One more BT update

The bluetooth issue has been fixed for the klte.. Unfortunately it does not work for sltexx.

Right now i can reproduce three different behaviours:

With WBS enabled:

-> Robotic voice during BT calls. (Others usecases working)

WBS enabled and SCO_WBS_SAMPLE_RATE = 0:

-> Mute BT calls (Other usecases working)

With WBS disabled:

-> Sometimes mute BT calls, sometimes working

Found: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_hardware_samsung/blob/cm-14.1/audio/audio_hw.c#L3995 "Implement support for BT SCO wideband calls!!!"

However change: https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/176143/ Seems to modify related code. Right now I must pass in how to solve this.. If anything needs testing or logs, let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
I replace this file in system>etc folder and set permission according to file. Restart phone.. camera works fine now... Can anyone test it? Make backup of original one and set permission correctly...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
Please add support for volte in this ROM...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gabrielking9:
Which functions did you mean by "works fine"?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
Quality... Focus time...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gabrielking9:
What about video recording?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
Recording working fine... I thought if audio fix works for RR nougat by sunstrack then this camera thing may work here.... That's why I asked for try it... In my phone camera is working everything hdr, recording... I am still trying to get more better quality of camera...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
I need modem from twrp backup for g850f variant international version... Can anyone help ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
Is it possible to chance API level ?

If it is possible , we need an update or we can change it ( in some way ) via PC ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Harinus:
You can download the stock roms with the modem you want from here:

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-alpha/SM-G850F/

The API level is defined by the Android Version. Why would you change it?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
Downloaded at last 1.25GB for 50mb file
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
Because I've found that we can use the fingerprint sensor with an updated API .

Is it correct ?

Why we have nougat but not the last version API ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Harinus:
Maybe you are confusing API and API Level which are two different things. The API Level of this ROM is 25, which is the currently highest (excluding Android O).

However, if you link the source of your information someone might be able to check if it is possible to port fingerpint support to sltexx.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
If you look at a diff between your file and the one in the ROM there is only a change in the formating. The actual content is identical!

This file doesn't change anything ...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
Someone who ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Harinus:
Anyone, who is a developer and who would like to contribute something to this project or maybe modpunk himself. idk.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
Thank you .

[MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] what do you think about that ? Is it possible ? Can you do something ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
Nougat is the latest API level, O is the next API level.

No, it's not correct that support for fingerprint sensor is solved by upgrading Android API. This device specific system layer needs a big effort development with the Trusted Execution Environment chip that is probably not going to happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
So is it useless to try it out ? Is anyone capable enough to do so ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
Didn't say useless, obviously it would be a useful feature for some. Said effortful, so not easy. The maintainer of this ROM is currently focusing efforts on pending audio issues, so I wouldn't expect it, soon at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
Does anyone know how to be invisible to other Bluetooth devices ? I don't find the visibility settings
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
Visible only to paired devices or when Bluetooth settings is open is the standard behaviour.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
Can we have stereo sound on our phone ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] alirezajalilii:
hi, First, Tanks for keeping alive G850F :svetius: :svetius:

secound, do have any plan to fix this issues? (mostly three first in list?)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
I'm trying to fix the incall issues but do not have much time to work on it right now. The last two attempts didn't help. Patches are always welcome ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
This phone modem board support volte/hd voice here is proof.

http://ark.intel.com/products/66648/Intel-XMM-7260

Can anyone make it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] DDRRNN123:
When I make calls using Whatsapp or Viber (tried while on WIFI and Mobile Data) immediately after pressing the call botton the phone frezzes for about 5 to 10 seconds then the app crashes, any ideas or solutions?

Otherwise the rom is great :good: Thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
In official 5.0.2 in csc samsung has given files to remove conflict in audio. Its in csc>common>etc folder... may be if it can help in issue... :svetius:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
Yes, there is a post a few pages back by [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] on how to remove some lines of code from a file. I did it and all the issues with the audio disappeared, in calls and in apps!

Give it a try.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] adamzizi:
The call issue.

Hello. So if i remove lines of code from a file, the metallic voice will be no longer a issue, during calls ?

Sorry for my english.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] RobWilli:
The modem hardware support support a lot of nice stuff, but we have to use the modem firmware provided by Samsung. If it does not support VoLTE we have no chance to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
Cant we build firmware? Is there anyway to build?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] RobWilli:
No, there is no source code available.

And there are quite a big number of engineers necessary to develop new firmware features. It is not just setting the VoLTE enable bit.

