Beta 6 awesome...

Great work...my g850f its working like a charm .....yes it is true that no sound when i try to listening music from apps like di.fm but i have sound on youtube or sites like promodj.com i dont know why ?? i enter from browser too di.fm and i can listening music without problems but in app no sound...

i installed twrp with flashify

wipe system, dalvik, cache, restart to recovery, installed LOS beta6, restart to twrp, installed gapps pico version 7,1 arm, restart to recovery, installed supersu addon, restart to system ...... everything its ok....no battery drain (my battery now have more life time then with stock ROM)...no camera crash no robotic sound....

Audio Fx is giving me amazing sound :)

Only problem with sound on radio apps (im from Italy)......maybe its Audio Fx app that cause that problem ?? i will try to delete it and try radio apps...later i will write if its working....
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Sadneer:
Yeahhhhh, working on G850M

Very usable for me, the camera doesn't open sometimes, but with third part app, works o///

Awesome work!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] AlphaOwner:
I updated the stock rom using odin and my current Baseband version is G850FXXU1COI1

I rooted and installed TWRP 3.0.3 recovery

So can I install lineageOS directly or do I need to upgrade the stock rom first ?

And can I take a nandroid backup of the current stock rom and restore it later ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] oreggin:
It works for me. Thx! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
I still have battery drain, and I'm still missing dail tones for some carriers. I tried wiping dalvik cache, but that did not help. Could you have been doing something else?

My other issues with beta6 is that after reboot of phone I must receive a phone call else the sound does not work. And that the stock browser don't update screen and misses touch input, it's super annoying, almost impossible to use the browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
No, that is exactly what i've done, flash rom, reboot, let the OS start then reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache then reboot. It still bugs when i'm hearing music and someone calls (audio/music stops working at all, need reboot), but the other dialing tones and not being able to hear people issues are gone. And i do not know if i have your issues with the stock browser, i disabled it. I use Firefox or Brave.

I did not do anything else except flash twrp 3.0.3 and flash los beta6.

You might consider wiping all data on your phone for a fresh install (not sure if it will help in your case), which is what i did (i flashed a second time the same rom and wiped all data).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
Why did you flash it second time?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ognjen73:
Does anyone else have incall sound problems? I installed Stock Gapps package and with google dialer after calling/receiving call sound stops after few seconds, when i put call on speakerphone it continues working for a few more seconds and after it sounds (Music/ringtone/alarm) just stops working until i restart device. Could it be a google dialer not working well with rom or is it something else?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
I wanted to wipe all my data and start fresh, i had a lot of used storage and i didn't know what it was used for, so it was nothing specific to LineageOS.

Yes, i also have this problem. An easy way to reproduce it is to play music, and then start a call. The music pauses, but when the other person picks up i can't hear anything they say, then i hang up. The music is supposed to play again, but it plays for only 1 second or two, then sound does not work anymore on the phone. I have to wait for about 5 minutes or reboot the phone.

If i can help debug this, please let me know [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jrmb:
Hi there :).

First of all thank you to the people who are doing this ROM.

I would like to install this ROM, because I'm fed up with Android 5.0 and the new version of the system is very enticing. But before that I just wondered if there were audio problems with Spotify or Youtube / Twitch in addition to calls and problems with the camera in general or Snapchat. (Should I wait for a new Beta that will solve this problems?) Also, how do I back up all photos, messages, contacts to then apply to my phone? I tried it once with another ROM but I never got it and I ended up losing everything :(.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ryon21:
This ROM is quite good, it's still a bit buggy but I use it without much problems. Spotify,YouTube works fine, if the camera doesn't work try reflashing the ROM without wipes (worked for me) don't know about Snapchat ... Just to be sure you should do a backup of your data, just in case, but if you flash this ROM you won't lose any data unless you first flash via Odin a stock ROM before this one. In my opinion the best way to install this ROM is :

1-Backup all your data

2-factory reset and flash latest stock ROM via Odin

3-boot your device and put ROM an gapps in the internal memory

4-flash recovery

5- flash ROM and gapps

6-you're done ;)

It still has also a bug with audio incall that works only sometimes
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jrmb:
Thank you very much for your response. It was very enlightening. I think I'll try to install the ROM tomorrow. But I still have not figured out how to back it up. You can help?

