[MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] just want to report an interesting incident. I was trying to place a skype call and obviously it didn't work. So i plugged in an earphone ( microphone-less, was trying to listen some music ) and placed a skype voip call(just out of curiosity) and the skype started to work. Then i rebooted just to reproduce the issue and voila. The voip again stopped working after a reboot and plugging in an earphone makes it work again. And the working state persist even if i remove the earphone , well, until i do a reboot. Can you please check that if its only me or happening to you too? Thanks.

N:B: Will get a logcat next time.

Edit: Native earphones also working/producing the same result
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] oyir:
I experiencing this issue on rr 567, but on my issue my friend doesn't hear my voice when earphone plugged, when i unplugged earphone voip works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] dannerph:
I can confirm this observation, but the audio output is pretty quiet.

Edit: I tested it using Signal Call (Redphone)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] x33k:
In rr the audio_policy file had some issues which may have produced your particular problem. See my comment in RR thread. In CM13 beta3 with earphone plugged in, skype is working fine. IMO, whatsapp and viber is working fine too.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] oyir:
I checked your post on rr thread. Can i replace rr audio policy from beta3 audio policy? Or the problem is more complicated than audio policy?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] x33k:
The problem is more complicated and as far as i know [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] is working on it. But as a temporary solution, editing the audio policy seems to be a reasonable one. I'd suggest editing the rr audio policy file rather than replacing.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] oyir:
Okaayyy, i will try it. Thanks for your advice mate. Cheers~
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Blubberor:
Much better now. Thanks a lot! Only if phone falls asleep and guess switching CPU States some hickups at the beginning. Really nice solution.

Worth being integrated to beta4 [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Scitz0:
I tried the solution mentioned in this thread about plugging in head-/earphones and playing a few seconds of music(not sure if this is needed) after boot and disconnecting them. I think the solution was mentioned regarding voip but worked great for my issue as well.

The only problem is that I need to have earphones with me whenever I need to reboot the phone :/. But a solution good enough I can live with for the moment when everything else works as good as it does.

Hi

So I want to know how long it will probably take to make this ROM stable, or about at the same level as the one from sunsetrack4 which I'm currently using. But his build seems to have some issues with the bluetooth which I need very much. Also when I take a look at his changelog, he just seems to update stuff, not to fix any bugs. Also I saw the stable ROM from kyasu (here) which might help you progress with this ROM. I can't install his version, because it is only for the G850W version and I have a G850F.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
Log files can be helpful in order to fix the a.m. issues...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] vessk0:
Guys, I've lost ROOT when I flashed this ROM. How I can root the phone without loosing the current install?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kzip:
Settings > Developer Options > Root Access

Enable for Apps and you're good to go.

gapps stopping me from installing this rom

I have tried several times to install but The gApps crash every time so I cannot initialize my phone.

I started by uppgrading the phone to the latest (swedish) official rom from sammobile which is G850FXXU2COI3.

I flashed TWRP 2.8.1.1 using Odin 3.09.

I downloaded cm-13.0-20160411-UNOFFICIAL-slte-beta3.zip and put it on the sdcard.

I downloaded open_gapps-arm-6.0-mini-20160512.zip and put it on the sdcard.

(I first tried open_gapps-arm64-6.0-mini-20160512.zip and but TWRP refused to install due to 64bit which was a bit surprising)

I wiped the system partition and installed using TWRP. I also tried to wipe almost everything.

If I don't install open gapps at all the phone starts OK but I miss the google play and other stuff from google.

If I install open gapps the phone hangs in a loop telling me the google apps crashed and I'm not getting past the initialization steps.

Anyone has a good idea what to try next?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] knijntjes:
Update twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kafferejsarn:
I have installed the latest for slte devices (as I understand it) from twrp. See dl.twrp.me/slte/

If I install the TWRP Manager 2.8.1.1 is the latest I get as options for install.

I know there is a 3.0 version but not sure it will work on my device, not even how to install it...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
Just install Flashify from Play Store and flash the latest image file.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kafferejsarn:
Thank you for your effort to help me! I would really like to manage to run CM instead of Samsung Android.

I have now installed TWRP 3.0.0.0 using flashify. Still cannot install open gapps mini for arm64. As the Alpha processor is 64bit I guess this should be the correct file to use?

Or is the CM13 for Alpha 32 bit?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
You have to flash the arm version of GApps. The Galaxy Alpha has a 32bit CPU.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] fattymcdirty:
Any further development/updates here?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Darkbepo:
Hey guys :) According to a lot of sources, Android N should have vulkan support. Is this present on CM as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gabrielking9:
Flashify works with galaxy alpha? Does any other app works for flash recovery? If so, then there's nood need to use Odin on a windows machine to flash it?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kafferejsarn:
I have now successfully installed TWRP 3.0.0.0, CM13 and gapps mini. Everything seem to work well except for the stability of wifi.

