Obsolete - Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion

Reserved.....

Hello... 'been using this phone for over a year now here is a clean build.prop from 6055B variant!
Also i'd like to help somehow, but I don't know how... I have zero Android dev experience (not really... last phone I ever modded was OT-918D *eons* ago, so it might as well be zero) but i'd be happy to test-drive anything as long as UI & RILd works.
I'll chime-in on Telegram too :good:

This will be the release thread for LineageOS 14.1
***LineageOS 14.1 Test Build for the 6055K is now live on Telegram with Download Link. Bluetooth and Camera aren't working yet***
If you want it to install on other variants, you will need to modify the installer script inside the zip. I'm not going to take the time to modify every Test Build to support every model. I'm running it on 6055U. If you do want to run it on another variant of 6055 and it's not installing, contact me on Telegram and I'll run you through how to modify the installer script to install on your device.
If you have anything to offer or just want to chat, you can find us here: https://t.me/Idol4Homies
Please don't report bugs here, we'd much rather you report any issues on our Telegram Group where the Dev will be able to see. I''m helping where I can and modifying little things but LimitedPython is doing the bulk of the Developing for this phone, please show your support and stop by the group to chat and say thanks.
5-13-2019- LOS 14.1 is currently booting to ADB but not posting yet. Sorting out some GPU issues and hopefully it'll be fully booting sometime this week.
5-14-2019- LOS 14.1 booting to OS. LTE Data and phone service works. Audio and most everything else is still broken currently but being worked on. If anybody has a clue what they are doing or how to help move this along to a public release, please join us on Telegram. I have a test image for people who can lend a hand but I'm not releasing anything publicly yet.
5-17-2019- LOS 14.1 working great so far. The only things not working at this point are Camera and BlueTooth, which hopefully will both be working very soon. I'll release a test build in the next day or so, so others can test. I'll be releasing TWRP and LOS 14.1 for the 6055U and 6055K variants. If you have another model you want supported from the 6055 line, PM me.
5-19-2019- This will work on every 6055 Model guys. That means 6055K, 6055B, 6055U, 6055R and 6055P will all work with this and future roms. No need to worry about "Bricking", as I have released Alcatel Stock Flashing software which will bring most, if not all the Alcatel Qualcomm devices back from the dead.
5-20-2019- Bluetooth fixed and working

I tried to go to your Telegram link for the LOS 14.1 6055U download, but it won't work. Idk why... Could you post a link to it here or something? Thanks in advance!
**scratch that I found it on the donate page**

Hello everyone.
I possess an Alcatel Idol 4 6055K, I would be very much interested in installing Lineage OS on this smartphone but I can't find any other source on the web on how to do it except for this thread.
I understand it should be possible with a release you're posting on Telegram, but if I click on the link it seems I can't acceed to the group.
Do you have any advice on how to try this OS on this marvellous phone?

So, no chance to ever see Lineage released for Alcatel Idol 4?

Yes, 14.1 has been out for a while now and 15.1 works too, I was told that a few days ago by the Dev. Come vist us on Telegram: https://t.me/Android_General_Chat
The Dev is in there and should be able to provide you download links for Los 14.1 or 15.1
We also still need donations as the Dev has lost his Idol 4 and needs a new one to continue making Idol 4 Fully Treble

[NOTICE][HELP] Porting MiUI 7 to the Moto X 2013

Hello,
I'm happy to announce that I'm working on a port of MiUI 7 for our Motorola Moto X 2013 ("ghost").
Some people might already know that someone already made this port which of course it's true, you can see it here. The problem is that this ROM is no longer available for download and it had issues like it wasn't using the latest CyanogenMod 11 ROM and the Stagefright bug wasn't patched. Furthermore, the original author seems to be no longer present on XDA.
I'm using this tutorial in order to make the port. After a lot of days of tries and restart, I managed to compile a fully working and updated CyanogenMod 11 ROM that can be used as a base and I've started to fix some of the rejects caused by the PatchROM.
In order for this port to see the light, I would like some contributions from the community, I'm not an Android expert, it's my first port and I have other projects and real life stuff that gets in my way. So if you wish to help me, all you need to do is clone this repository, fix the rejects (one commit per reject please) and make a pull request. Of course, you will be in the credits.
Thank you for your interest and the support in this project.

Looks very interesting, thanks!
The build is very experimental and nowhere near ready. Some bugs include, Sound, Camera, Wifi however it boots. I dont have a cyanogenmod account so i didn't post it there
What Gapps are you guys using for this?

