Do you have the latest TWRP installed
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] MegaDJPlay:
If I flash this ROM will it change my current CSC?

If yes, how can I flash back my TPH CSC?

I've been trying t find the way but I can´t really figure it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gruuvin:
The Aroma installer that walks you through installing this rom, unfortunately forces you to select a csc. Before you run the installer, back up your EFS partition, then you can restore it after the rom install.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] MegaDJPlay:
Thanks a lot <3
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gruuvin:
Another method, that Tkkg wrote into his installer to make recovery of your EFS partition (CSC) possible even if you did NOT back it up with TWRP:

In addition to this installer, Tkkg wrote a CSC Selection Tool: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392949

That CSC Selection Tool automatically backs up your EFS partition to a *.img file before overwriting the EFS partition (with the CSC you selected).

This SuperManRom installer does the same thing! If you look on post #1 of that link above, you will find a section that describes how to restore your EFS partition (where CSC goes), which is basically, boot into TWRP, mount the /data partition, access the terminal, and run the dd command to copy the image back to your EFS partition:

dd if=/data/media/0/EFSBackup/efs.img of=/dev/block/sda3 bs=4096

Be VERY careful with the dd command; make sure you type it perfectly before pressing enter.

So, that command above is for restoring after flashing a CSC with the CSC Selection Tool, but since SuperManRom makes a similar backup (just to a different directory), this is the command:

dd if=/data/media/0/SuperMan/EFS/efs.img of=/dev/block/sda3 bs=4096

So, that command above is how you restore your CSC after flashing SuperManRom, if you didn't manually make a backup of your EFS partition (CSC).

Hi guys, since the new rom - only one Reboot for about A week now.

But I noticed my top speaker - the sound is terrible, any ideas? Also volume is very low, sound settings are at MAX but speaker volume is very low and quality of the sound is very very poor .

Can't hear well people when they talk

Thank you so much for the rom! Can anybody help me in sharing files to guest user! Earlier we can see all files in multiple user but now we cant see any files in other users which is good thing but dont know how to move files between users.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gruuvin:
Good catch. In TWRP, you must first mount the /data partition.

I updated my earlier post. Thanks!

Does anyone know how this rom compares to The Galaxy Project rom? Stability? Amount of de-bloat? Speed?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] awtompson:
Still not working. Maybe I don't know how to mount in TWRP. I choose Mount and I see check box options for System, Data, Cache, EFS... The only buttons there are "Mount USB Storage", "Select Storage" and "Disable MTP". I don't know what to do to mount the /data partition.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Gagandaywal:
Can i flash this rom on my Samsung S7 T-Mobile version ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] awtompson:
No. That model has a locked bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gruuvin:
If you check-mark the box beside the mountpoint (/data), it mounts, if you uncheck it it dismounts.... no other buttons needed.

I'm running TWRP 3.2.3, and when I boot into it, /data is already mounted (by default, TWRP mounts /data, /cache, and /external_sd), and I can run the terminal and do "ls /data" as a quick test to see its contents and verify the mount-point is working. I even did "ls /data/media/0/SuperMan" as another sanity check.

So, make sure the /data mount point is check-marked, then go to the terminal and do "ls /data/media/0/SuperMan" and you should see the EFS backup directory listed.

If that doesn't work, there might be something wrong with the partition that mounts to the /data mount-point, which is /dev/block/sda18 ..... you can see what partitions are mounted where by simply issuing the command "mount" in the terminal....... if you don't see /data mounted near the end of that output, you might look at "ls /dev/block" to see all the block devices.... you should have sda18 in that list (last partition gets all the leftover space for /data).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] awtompson:
There is no EFS backup directory under /SuperMan. Must have done something wrong on installation. Hopefully we will get a CSC installer and this won't matter. Thanks for your help.