Wifi disconnects when phone is idle with screen locked. I have set wifi to allways on in the advanced meny.

I have also switched to legacy DHCP client as suggested as after lot of googling.

The DHCP legacy client seemed to fix it for a while but the phone still disconnects from time to time. When it has a period of disconnecting it seem to disconnect after approximately 10 minuters a number of times.

The wifi disconnect problem seem to be related to the AOSP 6 and not this particular mod for Alpha.

If anyone has a suggestion for the wifi problem, please give me a hint.

IF my logs could help catching this problem and someone is willing to put time on analysing them, I'm happy to help.

I also miss the s-view funktion unlocking screen when flipping my cover bit this is a Samsung feature I guess I havet to live without...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
No, didn't have much time. Just some small improvements.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Curlybone:
When I am installing Gapps it stops because it cannot find the SD-Card but in my samsung galaxy Alpha 850F there is no room for an Sd card what do I do?? Please Help me. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Curlybone:
It works now but a New problem has come. When I make a Phone call my phone restarts and do not ring up. What can I do? The phone is not good if you cannot make a phone call??? Please help
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] jReX-:
It works great on my G850F, amazing work there! Just two things disturb me (very small things): Is there any way I can use the fingerprint sensor? I don't see a setting for it, not in the main settings nor in the lock screen settings. And, sometimes the "Auto-Rotate" option doesn't work (the sensor inside the device does work, that's not the problem). But still, I don't regret installing it. Thank you!!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] zailer:
Please try this. May be due to default dialer app change.

For those who get a reboot when using dialer please go to settings ,application ,default apps , and chose Google dialer as default .It should work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kzip:
No fingerprint capability with CM on this phone as yet I'm afraid.

Rotate should work fine though (does on mine) perhaps the disable option got set in your pull down menu?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Curlybone:
I have seen this and have same problem any other ways beacaus it is difficult when I am driving. Please help with bluetooth problem

Every time I try to make a call via BT in my car, the cell-signal drops COMPLETELY... EVERY time... after getting into flight-mode and back, signal is back - until placing the next call via BT. Normal calls work fine... any1?

Start Call w/o BT, then Switch and activate bt

Any other ways to get out of the problem for good??
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] jReX-:
OK, the rotation works most of the time, but sometimes it says "Portrait" even when it's in landscape mode or doesn't want to rotate e.g. in the YouTube app. So I don't think it's stuck on disabled, but thanks for your help anyway :) And for the fingerprint: I think mine doesn't work anymore anyway (I tried it back when I had the stock ROM and even then it gave me some kind of an error) so it's not that bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Fixed some longstanding selinux issues. Audio work next.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
Please note that your latest SELinux fixes causes Bluetooth FCs on some devices (not mine). I had to revert two commits to solve the problem in my RR builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
That's the wrong way to do it! Reverting fixes doesn't fix anything! If something is wrong provide /proc/avc_msg and we can fix it correctly!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
As mentioned before, my device isn't affected. I posted an announcement in my RR thread, and I hope that the users are able to provide the necessary information. I had to revert the commits in order to find the cause of these errors.

Reverted commits: 1 and 2
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] cowffee:
my sim card isn't detected. Is this related to the modem? Sorry if I'm wrong. I'm new to the root world.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] happy3777:
Se it's because of modem,

You need to flash ur own modem extract from stock firmware or google the modem file for tour model no

It never happened to me on cm based rom

Faced this issu on an srock rom because my modle is 850y not f but i did n it worked perfect
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] NazareoJordan:

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] josepmaria:
Hello [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION].

Dirty and then clean installed it, but baseband and imei unknown. Beta 3 was working good.

Many thanks.

Edit: also controls panel doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
Sorry [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] but there is something very wrong with my particular case. As you may remember I was struggling a lot with modem issues in beta 3, modem would just go away often. I finally installed stock LL and the problem remained (lost cellular connection often), so I went to the support and after two tries - first they replaced some charging circuitry and firmware, then I believe they replace the antenna - it was fixed. I installed beta 3 and lived happy until today.

My theory is/was that we are sending some commands to the modem that break something in my country's context (maybe power related).

So today I upgraded to beta 4 and immediately the modem disappeared again :(

I will try to wipe back to beta 3 and let you know, but for sure there is something fishy here....

Thanks,

Nuno
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Baseband version G850FXXUCOJ5 is working just fine here.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] josepmaria:
I was in this modem (COJ5).

