Yes, you're right. It was working builds ago. I know cause I use it sometimes. Gonna be quick to fix because I also need it working. Don't know when it stopped working.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] newbie_or_not_newbie:

Great work! I wonder if I'm the only one facing this issue but I can't merge my SD card into internal storage... It corrupts it. Is this a known issue ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Phantom410:

I think there are a couple of things alecbl wants to fix [wifi hotspot is one] as he has stated in his previous posts for the next build.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:
[MENTION=5380232]k500zm[/MENTION], in my phone, wifi hotspot works but only after reboot. If you disable and reenable it, then it stucks on "Turning hotspot on..." and you have to reboot again to make it work.

Is this the bug you mention?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] k500zm:
I just heard this was the the case

However, I had a problem with the FM radio - when I put my headphones in - first ok google would kick in [start] and start answering questions - then VLC would start playing at full volume !?

so..

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

key 226 HEADSETHOOK

change to:

# key 226 HEADSETHOOK

Problem solved ;)

Hi

I don't know if it's a bug or if there's no problem :

since a few days, I don't have any update of apps, in play store. It's maybe ok, The apps are maybe already upgraded.

But anytime, I have almost every day one or two apps which update. Now, an entire week without app update.

It's ok, I don't have trouble to sleep because of that but I just wonder if it can be a kind of bug ?

Thanks

Flashed the rom on my 6039Y and it's been running rock solid for a couple of weeks now, awesome work alecbl, thanks!

Some minor issues:

- as already mentioned by a few users, recent versions of gapps give non-working play store and services (I followed the clean install procedure to the letter), version 20161030 works fine though

- wifi hotspot does not work for me.

Keep up the good work!

I rooted my phone but i dont have twrp cuz one i found was bad and nothing but flashing worked. Can i install twrp with flashfire or flashify? My phone has udated security patch so fastboot is"removed", will it affect flashing twrp?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Hello guys. Long time no see.

I updated original post with twrp 3.0.3. Left the previous link on in case there's issues, so you can rollback. New twrp annoys us to install twrp app, but I'll remove that in the future, somehow.

The next build has been delayed because of the tethering issue. I was under the impression it was a regression. It seems I was wrong? At least it seems all the builds have that same issue. So I spent quite a bit of time (12h+) looking into this and I haven't gotten anywhere yet.

Cyanogen is no more, it's been rebranded LineageOs as many of you probably know. I've been building it etc, so it's business as usual but we've lost the boot logo. Upstream lineage os still hasn't updated to patch level 01-01-2017 (even though some of the CVE's have been addressed). I also haven't yet been able to patch all the 05-12-2016 cve's, just some.

I have been having very limited time, as you know, and since I was expecting the tethering issue to be quick, I ended up investing most of it on that. If I don't get anywhere soon, I'm gonna put it on the back for now and just keep updating the security patches.

It's the best I can do for now :(

I did squeeze in the recovery update while waiting for builds to compile.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] P A:
Thanks for hard work! Can i update ur new twrp 3.0.3 with 3.0.2 version(yours as well)?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
No, the 3.0.2 one had an issue with flashing .img files. Only zip files worked. I tend to use fastboot. If you don't have it you can just do it from system with dd.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:
[MENTION=7821916]alecbl[/MENTION] as I stated in one of my previous post (page 28), in my phone, wifi hotspot works but only after reboot. If you disable hotpsot and reenable it, then it stucks on "Turning hotspot on..." and you have to reboot again to make it work.

So if you didn't find a way out then don't waste all of your time trying to fix this issue. In the end tethering is not a function to be used every 5 minutes and if you wait 2 minutes for rebooting the phone it is not the end of the world. So go ahead with LineageOs 14 ;)

This is my opinion.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] P A:
Can i use flashify? I flashed last twrp with it
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] newbie_or_not_newbie:
Hi,

thanks for your work on this excellent rom. Soon I'll give donation, even if it's small...

I have trouble to install twrp 3.0.3, error when try to flash the img with cmd line.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=7192790]P A[/MENTION]

I'm not familiar with flashify but if it's an app you run on the phone to flash .img files, my guess is it just uses dd in the background. If you've used it before it should work. It's not a very dangerous thing either, just make sure you don't update both system and recovery at the same time (It's a bummer if you break both and are missing fastboot). So after you flash the recovery, test it before messing around with system (test that you can at least connect with adb etc).

[MENTION=5461791]newbie_or_not_newbie[/MENTION]

What kind of trouble? what are you doing and what is the error?

