FL Simcard not detected on latest build

Hello,

after flashing the latest build lineage-15.1-20180416-UNOFFICIAL-a3y17lte.zip via TWRP on my A320-FL the SIMcard will not be detected. On the previous OS(Stockrom) it could be detected and on other phones the Simcard works too.

Edit: Installing APKs also doesnt works, klicking on a .apk file doesnt triggers any action.

Greetings, Blono

but i think fingerprint and Wifi Hotspot are 101% worth

It's just 1 % more xd
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] enjoy_life:
Hey [MENTION=7698739]McFy[/MENTION], when I connect the smartphone to the PC(Win 10 x64), it starts charging, however the phone filesystem is inaccessible. For that, I need to go to charging options in the drop-down menu and select Transfer Files. That works.

I have two questions:

1) Even though I have Transfer Files set as default in developer options, why does it fall back to charging only when I connect my A3 to PC?

2) Even when I manually select Transfer Files, this works for about 15-20 seconds. I can copy files to the phone during this short time. But after those 15-20 seconds the file system of the phone becomes inaccessible, however I don't do anything. Can you reproduce this? If yes, can you fix this? If no, why it may happen?

I flashed the last version of Lineage on a completely clean, formatted phone, with nano gapps. Using TWRP 3.2.1.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] McFy:
Hey, I don't know if it is a bug or aosp is like this, and no it work well for me on usb 2.0 on Linux
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] enjoy_life:
Alright then, can anyone sitting on Windows 10 confirm the issues I'm seeing?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] SK00RUPA:
For A5 it's also present, but for me simply changing usb port helps
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] enjoy_life:
I don't know what exact issue you're referring to as to being fixed in that way.

I have 10 USB ports (2 - on a separate controller) on the MB. I tried them all. They all behave the same. After connecting A3 2017 with the latest Lineage it starts charging the device. Then I pull down the curtain and select "Transfer files" (I'm not sure why I should do that in the first place, since transferring files is enabled as a default option in the developer options). So after doing that, I can see the A3's file system and copy/paste files from/to it. But that period lasts only about 15-20 seconds. Even though "Transfer files" is still enabled in the phone, I'm unable to access file system in it any more.

Do you see what I mean? So, the questions are:

1) Why should I enable "Transfer files" manually by pulling down the curtain of options from the top of the screen, while this is enabled by default in developer options?

2) Why does the file system on the phone become inaccessible after 15-20 seconds on ANY usb-port?

I know for a fact that all this should NOT happen, since on stock 8.0 after connecting the phone to PC, the phone asks me whether to allow the PC to the phone's content or not. If I press "Allow", then the file system on the phone is accessible and stays accessible forever. This leads me to the conclusion that the anomalies I'm describing are potential bugs, which need to be fixed.

I think I was clear enough to explain the problems and I think [MENTION=7698739]McFy[/MENTION], you need to look into these issues. Most of us are not on Linux, after all. :)
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] Klaerchen:
LineageOS (and Cyanogenmod before) behaves that way since at least Marshmallow, so no new thing. But annoying indeed.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] enjoy_life:
Really? I'm baffled nobody has fixed this since then!!
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] Kurt Krummbein:
Its intended behaviour, charging is default, if you want do transfer files, you have to select transfer mode. The phone presents its data only when i ask it to.

Gtz

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] enjoy_life:
[MENTION=4179977]Kurt Krummbein[/MENTION]

Please elaborate on how exactly this is an intended behavior.

I enter developer options, find the "Select USB Configuration" and set it to "MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)". What does simple logic tell us as to what should happen when I connect my phone to PC?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] Andriano24:
You need to reflash the firmware via Odin and then flash the Rom. (Bear in mind the RMM state)

[MENTION=7698739]McFy[/MENTION] sir, how about this rom's progress?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] y2kadir:
yes.. is there any progress with gps problems?? or phone calls. has anyone a fix to Patch manually in existing 1604 rom?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] nutsh:
It will be ready when it's ready. McFy is doing this for free in his own time. Nothing to be done but waiting. Maybe donation would boost his productivity.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] Daduk:
We appreciate McFy's work but I think it's not hard to only tell us how things are going. I think it's not a problem at all... Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] McFy:
I fixed nfc, gps seem to be fixed, I don't know yet when I will release but I hope it to be soon, Too I expect to share a bug less rom. I need just to adjust things and test it to see if all work in daily life !