I have reflashed stock firmware with this modem, and then beta 4, and have the same results, no baseband and no imei. Clean flashed beta 3 and working fine.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] km1306:
After clean install beta 4 no modem. After install newest modem.bin via odin still no modem....

Sim card not working in beta 4

Sim was working perfectly in beta 3, I flashed it a couple times to make sure I didn't do anything wrong, tried changing the sim card, still don't work.. any fix?

:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Farly77:
the same issue with SIM card here on G850F.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:

Yeah, same issue.

How to fix modem issue

Hi guys,

first of all I want to say thank you for the great ROM.

I noticed, that a lot of people don't know how to fix the modem issue. I try to explain how to fix this:

1. Download and install the program 7z.

2. Download the firmare from sammobile.com of your region.

3. Extract the .zip file with 7z.

4. Extract the MD5 file with 7z and you will find some files. One is called 'modem.bin'.

5. Put your device in download mode.

6. Start odin, click on 'CP' and select the 'modem.bin' file.

7. Click on start and wait until it show's 'Pass'.

8. Reboot your phone, go to settings, activate your cellcular networks and just wait up to a few minutes.

Let me know if it worked and have a nice day :D
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] km1306:
Replacing modem.bin not working ...:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kzip:
Hi [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] I'm having the same problem some people have commented above - beta4 gives no sim card, I'll describe the symptoms;

After a full wipe, factory reset and update to latest Samsung ROM, then install Beta4 + OpenGApps "Stock" - get an error during first boot after WiFi configuration that there is no SIM card installed.

1. Settings > Mobile Networks - set to off, you can turn it on but as soon as you go out of settings and back in it's off again

2. Going in to Settings > Mobile Networks - all options are greyed out and under "Preferred Network Type" it says "Invalid Network Mode (-1). Ignore."

Doing a bit of a search on google I tracked down this Cyanogenmod forum post from a couple of weeks ago which seems to say this problem was introduced in a nightly build and then fixed shortly after. Hope that helps!

https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-3042

*EDIT* It might be important to mention - I have a non-LTE SIM card (3G only) so perhaps that has some bearing on the problem perhaps...

Cheers,

Kzip.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kzip:
Just a quick follow up. I've rolled back to beta3 and all working fine. Tried a dirty flash from 3 to 4 and sim card stopped working again. Rolled back to 3 and all good. When I install beta3, at the very beginning of setup when you choose language it pops up a message saying UK sim card detected. Beta4 does not do this so maybe a clue...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kzip:
Final bit of information. If I access the hidden menu using *#*#4636#*#* and go in to the "Phone Info" section:

Beta3 shows my correct IMEI numer

Beta4 is blank in the IMEI section
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
Pls check your inbox.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] JellyShakers:
Invalid Network Mode (-1). Ignore.

"Invalid Network Mode (-1). Ignore." for me on Beta-4, even after reflashing the modem.

Reverted back to Beta-3 and waiting for Beta-4 to be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
BETA5 is coming soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
BETA5 is out.

On my device I've flashed the new modem from:

G850FXXU2CPD1_G850FLUX2CPF1_LUX
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Darkbepo:
Would it mess something up with my network if I used the same one you're using on my phone? From Denmark :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
I didn't have any problems with my device. It is Europe ... but you only find out if you try. You can always flash back the old modem firmware. But I'm not responsible if you break something ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] JellyShakers:
Thank you, Beta-5 is working properly for me so far. No more "Invalid Network Mode" for me. I'll report if I find something wrong later.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] oluislimao:
just installed the new CM for alpha and my mobile sim card isnt reading anymore... any way to solve this ?!?!?!?!?

UPDATE: changed the IMEI and it seems to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ArisRafaelli:
Can you please upload that firmware somewhere so we can download it, those websites usually take 5-10 hours to download :/
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] oyir:
You can use this tool mate http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 download rate about 300-500 kbps. Happy downloading.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ArisRafaelli:
How stable is beta 5? Any apps that don't work or crash? I remember in beta 3 the music player crashed for example.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] oluislimao:
I didnt notice any bug besides when i make/receive a call it displays the song on speakers instead of hear speaker... Anyone know how to solve this ?!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kzip:
Thanks [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] I'm away for a few weeks but I'll give it a try when I get back. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ArisRafaelli:
So far beta 5 seems quiet stable, music player crashed once, and sometimes vibration motor doesn't work properly, it kinda dims. Battery life seems also pretty good. 100% at 5:30pm - 11:30pm 63%

Haven't been able to test everything tho. Will report back probably tomorrow

Great work OP thumbs up
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Rookieprodigy:
Is flashing the new modem necessary? I didn't do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nicholas_wijaya:
sorry i wanna ask. which gapps should i download? android 6.0 stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mendelmaleh:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ArisRafaelli:
Ok so far, camera stops working when taking a picture through WhatsApp. The app freezes, afterward when I open the stock camera app it says camera disconnected or something like that, reboot fixes the issue.

