For recovery I'm still using your recovery-twrp-3.1.0-2017-03-14.img from the original post, but I'd like to ask: This new "recovery.img" that you posted on that comment back in July is a new build of twrp-3.1.0? Is it the one you recommend? (just wanted to double check because of the generic filename and low download count)

Also I'd like to thank you for keeping the LineageOS security updates :good::good::good:, and suggest that you maybe edit the main post to remove the link to the older version and replace it with a mention that further updates are posted as new messages in the thread (so dummies like me who didn't initially read the backlog don't keep using the April version thinking it is the latest one).

Bootloop

Hi,

This was my first custom ROM install, it wasn't easy but I managed to install your 20170408 version on the phone. I started to download the selected apps with Google to "restore" my apps. Kept downloading and installing, but randomly 3-4 times it gave a bunch of error that this and that (Trebuchet etc) stopped working, can't remember the names unfortunately. Ignored it since it kept working but after 20 apps it just went black and started a boot loop. Seemed like it wanted to install everything from the start, just like after a factory reset. Left it for 15 minutes and after the 3rd loop I switched it off and did a factory reset.

What triggered this and do you think it will come back?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jordiet:
This is a long thread now, but a few pages back there are a number of users who reported issues with some apps crashing and so on. It got reportedly fixed in one of the newer images so you should check it out.

In any case, you should always try to use alec's latest image currently late December, which is the whole point of using this ROM in general.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] slamy:
Right after i submitted I saw the december version which I installed. so far so good, no bootloop, no appcrash.

I don't understand why the link isnt updated on the front of the guide
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jordiet:
That would be a good idea as it would avoid some confusion, indeed.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] android_user_jeremy:
can someone point me to a guide on how to install root and install this custom OS to idol 3 phone? The latest TCL update makes the phone unusable with all the junk ads.

[MENTION=7821916]alecbl[/MENTION] - I sent you a PM when you get the chance thanks
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
I'll test this soon.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
I use encryption and it works for me both in the ROM and twrp. Is it possible that however you lost the recovery also caused you to loose the key to decrypt the data? Because that unexplained reflashing of alcatel's recovery is a bit suspicious.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
I stopped updating it for a while because there wasn't anything new... and then there was that issue that affected all sorts of MM rom's in which new apps would lead to boot loops... and I decided to wait to fix that before updating it again. I could swear I had updated it last December... something must have gone wrong. Will update it tomorrow!

Soon I'll see about updating twrp too, I know there's a new version out. (Somewhere in the thread there's also a twrp build I think, more recent than the one on the OP).
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
I'll see about fixing this for next month! (February).

Thank You! :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Here's January security update:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657578364

Tomorrow I'll update the OP.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] k500zm:
Thanks for the update - I tried it but kept getting bootloops at the start and when it did work there was no volume control just maximum volume for all sound !
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
I confirm the loss of audio volume control. Did not run into the bootloop issue though. I'll sort this out as soon as I can. Everyone else might want to wait before updating.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gradinaruvasile:
I dirty installed this over the december version and it pretty much hosed the phone. I did had the volume issue but after the wipe it went away and it seems ok now.

Works pretty good now after i wiped everything and installed from scratch.

Only gripe is with the camera - only the snap camera app can provide good pictures with denoise on, the other camera apps get very noisy ones. In the stock rom all camera apps hat the same quality. Is there anything it can be done about this?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] m4z1k:
Wiped system dalvik and cache, installed over december ROM and no reboot and no lose of audio volume control, open camera also take good picture as before, all is fine for me...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gradinaruvasile:
I had the camera issue since i first installed Lineage OS (the December version). Previously i had the 5.0.2 version (locked carrier device). I did not wipe data, maybe that could cause issues like this?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] m4z1k:
The phone became slow, i reboot and bootloop...wiped again cache and dalvik but same results. Wiped system and reflash the january ROM and i have the volume control problem...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] JcGross:
I don't get it. Trying to run an app from Android studio and it just crashes the whole system. I don't get it, it's just the basic hello world, it should work. And there are other apps from Google store that do the same thing (for example the "94%" game). It just says Trebuchet stopped working. It was the same with CM12. And I can't even delete the app because Trebuchet constantly crashes. Is there a fix for this? And now I can't even find stock rom for 6039.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gradinaruvasile:
You can reinstall the Stock ROM by using the Alcatel Mobile Q Windows program. Just download it, connect your phone in download mode (long press power+vol-up+vol-down then long press vol up when instructed), click upgrade. This will erase everything from the phone and reinstall the stock ROM.