Regards :)
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] y2kadir:
thx for the quick and dirty informations. keep going on ;)
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] king006:
Have you found and solved the problem of me? Or can I debug for you?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] y2kadir:
one question to mcfy. are there any fixes on mic or speaker problems? I checked that errors do not only affect on phone calls

I had an incomming whatsapp voice call and if I accepted this call the app was saying wait or stopp the app. I also found out that during this effect, the phone was changed to do not disturb mode, but I didnt activate this.

Also listening to music with headset and accepting an Incomming Phone call has same effects that phone app is waiting or proposing to close app. the phone call is not established but is also not possible to Hangout the call.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] SK00RUPA:
Everyone want fixes, but no one doing any logs. Guys, is it hard to spend five minutes to do a logcat & dmesg and upload it to del.dog for example ? Believe me, a few logs about the same issue from a few people with the same phone helps a lot in a debugging process.

[MENTION=7698739]McFy[/MENTION] awesome to see almost a stable ROM when I remember you starting with almost unbootable state. Keep going and cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] WiwiPouPou:
[MENTION=7698739]McFy[/MENTION] did you implement the Colorado saturation settings too ?

If it is the case, indeed it will be perfect.

Just tested stock A320F Oreo on my FL, lag began to appears, distorted audio.. can't wait for Lineage !

I just want you to know what impact such work has and how much advantage in daily use it can offer for many users.

I just switched from my 10 year old Sony Ericsson active (St17i - satsuma) Ultra Slim CM 10

To this ****ty Samsung software

after many years with several devices - BUT NEVER STOCK FIRMWARE - to the a3 and I sincerely can assure you that every minute of use from keyboard to settings is slowly killing me and driving me to thinking about throwing the phone out on the street.

I really can't wait for the next release that will also be my first for the fact I just read all the pages and it seems like you on to something there.

To all the others and some in particular I want to thank you for answering some of the questions during the last 48 pages and giving links to other posts to take away some work for mcfy
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] leo31:
actually, we are on the same boat. i never use stock firmware.

but it is kind of different situation here, samsung stock are good (in this case, a3 2017 stock nougat), but custom rom are better because there are so many bloatware and useless apps removed.. but since a3 2017 version is very less of custom rom development wherever, we just can wait [MENTION=7698739]McFy[/MENTION] to made it perfectly.

samsung is very complicated,,

Great work ! GPS and Fingerprint work like charme now. NFC and Bluetooth do not. Did a clean flash. I will do further testing and get back.

Also screen stays dark after fingerprint unlock sometimes.

[MENTION=225364]McFly[/MENTION] Amazing ! I see there is no signature spoofing, that's ok! But do you know if the FakeGApps xposed to get signature spoofing, or the nanodroid patch would work on you rom?

I am on your remix build and i am thinking about switching to this one to get rid of everything google related.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] McFy:
I don't plan to release a build with signature spoofing only but one build with and one without due of security point, I will implement on a build soon. I never tried thoses so I can't tell, might someone on xda using them telling you :)

Hey, from some return nfc doesn't work on A320FL variant, for people wanting it just flash the attached file :) (report me if it work)
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] trollen102:
When i try to wake up with fingerprint screen just goes black until I lock then unlock with Powe button.

So to unlock I need to press power first witch is slower :/

But overall fingerprint is much faster than on stock!
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] McFy:
You can too push instead of touch the fingerprint sensor, it's a bug that i can fix by making fingerprint only work when pressing it. But I don't think it's a good idea for people not using aod
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] trollen102:
Oh yeah!