I am currently not sure if any public available device with the XMM7260 inside is capable of VoLTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] jikkine:
Hi, can you share with us this ROM with removed audio issues please?

Did anybody else try to remove the lines from source codes and could confirm that it helps?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
It should fix it.

It's not another ROM, and the files you need to modify are in your device, not in the source code.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72389345&postcount=765
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] jikkine:
I thought that the file is included in this ROM, so if somebody would create this ROM with modified file, other people would not need to edit it manually.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Murd0ck:
Is anybody else having problems with receiving MMS messages?

I have mobiledata turned off since i don't have alot of it and apps/google tend to use it up rather quickly if that have something to say.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Harinus:
You already gave yourself the answer. Mobile data is required for MMS messages. It works as designed.

Try deactivating background data in the settings or activating the built-in data saver feature if you experience a mobile data leak on your limited quota.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Murd0ck:
Oki, i thought it had a feature switch build in that would allow mms to get downloaded even with data turned off, since almost all tele companies i know of have free mms(so it dosen't count against data cap)

Odd thing is that it worked fine in the older Android versions tho, even with mobile data turned off.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
[MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] , will there be an update to Android 8 ( When lineage os will be updated ) ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Raja ge:
Update my mobile 7. 0
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] adamzizi:
Hi. After i removed few lines from audio_effects.conf the metalic voice gone :D - only small echo, but it is acceptible :D

The camera issue; did enyone solved it ??
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
I'm not sure. I think about buying a Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
Thank you very much for this rom and all the work behind it . You have saved , my and a lot of galaxy alpha . If you agree , it would be nice to have one last big update (8.0) and then leave it .

( I think that at the same cost as the A3, is it best for you buy the Lenovo P2 )
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
The P2 is to big. I want a metal body and a small device. The Sony XZ1 Compact looks interesting too. We will see
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ArisRafaelli:
Just get an Iphone as I did, my alpha is in my drawer now. No more headaches, no more rooting, rom flashing, no more waiting for software updates and all apps are optimized for the phone and work perfectly. Ok i miss the freedom of android sometimes, but honestly it was worth the switch.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
I want the freedom to choose the software I want to run on my device. Apple creates the last products I will ever by. What they do with their users if you read the Terms of Services. No thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ArisRafaelli:
I get what you're saying, but honestly, either get an iPhone or Google Pixel. Those companies manufacture their own phones and OS, so they are in perfect harmony. no more customized Android version for each manufacturer, late updates, bloatware, ...

Since you're probably going to want to port Lineage or AOSP to any Samsung phone you buy sooner or later...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] _ Chris _:
Still have Audio stop problems. Would be nice to have a final Version. Or did anyone knew a full working OS ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
[MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] , I don't recommend the Sony xz1 compact because of the low battery life and even warms up a lot. I would also recommend a moto g5s ( not plus ) . But the important thing is that you like the phone you buy .
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] szaman_456:
I recomend ressurection remix 6.0.1
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] szaman_456:
Nope :/
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] _ Chris _:
Same with ressurection remix 6.0.1 .

Audio turn off when stopping Camera or Flashlight. Must be a Problem with my Phone. Who could use this OS, when Music stops after making an Photo?

So it could only be an Problem with my Phone. Only this ugly Stock-Rom is working.

Good work so far but for me it is a big Bug so i must go to Stock-Rom and wait.

If someone had a Idea what I could do ...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] szaman_456:
On my Galaxy Alpha everything works well

I have ressurection remix

Android : 6.0.1

Maybe u have sm-g850h? Not f version
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] _ Chris _:
No, definitely SM-g850f. I`ll redo from the start. I only have twrp 2.8.1.1. Is it necessary to have twrp 3.1.1 installed. Odin stop flashing every time.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] szaman_456:
Maybe it's twrp problem ... but u can also download again rom. Or download from other source
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
Guys i am having trouble using the microphone when the headset is plugged in. When it is plugged in, i can hear the other party but the microphone is not working, so they can't hear me. When i unplug it, i can hear and talk normally.

Anyone else having this issue? And if so, did you manage to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
hi [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION], have you already bought the A3 2017? Are you going to release Lineage os 15 for galaxy alpha ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
I've bought a Sony XZ1 Compact.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
[MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] Really good . Can not you make a last effort and give us Lineage os 15?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
I'm not sure if this is possible. There changed so much in mediaserver/audioserver/codecserver again. It is really hard to get the camera working.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
[MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] than the problem is the camera .

