PA - try this

in root browser find /system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl and then, where there is:

key 226 HEADSETHOOK ( it may be a different number on each phone - but HEADSETHOOK is what you are looking for)

change to:

# key 226 HEADSETHOOK

save & reboot

Let me know if it fixes it for you....
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] P A:
Did as u say and problem is still there, i found out that problem is seen on home screen youtube and music player (black player). Scrolling on browser, fb, insta, app drawer, etc works fine
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] k500zm:
PA - If the problem does not exist without using Xposed - then it is a problem with Xposed and I suggest you take the problem to the Xposed threads.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Bradlee22:
Has anyone else experienced bluetooth pairing issues? I flashed this clean on a new device, so I can't say if there were any BT issues before flashing. Forgive my ignorance, but does Lineage replace the stock bluetooth stack?

I'm using an app MyBackup for scheduled backups every night at given time. The first time it runs on time, but after a few days the backups are delayed sometimes by 2-3 hours. I turned off battery optimisation for this app, but it didn't change anything. On another phone with CM13 the same app runs without delays. Any ideas what I can do to make it run on time would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] P A:
I fresh installed latest LeangeOS update and dissabled xposed(not removed, uninstalled) but problem still presists. It even started opening and pressing everything whats in that "zone".
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] solquest3:
Hello.

I'm ready to flash this rom, but given that it has been years since I flashed the last one, I need some help.

I'm coming from stock rom with android 5.0.2, rooted with 8+8GB.

So the steps are:

- backup things in twrp

- flash TWRP 3.1.0 (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634753196)

- flash rom (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120723074)

Is it right?

Or do I have to do something else for not loosing the 8+8GB?

Thanks!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] heross:
You don`t lose 8+8. But TWRP backup not all needed partitions. If you only do a backup with TWRP you can no more restore your 5.0.2.

You must do a full Backup with PC Tool from persona78 backup-adb-recovery-twrp-3-0-2-r5, this backup than have all systempartitions, without data. Your /data can you backup/restore normal with TWRP.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] solquest3:
Thanks, doing both these backups right now.

Once done them, is better to make wipe / Factory reset through TWRP menu before flashing the rom?

Thanks!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] heross:
yes
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] solquest3:
Done it (selecting al the options), but there's something I don't understand.

I've launched it via pc, but that backup is done via twrp, so why is that different from doing backup directly from twrp?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] heross:
TWRP only backup boot, system and data. Via PC it backup also /modem and other hidden partitions.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] solquest3:
So I've wiped everything except micro SD and flashed this rom.

Now it correctly says:

-Android 6.0.1

-build n. idol347-userdebug 6.0.1 MOB31K 73316b18b9 test-keys

-Internal storage 11.86 GB

Two problems:

- when the screen goes off, it turns back on after 2 seconds (without me touching it). I have had this problem some time ago when I was on 5.0.2 stock rom, but I wouldn't expect to have it back now (also after wiping/factory reset). Any idea on how to solve it?

Just tried: if I make a call, when I take phone close to my ear screen goes off and doesn't turn back on after 2 seconds...but when the call ends it's starting again....

- I thought the gapps were in the zip, but I don't have them now on the phone.... how do I install them?

- Is there something else I have to install?

Thanks.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] solquest3:
Solved the screen turning on: disabling the Double tap to wake in Setting/display.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] solquest3:
Ok, found and installed gapps (in the aroma variant). One question about this (even if maybe it's not the right place):

which one is better between Google TTS and Pico TTS?

Thanks as usual!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] solquest3:
Another problem.

On TWRP I've flashed BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip for getting root and rebooted but it gets stuck with a curved blu line with a circle going on it and it's not starting.

I've forced power off, gone back to TWRP for doing wipe davlik/cache but when I reboot nothing change.

Can you please help me?

Thanks.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Huskied:
First off, Reflash the ROM, Something done messed up the System which in this case, What you are seeing currently.

Second, Use this. Not all versions work with MM.

mind me. I'm scrolling through forums.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] n3v3rdi3:
I installed it. Before instalation I wiped system and etc. Now I havent google acounts and google play. Some help? :D

But my phone is the fastest now :D
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] solquest3:
Thanks a lot!