Pressing the home button work good too! Didn't realise that thanks. I don't have to use power button
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] itachilinux:
I disabled the Always-on-display and you can touch it instead of pressing. (But I still using ambient display while Lifting my phone to check the notifs).

Yes, that's the known issue on our device.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] yass:
[MENTION=8555433]farfromrefuge[/MENTION], I can confirm that the Xposed and FakeGApps signature spoofing works on the RR build, as I am using that now on my device. Ive used the same setup on the previous Lineage build (april).

EDIT: I am on a SM-A320F/DS variant btw.

Best regards,

yass
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] farfromrefuge:
Yes i can confirm it works too on that lineageos build!

- install lineageos

- dont install GAPPS!

- install magisk

- install xposed through magisk

- install FakeGapps through xposed and activate it

- install microg through magisk.

- Done no more Google !

Thank you for the new build! My one problem with switching from LTE to 2G or 3G has been solved! ;)

Unfortunately, my problem with the forwarding option has not been solved and even got worse. The network connection disappears and now no longer returns. A reboot of the device only solves this.

Did you think of a solution for this problem? or were you still working on this?

Thank you McFy for the new release. The Netflix app suddenly works alright :)

**edit

after reboot, media storage work fine, i dont know what did i do before.

-- camera works better than you RR rom, still a problem with a camera when u try to take picture with flash toggle : on. it just turned the flashlight on, but didnt take any picture, but if the flash toggle : auto , the flash light is working fine but u need to take picture in low light condition since the flashlight is set to auto.

i just want to say MANY MANY THANKS for [MENTION=7698739]McFy[/MENTION]

'ALL HAIL [MENTION=7698739]McFy[/MENTION] !!!'

Installed latest build today, tried with and without the "nfc fix zip" can't enable nfc at all ;/

Bluetooth works fine, but when my headphones are connected and nothing i playing I hear some random silent static and poping - didn't happen with stock firmware, but is is such niche and small issue I would ignore it.

Other than that rom feels very fast and well

Edit:

Google Pay will not work - with Magisk(tired 16.0 and 16.4) installed safety net reports "ctsProfile: false" - will work after using MagiskHide Props Config - picked fingerprint for samsung A8 - safetynet passes, allows me to use Google Pay - except can't turn on the NFC ;/

Issues

Black screen if i don't press home button while unlocking using fingerprint with aod ON

Facebook messenger calling hangs, cannot end call or anything, i have to restart phone.

Other than that there is no problem, very smooth and speedy. Battery time is also better than stock rom.

Log is attached right after facebook messenger crashed.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] y2kadir:
Fingerprint works.

gps fixed and working. Bluetooth is working with a pebble watch. issue with reactivation is correct, only possible to activate again after reboot.

problems with calls (WhatsApp.facebook.phone) hanging is correct if accepted with speaker.

device name is wrong. I have a a320fl but shown as a320f.

the new release 1705 is more stable and battery drain is less than on 1604.

thx mcfy.

how I installed:

I did a dirty flash from 1604 to 1705 and it worked. I had to reinstall gapps because they were crashing after install of rom. magisk v16 also working and also xposed is running perfectly.

A big thank again for this ROM. I rooted it yesturday, took me maybe one hour, more or less.

Same for me, everything looks working fine for my utilisation. Only issue so far is with BlueTooth. Fails to reactivate it afer deactivation. Only a phone reboot gives back the BT working.

Thank you !

build from source: missing features

Has anyone build from source and has all the features like GPS, subkey light, brightness slider, fingerprint (-sensors) working? I dirty flashed self build builds since march and am missing those features (BT works fine, GPS did work until an update in april)

I assume i am missing something during building.

(I build myself because i need package signature spoofing available.)

[MENTION=7698739]McFy[/MENTION] told me that the bugs are not fixed if one builds directly from the sources. So this is expected (though not desired) behavior.

When a 16 years old dev do better than a Samsung team (probably not really happy with the result after raping AOSP feel so much).