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

Oh well. Turns out the camera has some issues that seem physical in nature, the camera app started crashing and works only after i press the 2 cameras with my fingers. Restored the stock rom with the mobile q program, its the same. RMA'd the phone.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Richard Langlois:
Delayed notifications

Hi

I use a sip phone and different messaging applications on my phone. I've disabled battery optimization for all these apps. However when my phone has been sleeping for several minutes my notifications get delayed. I think the longer it sleep the longer is the delay (I guess the issue is related to Doze). My sip phone is really unreliable because of that. I was wondering if other users have experienced similar issues.

I have another phone running on lineage os 14 and I do not experience this kind of problems with it.

Thanks in advance

Richard
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gradinaruvasile:
Apps that dont use Google gcm can have this issue because of doze.

It really depends on the app, i for example used Conversations for a while compiled from sources with no gcm and was working very well, but when i tried using Riot.im in the same way it was not really working.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] spezitrinker123:
I installed the December release and it works like a charm. Flashing the firmware with the Qualcom tool was a bit tricky but TWRP and ROM went without any issues.

Thanks [MENTION=7821916]alecbl[/MENTION] for your great work! :good: I am really happy that my phone got a second life. :)

Great that there are people like you who maintain alternate ROMs.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gradinaruvasile:
Well the 2018 january release does not work for me. The phone had the camera and screen replaced, they service guys reflashed it again with the default firmware (probably the mobile q tool). I installed the January release on it again and it started overheating. The camera app crashed most times i tried to open it. I also got the reboot loop, it rebooted about 3 times every time i restrated it. Something is wrong with this release, at least for me. For now Installed Resurrection Remix by Amlmx and it is working fine.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] pashapuma:
Please build lineage os 14 or 15
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] honzax111:
Hi, same problem here as gradinaruvasile on January build, three times reboot when restarting, sometimes system uses excessive amount of ram and overheating phone. Camera working fine. December build was OK. Thanks for update anyways, good work!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] beliall:
Hi ,

Im new in root/flash etc things.

Idole 4.7 is now flash with lenage (link in the fisrt post of this thread, and gapps nano), it sims OK.

But I have a Network issue, No Wifi and No sim card, i have the same issue with Résurection remix sooner.

I may need to flash a modem or somethings, Im a bit lost .

Can someone give me somes hints to solve that issue ? I have only a twrp backup of my phone before flash/root.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ukiz:
[MENTION=7821916]alecbl[/MENTION] it would be great to have updated security patches, possibly on the December build, as the January one seems to have problems... Thanks a lot!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jordiet:
Has anyone faced problems with GPS? I'm running the 20171021 build on my wife's phone as it's hard for me to get a nice slot to upgrade it. Since I flashed it, I think GPS doesn't appear to work, or works erratically. If I start google maps, it basically has a wrong location and takes a long time to update to the correct location. Privacy Guard is set to always permit access to GPS for Google Maps. Is this supposed to be fixed in subsequent builds?

Additionally, the camera is not able to find storage space to write photos after converting the SD card into internal storage. Is there anything that can be done to fix this? Thank you!

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

Are these problems general, or just affecting some people here?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ukiz:
I've been using this rom (wife's phone now as well) for well over a year, currently the December release, and never had issues with GPS, it is running flawlessly, I must say. I never used SD card as internal storage though.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Wyldbylli:
4.7 or 5.5

How do I know if my idol 3 is 4.7 or 5.5?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jordiet:
I found a solution for the camera. Just needed to give 20 good minutes to the problem:

If your camera says it cannot access the SD card after reformatting it to internal storage:

- Go to Config → Apps → Camera

- Force Stop the App

- Ideally clear all data

- Restart app and try if it's a happy badger

[MENTION=1367386]uzik[/MENTION], did you ever try the January release? Thanks!

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------

4.7 and 5.5 means the screen size. Internally, they report as 6039 (4.7") or 6045 (5.5"), so you might be able to find that string somewhere in the "About this phone" details.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ukiz:
No, I never bothered to try the January release, after seeing some people report problems with it.

Have you ever tried the Resurrection Remix from [MENTION=6980813]Amlmx[/MENTION]? (discontinued unfortunately :()
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jordiet:
No, I have never tried anything else on this device besides [MENTION=310797]alecb[/MENTION]'s ROM, which works very well. Anything but the original stock ROM would do, anyway. :p
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ukiz:
Hey [MENTION=7821916]alecbl[/MENTION] it would be awesome if you had a chance to update the rom with latest security patches, thanks!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] danieldeak70:
[MENTION=7821916]alecbl[/MENTION] The latest build is buggy annoying, when I reboot... Got a bootlop (few times 4-5) and the 6. restart working... I know something wrong with installer because when I installed the latest build it writes something 'device or resource is busy'...

