Expect a build soon with:

- Location battery drain fixed

- the workaround for front camera darkness (HDR still makes cam crash)

- post-processing fixed

- fm-radio working

- leds regression fixed

I'll get it posted in less than 12h. I won't do too much testing so things might go wrong, but I want to rush this out today. Hey, like it says on the OP it's not even at beta stage yet. I'll be more careful with regressions when we reach beta stage.

Next on the list as high priority is to look into a user who reported a battery drain issue with bluetooth coupled with a smart watch.

There was also a report about wifi going off in sleep mode, but that seems to afflict few people and no logs have been provided yet. It's gonna be hard to get a clue about this given I've failed to reproduce it.

Other known issues atm:

- Camera crashes with HDR, and there's other misbehaving issues. It's usable though.

- Carrier ID shows a numerical ID instead of name.

- Some people had been able to use USB OTG in read-only mode only on some apps. (I don't have any usb-otg stick to test).

- I've seen some apps randomly crashing, always on pipe usage (notorously apps that use root + toybox combined). Those crashes show up on the logs but don't seem to impact the usage of the app.

TODO list is still quite big. Worthy mentions are cleaning up init-rc scripts and adding f2fs support.

CyangenMod 13,0

Hello how can I download the updated CyangenMod 13,0 for Alcatel OneTouch IDOL 3 4.7 to install
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Now you can. It's up on the OP.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Ok, so finally a new build is up. I hope the fixes really settle many of the reported issues. I decided to take a day off to get this out this monday, otherwise it might have dragged for a couple weeks. If the build works well for you, you enjoy using it and can afford to donate, please consider it. Thank You.

[MENTION=3136584]ChrisPNE[/MENTION]:

If you look at those battery usage numbers, it's off the chart (33 Ah). I went to test it and found the same behaviour. What looks to me is that the reported battery consumption is totally wrong, but not the real battery usage. Of course that makes using the battery stats app much harder. I have that as something to fix for next build.

[MENTION=5463381]jani0417[/MENTION]:

Wiping is the safer way to go. Sometimes it isn't needed but that kind of depends on what's changed.

[MENTION=7789437]Reivnek[/MENTION]:

I find fastboot to be the easiest way to flash a recovery.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ChrisPNE:
That makes sense. I had Bluetooth turned on for 10 minutes yesterday morning and then turned it off as I was working around an aircraft yesterday (transmitting devices including smartwatches are a no no).

I still had significant battery usage by Bluetooth reported in Battery Stats so what you said makes sense.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] kostya251977:
put CyangenMod 13.0 from 08.11.16 so far everything seems okay, 2 times was a mistake gallery, not always shows photos in the camera. Still testing for the firmware thanks. and for your work thank you
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] kostya251977:
Hello you can do something on CyangenMod 13.0 double tap like on the original firmware for the lock screen and the option to cover books? if possible. it's just also very convenient.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] heross:
If you use Nova Launcher you can enable doubletab in homescreen.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
New build is up (09/11/2016). The bluetooth thing proved too annoying at messing up battery stats to not fix it quickly. This should make everything working, or at least very usable for most people.

[MENTION=4163557]neutrinobox[/MENTION] [MENTION=7348525]franklinvb[/MENTION]

Could you guys test today's build for the wifi going off issue? It's not that likely it improved, but possible. I haven't been able to reproduce it so it makes it harder.

[MENTION=4163557]neutrinobox[/MENTION] [MENTION=6542271]Phantom410[/MENTION]

Still having LTE connectivity issues on latest build?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] heross:
Oohhh,

i have todays build flashed twice. First without wipe and many apps force close. Then i have flash clean after full wipe. But now i have no more a MAC address, no simcard, no wlan.

Now i do restore my DeckerMM backup and hope this bring back my sim and wlan.

Edit: restore Decker backup have modem not bring back :(
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] thinkertank:
This is strange, as the cm13 flash zip only overwrites the system partition.

Today I tested the official russian mm from here: http://www.decker.su/2016/06/alcatel-idol-3-47-6039y-android-601-marshmallow.html, as i still not got the official mm update in europe. This update should have the modem partition also. (I hope the cm13 will give better battery results with a mm modem? )
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Something went wrong with you but I doubt it's the ROM's fault. The changes were minimal and shouldn't impact your restore anyway. It seems like firmware/modem partition might have gotten messed up?

Are you talking about twrp's backups? Do you have backups of all partitions?