ZTE said that they were going to do everything they could to help officially support Cyanogenmod on the Axon 7. Well, that project is now called Lineage OS. It would make me feel better if we could get an official response from ZTE. Otherwise, I'm just going to assume that they're just like every other Chinese manufacturer, and only care about releasing new phones instead of supporting older ones (I'm looking at you Huawei).

From what I recall, the agreement ZTE made was with an employee of Cyanogen. That person (who provided backing & assistance to the Cyanogenmod project) has since left the company, and Cyanogen Inc. has gotten out of the whole "community OS" aspect of the company, and closed Cyanogenmod up. The community that operates Lineage has no sort of ties to ZTE, nor business ties to another company (like Cyanogenmod was to Cyanogen Inc.).
ZTE did, however, send some files to the volunteer community team working on CM13. iirc, it wasn't all that helpful, but it was something at least...
LineageOS will officially support the Axon 7. Now only an early alpha is available with the typical problems of early versions, however an official support means a commitment. I contacted them to let them know that the ROM in the official page was for another device. They fixed it after a few hours with the LineageOS 14.1 v2016.12.30, they also told me that there will be more news on this device very soon.
Fingers crossed that very soon means this week. I can't believe the amount of love the one+ receives over our A7. We have dual speakers & an SD slot!!!

They don't...our Lineage support was done by a team member not even by me. Support for 14.1 is not true though. I'm the only person at the moment who has 14.1 in development. Although ZTE has nothing to do with Lineage support they have provided me code to help bringup N development.
Nice to hear that they are helping.

LineageOS officially supporting the ZTE Axon 7 doesn't mean ZTE is supporting LineageOS. There are dozens of devices supported by LineageOS without official support from their manufacturers. However the success of Nougat for this device will depend on the release of the kernel code by ZTE to everyone.

These are good, very good news. If ZTE is willing to share their code, even before the official release, custom ROMs will have a much quicker development time, less buggy, and more people will purchase this excellent device. ZTE seems to be learning the lesson.
I am looking forward to the development for this device and the ZTE Axon 7 mini.
Hope there will be a lot of alternative ROMs ... :good:
Thanks in advance to @Unjustified Dev

Builders thread only!!
Looking for pioneer compilers. I know I'm capable of bringing los 15.1 to kiwi but I lack the resources at this time to build.
For those who already have trees set up I can guide u through commits to make a successful compilation.
Use this thread for commits and compilation inquiries only!!
1. Check commits from los for same chipset on kernel and device config.
2. Trial build on your private tree before making commits to github.
3. Never post untested builds.
All the commits are out there. Our respective builders on los have so many other devices to build for.
I've pioneered lg and Samsung devices w help from @ShadySquirrel to unsuspecting platforms.

Not to spam but ,compilation is a thing but will it boot correctly ?
I have trees. See your PMs.
To add more detail...
We're already compiling and have plenty of logs. Everything bootloops at ROM logo. See github.com/kiwi-o
Great to see you guys trying, fantastic !
Keep up the great work guys. Maybe this will become one of those great legacy phones.
Are you still working on this guys? I haven't seen any commits for a while

odds are yes, but its an old device and a crappy budget one so dont get your hopes up. i just got a 1+5t 128GB for $475 USD. i suggest you move on and find another device. the devs will probably succeed in porting Oreo but it will take along time since its not a very easy thing to do.
you should check in maybe every few weeks and if you really want oreo on this device, i suggest that you donate to the kind devs that develop for this device. btw, they do this for free so keep that in mind. cheers!
Do you need beta testers for lineage 15.1 ?

There's nothing to test, because it bootloops.

Testers wanted Ressurection Remix Pieand Oreo

I'm going to start building ressurection remix both pie and oreo for the note pro 12.2 P900 and T900. However I don't have the device at the moment. I'm looking for testers as I don't have the device so expect bugs and things to be potentially broken. I will be posting builds here and when things are more stable I will make a post in the development section. If you are interested please join the telegram group

Bless you:laugh: I'm pretty busy, but I'm willing to try when I can and give feedback. I've got a P900 wifi with twrp 3.1.1. Lineage 14.1 rooted with magisk.
That's great news.
Got a P900 v1awifi now running with TWRP 3.3.0-0, LOS 14.1 unofficial plus Magisk and nano Gapps.
I also have a P900 and I could test your builds from time to time.
Thanks a lot!!!!
will test, but at this point, focus only on pie, and at one device at once, but thanks for your efforts man
When will the ressurrection pie for samsung p900 be release here?

