[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] random_n:
I've been using this ROM (v3.7) with a G930W8 and the Sony sensor for a bit. With the flashable from the LineageOS BUGBASH-729 and Snap Camera 3.8 beta in HAL1 mode (buy it for beta access), I'm able to get a very reliable connection to the camera and results that easily match stock quality - better than HTC Temporal Fix camera, very fast focusing even in adverse conditions, and powerful noise reduction. Even bests the camera from the Touchwiz-based BatMan ROM by a wide margin (terrible low-light noise in that one; it's probably meant for the SGS8's sensor). Video recording stability isn't perfect, and it's quite possible to get into a state where a reboot is needed to record again, but something good was done to crDroid because I'm only able to get a maximum 1 video out of LineageOS 20171010 before the media server dies and no further recording can be done. I haven't actually found a reproducible, reliable way to break it in crDroid; it just seems to bug out sometimes. Special settings like 60fps or 4k are a no-go but 720p/1080p@30 works well.

I'm also using the Dracula kernel 1.0 with the bioshock governor on both big/little cores. Unreal kind of smooth, and battery seems great at 0.3%/hr idle drain. The Dracula 1.5 kernel drained more battery at idle for me at 0.9%/hr, and the new hotplug module caused scrolling choppiness. I'd stick with the stock kernel if it had the bioshock governor -

there's something about it that brings out the best in this Exynos chip.

Only real issue I'm having is low mic input volume on voice recording, video, and VoIP. Seems to be a common issue though, and I've not yet given up on monkeying with it yet. My editing of some of the /system/etc audio xmls has improved it somewhat, but I think it'll need a dynamics compressor to become fully proper. I'll post up if I figure out a proper fix.

Google assistant's synthetic voice also sometimes gets choppy, but since everything else plays fine it's perfectly livable. Tried a few different kernels, and even setting the system to performance governor (max CPU frequency lock), but it still happens. LineageOS did that too. TouchWiz ROMs play the voice responses fine. I can deal with Google Jimmy reading me the w-w-weather for now. :)

Nice review!

Do you have this error with lost camera connection sometimes with snap 3.8 beta? I had this after I've done some pics...

Performed full wipe without internal and only problem is battery, there's no fc at all on GP services on beta... but battery drains quickly on 2 sim + 4g, overnight drain is 5% with wifi, bluetooth, sync, data is all off
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gwolfu:
hey guys, fast status update...

you can expect a new update today to fix APK installer error and KRACK

now, what I can say is that lately [MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION] made some good progress with HWC that might make me run a different build later on to see if it's improving the stability of the system

also there are some tweaks that I need to carry on to "fix" the scrolling lag some of you encountered

what I am saying is that I might need a few of you guys to test out a new beta build maybe this weekend :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] skorpion1977:
I have installed 3.8 today and I'm really impressed how good it works. Even Camera runs out of the box, no issues yet - even with a sony sensor. Really, Really good.

If you need a beta tester, call me. Maybe I find some time during the weekend todo some testing.

This rom really made me curious. Looking at all the positive feedback I'd might switch from Superman to this rom. Especially since this rom doesn't seem to have the Bluetooth bug. But after reading a update is coming, I guess I'll wait a bit longer and flash that one.

On my previous phones and tablets I always ran a aosp/aicp/rr/etc rom. I love all the possibilities to set the phone in a way that suits me the most. Keep up the good work.

Awesome job man, and WhatsApp audio is working for me too now, and file manager is working with package installer after a reboot.

OK my mistake, audio in WhatsApp only worked once after clean install, same as before, still not fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] steve996:

I've got no issues that I'm aware of , just wondering :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Bart1981:
Love this rom. There is only one thing I just can't seem to get working properly. The QS shade border for the quick settings. Both Accent color as the Custom color don't seem to do anything. More people having this problem. It worked once, but after a reboot it was gone and I cant get it back to work.

Furthermore, keep up the good work with this rom!

edit:

I found out what the problem is. Transparency of the QS and the QS shade border don't work together. It's or an transparent QS menu or the shade border. Can this be fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] roberto_mrw:
Hi guys, ROM is awesome but I have really important question. Can I turn off sound from the front speaker? Because it's really annoying for me when I'm watching videos :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Valantur:
Whatsapp audio isn't working for me as well. I'm on the 3.8 build (Oct. 20th).