Was already flashing again the Rom and then I've seen I can enabling root just under Settings>Developer's Options.

Does this mean I don't need SuperSU? Or is better to flash it anyway?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Huskied:
If you see it in options check to see if it has "Apps and ADB". If so, No need to flash SuperSU unless some apps you have require it. If it doesn't, Just use the SuperSU I've linked to see if it works.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] solquest3:
You can find gapps here:

http://opengapps.org/
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Huskied:
[deleted. ;-;]
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] solquest3:
'Apps and ADB' is there, so I'll wait flashing SuperSU.

Thanks!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Huskied:
Ah, That's great news! and no problem! ^^
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] n3v3rdi3:

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] honzax111:
hi, thanks for nice rom, great work!

I am just wondering whether is it somehow possible to use this rom for call in top down position - like the default alcatel dialer app (can switch microphones and speakers) - i used this feature in stock rom a lot

Tried to switch lineage dialer app for default one from stock but got FC, guess its a wrong way... any idea?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jadfa:
Only front camera!

Tried the latest ROM, but have a big bug: only front camera is working! The icon to switch back/front camera only change zoom level, and available resolutions, but not the camera itself: i still see myself on the screen :confused:
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] P A:
is this still alive? :/
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] solquest3:
After using this rom for one month I think to go back to stock 5.0.2 (nothing so much better than that and worse battery life): is it possible, having that backup?

Thanks.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] PyotrV:
I'm using it but don't know if the developer is still realising security fixes or if he plans to try to get nougat to this phone
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] newbie_or_not_newbie:
Hi

I'm using nova launcher with this rom.

How can I uninstall the app in twrp, if it's possible ?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Is anyone having issues with google apps and this rom since the last 2 days? (everything was running flalessly since the April update). Like if google applications had been automatically updated and now they keep crashing. Settings also keep crashing when I try to enter the applications menu so I cannot reallly disable anything to investigate. I did a wipe but it did not helped.. I'm not too sure what I should try next.

Thanks in advance if anyone had advises.

Richard
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Richard Langlois:
I wiped and now I reinstall my applications one by one, so far so good. I'll post if I find what caused the issue
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ukiz:
Just checking... can we expect any updates of the rom (which is working great for me, thanks [MENTION=7821916]alecbl[/MENTION]) or is this project dead :( ? Anyone aware of alternatives? Any info would be appreciated, thanks!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] pashapuma:
Los 14.1 ??soon?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stayboogy:
to OP:

you should learn to use github, and post your device sources for others who would like to fix the problems with this rom for the community

and

it's part of the terms here at XDA to post open sources with any rom release.

I am currently building LineageOS 13 and 14 for this device, but I am running into just a few issues that might be easier remedied if I had your device tree...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=6963665]ukiz[/MENTION] [MENTION=5759270]pashapuma[/MENTION]

Not declared dead. Just stalled, for many different reasons. I have been building security updates for personal usage but didn't post because no bug fixing and I had the sense no one cared for the security patches (maybe I was wrong).

Here's updates from last month security patches:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298974852

Recovery also got some bug fixes:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634789021

No other bug fixing. The audio headphones bug is particularly annoying.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to build for security patches for current month because... Had lightning strike at my place and totally destroyed all my computer infrastructure. Even the network cable wiring got damaged and with new hardware can't associate at more than 100mbps. Haven't been able to recover from that yet, and don't have a build environment to work on.

But I think there's a chance new blood just came in, someone asked me for the sources. I'm glad.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=5169352]stayboogy[/MENTION]

You didn't even gave me 24h to reply before feeling the need to remind me of the terms. It wasn't bad faith. Mostly I was holding on to the hope of cleaning it up a bit before uploading. As the device tree stands.. It was just too shameful :)

If you had read my posts you should be chill. I had already stated multiple times I would provide the sources if asked, and that I was 100% open about it to the point of not even caring if people would give credit. I also would not ever abandon the project without at least posting them.