Can you fix that?

Thanks :fingers-crossed:
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Shaft1963:
Hello,

Someone asked about the RR ROM so FYI:

I am a big fan of the Resurrection Remix for the Alcatel Idol 3 5.5

I Also use their ROM for My Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1

Works great on both devices hope that helps. Shaft
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] kostya251977:
If there are updates or a new build ready to test for performance
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
As a workaround to make the front camera usable, remount /system as rw and do:

mv /system/vendor/lib/libchromatix_s5k5e2_idol347_snapshot.so /system/vendor/lib/libchromatix_s5k5e2_idol347_snapshot.so.bkp

ln -s /system/vendor/lib/libchromatix_s5k5e2_idol347_default_video.so /system/vendor/lib/libchromatix_s5k5e2_idol347_snapshot.so

remount again as ro.

Yes, HDR still crashes the camera, and many other camera apps seem unstable, so there's issues. But at least you can take selfies if you want to.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] heross:
Thx alecbl,

your workaround have eliminated the lags. Now the rom is smooth as stock. After 24h and heavy use no more lags in Menus, by opening a new app and scrolling in list.

Double Tab Bug is also gone. After 12h night DT2W has responded immediately.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] neutrinobox:
I came from CM 12.1 on my 6039Y ... with the damn Android LTE connection bug.

Now on that rom, i still have the LTE connection issue.

When my phone is over 1 hour connectet with Wlan and then i switch off wlan, it shows LTE as "LTE!" with no connection.

I have to switch to 2G and then back to 4G , then it works perfect.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=4163557]neutrinobox[/MENTION]

that looks like an upstream bug. did it work well in stock? try and see if you face the same issue when working with location disabled. Disable location, reboot and don't enable it again until you've either reproduced the bug or are convinced it's not happening anymore.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] neutrinobox:
Hi... location is disabled by default.

With stock Lollipop it works . The Bug came with CM 12.1 and it´s now present in CM13

i always switch to 3G or 2G and switch back to 4G an it works.

Since i deleted the "mm-pp-daemon " the phone crashes in standby, reboots an stuck in "Alcatel One Touch" bootscreen.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
I'm very skeptical that's happening because you deleted mm-pp-daemon. It's not an essential daemon at all. But you can wait for next rom build and see if things got better. I don't have much of a clue about that LTE bug atm, nor has anyone else seem to have complained about it. Maybe when you flash the next ROM you can send some logcats and they contain something interesting.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] neutrinobox:
many people on maxy devices had that bug. But there is no solution.

It´s the same: https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/120995-cm13-lte-doesnt-work/?do=findComment&comment=569692

since i copied back the "mm-pp-daemon" it doesn´t crash anymore.

Ohh, when it crashed my clock was resetet to 1970.01.01 - 1:00am :D

---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

hmmm... my battery whas down to 11% an i see: No Wlan and mobile data @ LTE!

Wlan was switched "on" but no networks are shown.

I switched Wlan off an on an the phone reboots :D
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:

No LED notification

I don't know if it's only me but with the last build, the led is not working anymore for notification and low battery, but works only when plug-in to the charger.

The notification settings are OK and all was working in the previous build.

I tried factory reset ans reinstall last build but it's the same.

If someone can provide me the llink for the previous build i can try if the problem occurs only with last build.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=7835113]m4z1k[/MENTION]

That's entirely possible. The kernel changed by quite a bit, I was hoping for no regressions but at least nothing very serious. It should be easy to reproduce and I'll fix it for next build.

It's gonna include quite a few fixes. I'm aiming to fix the mm-pp-daemon, FM radio, already have a fix for advanced reboot which was broken for some people, front camera won't be dark (but camera in general still has issues). Unfortunately it might take a week, don't have much time now.

In fact up till now the only reported issue that won't get better next build is neutrinobox's described behaviour. Which included a reboot, and is worrisome because it's possibly kernel related, and the minor thing of operator showing ID instead of name.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] neutrinobox:
Hi...

last night i fullwiped my 6039Y an reinstalled that rom. Now the reboots are gone, but i´ve much more battery drain now.

Led notification dosn´t work and still no direct LTE connection.

Wlan go´s into Standby when screen is off. Wlan Setting is at "always on"

ohh i forgot...

the answer to " getprop ro.baseband" : "msm"
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] franklinvb:
Thank you for your work!

I have an annoying problem: the wifi connection turn off automatically every time that the phone is sleeping (the screen off). I don't know why .

I've searched search in Google and others blogs how to solve it, but there's no solution. Someone has the same error?

