Not another build, not a fork.

If someone wants to help fixing bugs first (s)he needs to be able to build the ROM from source.

Being able to fix bugs is not guaranteed by being able to build but it's required.

(currently repo syncing)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sauva:
Thank you [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] but can you rewrite The OP ((install part only) in the way to explain clearly the flash process for people like me ;)

You're about to replace Samsung with your rom and you represent an huge hope for alpha's users!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] echo124:
Thanks for your help! :good:

I am confused why name changed from slte to sltexx and now rom installs as "emulated" (maybe because it creates different directory on phone?). Also with twrp 3.0.3 can't flash other roms. Not sure if helpful or if more details needed. G850M is slteub but all roms for g850f work well as there is only 1 difference (1 LTE band but others same).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
sltexx is name modpunk has given to this product probably to avoid conflict with cm13 tree path. It supports the same device.

Emulated comes from upstream and should be fixed but doesn't have operational impact.

[MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] BETA 3 changelog?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] salwan1996521:
Great work :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Darkbepo:
So far, the only things I've noticed on beta2 is that the status bar seems to be missing the GPS icon to turn it on and off, and youtube videos are doing some bizarre thing where it zooms into the upper left corner of the video so you only can watch 1/4 of the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] echo124:
-Robotic phone call output.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] RadoDennZ:
Same problem...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Nougat only support audio effects for voice processing which are hardware backed. Our phone only has a software implementation. I changed audioflinger to load our audio effects. That should fix the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] RadoDennZ:
Hi modpunk, thanks for your great work. I've used the ROM on my daily Phone for the last two days.

The only problems that still bother me are:

- Robotic phone call output (I hope your solution helps)

- No Audio on Video-Calls (Skype, Whatsapp,...)

If you still solve these problems this ROM is perfect for me.

Many thanks!!!:good::good::good:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] echo124:
Yes, his work is amazing - hope other amazing developers can help with fixing camera and other problems, because this rom is super!:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Darkbepo:
Is anybody else experiencing the video stretching thing on youtube, twitch and facebook?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Could you build and test the branch "TESTING" for the sltexx device tree? I've rewrote several parts of the audio HAL. It should be quicker now, especially when accepting a call.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
Ok. Before that I want to catch you on IRC for a quick sync. I've been forced to make changes (symlinks, Kconfig, jack-server, re-syncing a lot because of missing headers) to make progress and I want to make sure I'm not missing anything more fundamental.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
Anyone happen to know where settings for enabled/disabled apps or app privileges are stored in the ROM?

I need to edit it from TWRP...

I tried enable Google Play Services without giving it any permissions. This was apparently a huge misstake. The phone is unusable. So I need to disable Play Services again.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mobeen_farhan25:

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] deathdefiler:
where can i find version twrp 3.0.2.0 slte pls for my device?

these are the only slte versions i found

twrp-2.8.1.1-slte

twrp-2.8.7.0-slte-1.1.

twrp-3.0.3-0-slte-1.1.

twrp-3.0.3-0-slte-1.2.

twrp-3.1.0-slte-1.

so i gues there is no 3.0.2.0 for slte

so wich of these versions would be best to flash Marshmellow Rom ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] deathdefiler:
i maybe found some usefull info about playing PokemonGo and using fake gps + joystock without root

Maybe for some peeps the only reason that they wanna run Lineageos because

you cant set fake gps in mock location on Lollipop

this Method works both on Lollipop and Marshmellow

With zero rubberbanding zero jumpbacks to real location

First make a nandroid backup incase anything goes wrong

Then you need to root your phone

dont matter if you use a autoroot oneclickroot or wathever you prefer

Because we will be deleting root later just make sure SuperSu and busybox is installed

after your phone is rooted and Su and busy are installed

go to playstore and download this exactly (GPS Joystick Fake GPS Location) by dev. The app ninjas

as while youre in playstore also download (/system/app mover Root) by dev. j4velin

now openup /system/app mover Root and search for fake gps joystick

tap it and choose yes or ok to move it to /system/app

At this point you should reboot your phone

once your phone is rebooted you can unroot your phone

Even if you unroot, Gps joystick will remain in /system/app

Now go into you phone location settings

tap the 3 dots and set wifi scanning and bluetooth scanning to of

and set location modus to Device only

I also set google location service of

Now we can open Fake gps joystick and go to settings

you can do this by tapping the hamburger like icon or the tree lines in the top left corner

Make sure that these following options are on

Enable System Mode

Disable Location Service

Enable A-GPS reset

Now Restart your device for changes to take effect

thats it now we can start fake gps choose location of your liking

open pokenmon go and start playing (make sure loction is on lol)

Ive been playing like this for a few days now with zero jump backs to real location

If you want your location to work back normal

for example playing pokemon go normal or use googlemaps

then open fake gps settings and make sure Disable location service is set to off

Reboot your device and your good to go
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
[MENTION=8147201]deathdefiler[/MENTION] so you went through all of this just to play Pokemon? :D :D :D

but hey it seems like alot of steps when you wright it down

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Bigdut:
can you play pogo with this rom (LAOS 14.1) ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hampelnoVa:
Thank you so much for this Lineage-Rom to the Galaxy Alpha. The last time I spent time installing a Custom Rom was for my good old Galaxy Nexus / CyanogenMod. A friend of mine is still running it with Lollipop.