[MENTION=5898044]nantzen[/MENTION]

I have been building LineageOS yes, but not 14 :) 13. To go to nougat will require quite a bit of time and has a reasonable likelihood of failing. I tend to get a bit obsessed so it's gonna be hard to let this tethering issue go, it's annoying me a lot. I would like to take a look at nougat but I just don't have the time now, possibly whenever I have vacations (summer?). For now my plan until April or so is just to try to keep up with security patches and fix this damn tethering thing. Afterwards I had the idea of using some of the money people have donated to buy a flip cover and see if I can get that working.

There aren't that many big issues left but there are some. The most important one is people with the 6039J variant seem to not be able to use the rom. I deem that a more important thing to fix, but at the same time I know it's gonna be time consuming and I can't do it now, unfortunately.

What is the problem with tethering?

I can tether and i dont have to reboot for it to work o.o
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] newbie_or_not_newbie:
Well, my trouble is :

So, hard to say where the problem comes from...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=7192790]P A[/MENTION]

What has been reported, and happens on my phone too, is that Wifi tethering works only after one boots without turning on Wifi. For me I also need to turn NFC on once. Only under those conditions can I turn on wifi hotspot. If I then enable wifi at some point, hotspot does not work until I boot again with wifi off and toggle NFC.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=5461791]newbie_or_not_newbie[/MENTION]

Odd. I just downloaded the linked recovery and tried on my phone just to be sure and it worked as expected (using fastboot).

"fastboot -i 0x1bbb flash recovery ~/Downloads/recovery.img

If you google around by "fastboot FAILED (remote: unknown command)" take a look at the first hit. It seems some OTA's for the 6039 disabled some fastboot commands.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=5461791]newbie_or_not_newbie[/MENTION]

You can either try the guide available here at xda about restoring the fastboot commands. Or, you can flash it some other way. The flashify that P A mentioned before seems handy and practical, or if you're comfortable with shell commands just use dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] P A:
[MENTION=7821916]alecbl[/MENTION]

Not even flashify can do it :S

"Error copying the file"
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] newbie_or_not_newbie:
Well, thanks for your help @ all !

I'll try tomorrow to put fastboot commands back with the xda tutorial.

But it's weird, I could flash the 3.0.2 recovery last time.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] P A:
Same goes for me :D, except i used flashify. First twrp flashed like a charm, this one does not :/
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Just test if you can still flash the first twrp. I left the link up and everything :)

It's an odd problem if it only fails with the new one. I'll look into it later. Right now I've been working on the tethering thing and I think I made some progress... we'll see. (All day today...)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] P A:
Failed to flash 3.0.2(same error)

Looks like our phones are the problem :S

As far as i know my phone had no recovery before ur twrp, so maybe thats the problem. In this situation we already have recovery but we are trying to ”update" it
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
I'll post here a test build for people willing to test and give some feedback:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120702222

It looks to me that wifi tethering is fixed. It's also up to date LineageOS. I barely tested it, just finished building. I would appreciate if a few people try it out and report back, it will help make the next release (that goes into the OP) smoother. LineageOS states that the recommended transition from cyanogenmod to lineage is to wipe data. I haven't done so yet and haven't had any issue... but I've been only using it for 5 minutes, but for now I'm tired and logging off.

If you have issues try to factory reset and try again. If the issue stays please post about it, and if possible describing the issue and how you can reproduce it. For those using gapps, I'm also interested if it's still hard to get them to work. I would like to try to fix that before making the next release.

Beware that this has gotten very little testing and there's many opportunities for regressions, from the change from cyanogen to lineage, to a resync of the kernel with LA.BR.1.2.7-rb1.37. Do not install it if you can't quickly rollback your phone or you can't afford to waste some time.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=7192790]P A[/MENTION]

Yeah. Just boot into your system and put the recovery.img somewhere on your phone.

If you know how to use adb, go into adb shell, do su to become root, and use the dd command.

If you don't have adb at hand, you can do it on your phone by turning on the Terminal option on cyanogen (it should be in developer options, something like "Enable Terminal"). It will enable an app called, unsurprisingly, Terminal. Open it, use the su command to become root, and do the dd command.

The dd command basically just writes a file over a partition and is used like this:

dd if=path_to_source_file of=path_to_partition.

so it should be something like this:

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery

"if" means input file. "of" is self-explanatory now.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] P A:
Okay i will do it tumorrow cuz its late now, thanks for advice and great work on fixing tethering and lineageOS release :) :good:

Edit: I got twrp 3.0.3 working with dd comand. :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] newbie_or_not_newbie:
Hi

Thanks for help, I could return fastboot commands and flash recovery 3.0.3.

But another persistent problem since a few weeks : no way to make a backup in twrp.

