MOD EDIT: Chill out

It'll be fixed (if it is) when they have time, but there is litterary DOZENS of things to work on before that crap you can VERY EASILY work around (OMG you have to plug your phone in) on top of affecting only a REALLY LOW number of users (basically, right now, you and only you accross all 3 roms).

Read the frigging forum rules for starter and stop with that.

For audio quality, if you read the thread/op before spamming it again, you would know it's a KNOWN problem, and still a work in progress (one of the main one accross all the CM-based roms being worked on i must say), so 2 choices :

- it's critical for you, remove RR/CM-based Rom, and move to something like Ozcan's Rom or Stock one

- it's not critical, and do like everyone else, deal with it and wait while they try to fix it through trial and error. IT WILL take time, and everyone with half a brain knew it from the start....
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Mr. Clown:
The last time I checked, we weren't a customer service forum. You will need to wait for a solution ;). Please refrain yourself from these comments.

Back on topic please,

New build is up! :)

Changelog on post #2.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] yassine78:
good work, i'll test it :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sk0815:
I only post this again, because nobody answers me. So I don't know if it is only a Problem of me...

And I have the same Problem with Ozan's Rom, so there is no way to change.

The only one which works was the old CM12.1.

So if it is a known problem I will wait for fixing.

Is there someone with Galaxy Alpha SM-G850L who tried this rom? Feedback pls. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] MrShibby:
thank you for the update to 5.5.3

It seems that vibration for the capacitive keys is gone

Edit: it was just the setting that was disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
Been using it since the day it was released and no real problem thus far.

I had a case of "very high temperature" coupled with "massive battery drain" at some point, but rebooting solved it, and no problem since then.

I think it has to do with camera launching itself from lockscreen in my pocket and "bugging out" afterwards but not sure.

edit : A quick question. Is the phone compatible with EAP-Sim protocole or not ? I know the stock Rom was, but i can't recall if it ever worked or not on this Rom (i really don't use it often) even if i seems to remember it working in some previous iterations, because i can't get it to work with the current one (it's failing the authentification).

Anyone that can/have try(ied) it and let me know ? Thanx in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
A new update is available - several fixes are included, affecting...

Video encoding / recording

Audio routing for VoIP calls

Hardware sources

Interactive Governor (cpufreq).

Feel free to update your RR installation. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ayamgoreng:
hopefully echo will be fix soon, so I can use this as daily phone.

Thanks for your hard work :)

Recents button completely stopped working after 8/22 update. Using LMT Launcher for now. I'll try a clean install on the next update
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
You should definetely try a clean install because I've never had this problem before. I always wipe system and data partitions for a better stability of my builds... ;)

hi men do you fix the display colors like the orginal rom or still its like lcd

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] fabietto081086:
Hi I love this rom and frequent update.. But How can I turn up the volume of the sounds of the lock screen?

Stock volume are very low..
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
Another bug that is a quite big problem (and don't look specific to your Rom either : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62451657&postcount=155).

Basically the Network Operators screen (Settings->Mobile Networks->Network Operators) is blank/empty (where it should list quite some, it's at least 4 different ones for me on stock rom/any other phone), and crash when you try to search making it you can't manually chose what Network Operator to use, and, as a side effect, it makes using a carrier with a global national roaming contract quite hard (basically my phone stick to the Roaming Partner all the time, instead of switching to my operator's own network when available....).

In a month or so i went from roughly 40/60% usage on my carrier's network/the roaming partner's network. In retrospect, i think the problem arose with the Rom you said could require setting up again the APN after update.

(PS: it was working fine on stock Rom, on Ozcan Rom and on your Rom till late July or something (can't recall exactly the date, but i'm pretty sure it's the last July Rom that changed that).

fabietto : you can try using Xposed + the xposed vibartion module to force it to be stronger, might work.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] fabietto081086:
I have problem with Bluetooth speaker. Sometimes the audio quality became terribile and my speaker are ok, i try it with another smartphone..

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

I dont have problem with vibration but with volume sound of the lock screen..
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] :
is the camera 2 api working?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
fabietto : sorry i missread what your problem was. I wonder if there isn't a way/xposed module to force higher volume, i'll take a look when i have time. :D

sunsettrack4 : did you change the Baseband used in this rom around end of July by chance ?

After a bit of time using the last version of the Rom, i find it far less stable than before. There is quite some "freezing"/stuttering/lagging at some moments, specially in recent apps windows, and on unlocking (i use swipe + pattern). On top of that i had multiple spontaneous reboots today while using the phone (one during an important call, wich was quite upsetting) things i never had before using your Rom.

(i made a full wipe before updating so it's not a problem of not doing a clean install leading to residual problems).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
It could be a problem caused by the new hardware sources - but in this way, you should experience this behaviour on CM12, too...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
Didn't really try the latest version of CM12 by Kyasu yet, and the last one i did didn't had the new hardware source sync i think.

Btw another problem with the network part, everytime i receive an MMS, data crash, and i need to disable/reenable data for it to work (multiple times, until said MMS is received and then it stops crashing).