(I don't need to backup the apps or them data, because most of them are all social media and the others have the data saved in the cloud. I just wanted to backup up photos, contacts and SMS. I think that's all)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
You can backup photos and other files manually, you can export contacts in a vcf file and import them later. As for sms, i've never backed up my SMS from stock app, unless you use Signal (free encrypted IM app), then you can create a manual backup of your SMS/IM.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jrmb:
Yes, I've always done backups manually, but the photos are not dated correctly. I thought there was a way to back up via TWRP Recovery. For example, whenever a new Beta comes out have to do the whole process again from the beginning?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] echo124:
Anyone who wants to contribute, find app called aLogcat and submit crash/bug log. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
Yes, i understand what you mean. I'm also in the same boat, i have to reinstall apps, reconfigure settings etc.. every time i flash a new beta. I'm not sure if there is another way to back up all those specific settings and files.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jrmb:
I'm not sure, but I think it does.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
You usually don't have to wipe data after upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
Simply flashing the new rom with TWRP (new beta or whatever version) erases all the os settings and apps installed, i'm left with the /media/data (i think) which has my files, pictures, videos etc.. but the apps are always gone, along with the accounts associated to the device. (sorry if this is going off-topic)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
Just sync apps in google account
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] fiddelindell:
Hi all,

Anyone else having problem with people not hearing you during a call on beta 6? Not entirely sure, but it seems to happen when the mobile is connected to a bluetooth speaker or headset. Have anyone else experienced this? Is it a know bug?

Thanks in advance!

This worked on beta 5.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jrmb:
Hello :)

After a few hours and at least 2 attempts I was able to install the ROM.

I'm just setting everything up, but so far everything seems normal.

Once again a big thank you to everyone involved in this ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
No? My apps and settings have survived since CM12-days.

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

BTW,

tried a factory reset today to see if that would help with the battery drain or the problems with dial tones. But did not help at all. Will try to flash the COK (Sigapore/Indonesia) modem next, as soon as sammobile is up and running.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
How do you manage to keep them? I disable sync with google servers, but i doubt that is it. Just to be sure, i'm talking about keeping the apps and their caches on the phone, not in google servers.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
I don't do clouds at all. So yeah, everything is kept on the phone.

Just don't wipe anything after upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jrmb:
I have found these bugs:

NFC does not work;

Camera takes a lot of time to open and some times doesn't work at all, it works better in Third-party applications;

Some visual bugs and lag;

Snapchat doesn't work, you can't log in.

So for now I'm going back to stock ROM. Let's see more forward. Thanks in the same to all involved in the development of the ROM, because I know it takes hard work to do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hbts123:
snapchat doesn't work with root u must unroot phone with supersu
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jrmb:
But my phone isn't rooted :/

I will try to reinstall the ROM again. In addition, WhatsApp warned that it could malfunction in custom ROMs. Is it normal to show up as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
I had same warning in whatsupp, but it worked well
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Darkbepo:
I've been on BETA 4 for a while now. I thought for sure the audio issues on calls had been fixed. I didn't have any issues for a long while up until just recently. Usually a simple restart would fix it but now it still remains bugged. The recipient can hear me but I get no audio at all again :/

I'm still reluctant to update to BETA 6 because of the issues other people seem to have.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jrmb:
It works well for me too. Now the only problem is the camera, it does not work most of the time. If I continue this way I will have to go back to the stock ROM because this is my day-to-day mobile phone (I was putting money together for a new cell phone, but my computer has stopped working and now I have to buy a new one)

One thing works better than in Stock is the network, in stock picked up little mobile network and now is always at maximum. The calls are also working very well.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] RobWilli:
SnapChat uses the SafetyNet API to check for a "secure" OS. Unfortunately the SafetyNet is currently not passing on this ROM. So SnapChat and all other Apps (e.g. banking) which relay on this API will not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jrmb:
That´s sad :(

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

It seems to me to be something too important to still not implemented in ROM. Is there any reason why this has not happened yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
It's not anything the developers can do about it. It's all about Google giving you the finger and decides that you don't own your device, Google does - and can and will break functionality if you do anything they don't like.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_be_evil yeah right!

More information on SafetyNet: https://www.howtogeek.com/241012/sa...y-and-other-apps-dont-work-on-rooted-devices/
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jrmb:
Wow, I did not have the notion of this, but I think there are ROMs where this does not happen. I have already used other ROMs on this mobile phone Where I could use Snapchat normally (but it was based on Android 5.0.2). Maybe Snapchat added that later. But it does not make sense for them to do this.