Here it is though:

Kernel sources:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298974858

The kernel ones are neat. You have all alcatel's bull**** packed up in a few commits so it's easy to see what changes they made to upstream. It's also easy to see they have some out-of-tree files because they changed the Makefiles in some parts. Ultimately I was hoping to merge them back in and was doing work on that for 1.2.9 branch but haven't finished yet. (As it is you can just rebase on top of 1.2.9 and it will work for Nougat, kernel-wise).

PS: You need to add wifi-prima sources to the tree, I have those elsewhere but they're 100% upstream, can get them from codeaurora.

Device tree:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634789019

This is messy. But it's what I got atm.

There's also a patch for lineageOS to stop it from disabling doze when a device has no motion sensor:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195919095

PS: Device tree has a firmware bin there etc, because I was exploring the idea of updating modem firmware to the more recent one, because of Nougat. If you port to Nougat one of the issues you'll run into is that video drivers won't work. You can get more recent ones from qualcomm or other brands (oneplus one's work).

[MENTION=5169352]stayboogy[/MENTION]

It's been hard for me to work on this, but if you do your work somewhere accessible (like github), I would really appreciate it. It might give me the chance at some point of being able to contribute again in the future.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
One last thing. The last build of LineageOS I was able to make didn't get july sec patches for LineageOS, but it did get the latest upstream kernel (out close to the end of june).

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stayboogy:
it's all good dude.

this thread is long so i didn't read the last 40 pages so i wasn't sure if you had sources or not. and we're working together here, maybe my post come off wrong or rude, sorry, no offense meant I assure you.

all my work is always public since i have an affinity for working on "obscure" devices.

here's my cm 12.1 trees: https://github.com/stayboogy/stayboogy_cm12_idol347

here's my github profile: https://github.com/stayboogy?tab=repositories

---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

you'll find and i think others have alluded to it in this thread, the cyanogenmod msm8916 kernel is malformed in qcom power driver and has sever battery issues with the 4.7 device. i think it works just fine for the 5.5, but alcatel made several changes due to the particular processor in 4.7 to make battery life more efficient and keep it from draining crazy fast. my initial builds of 12.1 using the cyanogen kernel source all produced these undesired effects and after diff-ing the two sources i was able to locate the issue.

initial work on my end shows that lineage 13 works with my kernel source.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] k500zm:
Hey alec - welcome back - sorry to hear about the lightning strike - hope you get everything up and running again soon ;)

edit - Thanks for the updates - Have tried the recovery which works ok except there is still the "Unable to mount" error at the end of Backup/restore.

Thanks for the security updates.

It's great to have you [MENTION=5169352]stayboogy[/MENTION] on board also ! - hopefully we will have some new versions of this great rom soon.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Here's an update for current security patches:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298975506

Kernel is bumped to LA.BR.1.2.7_rb1.46, LineageOS is up to date.

I'm hopeful there will be improvements soon enough given [MENTION=5169352]stayboogy[/MENTION] is getting involved too.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] k500zm:
Nice one - Thanks alec :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ukiz:
All this sounds like good news to keep our little phone alive. Looking forward to the updates of the rom!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stayboogy:
in my most recent build of lineage 13 smart lock settings are being preserved across reboots. you might still get a splash info screen but the settings stick.

smart lock is reliant on gapps, so you have to at least have pico (minimal version) gapps for it to work. you may actually have to have a google account set up and the google app installed, though I'm not completely sure.

i just notice it is not a present bug as mentioned in the OP.

more to come as time progresses.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] honzax111:
bootloop

Hi, guys, strange thing happened. I was updating some of my apps from play store (x-plore fileman, mapy.cz) to latest version, while phone rebooted. OS was loading until "starting apps" window appeared, then it rebooted again and so on. Did successful factory reset thru twrp, updated the same apps and the bootloop happened again. Same happened with stayboogy's rom. Any help? Rom is really good, nice work!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] thearc77:
Was provocated by X-plore, is related to LOS 13 and Gapps and possibly SuperSU. There is another apps with same bugs but i do not remember right now

Avoid that app.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stayboogy:
Xplore is for sure the culprit, happens on my builds as well
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] prokaryotic cell:
Also getting bootloop as soon as Greenify is installed. Had to remove the app folder using TWRP in order to boot.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stayboogy:
all you have to do is use an older version of the apps in question. this fixed the issues i was having before with apps causing bootloops
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jadfa:
Camera still doesn't work for me!