Plus, it's still early but no one else has reported anything like that. At worst you could have lost wifi (and got it back after restoring backup), because wifi is using a bin file on /system, and that's one of the very few changes on this update.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=7223418]thinkertank[/MENTION]

If you get an opinion about how the battery fairs on the stock russian MM compared to this ROM I'd appreciate the info :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Phantom410:
Yeah, issue still there. No LTE, just in case, the band used in my country is band 4.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] heross:
So,

i have flash the Decker R2 (include modem partition) and i have wifi, MAC and sim back. After this i have restore my old Decker R2 Backup and Wifi/MAC/sim also ok. Now i must only restore fastboot, but this is no problem.

I think i wait now for a later CM13.

Last weeks i have CM13 use with Decker R2 modem partition and battery was nice 5 Days with more as 1,5h screen on are no problem. I have no compare to other modem.

At this time i think Decker R2 is the best rom for 6039y. It is smother, no lags and have more free ram.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Ok, but it's very weird, like thinkertank said before, flashing this build would only replace your /system partition. Also previous build was working for you before which makes me unable to think of a reason for the fault to lie in this build.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] heross:
Last build i have updatet without problem. 11/9 build i have installed in same way. flash rom-flash gapps-flash xposed-wipe cache/dalvik-reboot. After i have do this many google apps force close, setup assistent force close. So i must reboot to twrp and wipe data and then after reboot i had no more modem, no MAC, no IMEI usw.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] kostya251977:
on 13 cm radio seems to work, ship stations on the wired headset but not singing.No sound .contact photo for calls not Kingdom
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Read the OP Known issues section.

I couldn't understand the last part about contact photo/calls/Kingdom. Can you expand on that?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] thinkertank:
Here's my experience so far:

I was too happy for the new release, so I flashed it over the stock russian rom.

I always use roms set up to maximize battery life with constant data connection on - 4g/lte. I remove bloatware, and every google stuff (except maps). I use microg, and blankstore, fdroid instead.

My experience with lollipop roms: stock western eu debloated 5.0 rom - the best discharge rate I could get was 0.3%/hour overnight. (LTE on, viber on (6 wakeups/hour)).

With a similar cm12.1 setup, the best I could get was 0.7%/hour.

With your latest cm13 build everything seems to be working for me. So thank You very much for the work! :)

Battery could be still improved as I got 1.1%/hour (latest cm13, lte on, no gapps, no microg, no blankstore, viber - 6wakeups/hour, davdroid). From 6 hour of sleep, the phone was awake for ~ half an hour.

1% per hour could be bearable, but I could get through the day more easily, if the idle drain is lower.

Also, I searched for doze mode, some say google services are required for that? The app 'Check Doze' says, the the phone not supports it, but i am not sure if it has legit results.

I am suspecting the kernel or the modem could cause this issue?

As far as I know, there is no modem in your cm13 builds, so I will try to experiment with putting back the stock 5.0 modem (is it the efs partition in twrp?)(previous builds worked with that, but also after flashing this russian 6.0)

Also I will go back to the russian 6.0, and test it overnight.

I attached the BetterBatteryStats logs (for the timeframe: the BBS custom reference point was set before I put down the phone, before 00.00, and one alarmclock was set for 6.00).

Also an another possible bug (was also present in cm12.1): in the Settings battery stats - wifi seems to be always on, although it is turned off (BBS says the same too).

Thanks for the great work! :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] franklinvb:
The WiFi issue still there, automatically turn off after five minutes. Everything else its perfect!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] thinkertank:
I got the measurments from the stock russian 6.0.

I removed a lot of bloatware, all google ( except maps), a lot of alcatel stuff, some qualcomm. Then I restored my apps and accounts with oandbackup.

The result was 0.3%/hour.

There seem to be much less app activity, when the phone sleeps.

The kernel wakelocks, and the Cyanogenmod System activity seems to be the main culprit.

I'll try to disable/restrict apps with privacy guard on the cm13, also make a comparison with data off.

I really hope that we can figure this out, as i prefer cm13, the stock rom feels laggyer, and cm13 is a much cleaner start.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] thinkertank:
One idea: would it be possible to test this rom with stock kernel? Maybe that could help sorting out the battery problems.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=7223418]thinkertank[/MENTION]

Yes, one should be able to run stock kernel, at worst one might need to update the bootloader stack. Also iirc stock kernel was built with wifi as module, so you'd need to change that module, and wtv else kernel modules there are on /system to the same versions, so it would involve changing /system aswell. Plus, stock kernel isn't patched for some recent security issues (nor is stock MM up to date with android security patches). To me that's a deal breaker and removes one of my main reasons for this rom.