The sound recorder app doesn't capture any sound either.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Bart1981:
Here it does record sound but the sensitivity of the microphone is so low that it hardly records anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ptr_hamilton:
Have you tried to disable audiofx? Should at least make it remarkably better
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Bart1981:
Just tried it, but it had no effect on the sensitivity of the microphone.

The sound is hardly recorded. On the app I use (tried it also with the voice recorder app included) I don't even see the equilizer move. Sound levels recorded are that low.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gtolog:
for the normal phone calls there's this 1-2 seconds delay after I answer the call and you can actually speak to/hear the other person but I guess they can hear me okay after this minor delay, dev, can you look into this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Valantur:
I've noticed that too. The inability to record sound and/or use whatsapp is a deal breaker of this otherwise awesome ROM!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] mrcaligula:
Will future releases pass Safetynet ? I pay my bills with my phone , but with all ROMS other than Stock ROMS my bank apps won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] iOrpheus06:
It's

cts profile: false and basicIntegrity: True

In this rom. Idk about your banking app but apps that require safetynet to pass works for me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Bart1981:
Maybe I've found solution for the whatsapp/audio recording bug.

On my search on the www I read something about the file mixer_path.xml in system/etc.

I looked into the file but it's quite big and I did not understand most settings. So then I thought, what of I take the mixer_path from a stock based rom and replace the one in this rom with the one taken from a stock based rom. I did so and with succes.

I renamed the original file to mixer_path.xml.old and pasted the file taken from an other stock based rom in system/etc to replace the original file. Did a reboot and audio recording was working like a charm. Tested if it had a negative effect on Bluetooth audio, but so far no issues there.

I just did this only 10 minutes ago so I haven't done any extensive testing, but so far it seems to work. For the people who want to try it, I have attached the file.

Hopefully this is an easy solution for the audio/whatsapp recording problem. :good:

Edit:

Nope it's not a good solution. The top speaker doesn't work in this way.. So you cannot hear people on the other side. I'll see if I can compare the files but I'm in no way a developer so don't get your stakes to high. But it may be a lead to the solution. [MENTION=5195210]gwolfu[/MENTION] is this something you are familiar with?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] mrcaligula:
Ok thank you. It didn't work , but it could be another problem not only safetynet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Valantur:
Thanks for trying!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gwolfu:
fact is that I know about that

however is hard to read the file without proper documentation that unfortunately we lack right now

it's been tried before to use stock mixer_path

problem is that if we use stock we have a problem and while using android based we have a different problem

either way still a problem

Hi, I'm running CrDroid 3.8, rooted with Magisk and with HTC camera fix. The problem is that I cannot watch videos on Instagram, YouTube etc.. because it makes the app crash. What can I do?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gwolfu:
any substratum theme installed?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xlollx:
Nope, I didn't installed any theme at all
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xlollx:
Ok, I try to do a new clean installation of the ROM, this time without flashing magisk, and right now there seems to be any problem. I will make you know in a few days if there's some changes

Edit: the issue is still here

Edit #2: after some time, even writing on WhatsApp or trying to open a picture received in it make the app freeze and I have to reboot my device.

Hope there's a solution, because I love this ROM

Edit #3: there's also an issue with music. While I'm listening to a song, whenever I go to my launcher home screen, sound starts flickering and music reproduction seems slowered and laggy
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Bart1981:
I now used this file to replace the original mixer_paths.xml: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/dev...ineageos-14-1-galaxy-s7-t3529197/post73756989

Now I have audio when making a phone call, whatsapp audio recording and Bluetooth audio streaming. Not shure if there are other things that are not working. I'll keep using it for now to see if I encounter any other issues.

Edit:

That brings back the Bluetooth calling issue. So also not the perfect solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] random_n:
The latest Resurrection Remix (5.8.5 final) has the mixer_paths.xml corrected to fix the low mic input in assorted scenarios. That ROM has some performance issues for me (animations stutter when interacting with the touchscreen, like there's an anti-touchboost or something trying to parse a gesture taking resources running) even with the same kernel installed, but it's quite possible to install that mixer_paths.xml to pull across the fix.