Been like that for quite some time now too (but i rarely receive MMS, specially during summer vacations :p), think it's at the same time the problem with the Network Operators page being blank appeared.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] cybrid3:
Have put this on my mates alpha and its running great except one thing. When we connect it to his cars bluetooth it only allows media audio and there is no option to phone. This is on a 2015 car. On and older aftermarket stereo it works for phone audio. Any help much appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
Ok something i'll need help to figure : for the past few weeks i had really bad stability, stuttering, laggins, and crashes that lead to reboot.

Since it came with the last version of RR it took me some time to figure out it might not be. After a few weeks and updates, it *might* have come from using Xposed+Xprivacy.

I wonder if anyone else out there is using Xposed+Xprivacy on this Rom and if it works, if they face the same problems i do or not ?

(just to know if it's just me, it's linked to xprivacy, or not, or something, to know where to go to post bug/problems reports because i'm not sure anymore it's linked to the change to hardware profiles on RR recently :/).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] saxmydix:
This also happened to me with latest released rom. Not using xprivacy on my phone. I think it caused by latest source from kyasu/cm as i can see that ppl that using his rom also have random reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
So it might be linked to the new hardware profile merged in the last RR versions (and the same for Kyasu's CM roms) i guess. We will see. Thanx for the answer.

I must admit i'll probably soon revert back to late July RR version soon because it was far more stable and with far less bugs than nowadays for me (i don't need BT/voice call over bt and such), while the recent ones brought more problems than it fixed in my specific case. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
I will remove the new hardware source code for RR v5.5.5, so you should get the previous stability again. In addition, I try to solve the call problem by using the modified XML file. I also want to include the support for FLAC + AAC decoding - maybe I'm able to use the fixes for SELinux in next build, too :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
Ah nice. But don't do that just for me, maybe we need more feedback from others on stability since the hardware profile change. It might come from some other interactions not everyone has (i must admit, for now it seems more stable without xprivacy enabled, but it was always "random" before, i could have a phone working nice all day, and crash 10 times the next day, didn't really pinpoint the problem myself).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
New Update!

I was able to include the workarounds for the call echo problem - it works just fine! Great thanks to [MENTION=4742150]vectro73[/MENTION], [MENTION=6916736]lucasplv[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4724491]surfin-bobby[/MENTION] for their help! :good:

In addition to that, the SELinux mode is set to "Enforcing" for now, you can switch to "Permissive" mode via settings (thanks to [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] for that).

The system stability should be also as good as in previous builds, because the new hardware sources have been removed.

RR v5.5.5 is available now! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] fabietto081086:
Hi thx for new version. There are possibility to insert fingerprint function in future release?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] cebulank:
The fingerprint needs the Samsung framework so it won't work.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
Thanx a lot for your work.

A bit of update, since i disabled xprivacy, the phone, while less stable and with some stuttering/lagging at times, than before, is back to stable enough for day to day.

Will test this version soon.

On a side note, for all the Xposed users out there, unless i missed it, you NEED SELinux Permissive for it to work for now.

It's something you should check before upgrading/reinstalling Xposed, because it could cause bootloops, so beware. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
You can switch SELinux mode via Settings => Configurations => Miscellaneous => SELinux Switch Options. :)

Yup i know, it's just that i don't know what happens if you forget to do it before xposed install : nothing happens/not working or bootloop. :p

recent button is not working with this rom...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Edgrr000:
So I'm not the only one with this problem. What is your experience?

For mine, it seems to lose sensitivity gradually until it completely stops working. Rebooting it doesn't fix the problem, it just comes and goes randomly especially when it starts heating up. I'm thinking it might just be the screen protector I have, or some other hardware problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
From my side, it's something that come and goes in a *really weird way* : The same Rom depending on how/when i flash it can have the recent app button working or not... and worse, it can work or not from one reboot to another, or stop working during use.

And sometimes, i still didn't manage to pinpoint how, after a few hours/days (i don't reboot my phone unless i need to or it crashed) it start working again, without notice, it's weird.

(on that side, it was a bug/problem that appeared with the *official* LL 5.0.2 Rom from Samsung)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] TorbenMaMe:
Hey Guys,

got the recent button issue too. It is not the screen protector. Its the update on jelly bean. I got the 850F version. Untill its fixed you can do a upwards gesture for recent menue from the button left. This is very close to using the button in the normal way ;) .

Got a other issue with bluetooth. There is no auto connect and if a headset or a handfree is forced to connect my phone is calling the last number i called from itself. It is very wierd.

Besides of this ... i really really love this rom. It much more faster than the stock version.

Have a nice day.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] likhon02:
recent button works just fine on touch wiz and touch wiz based rom for me. but in this rom It does not work at all it seems the rom does not recognize recent button may be driver related issue.. I tried flashing it in every way but nothing works...