The update politics Samsung is running are horrible. Thanks to technical guys like you we can show that it is not necessary to buy a new device just after 2 years because they want to sell they're new products with bull**** like no changeable Accu or something.

Cheers to you modpunk, I'm surprised how good this Rom works as a daily driver and how smooth the Nougat runs!

Keep up the good work, the beer this evening goes to you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] :
Does this ROM have Substratum commits? Or does it just have legacy support?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ArisRafaelli:
Been using beta 6 since release.

All around great

Bugs:

Camera crashes sometimes. Doesn't focus well.

Facebook app crashes. Alternative apps work just fine.

Snapchats crahss sometimes.

Screen fragments when going g landscape mode, viewing recent apps and taking screenshots.

Phone freezes sometimes andere auto reboots.

The only real issue is the camera
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] herviansyah:
Camera crashed a lot of time

Hi modpunk and team, this is brilliant! Thanks for your hardwork

I installed the beta 6 version and used gapps 7.1 Stock version. Since the camera doesn't work properly, how to re-install the stock camera app which provided from the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] deathdefiler:
you can try, but i dont think it will work
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kurvenmeister:

could you geht twrp 3.0.2? if not ask modpunk for the file compiled by himself.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Just that people understand, the Substraum theme engine needs root. LineageOS 14.1 ships without root so it is not ready for inclusion in LOS yet. The ROM will provide the Substraum theme engine as soon as it is accepted upstream.

Safety Net fails :(

Any solutions for the failed safety net ? Lots of apps need Safety Net to pass in order to work like Snapchat, Pokémon Go, banking apps, etc etc. I mean, if you say this ROM isn't meant for security and banking then it's fine; but there are casual apps (Snapchat and Pokémon go for example) that straight up don't work because Safety Net is failing. And no, magisk hide doesn't seem to work either; with or without root. Thanks for the ROM btw [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION]

I have the same issue now. I thought it was solved (it was fine after upgrade to beta6) for a day or two then it came back.

Also, when you have music playing and someone calls and you pick up the call, you can't hear the other person, and after the call is ended, you won't be able to hear anyone in a call, unless you wait for a minute or a little more.

Hey guys,

so first nothing interesting happened at LOS over the weekend. Developers are working on Android 7.1.2 and Substratum. As soon as one of them gets merged, I will build a new ROM and test it. I had several issues last week with battery draining. That seems to be fixed and I fixed some minijail issues for video/audio codecs with the latest changes. So a new ROM release should come this or next week.

Now something else. I often get helpful reports and people are also sending me messages. If you need help please use the forums a lot of people around here can help you much faster with your issues than I do. I do not check XDA every day. If someone has a suggestion to extend the FAQ, let me know.

I do not speak gangster slang and will not answer to those message. I'm NOT a native English speaker, so please use a clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language I also do understand! I'm not your bro!

Thanks to all those people who give valuable feedback!

Thanks to all people who donated!

Thanks to all people who help others getting the ROM working!

Bug report

Hello.. I Am new here.. Since yesterday I am using this new rom (beta 6). It' s a very great Rom, the best I tried so far: it's easy and energy saver! But there are some bugs I would like to report (maybe some of you also noticed these following).

1. The camera does not work.

2. Sometimes there are no more sounds (no-one, keyboard, Ringtones, and calls)

3. The vibration feedback of the keyboard loses strength without any reason.

4. The Screenshot with home and power button doesn't work.

Thanks anyway to the developer for the great job, hope he can resolve these problems in the next update.

I think, its much simpler than all that.

1. Connect your phone with pc.

--> You can see the device but no folders in it. No intern memory, sd-card.

2. Pull down the notifications.

--> There should be an android system notivication

I only see the german text. It s something like device is getting charged via usb. for further options tip here

3. Tip on it

--> Now you see 3 options. 1. charge device; 2. file transfer; 3. Picture transfer (PTP)

Again, I only have german texts, but it must be something like that.

4. Select File transfer

--> The device will reconnect and now you can access your data.
