Hello

Many thanks for this, gives new life to an old but very convenient phone. Just don't like heavy, large devices and this one suits perfectly my needs.

I followed the procedure and worked fine with the exception of the camera, which showed black screen, error message and took like 20 seconds to load when it worked at all. That went on for like two days. I also found out that magisk was not installing from the manager so I downloaded and flashed from TWRP. From that point on the camera works flawlessly. Coincidence??

What is not working is the bluetooth connection with the car (same issue as posted above, metallic noise, impossible to use), and obviously the fingerprint sensor.

Is there any way to make the bluetooth connection work?

Thanks,

JW

Hi

but you can explain in more detail how you set it up in stages.

and the camera really works without failure and errors and does not hang?

Re-start camera module without hot booting

Hello, thanks to all who created this ROM. It is really fast and stable, unfortunately apart from the camera. It crashes very often and only re-booting (hotboot is enough) makes it function again.

So, is there a way to re-start the camera module without re-booting the OS ?

Any idea is very much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] msbln:
My own observations:

Uninstalling any other camera APP improves stability. Subsequent camera crashs recover through relaunching itself which takes a few seconds. Not perfect but by far better than hotboot. In case of a less frequent but sometimes still happening unrecoverable crash I found com.exlyo.camerastarter to be working, re-establishing communication to/from camera module again without any os-rebooting.

Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] iqbalhapid18:
Just download at official page RR and find sltexx directory for old version. There are three folders for experimental weeky and official. Choose one for last built. I recomend for official built, quite stable for daily use .

I found a strange way to fix camera and works faster without getting slow or lag. Just pull out the battery for a minute and turn on again. I did once and never getting camera error again. Is anyone getting problem about recorded video with inbuilt intagram camera for ig stories? The video result so broken and stutter with glitch. I dont know how to fix this. May be the problem is about around encoder for ig video.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Robotu:
Hi guys!

Please, one of you, if can help me!

I've already tried the last two versions of this ROM, each one a few times, and i have the same issue - Google Play Service does not let me to connect to google account, the UI of the login it is becoming blank and unresponsive, no mather clean data and cache of each Google App or the OS itself...

I have also tried with different packages of opengapps...!

Please, help!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] msbln:
What did you flash? How and in what sequence?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Robotu:
I tried the first time with the Aroma Package, and then with the stock package, and after that with the full package... The same thing each time!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] MikeT.:
Try it with smaller gapps packages, pico, nano or micro..
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Robotu:
It worked with pico!

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] crosstiger:
I tried this rom in hope it would fix Samsungs mysterious battery drain but unfortunatly it doesn't. I have a brand new Bluestar 2200mAh battery which i'm very positive it's perfectly fine. I charced the phone on friday afternoon (around 4 pm) and left it idle. Next day around 6pm the battery went from 70ish% down to 15% within 30 min.

On the stock rom you would notice that the phone is really warm (cpu around 50c) and the cpu is under 100% load. With this rom the cpu is not under 100% load but occationally sits at 50c as well and the 4 A15 cores are reported as offline or battery saving mode (or whatever it's called). They will never "wake up" until a cold reboot.

Cold rebooting is also the only way to stop the battery drain... I'm not blaming this rom. It's just odd that this doesnt seem to be an issue with the firmware itself :(

G850K

Hey there. I'm using g850k. I have installed this rom, everything is working, except modem. IMEI has been lost. Can you help me with this modem problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Robotu:
Hi guys!

Is this ROM using only 4 cores (G850F) or am i missing something...!!??

Only 4x1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 are active, even on 100% CPU usage...!

Why is that...?

Thank you!

---------- Post added at 03:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 AM ----------

Same here, A15 are offline...!!

What do you meen by "cold reboot"...!!??
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] crosstiger:
Shut down the phone, wait a few seconds and turn it back on.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Robotu:
There is no rule man, sometimes it starts with both CPU and most of the times start without A15, and even when it starts with both, after the screen is of and the CPUs enter deep in sleep for the first time, when you wakeup the phone it will be without A15 untill the next reboot (if you are lucky).

This a stupid issue - i can not believe it exist, and i can not believe nobody noticed till now.

I have 2 Alpha 850F and the issue is the same in both of them.

I bet nobody will come with an answer very soon because nobody knew, is something too new and unknown for everybody.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Robotu:
And i am pretty sure that this issue is present in many other multi CPU devices with custom ROMs... but nobody noticed yet...

I came here exactly to raise this issue, and you already posted something about it...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] og_kalu:
Ok so great Rom. So far No major bugs or anything like that. In fact, my only complaint is the that I'm unable to use the finger print sensor.

I know the problem is that fingerprint on Samsung devices is baked into touchwiz and so I need a touchwiz based rom to use it. I'm just posting this to see if anyone knows any fix or wayout. Thanks

I know they did something on that for the s5 but I haven't seen anything for the galaxy alpha.

