Most probably you should edit updater script to replace "slte" with "sltexx". Don't do it, unless you know what you're doing!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
Does anyone mind explaining what slte/sltexx is and how do we know which one we have?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] davidcaicedo123:
The thing is you have to flash TWRP 3.0.3 for the Galaxy alpha, and then flash this ROM, and that's it, this ROM supports the slte/sltexx models.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
Thanks, but i still don't understand what slte/sltexx are.

I flashed TWRP 3.0.3 and then flashed this rom bit then i got stuck in a boot loop, do i reverted back to twrp 2.6. Do you know of an alternative?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] davidcaicedo123:
I had the same issue, the only thing you have to do after flashing the ROM and wiping cache, is you have to turn the phone off and then turn it back on. It's something that has to do with the energy cycle or something like that. But just do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Darkbepo:
From what I gathered, Modpunk added the xx in sltexx to avoid conflict with the cm13 tree path or something like that. We discussed it on the first couple pages.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nicche:
The answer is:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mobeen_farhan25:
.

Can you tell me how to do it? I can try it
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kfo1187:
Before you go, be sure that you have last TWRP (3.0.3.0), that you cannot get out of the loop by replacing the battery and turning on again, and that the error is actually happening because of the wrong model - there has to be an error message during install.

You'll have to unpack installation zip, edit the beginning of the updater script (google "editing updater-script for noobs xdaforums.com", use first link), pack it back and install, disabling signature check.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] davidcaicedo123:
So any solution for the do not disturb mode when calling?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] lukpav15:
I also ask ....? I would very much like to know how to cancel?

Thank you:)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] echo124:
It's not actually the problem, do not disturb turns On on all LOS devices it seems but only mutes earphone on certain devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] davidcaicedo123:
Then what can I do? cause when I call I can´t hear the other person and then I watch the screen and the DND sign is on, when I never turned it on. So any solution, turn it down is the solution or...?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] echo124:
You can hope for modpunk magic.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] davidcaicedo123:
Do you have that problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] echo124:
This is a known problem. If you want a fully working LOS, you might want to wait or switch device. The wieght of all this work is on modpunk :(

[MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] any plans including this device in official LOS builds? :p Look at the stats sir, why not? ;) https://stats.lineageos.org/model/sltexx/
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
Install this audio HAL, it made a big difference for me. There are more instructions in the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] davidcaicedo123:
Can you tell me where do i put that file? And what permissions do I have to give to it?:o
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
/system/lib/hw

use the same permissions as the one already there.

and then run restorecon /system/lib/hw/audio.primary.universial5430.so in Terminal as root

reboot and try.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sandrino1983:
tried but now i can't hear any kind of sound (call, music, notifications....ecc)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
You probably missed the restorecon or didn't reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sandrino1983:
Restorecon done and then reboot....i'm sure
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] frald:
I fix my sound using adb

First you have to enable access root to apps and adb

on your command line :

adb root

adb push audio.primary.universal5430.so /system/lib/hw

adb kill -TERM audioserver mediaserver
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
Do it have the correct owner and permissions?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sandrino1983:
Done!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
I'm not able to do it today, but new beta will be up some time tomorrow morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
BETA5 is live!

Audio fixes, support for light adjustments and security fixes.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gtrs36:
[MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] thanks you, what about the camera?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ryon21:
Device certification

What about the device certification? I can't pass the safety net check and so I can't use some apps, can you solve it in some way [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] ? Anyway best ROM ever, daily use since beta4, really good work :D if this problem is only on me, I installed beta4 from latest stock lollipop ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Patches are welcome!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] echo124:
Could you also add sltexx to the lineage-build-targets file in LineageOS/hudson for weekly 14.1 branch?

Would be great to have official weeklies as soon as they start building. (That would probably save you the time to do the builds yourself).

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Jozefk27:
The audio call not working correctly (Audio breaking during call and caller not hear me), the same with G850FBOU1COL3 and G850FXXU1CPC1. I must go back to Beta4.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
I have a really strange problem that I thought was on my carrier, not the phone. But tested the SIM in another phone today and problem disappeared.