PS: sorry for my English.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] neutrinobox:
Same Error on my 6039y

The Front camera works perfectly with "open camera"
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:
As I found the same problem, I would like to know which version of nova launcher are you referring to. my version is Nova Launcher Prime 4.3.1. I have a strong battery drain. So, before to go back to stock LP I wish to understand if the issue is caused really by Nova Launcher.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] PyotrV:
I have nova launcher 5.0-beta8. The problem appeared when I turned on the weather in the Google search bar in Nova (it's a new option to have weather there since beta 7) I think that Nova was requesting the weather to the Google app, the Google app was trying to get a location, failing continuously and draining the battery in the process. Now your version of Nova launcher shouldn't bring problems but maybe you have other app doing something similar or there is indeed something wrong with the ROM, although as I said, the problem for me was Nova and disabling the weather function there stopped the battery drain.

The bug for me doesn't appear when I use other location based apps such as maps Google fit or the Google app, and after turning the Nova function down I've been using location always turned on with no problem.

Sorry for the lack of detail in the previous post :P
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:
OK. I will try to play with position, weather apps/provider and related things to find a solution before surrender. Thanks!

report on CM13 after 2 days of usage

After a Factory Reset, I have installed the version 30/10/2016 on my 6039Y (with stock LP 01005, root, TWRP, repartitioned to 16GB and fastboot command restored). I have installed also OpenGaps pico. No problem during installation.

My comments after 2 days of usage:

The ROM comes unrooted so I had to install SuperSU v2.67. Basic functions are OK: phone call, LTE connection, SMS, BT, WiFi, Thetering (WiFi hotspot), repartition to 16GB is maintained! I left my SDcard as portable. What I've found:

-No FM radio! It doesn’t work because it doesn’t recognize that the headset is inserted!

-No network operator name! (same issue on other phone with CM13)

-TapToWake/Sleep is WORKING!

-USB OTG with ES File Manager: only READ is working, but with Root Explorer READ/WRITE/DELETE is WORKING!

-OpenCamera works for front and rear pictures. No dark pictures, no FC switching from photo/video! FC only when switching from front to rear!

-Lock Screen works with PIN

-XPOSED works!

-No lag! No reboot! the ROM is quite smooth

SMAL PROBLEM: I wasn’t able to turn off the LED during charge (very bright and annoying during night)

BIG PROBLEM: I found my battery drains a lot!!!

After the suggestions from [MENTION=6213022]PyotrV[/MENTION], I disabled location from Settings>Location=OFF and now it seems that the battery is going fine! I'll give you more info as soon as I found the origin (app/service?) of the problem.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:
with Location=OFF the battery is not draining anymore.. of course now I have to discover the app or service that causes that drain when location is ON
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] PyotrV:
After some more days with this rom I'm still being affected by this drain, so other apps must be misbehaving besides Nova, turning the location off and on again corrects the problem for some time but what is causing the problem now is a mystery to me, as anyone had better luck in their debugging?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Unfortunately I haven't been able to work much on this. After I get the next build out, which is kind of urgent because of the leds regression, I'll try to track down this issue. In the meanwhile if you could find out if all location options are afflicted (under settings there's Device only / Battery saving / High accuracy), it would save me some time. Maybe the issue comes from GPS only or afflicts only the other two options, etc.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Thanks for the report!

CyanogenMod comes with root by default, but hidden behind developer options. You need to go to Settings / About phone. Then you need to click many times under "Build number" (one of the last rows). That will enable a new settings group called "Developer Options". Under developer options you can turn on Root for just apps or apps / adb, and other stuff like Advanced reboot.

I've made some progress with FM radio btw. It kind of works now, except one doesn't ear anything. Funny enough if we record the radio and then play the recording, you can hear it. I'm unsure if I'll get it fully working for next build or not.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:
oops! my bad! I forgot to activate the developer option. Anyway, SuperSU is working fine at the moment.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jani0417:
[MENTION=7821916]alecbl[/MENTION], when you install a new build, how do you do it? do you wipe everything and flash the new build, or you flash the build over the previous one?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] heross:
GPS only can it not be. I have GPS only any time on and no high battery drain.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] PyotrV:
But remember that the bug is not happening always only with certain apps, for me it as only happened when I activate high accuracy, but I have not been enough time in the other modes, testing battery saving now

Edit: battery saving mode also has the bug

Help

How can you install the new recovery? :D
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ChrisPNE:
Using the 30th October build and it's fantastic. Only noticeable bugs are the dark front camera and massive battery drain when using my Sony Smartwatch 3. Looks like Bluetooth is destroying my battery.

Please let me know if there's anything further I can provide or if you have any advice.