Hey guys i think i need some help, i've installed superman rom with latest september security update, on twrp i also updated CP and BL but when phone boots i have unknown baseband/imei error. Any help would kindly be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] GoJo ^^:
Hey there, i've been using stock forever and just found this, so i'm going to install! Just wondering if i should intall a kernel as well? Because reviews says stock kernel is best so far.. Also, a bit off topic, with this rom, can i ask for pattern during boot? I can't on stock and was told it's because when you're rooted, that option disappear..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] aiui:
Hello everyone, before too much I wanted to apologize for my English, I would like to know if this rom is in EOL, what do you mean, we will not have security updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] grymkmb:
Which kernel is/works best for you is something only can answer. I had horrible battery life on both SuperStock and SuperKernel, but it has greatly improved with TGP. But then again, it might be different for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gruuvin:
That comparison of superstock to tgp, was that the latest of each? If not, which versions?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] grymkmb:
Yes, the latest ones. SuperKernel and SuperStock 3.1.0 (both of which are included in V3.0.1 of this rom) gave me bad battery life, but the newest TGP 6.9.0 gave me much better results. I have to say that I did not change the CPU governor.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gruuvin:
That's an interesting find. I just ran TGP for a week because I found that SuperStock kept two of the fast cores turned off. The idea is that they will only turn on when absolutely necessary, as a way to save battery. TGP, on the other hand, runs all eight cores, and produces better benchmark scores. The idea is that comes at a cost of discharging the battery a little faster than a stock kernel. So, I'm back on SuperStock to see if I do in fact see longer battery performance. So far, I don't.

So I'm just not sure why shutting down two of the fast cores is better if it doesn't make a difference on battery utilization.

So TGP outperforms SuperStock cpu AND battery utilization? Hmmmmm.... TGP is optimized better than stock? I duuno if that's true or placebo effect. But, I might be seeing the same thing. But it's subtle, so I'm gonna run SuperStock for a few more days to see if I find the same thing.

Probably not. For a rom being developed as a hobby by one guy, EOL basically means he's not going to do another build, for any reason...... unless it's absolutely critical, and we are lucky, and he feels like it.

Hobby developers eventually move on to new projects. The good ones don't quit until the project is bug-free and stable. That's why I am running Superman instead of LOS.

Thx Tkkg!

Hi Daniel, I have tried everything you suggested, I did a dirty install and changed all the settings, stock kernel etc and still my VR is unwatchable, lagging and glitching, I really like the rom but I use VR a lot so at the moment I cannot stick with it, any other suggestions??

Okay, I need some help. Following problems:

I updated my TWRP to the latest by flashing the image in TWRP. Then I flashed the new latest Superman Rom (clean install). It booted up perfectly, and started recovering my google backup. I went back to TWRP to flash magisk. TWRP didn't keep my time zone settings neither that I don't want it to ask me to keep the system read only on startup on TWRP. When I wanted to flash magisk, it gave me several error messages that it's unable to mount.

What can I do to

1. get TWRP to save my settings

2. get rid of the "unable to mount" errors

I have tried another clean install of Superman, but then I get the same problem again.

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] natetokes:
Have you formatted (not wiped) the data partition after installing the new recovery? That was necessary for me to get the data partition readable
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] EEMene:
To be specific, confirm you are using [MENTION=5899304]Tkkg1994[/MENTION] modded TWRP. Link is on post #12883 - file "twrp-3.2.3-0-herolte.img". If so, those of us with this recovery have not experienced your type of problem. Follow other posted instructions on specific TWRP configuration in preparation for this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gruuvin:
I do not know if it is a correct or wrong option.

As far as I know, it's an option in the rom installation, that is not a stock feature, which uses your top speaker, together with the bottom speaker, to make stereo sound, like other phones are already designed to do. I'm skeptical of such a feature if the top speaker was not designed to be driven that loudly in the first place. I think it could be improperly driving the speaker and even possibly ruining it the speaker. That's the only reason I asked. If you had done that, I would suggest figuring out how to disable that or reinstall without it.

