[rom] [android 5.0.2] [lollipop] [cm12 unofficial] galaxy s3 alpha sc-03e ntt docomo

DISCLAIMER: YOU WILL BE FLASHING YOUR PHONE AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE, SO MAKE SURE YOU ARE WELL INFORMED AND WELL PREPARED BEFORE DECIDING TO FLASH OR INSTALL ANYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE.
I created this thread with the sole aim of helping the owners of the Japanese SAMSUNG GALAXY ALPHA SC-03E NTT DOCOMO to install the latest version of Android (LOLLIPOP) on their devices without much hassle. All updates will be provided in the future.
All THANKS GO TO @ma34S :good: FOR COMPILING THIS ROM FOR US WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR A LONG TIME AND FINALLY ITS HERE.
REQUIREMENTS
1. A properly functioning SAMSUNG GALAXY ALPHA SC-03E NTT DOCOMO. We don’t want to receive any feedback from users with faulty phones.
2. PERMANENT ROOT WITH SU INSTALLED
IF YOU ARE RUNNING A CUSTOM ROM 4.X AND HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLED SKIP TO “THINGS TO DOWNLOAD”
If you don’t have root and you are running on the stock android 4.3 or 4.x here is a simple way to root your device. All the CF Auto Root methods I found never worked for me.
a. Firstly, you are probably on an older OS like 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3. You might loose all your data depending on your OS(I was running the 4.3 SC03EOMUBND2 and I didn’t loose anything, not sure of 4.1 and 4.2)
b. Download one of these stock rooted roms.
4.3 SC03EOMUBND2 or 4.3 SC03EOMUBNH2
c. Download Samsung drivers here and install it
d. Download Odin on your PC and open it
e. Make sure USB debugging is enabled on your phone in developer settings.
f. Hold the Power Button + Volume Down + Home at the same time. Your phone will enter Download Mode.
g. Now connect your phone to the PC via USB cable whiles Odin is opened.
h. Now in Odin click the PDA button and open the Rom that you downloaded earlier.
i. Make sure F.Reset time and Auto reboot are all ticked
j. Now click Start button and wait for it to display PASS at the top left corner. Your Phone might restart a few times.
k. After the Last restart and the Display of the Pass you should have root now with super su installed.
l. Congrates you have root.
m. If you have an NK2 rom go check this thread on how to root it.
3. FULLY CHARGED BATTERY. This is to prevent the phone from going off in the flashing process
4. A CUSTOM RECOVERY installed.
If you don’t have one download Sc03e-KK-KBC-CWM-v6.0.5.1_r2-recovery and install with Odin with same procedure.
NOTE: If you have an older CWM installed, update to this one.
THINGS TO DOWNLOAD
1. ANDROID LOLLIPOP ROM 5.0.2 CM12.0 UNOFFICIAL
2. GOOGLE APP(GAPPS)
INSTALLING THE LOLLIPOP ROM
1. Copy the downloaded files and place them in the phone memory or SD card(recommended)
2. BACKUP your current OS in the recovery menu so that you can restore it if you encounter any problems in the flashing process.
3. To Enter the recovery menu, turn off your phone completely. PRESS and HOLD the POWER button + Volume UP + HOME button at the same time . When DOCOMO is displayed leave the power button and still keep holding the other buttons.
4. In recovery, use volume buttons to navigate and Power to select. Now go to wipe data/factory reset and wipe data, then wipe cache partition , then go to advanced and wipe Dalvic cache.
5. When all is done go to install zip and install the cm-12-20150213-UNOFFICIAL-sc03e.zip first.
6. When done install the GAPPS package.
NOTE: IF YOU HAVE CWM 6.0.4.7 THE GAPPS PACKAGE WONT INSTALL.
7. Now go back and wipe data , cache partition and Dalvic cache again then reboot. Upon exiting CWM you will be asked to fix your root binaries... say yes!
8. Your phone will boot into Android L with a Cyanogen boot animation.
9. Set up you phone and make sure to update all your Google apps and viola! :good:
NOTE: You will have to enable root in developer options.. enable it by tapping build number several times
CURRENT PROBLEMS
The keyboard.. i found a fix for it.. when you try to type something and it shows the Input method icon in the notification area... just tap on it and disable Hardware keyboard.. it should work fine .
Again remember to UPDATE Google apps else smart lock won't work
If you Discover any problems apart from the ones already stated above feel free to post a reply. Double check your errors before posting the reply.
Once Again thanks to @ma34S for providing this rom for us.

Thank you.

---> Smart lock did not work
3. update all Google app & Google Play services by Google play
---> Smart lock start to work.

Wifi not working after Tethering mod

Okay guys was running android mm on moto x pure and I tried the settings put global tether_dun_required 0 using ADB, and I also added the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true build.prop file. As soon as I did this my wifi stoped working, if I try to turn wifi on it turns right back off.
I have tried removing the lines in build.prop and in settings.db, ive tried turning wifi on in settings.db and wiping the phone in twrp and a fresh install of android 5.1 Nothing seems to work, I actually think that this may have somehow broke my phones wifi adapter.
Please Help
Thanks

see this link http://www.gammerson.com/2015/11/download-marshmallow-60-for-moto-x-pure.html ...it's for 6.0, but you could essentially do the same using the 5.1 bin file...pretty sure the 5.1 modem file is floating around on the site, or you could download the stock image and extract it.

Well darn that was the problem, I would have thought that if you flashed a fresh stock rom it would have replaced everything.
Thank you so much!

Glad you got that fixed man..can U please tell me tho about the actual trick to get around the tether cap?
Will adding that build prop line do the trick? Or is there another way?
I was searching on the Tapatalk app then went to my pc and was searching Google for 'how to by pass tmob tether block moto x pure' and I haven't found much. I was really hoping it would indeed just be a simple buid prop edit. Can u give me some info on that? Thanks

N Preview 4 booting into an unlocked desktop even after setting up Secure Startup

Well, I configured my 6P with the fingerprint/pin combo at startup and was using it like that...
I then disabled any security, and that meant wiping off my fingerprints.
I then tried to set everything up again, that means fingerprint+PIN. It set up correctly, I even set up to ask for PIN each time I reboot the device... This is where it gets weird.
When I booted up for thr first time, and went through Imprint+PIN setup, whenever I'd restart the phone, it would greet me with the secure startup screen , asking for my PIN in order to continue starting up the device. It would then boot me to my lockscreen. Where I'd have to input my PIN/fingerprint in order to unlock to desktop.
Now that I re-set it up, it will ask me for my PIN before booting up, but now it won't boot me to my lockscreen, but directly to desktop.
If I disable asking for PIN at boot, I get booted to lockscreen.
How can I restore functionality? Is this normal?

Since this is an Android N Dev Preview regarding issue, you should report it to Google if at all. Dev Preview is not meant to be used as a daily driver and some bugs should be expected to experience.

I do not think this issue is affecting MM.
Anyway, was the security working before on Dev Preview 4? Or it worked on previous Dev Previews and on the 4th it's not?

Can u change/install fonts in mokee roms? Cause I have an issue with changing font style using iFont apps..its say installed but after reboot font style doesnt change. Any solution?

linux shall eternally bloat all search engines with expired ?=
as it is stated in the title: the internet is full of long expired conversations about issues which are gone, along with hardware.
back in the beginning i recall only one distro Dev, SimplyMepis, who always, promptly warned, that most if not all information online about Linux is outdated or incorrect.
now on mokee, has anyone tested mokee naugat on vibe shot as recent as September/October 2017? The reason I ask is because there are no reviews or any useful feedback on mokee download/changelog page. I used it in August and each time the phone disconnect from WiFi it would reboot with an ugly, annoying double beep.
Apart from this issue everything would work pefectly well, including both sim loaded.
Thanks for taking time to respond.

There are a lot of recent updates for this rom. I flashed the most recent (2017-11-21 date). I didn't make a lot of testing but the problem you refered has been solved and the performance and stability seems good.
The only issue I noticed so far is that the phone does not start automatically from the shutdown state when an alarm is set.

@piccolo2k2 Was your device flagged as certified? When I flushed the rom I wasn't able to pass the SafetyNet test and I would appear as uncertified in play store, meaning I couldn't download most apps like Messenger or Facebook. I installed a third party app store which worked fine, but YouTube wouldn't play any video, because it couldn't load any ads... I even tried Magisk with no luck..

This is not my main phone right now so I spend very limited time using or testing it but you are right, I have just checked that with this ROM the device is unable to pass the SafeNet test so far. On the other hand I have not problems at all playing videos with youtube app or rooting the device. I'm using supersu v2.82 and TRWP-3.0.2-0 for lenovo 6.0 by wzsx150 (didn't try Magisk)

has anyone managed to install this ROM?
i tried to install it but failed.
I unlocked the bootloader using the method described here, and installed TWRP recovery as described here
when i try to install it - the flashing is stopped by a long vibration and the device went off, i tried to debug the flashing process, it seems that the step of mounting "\system" fails, i tried to replace the mount/unmount calls from updater_script with respective run_program(busybox) commands, but had no success with that. when i'm using the TWRP build in funcitonlity to wipe the system partition, TWRP claims the operation was successful, but checking the system partition details shows that the partition still contains data.
ohh, and also - the device model seems strange, the script checked that the model is zoom_tdd (or something like that) but the device (the bootloader?) return Z90a40... (i also updated the script to check for Z90a40)
the current state is that the device won't boot, but i can get into recovery.
Anyone have an idea how to proceed?
Thanks.

Moto X Play Nougat 7.1.1 unable to auto rotate anything

Hello all!
I have been struggling for a couple of weeks now with my MXP, it suddenly stopped auto rotating everything (All stock apps, desktop, installed apps), tried several fixes including cache cleaning, uninstalling recent updates, sensor fix tool apps (like Quick TuneUp), the issue appeared after the Nougat 7.1.1 update (NDP26.48-24-1) but I don't think it is related to it because it was working fine after I patched with the OTA.
Update: I found out that the accelerometer works correctly using Spirit Level app, I already factory reset my device 2 times with no change.
Hope someone can give me some light!

My x play in that all sensors are not working pls provide some solution....