Even bundled app doesn't work on my phone! I only have front camera, no way to get the back one, even with the button to switch from one to other :crying:

Tried with Simplemobiletool camera, same.

Any idea?

Edit: tried Stayboogy rom and it's cam bundled app works well... probably a difference in the tree?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stayboogy:
possibly
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jadfa:
Camera problem is back... but i have the solution ;)

Sad but the problem reappeared with Stayboogy rom; but this time with the message: "can't connect to camera".

Seems a known bug on Galaxy S3 and many others phones.

So you have to erase application data and cache, and it reworks... for a moment...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stayboogy:
something is wrong with your device or actual hardware of the camera because i have no problem at all with the camera on any rom of mine and i use it daily.

you being the only person posting about means it is most likely your device
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] thearc77:
Another file managers are producing bootloop, Nova Companion, Lawnchair launcher and list go on... Is a pitty :(

I can't get was is the cause and is frustranting.

Edit: Chronus get an update, reboot, no boot loop but BLACK SCREEN!! Oh my god
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] LucasPlayMG:
I installed the ROM more, after spending a few minutes from nowhere it started to give stopped in all applications and in the system, it is much faster than the stock more for that mistake I had to go back to stock.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] thearc77:
And now the last Nova beta came into reboot and black screen.

Perhaps is time wipe but i'm afraid getting the same scenario.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] solquest3:
Hello.

In may I installed this rom coming from stock rom with 8+8 Gb, having done that backup before (so now on my pc I have the file Backup_14052017.bak.).

Now I'm thinking of going back to that rom, so I think I should restore that backup.

On that thread I've been told that personal78 bricked his phone...

Is there a safe way for restoring that backup?

alecbl will you create LineageOS 14.1 for idol 3? I really like this device, but I have not found so far an Android ROM 7, only for version 5.5
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ukiz:
The latest Nova official release 5.4.1 causes immediate boot loop. Delete the app folder in TWRP to fix.

I'm on 20170731 version of the rom. Seems that more and more legit apps are having this issue. Does anyone know what's going on?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] thearc77:
And with new build still happens. Even without root and gapps same results

Any chances to get september security patch build? Blueborne is a bit scary
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
You can check LineageOS gerrit here: https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/status:open+branch:cm-13.0

Patches haven't been accepted/reviewed yet. Same as last month... It has been slow. There's pull requests but haven't been accepted.

I'll build as soon as they clear them, but in the meanwhile... don't use BT if it worries you? Question is... what are you gonna do with your car, and your TV, and etc (Not to mention the morons that decided that bluetooth and wifi are good **** to have on pacemakers and insuline pumps).

Blueborne is troublesome. Ppl might downplay it like.. ah well requires proximity. Well just needs a malicious actor to compromise a delivery guy's gadget they bring (it normally has bluetooth), and normally goes door to door. Or just go to a mall garage and sit there waiting, compromise some cars.. ppl tend to use phones on those too. Yes it requires proximity, but plenty of good ways to get malicious payload to spread pretty far.

But reality is.. every month on android is a **** show. The media framework is always awful. There's always criticial vulns in image/media parsing that are enough to get enough privileges to access all media (so photos and all). Month after month.

Also probably the vast majority of android phones will never get updated.

A part from the kernel vulns for september, and the android vulns... We also got a bug on libomxvdec... I'm gonna need to see if I can replace that blob with some other that's patched... and I'm not even sure there's any msm8916 getting patched. Alternative I guess is to just drop it and loose video decode acceleration... but no one will want that.

Welcome to the **** show that's android.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
I entertain that idea.. but to be honest haven't had the time, and motivation has been diminishing. So to be fair, I doubt I'll put the effort into it (and it would be a lot of effort, and possibly for worse results in terms of having everything working). I'm already decided to get rid of having a smartphone all together. I just don't think it's likely I'll end up doing that alone anymore. I was excited when stayboogy joined in.. but that was really short lived, it seems he went away already.