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

I received a permanent notification on my mobile phone (you can not remove it) asking me to install The SuperSU, but I do not want to. What do I do?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ryon21:
You can ignore it as a normal notification, it shows up sometimes. Maybe try by make it silent (I don't know how it's called in english)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] RobWilli:
It is a complex problem. There are LineageOS ROMs for several devices which work, others don't. Unfortunately our device seems to have a problem here. In CM13.1 the SafetyNet passes. (You can use the CM13.1 ROM from Modpunk if you want to update your Android).

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

That is not a normal behaviour: Did you install an app which requires root?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jrmb:
So maybe this ROM will still be supported by SafetyNet?

I have no application that requires this, but an app appeared in the drawer called SuperSU installer
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] RobWilli:
I think it is not impossible to get SafetyNet running, but someone have to dive in and fix.

Lineage OS has no root installed per default, you have to do it by your own. Did you install root?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nicche:
In my case NFC still doesn't work! When I select the option it becomes grey and i can't do anything! Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] HoluA:
hello

Switched modem from G850FBOU1COL3 to G850FXXU2COK6 yesterday.

That resolved my battery drain issues. Woke up this morning, less than 10% had been drained and had an estimate of 5days (compared to the 1day i get on the German modem).

So there is either something wrong in the G850FBOU1COL3 modem or some problem with how the ROM interfaces against different modems.

Just wanted to let you know.

Thanks for your hard work on this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] zapirkon:
Where can I get the modem file to flash? Can you attach it please?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
https://www.pastefile.com/vaGOyO

Happy hacking!

And be careful!

Instructions further up in thread...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
Maybe test it for few more days and let us know if the drain is gone for good! I had this drain on Beta 4 and I had G850FBOU1COL3 also. Nothing wrong with G850FBOU1COL3 itself, works good with stock ROM and Epsilrom.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
What is a bit strange is that G850FBOU1COL3 is suggested modem by modpank in first page...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
First post saus:

Suggested modem version is: G850FXXU2COK6 or newer
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
But FAQ on 1st page:

My modem doesn't work, what can I do?

Did you flash the latest MODEM firmware from the latest Lollipop release? The suggested firmware is at least G850FBOU1COL3 or newer
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] RobWilli:
I have some questions before i start fiddling around with the modem firmware:

1. Can someone explain the naming scheme a little?

2. Can I run into issues if I use a firmware from a different country? For example are still all LTE bands usable or is this region/country dependent?

Best regards

Rob
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] zapirkon:
I think but not sure that if the file to flash is full firmware named:

G850FXXS2CQA2_G850FOLB2COJ1_G850FXXU1COJ5_HOME.tar.md5

then the first code G850FXXS2CQA2 is the main or PDA or AP version

the second code G850FOLB2COJ1 is CSC which is something about the country, in this case you read 3 characters after G850F, which in the example is OLB https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15134

and the the third code G850FXXU1COJ5 should be the radio version or SC
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
Might have been too quick to jump to conclusions.

Drain seem to be back, could have been that I was on wifi that night without drain.

Will investigate further.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
Don't think it has anything to do with wi-fi... I've tried everything, but no luck... Hope [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] at some point will understand this is real problem not just "some app" draining battery
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
A fraction of the 100% of users has battery drain issue. That should tell you that the problem can not be explained *exclusively* by the common part.

Notwithstanding this I can predict (spoiler alert) that the next beta will contain significant improvements in power management area.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ryon21:
[MENTION=7999331]normis85[/MENTION] If you figure out battery drain, try betterbatterystats , it can help you to find out the problem. Try also a wakelock detector, maybe some apps run in background more than necessary like happened to me.. I also use dozzzer and forcedoze, and if I don't use the phone in standby with mobile data active it drain only 4% now
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
Thanx, been there done that ;) Not the case. I'll just wait for moment problem is hopefully found. I couldn't
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] FiloSvR:
How can i flash the modem.bin under linux?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
In bootloader, using a USB cable, with heimdal, using a previously exported PIT file as a map.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kfo1187:
You can backup modem in TWRP, replace modem.bin in backup with your file and restore it.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
Or just dd the damn file to the correct partition in a root terminal on the phone (over adb if you like).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] subrashi cat:
This rom is amazing thanks modpunk

There's no battery drain no call or sound problems

But there's two problems I noticed

1. NFC not working

2. WiFi direct also don't work

Other than that everything is ok

And could you add substratum full support?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nicche:
For everyone that have battery/drain issue ( I don't have particular problems yet ) I found this very useful app called ForceDoze basically its

