[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FcukBloat:
just for being as clear as possible if someone is willing to help, here all the exact steps I did the first time I could flash the rom successfully, and the steps I am doing all the other attempts that are all failing instead... I am on G930F

- coming from 100% stock and locked BL the first time:

1. enable OEM unlock

2. boot in download mode to flash latest TWRP 3.2.1-1

3. boot in twrp, format data to remove encryption

4. reboot in twrp to check encryption removed > OK

5. flash the rom from extSD (enabled BL and modem update from within aroma)

6. rom flashed fine, could boot it and use it for some time

then I wanted to test other aroma options, so rebooted in TWRP, reinstalled the rom with clean flash but didn't update again BL and modem from aroma this time as I thought they were already OK. at first reboot after rom flash, I got stuck at boot logo.

after this, I tried to restart from scratch with stock, the following are all the steps I have been doing since yesterday with no luck (phone always get stuck at boot logo immediately after the phone reboots):

1. flash stock italian fw with odin: AP, BL, CP and I tried with both CSC_ITV (to factory reset) and HOME_CSC_ITV

2. reboot in stock and check everything is working and check OEM unlock is still enabled > OK

3. boot in download mode to flash latest BL and CP suggested in OP (I tried with and without this step)

4. boot in download mode to flash latest TWRP 3.2.1-1 (but I also tried another time with 3.1.1-0 version)

5. boot in twrp, format data to remove encryption

6. reboot in twrp to check encryption removed > OK

7. flash the same rom from extSD (I tried both with BL and modem update from within aroma and without updating them according to point #3 if I already did it manually or not)

8. rom seems to flash fine, then phone automatically reboot (if I selected to update BL and CP from aroma, otherwise I reboot manually when flashing procedure finish), then always get stuck at first reboot at boot logo

I think the rom doesn't flash completely, because I remember the first time when it worked, that I could also select some apps like 3minit clock and battery, but all the times I am trying now I never get to that point, so maybe that was the second part of the flashing procedure that I never meet again cause I get stuck at bootlogo?

at this point, to revice the phone, I can only reflash full stock via odin, or reflash only latest BL and CP via odin so at next boot it automatically enter in twrp, and here I can restore a full backup I did with stock rom (unfortunately I didn't do a backup of my working SuperMan rom install, I couldn't imagine I would have never been able to reflash it successfully again!) :crying::crying:

really don't know what to do more... tia to anyone that could/would like to help

Size depends on you selected mods / debloat etc.

For storage analysis try "Disk Usage"

Yes I did try Disk Usage too, but it didn't show where the full usage went.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] dragan012:
Hi,

don't know, if it helps, but I rooted several Galaxys and the only thing I can see is, that you didn't flash the "dm-verity and force encryption disabler" after booting

first time into twrp. This can be found here under number 10. Also read number 9, where it says

At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.

By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow the next step you will be unable to boot!

If you are going to root your device and follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
​

As you can read above, when entering twrp the first time and you do not flash mentioned zip, your system partition is not bootable, because you triggered dm-verity.

So, follow exactly the instructions mentioned above starting from scratch and it should work...

I did it the following way a few days ago with a new phone and everything went fine

First followed this guide step by step (w/o flashing SU, but flashing dm-verity and force encryption disabler of course) and booted into stock rom again.

Then I followed the guide in start post beginning with 10 to flash SuperManRom successfully.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FcukBloat:
hi thanks but the problem was not encryption related...

...in the end, it seems I fixed all problems, and solution was to flash the rom from the internalsd rather than from the external sd! :eek::rolleyes::confused:

so strange, because the first time I flashed it, I am sure I did it through the extsd and it worked fine!

btw I just tried now flashing TGP Galaxy Project rom from the intsd and worked fine, then I tried again with superman rom (exact same steps I am doing since yesterday) but this time also from the intsd, and also superman rom booted up just fine! :victory: don't know if TGP rom install triggered something that fixed my problems, or it was really the extsd the problem.. but if it is, it is worth to add this info in OP maybe? (didn't see it mentioned anywhere?)

will see if from now on flashing it from intsd always work fine now and report! thanks to all who helped in the meantime and especially TGP Galaxy rom dev for the hint in OP in his thread about avoiding to install his rom from the extsd! :o
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] damjang:
Just a simple question: did you try a checksum check of the superman file on extsd? Maybe only a little file corruption?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] lladwein:

This is exactly the same, what I thought, while I read his post..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FcukBloat:
Didn't do that actually, but the strange thing is that the first time i flashed the rom (and it was from the extsd) it worked fine, only next attempts failed, so if the file was corrupted i think it shouldn't have worked the first time either.. Didn't do anything wih the zip meanwhile.. Btw will check! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] dvhttn:
Maybe the sdcard became corrupted after the first time you installed? Have you done a CHKDSK on it on your PC?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FcukBloat:
maybe! actually often after rebooting the phone indeed shows the message "sdcard currupted/format it", but I see it is pretty common with the s7, and just opening and closing back the sdcard tray fixes the problem and i can again see all my files.. so dunno if it is really corrupted, damaged, if that's a sw or hw bug of the s7 (i see many s7 users do complain about that) or whatever... tomorrow I'll format it from within the phone and see, if it is corrupted should be fixed this way right? thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] dvhttn:
Never really seen it on the S7, did on the S4 I had. The corruption was somewhere in my mp3 files and I couldn't copy/move/delete the duff file(s). Had to make sure I backed everything up then did a chkdsk on the pc then a format. Copied it all back and all was/is fine.