THEN YOU SAY

"Wipe /system, /data, /cache, dalvik cache"

!!!! ????

as i know, when i wipe /system & /data i'm wiping the pre installed ROM !! or what ?

anyway i gonna try

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
Just tap and hold your finger on an empty space of the homescreen. You should see a new menu, swipe it up and you'll find an option to set the app drawer style (=> paged).

The device needs the LP bootloader, otherwise RR won't be able to boot.

man you are awesome ,, thanks for reply <3 i got the paged style ...

next time if i just & only flashed the LP bootloader without the entire LP ROM .. would it work ? , i mean the "sboot.bin" file only

#2

do you know a way to run & use s health service such as heart rate SENSOR or any alternative app the uses the actual heart rate sensor on this rom ?

do the fingerprint sensor supported on this ROM ?

do you know a camera app that is able to record 4K videos or any other samsung-like camera app

Thank you very much THANKSSSSS

the ROM is extremely super incredible fast at balance mode with all animations are enabled

with a wooooow response time for any touch on the screen

nice & normal battery performance also

Thank you for developing this
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] jirik152:
Do someone face the same problem like me ? Sometimes my WiFi dont want to turn on. Just UI freeze after reboot is fine. But its sooo anoying.

The better thing this ROM is so awesome fast and the battery is super great. Only few things like the WiFi and also longer delay after pushing power button to wake up device

after one day of using i have few problems. First maybe the worst one microphone is sooo weak. Proximity sensor is completely not working. In recent apps on some windows there are something like error stripes (dont know how to describe it). Dissapearing of icons from my home page. Thats all i discovered. But on the other hand i have 4h 14 min of SOT and im still on 35% all the time with balance mode. Thats magical.

#1

It's better to flash the Stock ROM via Odin, that's the easiest way to update the bootloader.

#2

Heart rate sensors aren't supported on any AOSP-based custom ROM.

The fingerprint sensor could be used in CM / RR, but the needed source code has to be compatible with CM then.

4K video recording may be added back soon - this feature has been removed by kyasu a few months ago.

Hi, I am planning to buy this phone, I like the device itself (great build, lightweight and etc..) but dislike Touchwiz roms.

How's the battery life in RR ? This is a big point for me.. I am a big fan of CM and others AOSP based roms..
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
The battery life should be much better (in comparism to Stock ROM).

BTW, new builds will be available for G850F/FQ/M this evening! :)

Update: Just check the OTA Center to get the new RR v5.5.6 for your device variant. Please note that a clean install is highly recommended!

Rom beautiful but there is a huge problem, please try the first. The problem is legal as Digiturk and publications are very difficult to play prga my voice hurts and I tried BAS TV progamme not hiçgel not sound the same problems continued. So I went back to the previous version. 10 numbers you fix it
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
Yep, but echo is also fixed in RR v5.5.5

I don't really know what you mean, but maybe you should take a look at this commit:

https://github.com/sunsettrack4/res...mmit/0e96fd017d5158a5d0d50bdc46340bf72864db8a

You can edit the mixer_paths.xml file (located in /system/etc) on your own, just use CM File Manager in root mode and set the relevant values to previous configuration, then reboot your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] huffman.eod:
First post here on xdadev (been a long-time lurker)... Awesome work on this ROM sunsettrack4! Here is my experience on G850L (from stock 5.0.2 FW):

First, I could not get recovery to work properly on this phone! After flashing CF-autoroot in Odin, I flashed TWRP 2.8.1.1 recovery which resulted in being stuck on Samsung logo after rebooting recovery. Tried multiple times, and with different versions (2.8.6, 2.8.7, and CWM recovery)... same result. I then rebooted phone, downloaded TWRP Manager in PlayStore and flashed TWRP 2.8.1.1 and rebooted recovery from the app and it worked. So, recovery works from app but not with physical buttons while phone is off!

Second, install of RR for 850L was fine from TWRP (wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache, install .zip file). ROM works perfectly!... until I pull the battery and reset. Then I stick on Samsung logo (no recovery from this point because only works from app). Odin mode works still so I am back on stock rooted FW.

I am thinking about doing the same procedure to install RR, then use Odin to flash stock recovery back to the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] The Suspect:
I really like this ROM ! Nice Work Guys! But:

I have been used an ealier version of RR, but i had problems with MMS and mobiledata. When i got a MMS, it would crash my mobiledata, and where the 4G/3G/H icon were, is replaced with an " ! ".

I have tested this many times, and everytime i got an MMS, the Network crashed and i needed to disable og enable mobiledata to get it up and running Again. Is this fixed or? I have exactly the same problem on CM.

Im running LL 5.0.2 now, but i really want RR, so nice!

//The Suspect
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
not fixed no. I've got the same problem, and it's kind of a pain, but i can manage since i seldom receive MMS, that i can "work around" it (it's a pain since it requires disabling/enabling data a lot until it finally comes through :/) and the few people sending me MMS often knows to use other ways. :D

But would be nice to have that fixed yes;

(like i said before, it's a behaviour that started to happen "recently" (as in around end of June/July), the first iterations of this Rom didn't had that.