Thanks everyone who replied. I will try and get my hands on a device as soon as I have the money however I am an unemployed student on the plus side at least I have time to build . Pie would be simply amazing. All the sources are there so when i get time I will start building. I'm really jealous of the IPad pro on the IOS side so this is the next best thing. Pity there are no more really big android tablets to replace the note pro though. But if I can build pie it dosen't matter anyway. Once RR works and is stable I might start building some other Pie roms like Lineage OS 16 or AOSP Extended
Add me to the list of testers.

I, also, would like to be a tester.
i also have an P900 wifi tablet, want to add me to test branch
This is indied the only large android tab out there ^^ hope it can survive a few years extra with pie update

I will build as soon as possible hopefully by weekend. I first need to fix my broken unbootable manjaro(linux) system once that is done I'll start building. I hope to get the first unnoficial build up by monday. Fixing bugs will be interesting as I don't have the device and I'm new to android development . It's also end of semester and I have deadlines that need to be met. I'll do my best though. I will post the testing builds on this thread I'll setup a telegram or discord where people can report issues.
I have a P900 running Lineage 14.1 (not sure what version of TWRP).
Anyway I am willing to be a tester.
I am not familiar with generating logcats (or any other logging software) but I am willing to help.
I'll test. P900
I would like to participate as well. As I see so far, I would be the only one for the T model
p900 pie please
Sorry guys the build has been pushed back till next week anyone interested in being a tester feel free to join my telegram group I have setup. I will release builds on xda as well as on the telegram channel. Any questions feel free to ask on telegram rather than XDA. Ressurection remix Unnoficial by minilandl

any update on the pie builds? I im not asking for an ETA, but want some info if there are some compiler bugs or somting like that? And how's ure pc doing?
"Haven't Tried just saying thankyou and being nice .I will never buy a samsung device as I dont like the company and how everyone buys them and becides the Oneplus 3 has much better development. "
I have a sm-p900. What made you change your mind?
Please release pie for this device.

Development of Lineage OS 17.1 & OrangeFox

Hi everyone, I decided to develop LineageOS 17.1 and OrangeFox recovery for Nokia 6 for personal use. Anyone interested?
EDIT:
Hi guys, I apologize for my absence but I have been busy with my life and work. The project is going well, I have removed several errors due to the source code of the device
LineageOS build will be 18 with Android 11, get ready! I need your support to continue
sure, why not I was waiting to someone to make custom rom (A10+) for this device for so long. glad that your developing this for us. thank you very much! goodluck~ ?
Yeah. We are waiting for custom roms for this device. Good luck. Happy compiling. ?
I'd love to have android 10 on my Nokia 6! Are you targeting the 2017 Nokia 6, or the newer 6.1? I'd love to help but I don't know much about android roms/rom porting. I have a TA-1033 as my daily driver, so I could test builds on that (if they don't brick my phone :^) ). Good luck!
yes of course we're interested with your initiative! looking forward on your progress & good luck!
Count me in!
Nokia 6 TA-1025 (2017) and I'm all in!
Count me in too, can't wait for the first beta version, im using Nokia 7 TA-1021.
Of course, OP! In the EOL of device, what would be better than a custom ROM support. Good luck in your development, OP.
P.S.: I suggest checking pirrat25's PLE device tree to start. They got things already working there.

Yes, very much interested. Looking forward to your custom ROM! Please keep us posted always.
Hello, during the lockdown I've tried to port Lineage OS 17.1 to our device, unfortunately after the build process I wasn't able to make it boot successfully.
The source trees that I used are on Github.
Device tree: https://github.com/sguerrini97/android_device_nokia_PLE
Vendor tree: https://github.com/sguerrini97/android_vendor_nokia_PLE
Kernel tree: https://github.com/sguerrini97/android_kernel_nokia_msm8937
This was my first attempt ever to port a custom ROM on a device so I may have done some simple mistakes that some more experienced developer can spot
I cannot dedicate too much time on this project right now but I will be glad to help if somebody wants to keep this going.

FYI: 4PDA links are prohibited on XDA forums
If I'm being honest, the Nokia 6 2017 is one of the best mid range phones out there and it is sad that only one developer is taking interest in this phone. I think it's because of the robust bootloader and more. Yes, Nokia messed up so bad on the Android Pie update. WE NEED MORE DEVELOPERS ON THIS DEVELOPMENT.
Any updates about project?