See ... https://www.companionlink.com/support/kb/How_to_repair/format_a_corrupted_Android_SD_card .... and ... https://forums.androidcentral.com/a...guide-using-chkdsk-fix-corrupted-sd-card.html .... for some help though Google will show up a gazillion more hits.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FcukBloat:
one suggestion for future versions: could you please change the directory where screenshots are saved? because being saved in DCIM folder, they are automatically backed up in Google photos (for those who use it) which is very frustrating. it would be much better if they are saved in pictures folder for example, like in other roms, so they won't be synced in G photos unless you manually enable the backup ;) for now I am using pinsync app for this, but this feature included in the rom would be much better :fingers-crossed:

thanks for the great rom, bye!

I'm sorry but I can't adjust the behavior of 3rd party apps. You may need to give this app proper storage permissions or maybe send the developer an email directly?

Ummmm ..... where exactly ....?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FcukBloat:
a small update on this issue, I think I found the culprit. after I formatted the sdcard both from PC and from the phone, and after moving back all my stuff onto the ext sdcard, I had no other problems with ext sdcard related error messages for some days, and I could see all my files correctly in the extsd.

then today I enabled the camera pictures saving to the extsd, and immediately at next reboot I got again the ext sdcard damaged error message! :eek::mad:

so I think the problem was generated by samsung firmware, probably the pictures saving from camera to ext sd is somehow bugged and make the ext sdcard to show up as damaged sometimes, that's the only thing I could say. now I set again to use the intsd for the pictures saving and not the ext sdcard, and extsdcard is working fine again even after some reboots. will see how it goes, if the extsd will appear again as damaged, will format it again and then never ever again enable the pictures saving to ext sd, and see if the messages will not show up again...

you guys that are not having extsd damaged errors, where are you saving your camera pics? to the intsd or extsd?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] dvhttn:
I save all my pictures to the sdcard - no problems at all. Got a Sandisk 200GB card.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FcukBloat:
thanks guys, so maybe it was just a case, but I see it difficult because recently I formatted the extsd, everything was fine with it even after several reboots (and I rebooted plenty of times in the last few days cause I tested many bootanimations and themes) and as soon as I enabled the pictures save to extsd in camera I needed to reboot and immediately after the reboot I got the ext sdcard damaged error again.. and now it keeps appearing sometimes after reboot (sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't after reboots). I will try again to format it and see if this time it will keep working fine for a long period without enabling the save to extsd in camera... thanks again!

Hello,

Is it possible to, either, make the aroma installer accessible to the blind, or have a version of this rom without the aroma installer?

This because as it stands, this rom is unuseable to anyone with a visual imparement because the print is standard size, and sound drivers are not loaded, and talkback cannot be enabled.

I speek for all visually impared s7 flashers when i say that this would be greatly apprishiated.

Thank you,

Google for h2testw and check your sd card with that program.

Formatting without error doesnt guarantee a flawless sd card.

hi thanks for the info. btw I forgot to say that before formatting the sdcard, I also did chkdsk a couple of times from windows, and everything was fine. also, after last format, again didn't have any new messagees about extsdcard being damaged.. will see in the next few days if continues like that :fingers-crossed:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ssceddie:
This sounds that the card is damaged, try another micro-sd
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FcukBloat:
thanks guys, but you are missing one point that I think it is crucial: this 64gb sdcard has always worked fine in all the previous phones where I used it, and also in the S7 it seems to work perfectly fine until I choose the camera to use it for saving pictures.. that's why I think it is a SW problem. in other phones I used it for the camera pics also, and never had a problem. in the S7 if I don't use it for saving cam pics, it works perfectly fine for all other things (I can see/browse/access files on it, my music, videos etc)

i need some more time to confirm this, but it seems indeed to be so... and if confirmed, I don't really think it is the sdcard the culprit...

Hey guys,

I have flashed the current V2.8.0 on my S7 (dual sim). It is working great, especially the battery life is much better now than on stock rom!

Unfortunately it is not visible anymore on which SIM I'm getting an incoming call. On the stock ROM the corresponding SIM symbol was always shown under the callers name. Is there an option to enable this in this ROM also?

Also it is quite hard for me to swipe downwards from the top bar to view the notifications without showing all quick toggles. I have to be very gently :) Is there an option for this too?

Thank you in advance!

FYI G930F and FD have the same firmware, you can flash any G930F firmware on your phone. Heck, this might also work for G935F/FD phones since their custom roms works in ours.

If your backup folder is located in your external sd, do the following:

Go to "Menu"

Select "Preferences ..."

Select "★ Backup folder location"

on the upper portion press on "storage Provider" to change it

Select "DocumentProvider storage"

Select the root of your External SD, note: if you can't find the external SD, click the menu and select "Show SD card"

Select the the folder where you keep your backups