I installed forcedoze yesterday and my battery life is extended a little bit! let me know if will be the same for you!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Tedy36:
Why CPU 4,5,6,7 is stopped at CPU-Z?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] subrashi cat:
Because your battery mode is normal switch to performance to enable the rest cpu
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
My phone suddenly ran out of battery overnight. It was fully charged before i slept, then in the morning (approx after 10 hours) i woke up to find it powered off. This happened to me 2 or 3 times now over the span of 2 months or so, from beta 4 to beta 6. Did this happen to anyone else? What might be the explanation?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] deathdefiler:
Safetynet

first of all, thank you very much for this rom.

i like it very much for daily use

only problem i have is with SafetyNet

i do NOT have any root installed

any ideas how to fix SafetyNet?

for example Pokemongo wont work if SafetyNet fails

i saw this thread https://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/kernel-franco-kernel-r53-t2508284

But those kernel files arent compatible with SM-G850F or at least it says so in twrp or is there something wrong with my twrp because i cant flash those kernel files it says invalid device

is there a kernel file that i can flash to fix SafetyNet ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jrmb:
I was loving this ROM, but I had to Stock for the same thing. Many applications do not work without Safety net
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
It needs a kernel change to lie about the bootloader status as it currently can report it unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jrmb:
Okay, and is there anything we can do for this? The kernel change has to be made for each application or is global for the system?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
There is only one kernel. It's Linux.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jrmb:
Oh sorry. I do not understand much of this :D

But that means it's global right?

Is there anything we can do?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
There is an ethical problem with the needed approach.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] enriq_xda:
I have problems with the camera! Open very slow, install stock gapp and pico gapp, and in both cases opens very slow in some cases nor opens it closes.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ryon21:
As it's necessary to build another kernel , have anyone thought about an Always On Display for this device? I know that our battery discharge really fast, but I'd love to see something like this on my phone. Already tried some apps on the play store but everyone has the same problem, they don't allow my phone to activate dozzzer, forcedoze and greenify at all, and so battery dies in 4-6 hours without using it.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] deathdefiler:
so not so much helpfull info on their site

Only (Some devices pass their bootloader unlock status and verity status to android’s kernel during boot. We don’t purposefully remove those flags, as it isn’t our place to lie about security features.)

Lol so that sucks,

i wish i new more about coding and build a kernel patch

You can always learn. But remember that knowing and caring usually become directly related, so take care you don't find yourself caring when you start knowing :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] a1m:
Anyone have any luck fixing the camera? I've done a fresh install and tried using third-party apps, while the third-party apps are slightly more reliable, I still have to reboot the phone regularly.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
I don't know how you expect to fix the camera by installing apps. We have camera blobs from Lollipop and are running them on Nougat! There is not simple fix for that. The only thing is that we might be able to modify blobs from a newer device which has information about our camera in it too. I'm waiting for Hopper v4 to look into this ...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gabrielking9:
Which device does have this information?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Not the device does have the information, the libraries do ...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] a1m:
It's not that I expected it to, someone mentioned it was more reliable using a 3rd party app, which it is. I appreciate your effort with this ROM, but no need to be condescending...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Sorry.

Hi again,

anyone has a sound issue (mute/noise) when switching during conversation from BT device (headset) and telephone speakers?

Also it's possible to install correctly magisk+hide in this rom and with is the correct sequence? I've try many times but safetynet/pogo/bank detect the phone like rooted.

A big thank to [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] for his great work.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] deathdefiler:
I found this info here on xda Unofficial magisk thread with thanks to [MENTION=7745193]Tenshii23[/MENTION]

dont know if it works on this rom tough

havent tried it yet but gues i wil give it ago

It wont work because i just found out that no xposed for nougat yet

so tried to install marshmellow rom but also no luck there because roms fail to install TWRP say that incompatible device this is for slte and my device is sltexx so LineagOS is the only one that will install

I read in the suhide thread that the last version 0.53 only works with SuperSu v2.78 in systemless mode, so I follow this steps (I came from magisk + phh's superuser + xposed systemless v86.5):

uninstall magisk

uninstall xposed systemless v86.5

reflash magisk v6

flash supersu v2.76(magisk version)

enter the command that I post before in the twrp terminal (echo SYSTEMLESS>> /data/.SuperSU)

flash supersu v2.78

flash xposed systemless v86.2

flash suhide 0.53

wipe dalvik cache / cache

reboot system

enjoy

Edit: FYI, I didn't manage to play PoGo (for example) with xposed systemless v86.5, only v86.2 seem to work.