The problem is that when I call someone the dailtones are muted until answer, then sound works ok. This only happens for some certain contacts tho. I have still to figure out why some works and others not. But it's 100% connected to numbers, because ones that work, always work, ones that don't never do.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
I still have beta4 and i have the same problem. I never hear dial tone for some specific numbers, but i do not see how this is caused by these numbers... this never happened when i had stock lollipop.

Another similar problem is not being able to hear anything on some calls (random calls), not the dial tone and not the person. So i see on the screen the person picked up but i cannot hear them (thought they are able to hear me).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] vessk0:
Hello, this ROM is much more usable than beta4, but there are still two major issues.

1. Robotic Voice calls (on random, if you switch between speaker and normal it fixes for the current conversation)

2. Facebook app - everything like the Poke function which calls a new page to load is crashing the app.

3. I cannot restore my installed apps from Play Store in the initial setup. I have to install them manually.

PS: I've installed modem version G850FXXU1COJ5 from the latest stock ROM in Sammobile

Is this the latest one?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sandrino1983:
metallic voice is back for me. in beta4 this problem was solved.

Anyway this rom is great!! thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Ok, then one of the changes I need to drop. Will do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gtrs36:
guys camera working? and how it compare to stock camera?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hbts123:
help me

I installed this beat 5 and now i have 2 questions. How to repair root and how to fix lte (lte doesn't work only h+) pls help me
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
This ROM doesn't have root by default. If you want it you just have to install the add-su - http://downloadmirror.co/Vm8/addonsu-arm-signed.zip

On the LTE issue have you checked your settings? Perhaps it's not enabled....
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sandrino1983:
Another bug (for me).... Can't send SMS.

1 moment in state "sending" and then "touch to retry". Someone facing this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
BETA6 is out.

According to [MENTION=6324150]nuno.f.ferreira[/MENTION] NFC is working ...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
Yes it is. I can read NFC tags just like I used to. Good voice quality on calls is also back, sorry for having mislead you into breaking in beta5.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] harlock999:
Dear All,

My Galaxy Alpha SM-850F keep only starting in TWRP after flashing the rom ?

What got better in camera on beta6?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Read the changelog ...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
You're overrating our understanding in this tech stuff :D
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
What shortcomings do you find with the camera in BETA6?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
I would like to know that myself ;) That changelog is chinese to me :D
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
I have no sound in beta6.

:(
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hbts123:
what about video quality, LTE and call issue ( robotic calls or echo in call) on beta6 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
I have no idea what have happened, flashing back beta5 did not help.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] vessk0:
Is there a way to shoot 4K in LineageOS?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
Receiving a incoming call fixed the issue (in both betas).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
So how is camera quality? Any improvements since Beta 4? In Beta 4 app was crushing frequently and video recording quality was very bad
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nicche:
For the quality of the video I don't have the answer, I haven't recorded any video yet. Instead LTE is good as well as quality of the call now when I call other people they don't hear any robotic voice or echo during the call! ( untill now, of course)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] x33k:
Beta 6 :

1. No camera crash issues, So far with default and 3rd party camera app working just fine

2. No Robotic Call Issues. Even with my older baseband COF1

3. Video quality NOT great, but It's Okay for me, I don't shoot lot of videos. AS far I could get 1920x1080, 3Mbit/s, 30FPS (Will see if i get to 60FPS, and 17Mbit/s anyhow)

4. No echo so far

5. DO NOT DISTURB icon in call.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] frald:
Thanks for beta6 .

But when i'm listenning to the music and i'm receiving a call my audio no longer works, i can't hear and and the microphone not working same if i was listeninig a song and dialing. In add my telephone app freeze i don't know why . I have these problems since beta5

Please help
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hbts123:
With what baseband you use ? becouse on my COI3 i can't use LTE only H+ but on network work mode i have checked LTE?

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Olangu:
LTE works fine for me too, G850FBOU1COL3.

