Yup it works :)

But it seems to be taking more time than normal to recognize the network and to connect to 4G, but I don't know if it is a ton problem...

[MENTION=7821916]alecbl[/MENTION] Thank you for the latest build! The idle battery life is awesome! I was able to test it only for 5 hours, and there was 0% percent discharge. Better than stock so far! I will keep testing, and return back.

Thank you very much! :)

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
OP Updated. Should be all right for everyone now, and the best build so far.

There's a slight delay on turning on data at first boot (minor thing, I have an idea what causes it and might fix it in the future).

I'm not very happy with how adaptive brightness behaves under very dark conditions. On the other hand our light sensor sucks and doesn't discriminate very well under very low light. I might tweak it in the future but given that limitation it won't be ideal in either case.

Apparently recovery has issues flashing .img. I'll update it at some point to fix that, and to support F2FS (it was built with the previous kernel which doesn't support F2FS as well).

If there's anyone that still has the Wifi issue please report, if not I'll remove that from the list of known issues.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Test today's build instead :) Everything should be fine now, for everyone. Yes, my experience has been that the battery is doing okay now. Hopefully more issues don't show up. People should be able to get better screen time using the phone too. Previous radio battery drain affected the device constantly, not just while idling.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] r3d4:
Just want to say thank you! Impressive work! Nice to see a real dev hacking for the 4.7 Idol 3. :good:

Btw. do you use the stock Alcatel MM Kernel or the generic Qualcomm Kernel included in CM13?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Using CAF msm-3.10 branch LA.BR.1.2.7-rb1.34. I took alcatel's drivers from their kernel sources and added those to that branch, along with the dtb.

I think alcatel based their source on LA.BR.1.2.6-rb1.10 or rb1.05, something close to that.

Play Store

Play Store dont install... i try all gapps :/
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:
the same problem for me.. coming from 08/11/2016 (that I love). I had to install manually and it works perfectly.

Took some time before to go from H to 4G.

Now let's go to see if everything is ok.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Gabriel RR:
Fix

I fix creating folder "Vending" in priv-app then put the apk in this folder. I restart and all works.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Opengapps works, i just tested. Wiped everything, flash cm and gapps, wipe caches and reboot. Registered acct on play store etc.

You guys probably arent following open gapps instructions at their website.

Yes it takes a bit for data connection, but just on first boot. It's just a minor issue that shows up on setup wizard.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Putzlappen:
Still no Google Play Store with "open gapps"
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Putzlappen:
For all users who have problems with "GApps" and "Google Play Store", here is a package that works to 100%:

Direct Download

Works like a charm on this rom :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Sparkey159:
I've had no problem using OpenGapps pico on this rom.

In fact, I've never had a problem with opengapps on any rom.

Anyways, hope you guys fix your Gapps problem soon.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:
everything ok with this gapps

after this I reinstalled again the ROM with OpenGapps, but using the version 20161030 that I already used successfully with the ROM ver.08/11/2016 and surprisingly Play Store is there and is working.

I wiped cache and dalvik before and after the installation of the ROM+OpenGapps. No factory reset.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alan349:
I don't know why, but for me this Gapps install play store but doesn't install play services, not allowing the other google apps to work.

All I did was fomat everything but internal storage (/media), flash the rom and this gapps.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=6396216]alan349[/MENTION]

And did you wipe cache & dalvik after flashing everything and before rebooting?

The FAQ in opengapps site says:

A 'Clean' install consists of the following:

Factory Reset (or manually wipe (format) Data partition - Internal Storage wipe is NOT necessary)

Manually wipe (format) your System partition

Flash your ROM

Flash GApps package

Wipe the Dalvik & cache

Reboot

I can reproduce those issues when I don't do exactly those things by exactly that order. But it works otherwise.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Phantom410:
What recovery do you recommend to use with f2fs since you said the one on your post isn't updated?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
if you don't use encryption, the one in pivoq's thread (cm12.1) should be fine. If you do need encryption + f2fs, at the moment I don't think there's any. At some point I'll fix the recovery img flashing bug and update the kernel on it.

Is the rom working well for you? :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Phantom410:
It's been working quite well, I've sometimes see apps restarting, (I think because the phone runs out of memory), but I will do a full wipe now and try the phone with no xposed (and with f2fs) see if that was the issue.

If the problem persists I will try get a log and see what the issue might be, but I don't wanna burden you with more work without first testing myself.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Phantom410:
A quick note to anyone having problems with opengapps, use older versions. I tried the latest one for a while today, follow all steps a few times and had no luck, I recommend this one: (It's pico version, only playstore and playservices, if you want bigger packages go to opengapps site and search older versions)

https://github.com/opengapps/arm/releases/download/20161030/open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20161030.zip
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:
it's the same version I used yesterday to have back PlayStore working.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
I've also been using 30-10 version to test. When I have time I'll try newer versions and see what happens. If it's broken on newer builds I doubt it has anything to do with any changes I've made to the ROM. It might have been recent google commits or something on opengapps. (Like how the 16 november google security patch broke Xposed pre v87).
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Phantom410:
I've tested and I think that the last working version is 10-11, after that one playstore won't show up.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=6542271]Phantom410[/MENTION]

Thanks for that! When I have time I'll look into it. Meanwhile it's no big deal since the apps auto-update so there shouldn't be any issue with installing an older version.

How are you testing that? On what rom build was it better (date)?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:
[MENTION=7821916]alecbl[/MENTION], in another XDA thread you stated that the official MM for 6039Y (Europe distribution) is basically identical to the DeckerSU on which is based your CM13 version. So there is really nothing that you can port from the european version of MM to your CM13 version?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
In this thread a user uploaded a 6.0.1 update: http://xdaforums.com/idol-3/help/mobile-q-upgrade-5-0-0-upgraded-to-mm-t3503405

It's from 19/11 so it's recent. I can't be sure it's the same version people in europe are now getting because I don't know where he's from. If you could upload yours in case you have it we could be sure :)

But I immediately went to check it hoping for something new but was in for disappointment. All the files were the same :(

Anyway what more do we need? All the hardware is working. The things that aren't can be made to work if we want to, and are small things like the flip cover.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:
well, I asked just for curiosity.. I feel ok with your CM13, it's the best ROM I ran in my 6039Y.. I'm very happy with it. Hope you could continue the maintenance of this ROM. I am no more interested in official stock ROM from Alcatel. :good:

[MENTION=5898044]nantzen[/MENTION] [MENTION=6542271]Phantom410[/MENTION]

Next build will have some slight improvements to performance and battery (Zen IO scheduler, cpu governor tweaks), and zram, which ends being very noticeable given our device has only 1.5gb ram (Phantom, this will help the issue you described with low mem) In a very subjective way I feel with those changes it feels better than stock.

Also i'll post the device tree soon (< 1 week).

Lastly, now that we have a pretty good baseline, and I seem to have failed to motivate people to donate. Would people be willing to donate for building another ROM variant with this device tree? Maybe bliss rom, ressurection remix or MIUI 8 / 7.5
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=5898044]nantzen[/MENTION]

Someone, iirc, reported some issue of it being read only. Everything's fine then? I can cross that off the list?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:
only in ver.08/11 it was read only using ES File Manager. However using Root Explorer I was able to read or write.

in ver.25/11 once decided if portable or internal then is accessible from all the file managers

For me, this is the right way to work under MM and the anomaly can be closed unless other people found something different.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Thanks! :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Mannuok:
The truth is that I read your comments and I do not want to update, I have always liked CM and in MM I think it is very good, but the Doze does not work on this computer, and I see that juggling is necessary to get it to work Well, I'm still with Lollipop official because the truth has never given me problems and works very well with Xposed

regards,
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Doze works. As google intended it, it's supposed to wake from doze when you move the device. That's the only part that doesn't work because the device does not have the required sensor. If you ask around, many people prefer the device not to wake up by moving (when I have it in my pocket I would like it to doze). The fact that MM's doze works the way it does resulted in doze only being useful during the night, for most people.

The tweaking I recommended is because doze takes about 1h of standby to turn on. Again, that's by design. That's also something many people wanted to change, and that's why there's so many apps designed to do just that.

In fact both these points about doze turned out to be so popular that Android N has doze working differently (they have some kind of soft doze mode that kicks in quicker).

I could list reasons why I think this ROM is better than stock, but it's subjective and depends on what one values. As I stated somewhere already, I started working on this because I wanted up to date security patch level and SD card encryption (which is only available in MM+). My reasons don't need to be your reasons, and I'm not trying to convince you. I just wanted to clarify what's up with doze.

Xposed broke because android gets updated sometimes, and this time xposed being a 3rd party hack got broken. It was, however, short lived, and the latest xposed version already works with the latest changes. ( v87 ).

In the end, it's up to you and it's subjective. Whatever works for you and you feel good having is probably the best choice.

6039J Dual-Sim 16GB Brazil

Thanks to the developer for not abandoning the 4.7" variant of IDOL3.

The version sold in my country is the 6039J - Dual-SIM with 16GB of internal storage.

I installed the previous released version (23/11). And the last one released (25/11). The ROM on my device was unstable ... because it restarted every 10/15 seconds. Even in the configuration screen, to choose the language and connect to the wifi, the abnormality occurred.

I'm waiting for the next update, so I can test it. And report any imperfections.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] P A:
Hello, can someone tell me what major things do i get and lose in difference to alcatel official and this rom, and do i have to flash rom all over again every time new update comes? I have installed petrov.0 twrp 2.8.7.0 and i backedup my entire phone(everything except external cd card), when i tried to wipe everything except external sd only data and boot was deleted and when i tried to restore only boot got restored, after it i got error 255 or 225 (text was blue). After that i rebooted phone and it started like after factory reset. So i m scared to even use it again, flashing new recovery with it works so is there a better version that will work for sure?

Model:6039y

Android 5.0.2

Stock firmware
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] r3d4:
ROM is working great for me. No problems so far. Imho the best ROM for 6039.

Nice that you enabled signature spoofing, so microG (incl. GCM) runs perfect.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=7898147]wender.ijui[/MENTION]

That behaviour is unheard of as of yet. And I think there's people around using the rom on the 6039J. If you have such a small time window I guess you don't have time to enable adb so you can get a logcat. What you can do instead is let it crash, go to the recovery and inside /data/tombstones there will be a bunch of files named tombstone_0x, send those to me and we might get a clue what's happening on your device, or at least what process is crashing.

[MENTION=4163557]neutrinobox[/MENTION]

I forgot about that issue. I'll see if I can come up with an idea of what might be the issue. Just in case, and not to insult your intelligence, but are you aware that the expected behaviour is for it to turn on 4G only when using data, and after a while of not using it / having wifi on, it's supposed to downgrade to 3G because it's less battery intensive. Of course as soon as it uses data it's supposed to go back to 4G on it's own.

[MENTION=7192790]P A[/MENTION]

The recovery on the OP mostly works except some minor issues. One of which is that it doesn't flash .img's, only .zip's. On the CM 12.1 thread (pivoq) you have a recovery that also works, but does not support encryption.

[MENTION=1074934]r3d4[/MENTION]

Thanks for the positive feedback. Yes, I also use microG and it was bothersome to always have to patch it after installing. I see no real disadvantage to having it come already patched.

[MENTION=7131127]kostya251977[/MENTION]

You need to make a better effort at english.

I don't know when I'll post a new build. I haven't had much time and up till now I only made some minor improvements. I'm gonna see if I fix something off the OP list that's an actual fix. If I don't get around to it for lack of time etc, at least I'll post a new build for December security patch level. Usually google posts them at around 5 or 6th of each month, and CM tends to take a week or two to implement the patches.

@Gabriel RR

The other user that brought up the possible wifi issue seems now to be inclined to think it was an issue with his router. No one else seems to have had an issue with wifi. Unless you go test this build: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862678506 (from 08/11), and then test the current one, and conclude that there is indeed a regression between those two, I'm not gonna pursue this further for now.

Can it be a problem with the radio ?

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] wender.ijui:
6039J - Brazil

Thank you for your interest in the variant used in Brazil. As the Alcatel subsidiary in Brazil, it will not release the update of Android 6 (Marshmallow) for the only variant of Idol 3 (4.7 "), sold here.

I installed the last released ROM (25/11), and installed it together with Open GApps (ARM / 5.1 / Pico).

Already on the screen choose the language, connect the wireless network ... and following screens. The device restarted continuously (hangs and restarts). It took me about 40 minutes to get it set up and started up in the middle of so many system reboots.

I believe I was able to capture the file you requested. I leave the link below (I tried to show the link of my Google Drive here, but the forum does not allow ... I do not know how to send the file) ... because I do not know how to post by XDA.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=7898147]wender.ijui[/MENTION]

XDA doesn't allow you to post links until you have 10 posts I think. But it is very easy to fool, just remove the "https://" part before and it won't recognize it as a link. Alternatively you can try to send me a private message with the link, by clicking on my screen name a menu should pop up with an option to send private message.

alecbl - I have thoroughly tested the 25/11 [thanks for your work] in my UK o2 6039y and erverything is working great except for 1 big thing

and I have spent all weekend reinstalling and checking to see what is causing this -

The download manager stops working when you restrict any background traffic of anything in Data usage section and reboot the phone !

It took alll weekend to work out what was causing this and stops anything being downloaded by the download manager [playstore etc etc]

Even if you re enable the data restriction/s the download manager will not work again !

Any Ideas ?

btw - love the brightness decrease [I have a totally blacked out phone] and lower cpu tweaks - thanks.

ps I dont use xposed - I keep it pure...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=5380232]k500zm[/MENTION]

Message received. I'll try to reproduce it and investigate.

Unfortunately I've been really busy and odds are I won't have time to make another release in the next weeks. I'll have to put a pin on this for now. It's just as life goes. I haven't abandoned it, and I hope I'll find the time again soon, but for now it's just how it is. I'll really try to push the code to github and maybe make a release bump for security fixes, but nothing more for the next couple weeks. (The only things I had already worked on were some minor tweaks).
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] k500zm:
alecbl- I totally understand - you have also had to deal with the dual sim variants problems which must have been a real headache !

There really is no rush - I also need a break from flashing and testing and just enjoy and set up my new phone [ which will take ages as I really go into detail]

with your amazing rom which has all the features I need and more - I really love it - it is perfect for me. Thanks again.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Putzlappen:
updating

Am I forced to format all partitions to install an update, or is there a way to install the update without losing my data?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
New build is up. There's no new fixes for anyone who's having issues (for the reasons already mentioned before). I checked the opengapps thing but, again, could successfully install the latest versions, so if people still have issues with it I don't know why.

There's a security fix, and some minor adjustments.

Maybe the most significant issue might be zram, for people that might be experiencing low mem after having the phone on for a long time etc and need to reboot, it should perform better.

Zen IO scheduler performs better too. The allowance for lower cpu clock is a bit of a blind bet. I'm not sure it's gonna be better for the battery or not, and it might be the case it's better for some usage patterns and worse for others. For me personally I think the battery is doing pretty well (just had the phone run 4.5 days, 5h+ screen time, some calls on Signal, wifi always on, a bit of web browsing).

If you don't think any of those matter all that much, you can always skip this update. When upstream catches up with december security patch level I'll update it again. It should be in a week or so.

A special thanks for the encouragement and donation's I've received.

OP updated for December 01 security patch level. Nothing else has changed. I guess the upside is there shouldn't be any regressions either :)

Unfortunately it will take me some time to get it to December 05 security patch level. There are many security issues on qualcomm's kernel components and I'll have to integrate the patches one by one. Given the lack of time it might take me a while so I decided to publish this as cyanogen got their security fixes in order.

Hopefully I can still update it this month.
