In the latest RR version the app drawer is different, it's similar to one in Android M developer preview. Is there gonna be an option to switch between this one and standard Lollipop app drawer?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
You can access a menu by tapping and holding the homescreen. Wipe up the grey menu to the top, and set the layout to 'paged' in drawer settings. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mildj84ns:
Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] faldo:
Should this ROM be under "Original Android Development" ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] line____:
sunsettrack4 tanx for yor work men .... can you fix the call qulity and color screen and camera app so we can use your owesome rom....agine tanx for this rom your the best my friend :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
He said he would be working on it but for a posterior version. We can wait honestly, we have at least half a dozen people working on custom roms, Cyanogen(or similar) ports for the various versions of the Alpha (850F/K/M), and they seems to have done a giant leap with the release of LL to the 850F, and the work they done on CM12.1 code source before and since that, let them take the time to fix it. ;)

Buggering them about problems they know about (and practically everyone pester them with) won't make it solve quicker. It'll come in due time. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] line____:
thx to developers :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
I've found a fix for the camera app (thanks to [MENTION=4861355]kyasu[/MENTION]) - I'm able to take pictures in great quality (without wrong colours). The quality of video recordings is better, too (but the colours are still changed). Stay tuned for new RR updates... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] line____:
thanx men your the best :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Gray44:
I'm a really big fan of this rom, I liked it even more than Cyanogen.

I had it on my Galaxy S 1 too!

As soon as the bugs are out I will flash it on my Alpha :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
New build is available now! By updating to RR LP v5.4.7, you are able to take pictures in great quality without wrong colours. Stay tuned for more device-specific bug fixes. :)

Changelog on post #2 or in OTA Updates app

Disclaimer: If the OTA Updater app causes force closes, you'll have to delete the app data and to disable the advertisments in app settings.

thanx men can you upload this rom and gapps in the https://openload.io .... icant download its filter in my country ... ,,,,,very good job :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sphazer:
Great rom.but beside the audio quality in calls i seem to have another problem.sometimes when i make a call the other person cant hear me.and sometime when i receive a call i cant hear the other person...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
I think that the first call after a reboot is affected by this problem, so you should call your mailbox etc. first to ensure that the following calls are working (until the next reboot).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sphazer:
Ok i'll try this and let you know
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] line____:
sunsettrack4 plz chek this and see if it can fix call quality problem,,,, http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/development/fix-low-mic-call-t3055661
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] tnicko:
I flashed this when on the unofficial CM.12.1 and it did nothing. Not sure if anyone else has tried but my test revealed no change for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
This is a nice GIF to understand how development works: https://goo.gl/XNNlFa

I hope that the known problems will be solved in the next weeks.

[MENTION=2142423]line____[/MENTION]

This is a fix for the OnePlus One, I wouldn't recommend to use this solution for an Exynos device...

ok after 3hr use this new rom i have to say .... exept call and video recording problem is the best rom ever ...fast stable nice ... i cant want enyting more.... gooooooooood job sunsettrack :)

ps antutu score is 54000 highest score i ever get in stok was 53700
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sphazer:
Unfortunately is not reboot dependant.i have the same problem with calls nevertheless if i reboot or no.:(...it's like if i get a phone call the person doesn't hear me.if it calls me again in a few minutes it works.but later it doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] klau77:
Download booster

It has download booster s5 for this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] philneo2:
Hello

thanks for this wonderful rom , just a problem with call sometimes when i call the person cant hear me.and sometime when i receive a call i cant hear.....
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
According to the dev of said fix, it should work with pretty much all roms and devices.

(i didn't test it myself though)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sphazer:
I tried that fix is no different
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] deepphrozen:
Great job, IMO the best Lollypop ROM available for the 850. Antutu Benchmark it makes 53+k, with 4.4.4 it were 51k and with the Samsung Official 5.0.2 only 48k.

This ROm looks awesome. I was going to buy me a S6 but honestly, after LP is available for the ALPHA i had doubts and now with this ROM i an thinking about to buy me another ALPHA while they are still available. Here in Spain i can get them free and without any contract for 240,00 Euro.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] dgjl:
The eternal lollipop question: how is battery life? Relative to 5.0.2 and KK roms...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] line____:
battry life is very good and the rom is very fast :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] HitchslapHTC:
Can I flash from the unofficial CM 12.1 as well? Or do I really need to install stock Lollipop first?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jimmymoeller:
Can Gear 2 watch be used with this rom, or do I need touchwiz for it to work?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] dgjl:
I put this on, and took it straight off. Needs a couple of things. Could do with the display options as you appear to be stuck with the foul default display option of the Alpha, when basic is, IMO, the only tolerable one. Also the soft buttons appear on the screen. One other thing my quick tour noted was that the Samsung case doesn't auto turn off, nor does this ROM support the Sammy case window. Apologies if these are all known errors (or 'features'), but I couldn't see them anywhere...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] vuittion:
Why didn't I flash this rom sooner. The rom is simply amazing and the speed of the phone is like grease lightning.

