Photos are very good in my opinion
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] SerenityS:
Stock Camera App can't using on Lineage.

Not compatible.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] a1m:
Same issue as myself. Anyone have a fix?

Cheers,

a1m
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] davidcaicedo123:
Anybody knows how can I record in Slow Motion on this Rom, like the stock rom? or any complete camera app with all the features like the stock one?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
My battery lasts for ~2 days. Often the culprit is an app which wakes the phone up all the time. There are tools like BetterBatteryStats which can tell you what needs all the resources.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] line____:
just fic this 3 problems:

1)camera qulity

2)fingerprint sensor

3)battery and better gpu and cpu mangement
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Again, my battery lasts for ~2 days!!! Check which crappy apps you have waking up the device!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
2 days... my phone just ate about 40% again during a night. I installed Greenify, but no use from it. I barrely have any apps installed at all. I also installed Wakelock detector and seems that everything is ok with wakelocks. But battery just keeps draining... almost 4% a hour when phone is off.

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

Could be that battery needs to be recalibrated? In battery stats it's shows nothing... highest is Cell standby 2% and screen 2%, phone idle 2%, google services 2%, LineageOS System 2%, Wifi 1%, Android OS 1 %...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
Deactivate Do Not Disturb mode right after you initiate the call (before the other person picks up). It's the only workaround i found so far

I also have the same battery drain issue. If someone knows of a re-calibration software or something else that needs to be done, please let us know.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
So me and O_Yashiro have this battery drain problem, but modpank has good battery... can anyone else comment on their battery life please?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] subrashi cat:
My battery lasts in use 6 hours and don't drop down without using it
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Camykaze:
battery drain

I'm not having better or worse battery than stock rom.

It can last one full day with little use, but maximum 1h30 Onscreen time.

But if I put location in "high precision" or "battery saver", it does not matter, my cellphone will drain my batteyr in 6hours. Even if it sitting on a desk, with google play services draining 30% of the battery. Always had this problem, even on stock, dont think it is modpunk's fault.

I let it be on "GPS only/device only" and it can last full day of work.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] frald:
I have installed beta 4 and when i'm on chrome using my data after few time my phone heats up

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

I tried this but now when i'm listening to the music and i have a call or i dialling at the end of call, audio no longer work, i have to reboot the phone to fix that
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
There is something strange happening with my phone that seem to drain battery a lot. Might be some new policy for data usage or so.

I've seen that fdroid app sometimes hang when trying to refresh it's list, does not seem to get any data and impossible to shut it down. Also K9 seem to hang refreshing my inbox sometimes, but that one gives up after a while atleast.

Phone active stat under detailed phone statistics shows that it is active when I get these drains.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Murd0ck:
Can you recommend a tool that dosen't cost money for that?

Depending on what i do my battery life drains different.

Normal workdays the phone is like 40% when i get home from work, thats from fully charged when i leave home in the morning.

In the weekend when i'm not really using my phone it can hold for 2 days but then it also need juice sunday at bedtime because it will be like 10-15% and i wouldnt had used it alot, maybe 1 call and some texts.

I noticed that enabling WiFi makes it drain alot, like 30-50% drain overnight, but that might be because of spotify syncing music for offline play, i can tell better if i find a tool to see what app uses the battery.

[MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION]

Basically I've went from 2 day battery life to 1 day only by going from cm13 to lineage14.1. No new apps or nothing else have been changed.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
Same for me going from stock Lollipop. Almost all of google apps also uninstalled with Titanium Backup. For me it's even worse... I'm charging phone now like 3 times a day
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] a1m:
Same here. Charge at least twice a day. Have to carry a battery around with me.

I don't have DND turned on though... Do you mean enable then disable it immediately?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] davidcaicedo123:
Error:

Sometimes when there is an incoming call and I answer it, the disturb mode gets on and I can not hear the other person. Does anybody know any fix for that??
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Popey900:
I have the same Problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] a1m:
Ahh - it activates when I call or get called. Thanks! Disabling DND while on a call appears to work on the few calls I've tried.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
Yes, sometimes it works fine, other times you have to disable DND mode. This seems to be a LineageOS issue as [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] says, and i have no idea who to get in touch with to fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
Regarding battery drain -

I re-flashed latest modem (G850FBOU1COL3) and deleted battery stats by deleting battery.bin from TWRP yesterday. Don't know which of these things worked, but I'm having a huge progress now. During night sleep (6hours) I had absolutely no battery drain.

One more thing I'm noticing now is that I'm having a bit Cellular network signal problems when I'm moving around and that seems to be draining battery also.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
I will try this.

Do you have an issue with mobile network when you call an emergency number, say 112?

When i do that, the call is aborted and the network disappears from the phone. I have to reboot it in order for it to work again.

Anyone else with this issue?