Turns out Doze mode isn't enabled on the ROM. You can do adb shell dumpsys deviceidle force-idle, and it should tell you it's disabled. You can manually enable it with adb shell dumpsys deviceidle enable. But that will go away next reboot. So that should account for a big difference in idle time battery consumption. I'll fix that next rom.

In the meanwhile I also got a reasonable lead as to why a few people have wifi disconnecting issues on screen-off. And I'm also gonna test flashing baseband from russian MM stock and see if that helps too with the battery. (And hey, maybe that's the key to also fix the LTE connectivity issues a few people had on 6039A).

So you need to be patient. Next rom will be a bit better and polished, most likely, but it will take some time because I can't keep dedicating so many hours to this.

I'd guess by christmas this ROM will be doing pretty well. The only issue I haven't looked at further, and have little motivation to do so is fixing the camera.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=7223418]thinkertank[/MENTION]

Forgot to thank you for the thorough feedback on the battery :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Phantom410:
[MENTION=7821916]alecbl[/MENTION] I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but I forgot...

When I first tried decker r2 upload I had no LTE till I recovered modem/firmware partition from cm12.1, then I had LTE but no lockscreen, after that I copied some files from the cm12.1 modem into the MM modem and both worked!

This on a 6039A
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=6542271]Phantom410[/MENTION]

You could try to set all the firmware back as stock (5.0.2) and then try LTE. I would imagine most people are running their stock firmware, and almost everyone has LTE working.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Phantom410:
Yup, I did use the alcatel program to restore back to stock today, but when I flashed your rom I still had no LTE
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Phantom410:
Another problem I'm having, I have a smartwatch, and I have smart locked set up so that when it's connected I don't have to unlock the device, but whenever I reboot the phone I have to set smartlock again.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DonGrinch:
Extended storage?

Hi guys,

maybe a silly question, but does this rom work, if I have extended the internal storage to 16GB?

I would love to have CM13 but kinda hate to go back to 8g internal storage again. Thanks for the work!!!

P.S. HOW do you thank people in this forum? there is a thanksometer but i cannot find a thanks button
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] PyotrV:
About the thanks button at least in the mobile app there is a button similar to the Facebook like button to say thanks
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] thinkertank:
Yes, it works fine with extended storage - at least on 6039y European version.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Just to give an update for the interested people, I've been tackling the idle battery issue past days. It was quite time consuming.

Tracking it down to the modem was easy. But debugging that proved quite hard. It sucks when one is dependent on closed source, undocumented stuff. Eventually had to resort to trial and error. Which was also very time consuming. But finally got it fixed.

Also fixed radio and the bluetooth toggle thing, but that wasn't worrying me much and was rather quick.

I'm hopeful for a release that will make people happy around christmas or new year's eve.

Just wanted to share that.

Also, if you can please donate! Make my christmas better.

[MENTION=7223418]thinkertank[/MENTION]

Pinging you in particular, thanks for bring the issue up and documenting it. I feel reasonable confident that we'll get at least as good battery as on stock, hopeful we can do better even.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] kostya251977:
Hello thank you very much for your efforts. You can update the sample you have to ask SM 13. I would be very grateful.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] thinkertank:
WOW, this is awesome news. :D You are the first one, who seriously tracked down the problem concerning this device.

Would be happy to test experimental builds.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alan349:
So, I just flashed it with open gapps arm (normal, not 64) 6.0 pico, and play store didn't showed up after boot..

Am I doing something wrong?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] m4z1k:
Same for me. I tried to wipe system and install again with no luck...I put vending.apk in system with right permissions and it's working.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alan349:
So u downloaded the apk and "installed" it as system app to make it work?

EDIT:

Doing it here just give me a "Google Play Store stopped working" message...

EDIT2:

By "permissions" you mean the app permissions? Like storage, contacts, etc or something else?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] m4z1k:
Nope, read and write permissions in file explorer with root mode.

You have to put vending.apk in a "Vending" folder in system/priv-app/ and set the permissions like others apk in other folders: -rw-r--r--

Then reboot the phone to install.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
OP updated with list of known issues. It also marks the progress forward for the next release.