Greetings
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] DaneFTO:
Nice fast Rom, a couple of things. Once the rom is installed and on reboot then it is no longer rooted after.

1) Why is it not still rooted after reboot?

2) Audio and mic stop working frequently on and during calls.

3) Whilst on a call, the call audio is very loud and as a previous poster added, sounds distorted and very metallic. (There is not point posting a solution or link for us unless there is a step by step process on what to do)

4) Camera works most of the time, sometimes sticks but video recording does not work at all.

5) Bluetooth calling does not work either on a car kit or hands free. Again, someone has mentioned this but the solution is hard to understand.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] subrashi cat:
For the root you just need to download the su-addon from the lineage thread

The video recording don't have any solution right now

Other problems I too need a guide for because I can't understand how to run them
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] BlueGig:
Wow. it worked. Nice. Thank you.

I did use the developer mode.

But I think you can just open the terminal console to enter

"setprop audio_hal.force_voice_config wide"

Do not forget to restart your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
You could try 3rd party camera, like Google Camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Bunkier:
Hi. First of all thanks guys for a great rom. This is the best what could happen to all Alpha owners.

Now.. going to the point. I got the latest rom from you and have also problems with camera (the app is freezing and crashing).

I've tried another google camera and many more from google store but they all giving the same result..

I've also tried cleanig caches at app and at twrp. Still nothing..

Anyway do you have any idea how to fix this or have any 3rd party camera app with working recording??

Thx a lot for all you did/doing/will do for Alpha community.. Best wishes.. :good::good::good:

So I can't pass the safety net even though i'm not rooted. After a little digging, i found it's because my kernel reports l have an unlocked bootloader. Apparently, I have to flash a custom kernel that doesn't do this. Can anyone please help on which to flash. And is there another way to fix the issue ?

WiFi hotspot not working well... Other device like mobile laptop can not connect to it...

I have Samsung alpha 850Y... Its a clean install... Also audio patch that replace file of audio config was working great but I have to replace it today again...

Jio apps still manage to draw over other apps even permission is not granted for draw over... Is it security problem? I double check option of permission its "no"... But still come over even I watching videos...

Also screen flicker if brightness low...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
Audio gone again from videos and music and loud speaker in call... Happened just now when battery low... I think something turned off speaker when battery low.... Now charging but no voice.. Also replaced audio config file two times... Still no audio... Will check later after battery charge....

Camera is better then previous weekly build... But with problems..

If flash is auto or on it flash on two times to capture image..around 5 second it is taking for a picture.. But if flash off captured instantly...

No sound problem..

Performance seems good...

Battery I don't know now i will tell tomorrow... So far seems good then last build...

Problem : showing my device name as 850F rather then 850Y... :silly:

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
So which one I should use? Weekly? You said no change in code... So is there isn't any improvement? Like camera or WiFi hotspot problem.... (Hotspot work fine when its open(no password) )

I am a bit confused...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
[MENTION=5195033]gajendra.godara1988[/MENTION] If the experimental build works better on your device, you can stick with that. I still need to check all features until I move my commits to the "weekly" build environment...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
I am still with experimental.. Working fine... No audio problem come so far which was in weekly build... I can't check call messages thing because I have LTE sim and its company have its app which call through internet (VoIP)... Do you think if there is any chances to get volte in this device... ( you didn't answered it before ;) )

Thank you for this ROM...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
[MENTION=5195033]gajendra.godara1988[/MENTION] Does your mobile provider support VoLTE for your device officially by providing customized stock firmwares? You need a specific modem firmware that makes VoLTE possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
Its jio the mobile provider.. And this network only work on lte network... Its support volte for calls... But as far as I know it doesn't provide any firmware... Just mobile need to support volte... You just need to buy smartphone that support volte feature... It provide app for non volte phone to call...

Anyway if it modem thing can I customize any other modem file from phone that support volte and flash in this? Is it possible?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
[MENTION=5195033]gajendra.godara1988[/MENTION] You can try to update the modem. Does VoLTE work for you on stock ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
No... Its not working in stock...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
Volte works in Samsung a7 same exynos5.... But not works in alpha 850y stock.... Modem from a7 can be tweaked and use here? Is it possible?

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
That's the weekly build. I don't release experimental builds ota. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
Then there's probably no chance to get VoLTE working in a Custom ROM when it's not working in Stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gajendra.godara1988:
Samsung a7 has same processor like alpha... That support volte... So still no chances to Port codes from a7...

Hi. My girlfriend has Alpha and using your newest rom from 24.06. She's very happy about performance and battery life so far. She has only problems to start some online games. The screen goes black and comes back to home screen.. There was no problems with rom from 23.06 to start the same games before. I have done the dirty install of new rom on place of one from 23.06 and I'm not sure is that whats making problems? Is it Anyone else has similar problem? :confused:

Btw. I tried Tit beckup but still the same.. What could that be?:rolleyes:
