[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12.1 for Alcatel ONETOUCH IDOL 3 5.5

[brian117]

Kindly posting this announcement for the dev and/or any other respected member of XDA with porting experience. This focuses mainly on T-Mobile users who lost the ability to use WiFi Calling after purchasing this phone. CM 13, when released, will have T-Mobile's WiFi Calling baked in. This is the greatest news since sliced bread. Myself and others have sacrificed the WiFi Calling feature to save money and switch to an unlocked non-Tmobile branded phone without the feature. Since CM 12.1 was ported successfully to the Idol 3 and shown it is capable, hopefully CM 13 will be ported too. Announcement here:

I have a 6045i and I found this rom to be very nice in all. However after turning off a bluetooth headset I cannot get the phones speakers to work at all. I tried rebooting, sound settings, installing viper. Nothing seems to work. Installed a second bluetooth speaker and it works too, the headset jack works, just not the phones speakers/microphone. Any ideas?

Well I can confirm that "ok google" did not work while the phone was connected via bluetooth to the car...not sure if that is related. I would have expected the phone's microphone to continue working if nothing else.

A really strange side effect is the camera now also works only when a bluetooth audio device is enabled....it's like the whole main sound device took a dump.

Hey guys.
I flashed the 30/10 build,and I have a problem...
Its very unstable. Simple actions lead to a forced reboot.
Should I try the previous build?

If you have the 6045i you should install the 10.29 build. I have not had a single crash or reboot since installing it. Search back a few pages and you'll find a link to it.

To Recap:


10/29 build + libril.zip + banks dynamic gapps (a google on banks gapps will take you right to it) for 6045i.
10/30 build + libril.zip + banks dynamic gapps for the other models. (6045Y, 6045K).

Look here to find the latest banks gapps: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=profile&uid=23060877490004802 You want the 5.x.x version. 6.x is for marshmallow/cm13

Look here to find the 10/29, 10/30, libril and over time newer builds: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=41299

I have the 6045K(even tho the system NOW shows 6045X). The 30/10 build would freeze and force reboot when I would use Settings for longer than a few seconds.

However,the 29/10 build stuttered a bit in the beginning, but now its snappy.

The only different thing I did while flashing the 30/10 build was that I flashed the Slim Zero gapps,not the gapps provided.

And by the way... Can I enter TWRP without using adb on PC?

Ok so perhaps only the 6045Y can run 10/30 smoothly. You can enable advanced boot menu in developer settings and it gives an option to reboot to recovery when power is pressed. Your gapps is probably fine...just know Banks has a long history of being rock solid and it's minimal so you can add the parts you want..pretty much it just adds libraries and the play store. The gapps provided is "Open Gapps" which is also not the one I'm recommending..bottom line just pick a reliable one.

It helps if you specify your model. It helps even more if you take the time to grab a logcat and attach it to the post. Depends on how badly you want the issue fixed.

Due to my computer being down, I won't be able to build until next week when my power adapter arrives. I just wanted to give you all an update that development hasn't stopped but has been postponed until.

I'm using CM 12/12.1 WS Dark from play store
It's a paid theme though but awesome
And for the status bar....I used Flat Style Bar Indicators xposed module.
Lots of customizable features. Worth checking it out!

I use "Euphoria Dark CM12 Theme" which is also free.

On Nov 12 the Dell Green CM12 Theme by CriGio dropped from $1.13 to Free. It reminds me of Inversion UI just at a glance: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dell.green.smooth

Here's a couple of others that recently dropped to free:

To anyone on 10/29, are you having any issues with youtube, where the video will flicker in landscape? Sometimes it only happens when turning the phone to the right, other times to the left, and every once in a while in any direction. I went back to beta v1 due to this, but find it hard to believe nobody else has had this issue. 6045i, of course.