PS: I also have the same modem(G850FBOU1COL3), though i did not re-flash it like you did.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
How can I test that without calling 112? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
Do you have that modem binary in a form thats flashable from twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
I flashed it with Odin. I downloaded the whole latest Stock ROM from link in first page, then opened it with rar and extracted just the modem file.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
One more battery drain fix I found for me... I seem to have some Cellular network signal problems. Signal levels were changing all the time and that also drained the battery very much. Now I selected 2G as prefered network instead of LTE I had before and signal level is 100% almost whole time. And battery drain seems to be reduced like 10 times. Since I'm on Wifi almost whole time and use mobile data just from time to time this seems to be very good solution.

Any ideas what caused these Cellular network signal problems? I got no signal from time to time and the automatic network should have switched to 2G automatically, but I guess it didn't since I got no signal at all. Now on 2G I don't lose signal not a moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
[MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] Which partition is modem? Trying to flash new modem.bin with dd. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Popey900:
Where i can download G850FBOU1COL3?

For flash with TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
DON'T FOLLOW THIS GUIDE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

---

Download this ROM for example, and extract the modem.bin-file

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/confirm/123015/G850FXXS2CPL1_G850FTTR2CPG1_MAX/

Copy the modem.bin to your phone.

Open a shell (by adb or other means).

$ su #to gain root

$ dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/modem.bin.backup #in case anything goes wrong

$ dd if=/path/to/modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 #flash modem

Reboot phone
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Darkbepo:
I have noticed the signal issue as well, but didn't know it caused battery drain... I'd rather stay on LGE than switch to 2G though.. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
I'm having good signal and still have twice the expected battery drain. So it's not that.

And it's not beeing on an old modem either, still the same problem after radio upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
Yeah, seems like that... drains are back for me too again :(

Weird... One night I had 0% drain. Not I'm back again to at least 30% a night
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mobeen_farhan25:
Not able to flash!

Hi I am using Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850F and I have stock firmware 5.0.2 rooted. I have TWRP 2.8.7.0 and I am flashing the file Lineage OS Beta 4 however it gives me error when I flash it!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
Try newest TWRP from first page
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mobeen_farhan25:
I am using the lastest TWRP version
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
I also flashed with twrp 3 (from the first page) but couldn't boot afterwards (boot loop) do i reverted to twrp 2.8 and it works fine now.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kfo1187:
Could you be more specific? What kind of error?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Popey900:
I had the same Problem, you need the latest TWRP.

With TWRP 3.0.3.0 it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
It is often an application which causes the battery drain. The App keeps the phone awake preventing it to go into deep sleep or wakes it up and holds a wake lock for a long time.

As I do not have a battery drain and you have one, it is one of your Apps ...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
Maybe yes. The thing is that it changed from cm13 to lineage14.1, so there is some change in the system that causes one or many apps to show this behavior.

I've installed BetterBatteryStats now and will try to hunt the problem down.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
It's not so simple... I had no battery drain on stock Lollipop, then I went to LOS Beta 4 and the battery drain appeared (same apps installed - Facebook, Gmail, Chrome, Messenger, Whatsapp, Tinder). Today I installed EpsilROM 4.3, also the same apps and battery drain is gone. Wish there was some way to find what's causing it in LOS... tried Wakelock Detector... nothing. Installed BetterBatteryStats, but to be honest I didn't really understand anything there...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
The Stock ROM is Android 5 and this is Android 7. There is a big difference and a lot of Apps are not made for Android 7. If you can prove me that the issue is the ROM I will fix it. I argue that if there would be an error in the ROM every user would experience it. but for most users everything works fine.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/general/kernel-wakelocks-t1462020
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
I understand it's a tricky situation, because some have this issue and some don't... I just wanna somehow find what's causing it. Thanx for the link, I'll try to get through that information ;)

Maybe I should try to install Beta 4 without ANY apps and then see how it's behaving?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] davidcaicedo123:
Then install greenify, to see what happens. Because nobody has had that problem. Install it, and that can be a problem solver.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
I did. No use. I'm not the only one with this problem, but ok... won't bother again with this. Great ROM overall ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Digital Chocolate:
For some reason Snapchat stopped working even though I don't have root, would someone please help me find a solution I've tried everything on the internet. I've had this problem with only this ROM

P.s great ROM OP
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Install BetterBatteryStats, set SELinux into permissive mode and then gather stats. You will find the issue pretty quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
I'm pretty confident I found the problem.

Look at radio on time.

This is consistent with my feeling that starting downloads takes a really long time.