I will send a donation to the dev shortly, please keep supporting this fantastic rom.

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

You obviously didn't give the rom a lot of time, you can turn the soft buttons off in the configuration menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] dgjl:
Yeah, I did that. It just suggested to me the rom was far from optimised for the alpha. It was the display colour that was the decisive problem...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Pvcabr:
Guys, How is the RAM-based consumption on this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] MrShibby:
great rom so far!

I do also get the caller can´t hear me bug a few times a day.

Also the camera can´t connect sometimes.

Other few minor issues really don´t matter but these two have to get fixed so the rom would be perfect.

Great work from the dev so far. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
The latest RR version 5.4.8 is on its way, you can download the new build in a few minutes. :)

I was able to fix the call reliability problem, so you should be able to understand each other again during every call. In this way, I had to remove some audio configs needed by the camera for video recording. Just be patient, the devs are working on several fixes to solve all cam issues.

In addition, the sensor keys aren't activated anymore when the screen is off / during calls. Due to the fact that the RR team has included its own OTA application, I removed the original OTA Updates app. You'll be able to find OTA Center in Settings --> About phone.

Greetings

Awesome job with this rom...looking forward for the camera video recording fix.....much better sound in audio calls.not perfect but its ok.very fast very smooth performance.kudos to the devs...:)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Pvcabr:
This ROM is awesome, its the fastest, hands down. Really great work.

I have a doubt, in this ROM I can set the battery saver mode without restrict the second plan data use? I usually activate this mode on the touchwiz ROM just because do a downclock on the CPU. This was a way that a I found to save some battery when I wasn't doing any hardcore stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] rafalko:
Hello, how I can change the apps list style? I dont like the up-down scrolling. Cant find any information about that :/
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] saxmydix:
Change launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] tnicko:
Or...long-press on an empty spot on the screen. Tap on settings, then place your thumb on those 3 dots that form a sort of triangle and drag up. Here you have the Trebuchet launcher settings. Change the App drawer to paginated.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Edgrr000:
Battery life seems great. I probably could've gotten more if it wasn't for the 20% it dropped overnight while on idle.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] papiollon2561:
Gallery does not recognize photos and videos ; video recording crashed ; runtime test ( Antutu ) dropped to insignificant value . Why should anyone let away such a customize camera and power savings options from Stock firmware for this ROM ? Just a harmless question from an ordinary customer . Anyway I appreciate your and all the others work .
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Pvcabr:
Video crash is a temporary thing and was warned on changelog

My antutu test make 52668.

For me overall performance is more important and this ROM is so much faster than the 5.0.2 that I can't go back anymore. The multitasking is WAY better too, the RAM problem is gone.

The only thing that really bothers me is the battery saving mode because it doesn't allows me to turn off the restriction on second plan data like on the touchwiz.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] papiollon2561:
Antutu score is 53368 on OzcanRom v1.1 . And how can I make a video call ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Pvcabr:
Bug report, I can't use use any voice recorder in any app, Whatsapp, Google Now etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
This is still a developpement/experimental ROM (and it's stated multiple times).

For now, the only people that should install it are people that want to try/test it or are fine with the irks and quirks (video recording crashing camera, a few other things) for a daily use.

If you want something stable and optimized, go for Ozcan Rom till this one (or the CM port in progress) are mature enough to not have any stability/features problems.

For the rest, quite some people can't stand the Samsung ROMs and bloatware and are there for something else. :D

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Pvcabr:
I'm also had problems when I tried to turn on the WiFi. I had to reboot my to resolve it.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
My main problem was rebooting when it happened caused a perma bootloop/stuck on RR logo (with really hot phone)....

I've spent quite some time working on it in the past 2 days, and unless i missed something i'm pretty certain it's Amplify, but i really can't afford to do the last tests to be sure in the next 2 days, so it'll have to wait (and i'm not certain i want to do them afterward when i'm pretty sure it's the culprit, and if it isn't, it's another Xposed module like Gravity Box... :D).

Spent the whole night updating/tweaking/reinstalling things step by step, tailoring it to my needs, with multiple reboots and with the "important" xposed modules active (Greenify, Xprivacy, MinMinGuard) and a few other things, and it's stable for now, my phone is back to "normal" and still nothing close to WiFi crashing/refusing to activate or deactivate, nor a bootloop nor overheating.

edit : Another weird thing i stumbled upon, on my first flash of the rom i had a full "migration" wizard, allowing me to basically get pretty much everything back (WiFi info/passwords saved, getting back a good chunk of my app settings, and so on) i didn't get afterwards.... but on top of that for the past 10 or so "full wipes+reinstall" i had to manually add Drive/Calendar to get the option to synchronize their data and use them with other apps (i usually use Jorte Calendar not the Google One, and Drive for backing up Super Backup"s data and nothing else).

Anyone else had that problem ?