Music crashed a few times when opening apps.

Battery life is good when stand-by. However when using any kind of app it drains quite fast. Even listening to music through earphones and screen off.

Sometimes video doesn't rotate in full screen mode in YouTube app.

Earphones: mic and buttons not working.

IMO: battery and camera should be priority, also VoIP is quite important.

Nonetheless great work, really looking forward to Beta 6 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] km1306:
Using Open Camera from Play Store solve problem with photo and video recording but for selfie I must use separatly app....
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ArisRafaelli:
Even in third party apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] km1306:
All apps I've been tested crashed when I switched to front camera from the first beta....
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] phlexx:
Using Beta 5 with opengapps.org's 'pico' package i have none of your issues, but i experienced heavy camera-related issues with their 'stock' package, like 'Can't connect to camera' or FC on front/back switching using 'Google Camera' and 'Open Camera'.

Only issues i have are minor randomly appearing screen distortions in the app overview (or overview screen) and most of the time heavy distorted screenshots (Vol down + Power button combination).

Anyways, Beta 5 is an awesome release! =)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ArisRafaelli:
Really? Im using opengapps nano package. There shouldn't be a big difference right?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] km1306:
Doesn`t matter what kind of GAPS is in use, the front/back camera problem still existing. Also in RR rom too... I think it`s CM13 problem...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
Is there any way to get weather to work?

I've tried both WU and Yahoo provider plugins. But no weather info shows up in either cLock widget or on lockscreen (I guess that is cLock widget too).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ArisRafaelli:
Weather is working here, im using the Yahoo plugin. WU didn't work for me either. Make a new cLock widget an reconfigure it.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
Still don't get it to work.

Seem to be some problem with location for cLock. It does not start the GPS, and I can't set any location manually (finds nothing). Tried allowing location for both the weather provider and cLock in both integrity tab and under settings->apps->permissions. (The permission settings in cm is way confusing, probably just because google seem to be confused about permissions and change stand every time they can.)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mendelmaleh:
When you create a cLock widget, it'll open a window with three options, choose the second one, 'Weather panel'. You will then be in the weather settings, the fourth option is 'Use costum location', enable that, then the next option is 'Location', tap that and set it to whatever you need.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
The thing is I don't get any results for anything there. Not even "New York". And sometimes it repeatedly throws a "Cannot get location" notification.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mendelmaleh:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6DnQUI0QzoqczN6T3BaMVFfekk/view?usp=drivesdk

This is the apk I used, I uploaded it to my google drive. Try installing it, with me it works perfectly (I tried New York and it worked).

I will test the ROM.

Already tested several roms on G850M, I will use this CM 13 for a while and talk about what I thought of the rom, the bugs found and suggestions ...

I hope to be helping! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Bruno Wagner:
Congratulations to the developers!

ROM for a BETA 5 is very good, is very stable, the performance is also very good, the camera despite being good quality, it sometimes to not open, the exchange of recent applications need to improve a bit, the multiple windows mode is not very good, need to correct errors in the music equalizer, voice sound the connections need to improve a bit, the signal with the phone carrier is not very good.

The other functions work well.

G850M
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] jReX-:
I've been using the ROM (Version: Beta2) for the past couple of months, and the only "bugs" I've noticed is the camera not being able to record videos, and sometimes the rotation doesn't work as it should, but for a Beta this is great! I now saw that there's already a Beta5 out there and wanted to ask if I can just flash it with TWRP, or do I need to factory reset in TWRP again (I did that when installing it in the first place)?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mendelmaleh:
I just flashed it
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ashareth:
Once again (for the time #54753464536547453745) there WON'T be any Fingerprint Scanner support in ANY non-stock based Rom for the Galaxy Alpha G850F (or the other non Snapdragon variants) UNTIL Samsung publish the driver in an usable way.... ie : it WILL NOT HAPPEN. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ArisRafaelli:
Even though beta 5 is a great rom, I still cant use it as my daily, I had to switch back to stock. I often use Bluetooth for car playback, some cars it worked other it didn't. I also use the camera often which is very buggy. And VoIP service also.

I'm tired of the stock Rom, hope to see a new release soon. Thanks OP keep up the great work
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mendelmaleh:
Will this project continue under android nougat?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mendelmaleh:
Also does this ROM have ant+ capabilities? I think the alpha normally has