EDIT: another question : if I install lineage, do cyanogenmod themes work with ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:
[MENTION=7821916]alecbl[/MENTION] update TWRP recovery to 3.0.3 using Terminal Emulator and dd command. It seems the easiest way to do it. thanks!

Edit: everything seems to work. Tethering hotspot now is working right! Just one half day to fix it. Bravo!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=5461791]newbie_or_not_newbie[/MENTION]

They probably do. The fork happened very recently, I doubt much has changed. Plus cyanogen themes will just move on to become lineageOS themes.

You should think what might have changed when you lost the ability to do backups. Obviously it worked before and the recovery I had in there is the same for a long time. When you're in recovery, there's a log file on /tmp/recovery.log. Try to make a backup and take a look at it, it might be more informative. Also after trying to make a backup look at the output of 'dmesg', it might have some sort of clue as to why the tar process is failing.

A possibility is that it's trying to backup a corrupt file...

All those of you missing the fastboot commands might be worthwhile to check the thread about restoring them. I just find it so convenient to use fastboot, and it's a good safeguard when I screw up both recovery and system. If you don't have it you're only left with the option of using a flash tool, not only it's a big hassle it has the potential of bricking your device.

damn that's a big post... please put those logs on some text pasting site like pastebin and link here, instead of posting it directly.

There's a permission error. It's a tad strange if it's a rom error but should be easy to fix. What often makes this type of error is not wiping data. Did you factory reset?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] __WhoAmI__:
Anyone knows how I can update recovery by Linux?? I don't have a Windows, but I would try the Lineage OS. I have to have twrp 3.0.3 in order to instal new OS ?

I got the same error, you just have to manually give all the permissions to google play services and things start to work fine :P, I'm testing the ROM and it seems that most of the things are fine, maybe still some problems with tethering but need to test more
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Phantom410:
Yeah, I did a full wipe before flashing the new version, but I had forgotten that older versions of opengapps worked, so I flashed an older one and they work just fine. Seems to be an issue with newer versions

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
Ok so it's business as usual. When I have the time I'll try and see if I figure out why there's this issue with gapps. At first I was hoping it was an issue that would go away by itself with further updates, but it's now apparent I'll need to do something about it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
You don't need recovery 3.0.3, 3.0.2 should allow you to install the zip just fine. On linux you have adb and fastboot available as well.

I started testing your lineage build as well. Hotspot seems to fixed now! Thank for the great work! :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] wender.ijui:
I have the model 6039J (Brazil). I tested the LineageOS available. I no longer had the problems of continuous reboots of the device. The only problem I encountered was GApps (Play Services) that did not work.

I followed the recommendation of the forum colleague here to use the older GApps - and Play Services worked. Only Google Play (store) remains with an error or bug ... download pending (and not low at all). I cleared the app cache, but it did not solve the problem.

I do not know if the problem is the same that we faced in this ROM of LineageOS and the tutorial I found to correct the problem of Play Services (most current); Which mentions Google Webview ... with that installed Google Play Services works again. I tried to follow the tutorial, installing the apk ... but I realized that works only for the LineageOS Nougat variant (even stating that it works for the Marshmallow).
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=7898147]wender.ijui[/MENTION]

That makes me quite happy. I did nothing concerning that, it was either a kernel bug that got fixed since I synced to a newer release, or something on cyanogen that got fixed.

But it was really bothering me a bit that there was a variant which wasn't working.

So now I just need to fix this long standing opengapps issue and that pretty much clears almost every reported issue. Some features are still missing but nothing critical.

I think I'm gonna change my strategy. Chasing the security bugs is proving a big job just by itself. And it's duplicate work. Eventually codeaurora releases new branches that are fully patched and I can just resync. It's just that they lag a bit sometimes, but then again, so does cyanogen/lineage (They still haven't covered 01-01-2017).

Possibly my time is best spent fixing the other bugs and maybe taking a look at the flip cover / nougat.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] alecbl:
[MENTION=7192790]P A[/MENTION]

It's possible something's wrong (it's a test release and all). Get BetterBatteryStats fully charge it and let it run. But it might a missbehaving app, or just your usage pattern (4h isn't that bad). It's hard to gauge by that because well.. Sometimes I go about with the phone for 4-5 days, most of the time it's deep sleeping, but with wifi always on etc. When I do that I get little screen time, but the battery is doing pretty well. If you're browsing the web for 4h mixed with some sleep time and a couple calls, that ain't that bad, browsers spend a lot of battery. If you're reading text files non stop, you ought to get a lot more.

Unless something's wrong with this test build, I can assure you battery does better on this rom than stock. Especially if you take advantage of doze (configure it to kick in rapidly etc).