Do you have LTE coverage?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] x33k:
It's my phones default baseband. I used to have CPG1, flashed with odin. Then I needed the Slo-Mo video for a project, hence the Samsung official firmware was required. So I fired up Smartswitch, entered the Device ID found under the battery and did an emergency recovery. It turned the phone into it's default firmware, which is not updated, uses the carriers firmware and baseband which it is supposed(!) to have and contained an android patch from 2015. My project is over and then I flashed Beta 6 and everything is working fine.

To answer your question specifically, My current baseband is G850FXXU1COF1. And it's older than what you have now.

For LTE issue, My suggestion would be, first, try with the baseband you are supposed to have, i.e provided by carriers or phone's default by country. If that doesn't help, use the latest one.

I am not sure how baseband is updated and based on what, but I think there are some complexity which involves hardware level optimization with carriers network. There are so many LTE bands and types. I previously updated baseband with updated Samsung official firmware from sammobile ,flashed via odin, which didn't play nice for me.

So, Yeah! Give it a try. But ALWAYS be careful in the process of tweaking and understand the risk and have even a better understanding of what you are doing.

So far, this Beta6 is Rocking. Thanks again to [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION].

Unless you have hardware malfunction, Disabling touch sound would get your sound back on track. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hbts123:
OK, i will try this ty for help :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] x33k:
Let me explain a bit for you, as i have got some minutes. :D

1. Kernel = Heart of any computation device. It contains all the drivers that talks to the hardware. For example, the audio chip get the instructions from kernel and the kernel with proper driver would know how to talk to that specific chip.

2. Updated mobicore driver from A700F = this is a bit complicated, just know that this A700F uses the same SOC chip as our galaxy. But A700F probably have updated android 7 driver which makes it usable for galaxy alpha and thus fixes related issues

3. Updated camera driver from noblelte = Simply, this driver should solve most camera problem.

4. Fixed NFC = Use near field communication? Well, probably it's going to work.

5. Fixed audio quality issue = having audio quality issue? Probably fixed. Now go ahead and check whether your particular audio issue is fixed or not.

See not that hard! :D Even better if you just try for yourself and see what's going on. Google is always there to explain things. ;):o
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Bigdut:
Hi guys,

with beta 6:

NFC not work like beta 4 the switch in the options is grey and blocked

TORCH not work immidiatly (work fine in beta 4)

Camera not work (work good in beta 4)

Sound and call work better then beta 4.

Questions:

It is better to start from beta1 for example and overwrite with beta 6? Or it is bettere wipe system and data before?

Which configuration of gapp open do you suggest? It is possbile to have a list/log of aroma used by [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION]

Thankyou so much.

You are doing a super great work.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hbts123:
i forgot, can i update beta5 to beta6 without root?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nicche:
yes you can! but after that you have to flash the add-on for the root! you can find the flashable zip in the first post!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Darkbepo:
I'm still on beta 4. Been waiting a bit to update to the new version because of what you guys are saying, but if I do it, it sounds like I might want to update my baseband version first since it's been a while since I updated it. It's on G850FXXU1CPC1, right now but I'm not sure which one is the newest :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] davidcaicedo123:
In calling there's a problem, when I answer I have to put the galaxy in speaker mode because I can't hear the other person if I answer normal, NFC issues too, I can't use it because when I turn it on, it doesn't, just goes grey and blocks. Please fix. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hbts123:
hey, you have baseband from germany yea? everything works fine in this beta6 (LTE, any echo all or robotic call, no camera crash issue) ?

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] aawj:
Is there any chance of ANT+ working in this ROM at some point in the near future, or is it just mine?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
What do you mean by "just mine"? Do you have a Bluetooth patch you want to port to this device?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kres1996:
thanks

Thanks for the work you are doing in lineage 14.1 I am with this rom and it works quite well.

thanks from Spain :)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] aawj:
No sorry, I wondered if it was just mine that didn't work. Tried ANT+ Enabler but still no joy. Super ROM otherwise though.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] justmemike:
can i flash this rom with odin ?? or its better to use OTG ??
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] nuno.f.ferreira:
Most likely the Bluetooth patch ANT+ enabler contains must be adjusted and integrated into modpunk's tree. The first question to ask is if that patch is made available by the developer...