As for the no handset audio on some call types, it seems to be an issue in the transition between mixer path selections. I don't know if it's actually a problem with the configuration file, or the code that's handling things though - I just don't know enough about Android internals yet. An interesting behaviour to note: if the system is playing audio from the main speaker before initiating a call, the audio playback will properly pause, and the call will work correctly. If nothing's playing and the call type requires the handset speaker, it'll fail and only the mic works. Calls that start on other paths like speakerphone, video, or Bluetooth work OK, and even some transitions such as a call without the handset speaker working to a Bluetooth headset will result in a fully working call. As others have noted, moving an active call the other way around from working Bluetooth to the handset results in no handset audio. Also something to note: the mic works the whole time, and properly transitions between lower mic, upper mic, Bluetooth mic, and wired headset mic, as needed for normal, speakerphone, Bluetooth, and headset mode. Right now I'm using Google Hangouts for testing, and it seems that even if the incoming call ringtone is playing while accepting a call, that counts and the audio will work.

I've filtered and attached a couple of logcats; on the okcall.txt, I started an MP3 playback, then initiated an outgoing call with Hangouts - all worked well and the outgoing call ringing was audible in the handset/earpiece speaker on the S7. On badcall.txt, I had nothing playing and initiated an outgoing call. The handset speaker did not play the outgoing ring on badcall. Neither call was accepted on the other end in these tests, since the mic has been working consistently now.

The investigation continues!

Hi, I've got huge battery drain. Can anyone help? Maybe the most stable version of crdroid? Here is screenshot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Bart1981:
Looks like a pretty nice almost flat line except from the last part.

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

Would it be a crazy thought to replace BT lines of the mixer_paths.xml on the rr rom by those of the crdroid rom?

Bluetooth calling is working on crdroid and whatsapp voice recording on de rr rom. If those two could be combined......
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Bart1981:
Can somebody help me out here. Because of the audio problems (I need the audio recording for my work) I switched back to an other rom. But in this rom I used a certain notification sound which I really like. It was some kind of bird/cricket sound. Quite subtle. Can somebody tell me the name of this notification sound?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] scutterflux:
Try disabling AudioFX
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] random_n:
Not crazy at all, but it turns out the only difference is a couple lines that bump up the mic input gain. Nothing else is changed between the two, so nothing else will be fixed or broken by importing RR's mixer config.

Edit: learning more, validated mixer configuration with the tinymix utility for tinyalsa - shows identical status when in a working call vs non-working, and forcing toggles like RCV Switch on/off only has an effect for an already-functioning call. Utilities like SoundAbout that are supposed to re-route audio don't help this either. Maybe something up in audio.primary.universal8890.so? It's rapidly getting above my head...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Colday96:
You might also want to try disabling Google assistant
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Bart1981:
Both thnx for the support. But like mentioned before, Audiofx has no effect on the microphone. Audio is recorded too soft so it can hardly be heard. Disabled it anyway but without succes.

Google assistant is something I never use or have enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Colday96:
You could try not making Google your default voice app. Go to strings , type default and press the word default. Then press assist voice input and disable Google as your default assistant
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Bart1981:
I guess you misunderstood me. I'm not using Google at al, not Google Now, not Google assistant, both are not even installed. I meant a voice recording app, or the voice recording in whatsapp. As far as I know that's a problem that can't be fixed by changing some apps or settings. It goes way deeper.

What I'm looking for now is the name of a notification sound within this rom. A subtle somekind of bird/cricket/grasshopper sound. Not running the rom at the moment so if somebody can tell me the name of the sound then I can look it up on the www.

Issue installing to G930L (Korean Varient)

Currently trying to flash onto my S7, Appears that many AOSP based roms don't install correctly to Korean variants of the S7. After some research I have learned that it is something to do with Korean variants being partitioned differently.

A new beta build is ready for those that want to try it

Warning!!! Do not install unless you are ready to have some bugs

Main focus in this build is bringup of HWC as well as some fixes to power delivery and hopefully fixed microphone recording

You can get this build from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620762031

Again do not install unless you are aware of possible bugs

Also please make a clean install and don't dirty flash over any previous stable build

Edit:

Since I saw some confusion around, this beta build is not Android O based, but still crDroid 3.8.2 based on Android 7.1.2

crDroid changes version only with security patches and/or hotfixes