When I install apps from fdroid initializing the connection takes as long time as downloading the program (at 5mb).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] davidcaicedo123:
So, what's next for this ROM? Now that the only issue are the calls... The fingerprint sensor or...?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] RaiToO:
Buggy things

Ye, i found some annoying things also. First i cant connect to snapchat even if its unrooted... i just cant. Next is that wake up screen i mean when screen is locked and you clikc power button screen appears really delayed. and third if you get a lot of nofitications at a time nofitication screen gets not smooth ... like laggy or stuttering i cant tell
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Digital Chocolate:
Did you ever find a solution to the Snapchat thing yet like maybe factory resetting your phone to fix the issue or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
I have more audio fixes, the next thing is trying to get newer camera blobs working.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] RaiToO:
Tried everything, believe me. i think theres some kind of file that snapchat detects or idk
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Digital Chocolate:
Are you a big snapchat user
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Darkbepo:
Were the fixes you had for Bluetooth added to the newest available beta download? Because if they were, I am still having trouble connecting to my friends Audi to listen to music >.< If not then nvm :3

Also, if there's some logs or something you can pull from my phone, I'd be happy to offer them if it could help you out.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] victoram:
People just want to know that this ROM is pure wizardly and done from scratch, if you guys want stability go to some stock based rom, what modpunk and other modders are doing here, is run a non official OS based on the latest android, and doing with minimal help from samsung open source for their exynos chipset.

Maybe it will never be stable for everyone's use, maybe with one step at time, we can get a very nice rom, just report bugs of the ROM itself by using logcat and replicating the bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] davidcaicedo123:
Great idea. Thanks for your hard work, I guess everyone in here appreciates it. If there's anything I could help you, any file you need to try, just ask bro. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] lukpav15:
Hi, this is an excellent ROM but have questions call me at brobihajicim No Answer kinds of phone call sound signal. I dont know why but when calls icon appears not interrupt .... could it be? how it set me to know about the kind of conversation during that first. I found the menu item "Information about the type of call," that I'm allowed. I attach scrrenshot. thank you for the advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
You're not the only one, i also have massive battery drain, i just haven't had time to report the bug. I also have other bugs:

- at random times, i can't hear other people when initiating or receiving a phone call (i thought it was because of DND mode but it turns out that's not itl.

- whenever i am listening to music and i move into a phone call, the sound stopa working right after the phone call (all music players won't play music).

- sometimes the screen is stuck after rotating amd won't turn back to any other side when i flip the phone (i know it's not very important) unless i lock the screen and unlock it.

Whenever i can, i will disable selinux and try to debug the draining issue.

If i can help with anything please post a comment and i'll follow up.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
I will provide a new ROM as soon as my java is working again. Currently java ECC is broken because mozilla-nss broke the ABI.

I want to add to that list that camera app sometimes freezes and i can't use it anymore until i restart the device. Does this happen to anyone else? And if not, how can i share a debug here?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
I would suggest to use OpenCamera. You find it in the PlayStore
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] davidcaicedo123:
So Beta 5 is coming... this week?:D
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
Ok, thanks for the suggestion, i tried the Open Camera app and i'm having the same issues. I'm not sure if this problem is unique to me, or there are other people with the same issue.

PS: I have not reset the phone to factory settings when flashing LineageOS, could that be a problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nicche:
Hi O_Yashiro! I tired Open camera too but I had the same issues I tried also Camera MX app but I don't really like it, now I'm trying Camera FV-5 it's a great camera app but sometimes it crash or it freeze so don't worry you are not alone! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jozefk27:
The same problem with camera (also with Open Camera) on my G850F, the Camera app crash sometimes but app start again without device restart. I was flashing Samsung stock ROM, Factory reset, Wipe Cash and Install Beta4 with Pico Open Gapps.

Hello and thanx for your great work.

could you please help me to install your rom. I dont undrestand what to do exactly when you said

"As this is an Android based ROM you need to flash sboot (bootloader) and the modem image from one of the latest official Samsung releases.

Or install a ROM via the Samsung update option.???

You can find the latest stock ROM here. Suggested modem version is: G850FXXU2COK6 or newer"

What is the difference between SLTE and SLTEXX? Because I can't seem to install it through TWRP, and I've been following your builds for quite a while now!

(it says: "this package is for device sltexx; this device is slte.")
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] echo124:
[MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] said we need latest twrp build for it - it worked for me but confused why changed to SLTEXX. Device says " About emulated device" in system settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
If you click on it it says "About phone". If this bothers you report it to the LineageOS project. It is not something I care about ...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kurvenmeister:
Dear modpunk. Great work man. You seem to be the last an only dev for our device. Sunsettrack4 seems to no longer develop for g850f. Would you mind creating a aicp or resurrection Version for g850f. Best regards and thumbs up.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] echo124:
Not at all sir, I appreciate your hard work. Asking questions from a more knowledgeable person in this subject - you!:laugh:

I also want to provide as much feedback for you as possible!

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] GreySephiroth:
Great, it's really annoying when it keeps disappearing, even after manually adding it, it works for a while, and then, poof.

Also, there's a call audio issue, specifically, the voice is somewhat metallic on my end, the other end hears me just fine.

Other than that, your work is awesome, and the ROM is the best you can find for this device at the moment.

:good::good::good:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sandrino1983:
Another (personal) bugs.

1. sometimes, when i make a call, i can't be heard to the other side but i hear all well (apart metallic voice).

2. As cm13, still remain a call echo

If i am the only one with this bugs i'll try reflash stock firmware with odin and then try again with this great ROM.