Someone can comment, because I don't know much about that feature.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] evo1234:
I checked all the options but don't see a menu to disable the speakers. I presume I will have to do reinstall of the rom again and make sure such dual speaker option is not activated
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gruuvin:
You mean you selected every install option? I wouldn't have done that.

I wish there was a way to see all the Aroma install options listed in order and by page, without having to run the installer again. You see, the installer logged ALL the options we select during install time, but only the option numbers are logged, so we can't tell which is unless we also have a list of the actual options. (actually, I just checked again and looked at ALL the props files this time, and it's just google, samsung, and others.props that have the options enumerated instead of spelled out ..... Looks like sound.prop may tell you if you selected the option to do dual speaker, but I'm not 100% sure of that).

For anyone interested in looking at your record of selected install options, look in internal storage in SuperMan/aroma

Touch sensitivity missing from quick settings

Hey guys (and gals :))!

I'd like to start with a big "thank you" @ OP for this Oreo release. I switched from Superman 2.9.0 to 3.0.1 yesterday following OP instructions as listed in posting #1 to the letter. Installed TWRP 3.2.3.0, did a full wipe & clean install - so far everything works fine, although it took me a while to find out why (after installing Magisk by flashing the 17.1.zip from post #1) I could no longer nandroid backup or even mount the /data partition in recovery. (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77492971&postcount=12883 helped!

The only thing I'm sorely missing atm is that QS tile "Touch sensitivity" seems to no longer exist. As I am using a tempered glass screen protector the lack of this setting rather heavily impacts on the screen's usability since its response to touch is greatly decreased. It worked just fine with 2.9.0 and this setting, now I have to push quite hard to tap things, let alone type passwords. Any way to bring it back? Or have I maybe just missed the setting in one of the submenues? Any help will be appreciated :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gruuvin:
I know it's not what you asked for, but this phone is my first with no screen protector, and after two years, I have not one scratch. The Corning glass is THAT good. Unless you just aren't careful with your screen, you should pull that protector off and all your touchy feely problems will be solved. Besides, it looks REALLY good!

Dear readers of this thread

Why EOL?

You maybe read it in the thread title or not that this rom is EOL (End of Life). It still seems that some people don't understand what this means. So I'm going to explain it a bit further:

The rom update to 3.0.1 was the last update I released for this rom. Why? I don't own this phone personally since 1.5 years now and it's really difficult to get a device for testing, without testing it's almost impossible to release a rom without bugs.

But this is not the only reason. Starting from the early 2018 I begun to work while studying full time. This leaves almost 0 time for myself and even less for the android development (maybe you can imagine now why the update took so long, I normally use my personal holidays for updates).

And development for other devices?

Given my current management over my personal time I can't tell you whether I'll be able to do a rom for the s9/s9+/n9. I personally just use stock to be honest (with root of course :D )

I may be able to do a very stockish rom without a romcontrol but again, this will take time...

Where is the CSC update??

Yes, the csc. Thanks for all who send me their files! I downloaded the missing ones last week and guess how much I had to download? 72 csc to download... ups I undercalculated this a bit :D

Anyway I got the files now and it shouldn't take to much time to add it to the zip and upload it. When it's ready you'll find it here. And yes, this will be only for s7 based rom and not ports!

Paypal:

You may have seen that my PayPal isn't working anymore. I called them twice and sent them a few mails. They are currently reviewing my case BUT they think I do this for business and earn a living for it... really PayPal? You're joking or what :silly:

To be honest I doubt that I will ever be able to use it again so I may switch to crypto donating in the future project.

What's left?

Saying thanks to everyone. We had a great time here over the last 2.5 years :highfive:

The S7 community is one of the best here on xda. I'm very honored that I could work together with you over such a long time period :good:

I wish you the best for the future, take care of yourself and your loved ones. Enjoy your life! :fingers-crossed:

The forum on our on website will be opened for all time here. So in case you still have questions or need support, that's the place to ask.

Love you all <3
