to the community. So please be patient and let the man do his work whenever he can and feels like it
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ArisRafaelli:
Is there any chance that samsung will release the source for the fingerprint sensor, or can we get one directly from synaptics? because it would be awesome to have the fingerprint sensor on CM
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] omarmonajed:
I'm sorry for bothering but I'm really excited about that. Modpunk is great at this!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
You shouldn't push the dev to release the ROM. In this way, you don't show respect for the hard work modpunk has done to bring up CM for the Galaxy Alpha. ETA requests don't help us. Please note that the devs also have a real life, so just be patient.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
Date for it is simple : WHEN IT'S DONE/STABLE ENOUGH !!!! PERIOD !!!

Stop asking for it. There is a LOT of work to be done and (pretty) complex one, than only modpunk is able and willing to do for our Alphas for now, so just wait. Pestering him with stupid questions and ETA dates is just one way of making him say "**** it" and stop working for public forums/people so stop it (on top of that it's totally against the forum rules you are supposed to have read and accepted and follow....).

Dev is at a stage where ETA's and release Dates won't happen, since it would requires to know how long things will take to be fixed.... when he (and others) are trying to find ways to circumvent problems pretty much blindly.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
No, Signal. Telegram is by default not end-to-end encrypted and stores all messages on their servers. Their secure messe mode uses a really strange crypto system which no sane cryptographer would implement.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] omarmonajed:
Okay I'll install it, but its hard to communicate using these apps for they aren't popular and roughly no one uses them.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Well, invite your friends to Signal and explain them why Signal is better. Secure end-to-end encryption ...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
I think you aren't the only one with that problem on CM13, since the CM13 build for OnePlus X seems to have the same problem. I think i've seen them discuss a "dirty" fix for it in the thread, maybe you could look it up and contact the dev if he managed to fix it, it might help you fix it for the Alpha ?

I would like to fix VoIP calls, so could someone backup CM and flash the latest stock ROM?

Then copy https://xor.cryptomilk.org/android/tinymix to your sdcard and make sure it has the execute bit set (chmod 0755 tinymix)

Then clear logcat with 'adb logcat -c'

Do a VoIP call e.g. with the Signal App

While in the call run /path/to/tinymix > /sdcard/mixer_voip_state.log

Hang up

Get logcat

Attach mixer_voip_state.log and the logcat here. Thanks!

Hi,

I don't have any issue on Voice IP (Skype).

The ROM works great for me, some small bugs still exist but they are minor.

The only issue for me that needs to be fixed concerns phone calls "speaker on" on incoming and outgoing calls. It was there on BETA8 too, sometimes the sound is relayed on the speaker instead of the earpiece. Do you think you can fix this? I have a workaround using tasker but it is a bad fix...

Thanks!:good:

I found a bug that concerns both ROMs, the mediaserver does not close the audio properly after a notification sound, leading to unnecessary battery drain.

I could monitor this using GSam Battery Monitor, to reproduce it check the app usage / System (Mediaserver) / Audio On time after a notification, it goes up and up and only stops if you turn the screen on or off.

Do you also have this?

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
I think that a lot of users want to test CM12, just because no AOSP-based ROM is available for our device.

Furthermore, maintainers and developers for other devices are able to give out some builds to a testing group with one head person who keeps the test build secret in his group. It's a good strategy to find new issues and to provide some logcats as a help for the devs to fix the problems. It's just a way to bridge the next few weeks / months until a stable ROM can be released.