For those asking to test the new build. It's not ready yet. It will take a while. I've started with a new device tree (had originally cloned pivoq's), and so it will take some time. Releasing now for people to experience several regressions isn't fun. Just be patient :) Also the list of known issues is long (as you can check on the OP). Some are important, some are easy fixes. I intend to fix at least half that list before next release.

Aim for christmas / new year.

After using the rom for 1 day without problem, suddenly my device started to non-stop rebooting. Tried factory reset and didn't worked as well. To solve it I had to restore my backup from previous rom...

Any ideia of what could have happened?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Reivnek:
Best rom ever!!

I have this rom for some times and i am happy to say that is a good rom

i have noticed 4 bugs..

1. .The camera bug witch can be fixed by using +2 on manual exposhure(In camera app settings)

2. The radio not working (i don't listen to radio so i don't care)

3. Battery saver screen is not working as it should( to fix that make a battery mode togle in notification bar and select any mode...after that it will work again)

4. sometimes apps think i am in tablet mode ( youtube thinks i am in tablet mode so fills the screen even when i am in portrait,when in portrait notification bar is bigger than usual and things like the date is half hidden because the sistem thinks is a tablet and the phone thinks is in landscape mode even if i hold the phone in portrait...note that any other thing shows in portrait like the launcher settings and even web pages)

not much to say...is ALMOST the perfect rom...way better than the stock rom for shure
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] k500zm:
Nice Rom - thanks - cant wait for the next update.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Updated OP with a new build.

Decided to publish earlier than planned because unfortunately it's gonna be the last feature-fix build. (I'll probably make another if there are regressions reported, but not for new fixes).

The community response was rather weak, at least in terms of donations, and I'm not that motivated given the ROM is fine for my personal usage. Only two people donated, one of which had a special request that I fulfilled. Maybe because the device isn't that new, or popular, and it's too small a community.

Hope you all enjoy it and all goes well.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Some kind of log would have been nice to be able to answer that.

I haven't seen anything like that happen at any point during the development of this ROM, and no one else reported such issue. Do you use any app with root permissions? Installed anything like that? xposed module etc?. Because /system is read only unless using root permissions so it won't be changed. Places that do get changed are on /data which got reset by the factory reset, so for it to behave differently than the first time you installed it, it's likely you changed /system somehow (maybe by way of some app with root permissions).

If you're extra sure nothing got changed on /system, then reproducing the issue and grabbing a log, if possible, would be quite helpful.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alan349:
The only things i've "changed" in /system was install Viper4Android and Play Store (vending.apk).

I'll try your new build, but is there a boot log or something that I could show you to help if the problem happens again? (Sorry, I have little knowledge in this area).

EDIT:

So.. The new build doesn't seen to recognize my SIM card for some reason, but strangely *#*#4636#*#*( idk the correct name) detects the Network name.

EDIT:

Tried to flash new build over the your old one (09/11) and it started detecting the SIM, BUT still not detecting any mobile network. SIM settings are all gray.

Ty for the report. I kind of expected some regressions. I'll very likely fix it quickly.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Sparkey159:
My device seems to get stuck on the boot animation whenever a xposed module is activated.

I managed to get a logcat, not sure if its useful though.

Sorry if the logcat is useless, i'm still new to this. :p

Thanks.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
The logcat is fine thanks.

Any xposed module or a particular one? Was it working on previous build? It seems you have selinux set to permissive, was that intentional?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=7085813]Sparkey159[/MENTION]

A recent security patch, from google, broke Xposed. You need to wait for it to get fixed.

https://github.com/rovo89/XposedBridge/issues/129
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Sparkey159:
It seems to happen with any module, I tried disabling each module one by one and it seemed to hang with all of them.

I think my selinux is set to permissive because of an audio mod I'm using. I'll try again without it tomorrow.

Thanks.

Edit: Just saw your other post. Oh well, I can live without xposed for now :p

Thanks for the quick replies too!

Thank you for the new build. For me the problems are :

- Brightness set to maximum and no way to change it

- Automatic brightness option is no more here in settings

- Battery LED settings are here, but no more notifications LED settings

- After installing Open Gapps, when opening a Google app (gmail, keep,...), a pop-up says "your device is not compatible with google play services"

- No Google Play Store (no vending.apk in system) this app is missing since the previous cm13 update (09/11/2016), installed it manually in system did the trick