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

OTG through TWRP.

can i change baseband from my stock (COI3) to a different via Odin (indonesia, germany) without any problem with LTE ( network signal), wifi or something
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Ryon21:
with beta6 ROM if I try to turn on the flashlight using the power button when the phone is locked and the screen is off it only freeze and after 15-20 sec the phone reboot itself. (It works on beta5)

The camera works slower than beta5, it needs up to 20 seconds to turn on in whatsapp. With beta5 it works better.

Audio incall is quite good, only metallic voice noticed sometimes. Still automatic activation of DND when I call someone.

Other things, still waiting for device certification in order to use some apps like pokemon go or Android pay in general.

Keep working on this really nice ROM , it becomes better every times I try an update ;)

My hardware keys broke so I want to know how to enable softkeys in this rom

Fixed

It looks likes qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in buildprop is just working fine
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] zapirkon:
Beta 6 camera slow start ~10sec

Flash light slow start

Camera fail to start after close and start agail, somwtimes after one use I need to restert phone

Video seems low quality, and artefacts on detailed scenes

Can't record high framerate video in open camera (in previous beta also)

Sometimes vibration /haptic becomes very subtle

Can't see files when connected via USB (not sure if pc issue)

Otherwise phone is stable and fast

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

Is there a setting or app to toggle thia?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] subrashi cat:
You need root

Root explorer or es file explorer

Open es file explorer gain root access

Then go to /system and open build.prop add after the last line this line ( qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 )

Save and reboot your phone now you have softkeys

I just reflashed my phone with beta6 and everything seems to be working fine. I 'think' battery drain is gone, but will wait for a week or so to confirm this.

I'm trying to flash supersu from the first post but i do not find it in the apps after rebooting. Am i doing this the wrong way?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] echo124:
Tap build number 7 times.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] normis85:
Good to hear! Please let me know how your battery performs ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
Did that, flashed again, didn't get the app, so i installed supersu from play store and then flashed again, supersu then suggested that i update the binary, so i did it using the normal option, it failed, i rebooted and did it this time with the twrp/cwm option, phone rebooted and now is stuck at the loading logo... can't get it to boot...

The same thing happened to me, did you manage to get out of the bootloop?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] echo124:
Developer options.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] O_Yashiro:
Yep. I gave up on supersu and activated root through developer options instead.

Btw, i had to reflash the rom(beta6) to get out of that bootloop(stuck at los boot animation), and i discovered that you can get rid of the missing ringtone for some operators and most call/missing sound issues by flashing dalvik cache through twrp (after flashing the rom). Hope this helps someone.

After some time, i finally started testing the ROM, its fast and smooth, no battery drain, the camera is buggy sometimes to me, sometime slow, but this is typical of AOSP roms, can't complain, really nice work [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION], working with exynos is surely a pain in the ass, but the ROM seems stable for daily use if you consider its a eternal beta!

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] RobWilli:
Hi modpunk,

hi other devs,

hi all,

at first: Thanks for this great ROM and the spend effort to get this running

I just give the Beta6 a short try.

Unfortunately SafetyNet still did not pass. I did some reading and as far as I understand this SafetyNet check the Hardware/Software and try to match it against a list of certificated devices.

I stumbled across this https://xdaforums.com/p8lite/general/patch-how-to-google-device-certification-t3568060, where the fingerprint of the device is fixed to get it verified again.

But I am not (yet) an android dev, so I have no clue there to look for such a fingerprint and how to change it. Maybe the fingerprint from CM13.1 will work.

As I mentioned before, the SafetyNet worked in CM13.1beta7.

It would be really nice to get this working so we can do all the nice stuff like android pay, banking or pokemon ...

Best regards,

RobW