So for now fingers's crossed but it really looks like the problem was Amplify. I'll probably start doing more testing again in a few, i should get my brother's Sony M2 as a backup "stable" phone while i **** around doing stupid things on the Alpha soon since it's a bit borked but usable and he intends to change it soon. :D

I'll happily go back to testing things (and doing stupid things requiring a full wipe+flash or stock rom reflash quite often) after that, but till then i need a working phone (that i seem to have now). :)

edit : i sometimes have crashes when i receive a call (and the phone do a soft reboot), and the screen takes an awful lot of time to awake when i receive a call while it's in deep sleep.

Anyone else encountering this or it's something on my side due to something i installed ? xD

RR LP v5.5.0 is ready! The new build fixes the bad audio quality during calls. In addition, the media volume should be higher now. You can record videos in great quality by using the Camu Camera App. In this way, you are able to use this ROM as a daily driver - ENJOY RR! :good:

DISCLAIMER: The new build is based on Android 5.1.1_r6 - a CLEAN INSTALL IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I'm also prepared to support new device variants (Exynos). Have a look at this G+ post - RR can be used on G850M! - Just download the suitable ROM file here. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
Probably the same "random" bug some people have. It seems to happens on some devices and not others, sometimes it happens and sometimes not.

Mine wasn't working after flashing the previous Rom, then worked again after i did a reboot + wipe dalvik/cache, and now it's working again fine. Seems to be a kernel problem, with a fix being included in the Malaysian retail kernel (it's linked in Ozcam rom from memory).

Otherwise i did a dirty flash of the last Rom (i wasn't in a mood for yet another full wipe, did too much recently) and so far, it's quite stable and working properly.

Using lg Camera (the free version) i seems to have no problem switching back and forth between back and front camera, colours seems normal for pictures taking, and image and sound are nice for video recording.

On top of that call seems better too (i don't have the "robotic voice" effect on calls anymore), overall, i think it starts being something you can use daily for most things.

The battery life is quite great too (unless i forget to turn out WiFi when i'm out and it keep searching for networks/connecting to the various free hotspots coming from my Carrier :D).

Sometimes some apps seems to take an heavy drain on the battery (i had to disable the native browser and Contacts+ for exemple), barring the phone from going into deepsleep, wich is weird because i didn't had that problem before.

Otherwise, i flashed the last Xposed for 5.1.x (the unofficial version), and it works fine, Xprivacy still seems to cause quite heavy "load" on the device, making it seems sluggish so i disabled it, Gravity Box seems to cause a bootloop, Greenify too, but i use MinMinGuard, YoutubeAdAway, BootManager, Native AppFreezer (but it doesn't seems to do anything), Lightning Wall and a Battery Stats Plus and it works fine for now.

I must admit i'm a bit reluctant to test more modules because it's a pain to trouble shoot, going through reboot in recovery, disable, reboot, remove the interface app after disabling all modules, reboot, then redo the whole installation again, rince and repeat until you find the offender(s) in your module(s) (or if it's just bad modules interaction).

Overall, quite a great Rom, thanx for the work.

On a side note, it feels like since the previous version of the Rom the Vibration Strength is quite diminished (it's my feeling though), any settings i missed out somewhere to tweak it that i could have missed ?

Anyone else having the same problem ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] saxmydix:
My recent button also not working, all xposed tweak im using working fine include greenify. I'll give a list later. Best rom so far. Thanks to the dev for his great job. :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
I'll probably go back to test a few more xposed thingies soon, but for now i like having a "not too testing" phone. I've spent enough time doing that, and i don't have a spare to use while doing that anymore sadly. :(

Easy, there :

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/super-alpha-posted-permission-xposed-t3072979

But REALLY read everything in the thread, don't flash blindly in the wrong order or you will probably get problems. The file you want is the arm one (not the arm64 one).

edit : i tested Greenify again, and it seems to work without bootloop/hogging performances this time. Sad thing is that BatteryStats plus isn't working great anymore (basically it seems to be "cut off" when the phone goes in deep sleep, wich in turn screw up with the stats :p).

More later.

edit2 : For Xposed, go to the xposed forums and check up the thread about the xposed modules working/not working with Lollipop/Lollipop 5.1, it will probably avoid some forced reboot into recovery to disable xposed/faulty modules. :p

(For exemple, if you use MaxLock Module, there seems to have big problems with v5.2.x, and the author advise to go back to 5.1.1 for Lollipop based roms, and it's only one exemple, quite some only work with the latest alpha/beta, even if more and more are compatible with Lollipop "out of the box").
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
I uploaded RR builds for all known EXYNOS variants of this device. Therefore, I need your feedback to update these different build variants in future. The frequency depends on user acceptance, ROM functionality and the number of downloads. If you want to test the builds, please install Stock 5.0.2 FW and TWRP 2.8.1.1 first BEFORE upgrading to RR.

I hope I can support most of the EXYNOS devices in this way. :)