If you upgrade the rom and for the camera problem, you will helped by the guys who resolved the problem with the current version, do you agree?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] StormH9:
For those with the camera problem i flashed the zip file from this link and worked for me. My camera is good now. :)

And hope that this can help.

[MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] We all know its a lot to ask. But the KRACK security vulnerabilities is a serious bug and Lineage OS have fixed it. As WIFI is so essential for everyday phone use, could you please consider to kindly provide us just one last big update with this security fix? I think everyone will be benefited. Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
Can someone help me ? The "Link2sd" application doesn't want to run, which it did until a few months ago, I tried everything but the app stops every time when I try to open it .
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] YokoBR:
But this phone doesn't have SD card o.O
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
I know it , but I use Link2sd for the ability to delete system apps and make it a system app in a user app or opposite . ( I need this app not other )
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] victoram:
hello, does the camera works 100%? video recording (1080p or 4k)? photos? HDR? camera on apps?

I cant say that is 100 % but now the camera works. Before flashing the zip file, the camera didnt even open for me. For me is ok now, i dont use the camera much.

Need help regarding audio issue

i am running ressurection remix 5.8.4 which is also based on lineage os. i am facing audio/mic issue. while on call sometimes other person cant hear my voice and i have to reboot my device everytime to solve the problem. i can see many of you on this thread are facing audio issues. Somewhere on net solution to these issues are given.

Like

By editing Build.prop file

"ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype to none﻿"

But I cant find these lines in my Build.prop file.

Maybe any of you can try this method and help me too on this.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
I will create a new last ROM in the next days for 14.1. The changes in Oreo are two huge to port the ROM, I don't have time for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Michilon:
I think all those in this thread want it . But we have to find someone willing to do just one last update . Is there anyone who can do it ? Or someone who can say how to do it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] neolode:
I've been having this weird bug where sometime when I use the camera flash or just the "torch" function, the music player starts as if the headset button was pressed.

Anyone else experiencing this ?

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
BETA9 is up ...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] adamzizi:
Hello. I Just updated BETA 9 - good job, but :

metallic sound during calls, camera doesn't recording.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
I have not been able to record video at all in BETA8 either, same for BETA9 now.

I have metallic voice too now, and still the problem that after a reboot I must play music before I can hear anything when calling...

Too bad we don't have any developer anymore. =/
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
Oh and no sound on incoming calls (ringing) or when playing music.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] elkami:
tested beta 9 + gapps nano

camara video no recording, throw error. (this work on v5.8.4 and v5.8.5) maybe we can take that fix from there?

Safetynet broken ctsProfile false basicIntegrity false (someone can pass this on alpha Linage or RR ?)

problem with auto trigger do not disturb on calls and dont ring (but working with permit all calls)

Robotic audio in calls.

not tested yet bluetooth calls
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
The robotic audio might very well be because the sound level is just way high. I have it turned down as much as it let's me, but still need to hold the phone away from my ear.

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

How do you "permit all calls" so that ringing works?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] elkami:
for the sound is not to loud, at least not in mine, maybe in settings but i can put on my hear

do not disturb, on priority settings, i put on calls from everyone/permit all calls, when a call enter the not disturb icon on top turn on, but the ring Works.

but there is a weird bug on audio some times broke and need to restart the phone.

right now im back to RR 5.8.4 20170910 weekly (dont use last one because bluetooth call is broken). its semi stable, just a Little problems with camera, but can take shoots and video.

i think its based on this one.

the only big problem on my last test its all custom roms for alpha has SafetyNet broken and i cant use my bank App. u get fail on SafetyNet with this rom?

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gal-alpha-bn:
Thanx a lot for the good work!

A question regarding migration to a new mobile: I am having problems when trying to connect the Galaxy Alpha with another (newer, stock rom) Samsung mobile via "Nearby" technology from Google. The goal is to easily migrate certain settings, accounts and so on to the new device. This process worked successfully with my wife's old and new phone (other brands).

To specify the problems: the Galaxy Alpha does not find the new device. No error message, no clue if it is a Bluetooth problem, WLAN or location.

Question to those who might know:

1) Is it due to potential Bluetooth bugs (or not full functionality) in this ROM?

2) As "Samsung Smart Switch" is no choice (seems to only work with Samsung stock roms), I am wondering what is the most convenient (tool supported) process to migrate. Any experience / recommendatios? I am not planning to root the new device at the moment, so in my understanding Titanium backup would not work.

Thanx in advance
