Not gonna lie, Nova has some nice features but being clean and simple, Pixel launcher or the Google now launcher are favorites, especially Pixel Launcher. Those run very smooth and quick on the J7
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] humangerm:
Changing the subject a bit but I haven't seen any posts about this issue. I can't reboot my phone while charging. It powers down and then I get to stare at a battery until I actually pull the battery out. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sjrmac:
Same, something triggers the battery charging state instead of passing by it to regular boot. I'm not sure what caused it though. I would help to figure it out but [MENTION=7652989]minz1[/MENTION] doesn't want my help either way and I am working on a few other projects so I don't have time to fully investigate but I can try logging a few things.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] minz1:
Yeah, it's a known issue. It's already beeing looked into, sorry!

For now you can't charge while the phone is off.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] humangerm:
Thanks for the information. It's not a big deal at all, I was just curious.

My Bluetooth is really janky though! Worked for a day then it would freeze up and soft reboot my phone and now it won't connect at all. Re-flashed the ROM it worked again and then... Here we go again.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LexignisOfficial:
I never had a problem even on stock firmware, even on battery saving mode, it probably drains more battery I'm sure. I would have gone for the Google Launcher but I hated the app drawer, I love the Trebuchet app drawer to bits but I hate how it doesn't have adjustable icon size, or something like that.

Edit: I also purchased Nova Launcher prime albeit at a high price compared to most mobile apps ($5) and I love how you have the adjustable icons and the app drawer tabs, I have an Xposed tab and a games tab!

---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 AM ----------

I would have reported this but it actually took until last night for me to run into it. It's not impossible to revive from a dead battery, but an app or mod to turn the phone off before it reaches 0 will probably work, it scared the **** out of me and I didn't have enough juice to make it past boot, so I just used a boot into TWRP after 10% I booted into Android. It was SCARY, maybe a warning and add it into the bugs??

Edit: to fix your battery, its a bit of sleight of hand, you need to make sure the phone is completely off, not plugged in, plug it in and immediately after you plug it in hold the keys for booting into recovery then after a split second unplug it and when you see the Galaxy logo replug it, then leave it until you get at least 5%-10%

Sucks, I know, it's actually the only known bug right now, at least when it comes to everyday usage, I had issues with Instagram crashing in the background but I never open it so I wouldn't know.

Idk what you were connected to but Bluetooth tethering to my sister's iPod works greatly, she didn't have an issue looking at web pages.

I'll try some games with my Xbox controller tonight.

Edit: Bluetooth is inconsistent, had to constantly restart it during gameplay

charger/restart issue

love the rom its working great some small things . I'm am to experiencing the inability to restart while on the charger issue and the other power issues others stated above . Call volume and speaker volume could be higher and at times i get random restarts but its the best rom for this device to date tyvm minz and nova launcher is what i always used.

Hi

I went to the Verizon store and bought a SM-J727V (Galaxy J7 V 2017) and was wondering if you could this ROM compatible with it.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LexignisOfficial:
Sorry sir, it is in fact incompatible, I'm not even sure if you have TWRP yet. While it might not be officially supported, you can try it, but you'll have to remove the model check on the zip and make a full TWRP backup (System, Data, and Boot)

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 AM ----------

Viper4android is always an option when it comes to media audio boosting, and if you have an issue with the call volume you might need to either clean your ears or get hearing aids, on max volume it is deafening. I have not had random restart, I run plenty of Xposed modules and Magisk modules as well, could be something you did, or maybe haven't done??
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TeknoGodz:
Any chance we could get OMS support for substratum? If I get time I'll try to do it myself and post instructions...
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] javar19:
Thank Minz1 so much for this rom, its very stable and fast, the only bugs i found so far is, i cant charge phone while its off like others have stated and the call volume is kind of low, other than that no complaints and this is the smoothest and most problem free custom rom i ever flashed, i have migisk installed so i'm using android pay with root, i tried xposed for 7.1.1 , it works but its not stable, tons of reboots and freezing so i uninstalled it until a stable version is released, if anybody has any tips for increasing call volume, ill be all set
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] animania260:
I also have low in call volume if comparing to stock. Speaker isn't very loud either, but doesn't bother me much. Just stating that it is low for me as well. No sound mods.

Here's a tip for people that are having issues with apps crashing. If you have this enabled, apps will crash all the time. Do not enable Multiprocess Webview in Development options. Even on stock 7.0-7.1.x Firmwares it causes apps to crash randomly.

I was using the new J7 Perx and had enabled it, and was trying to use Secure Folder to clone an app but everything in Secure Folder just kept crashing. Eventually I found out it was because I enabled Multiprocess Webview. Disabled it and everything worked fine again. I did the same thing on this ROM when I first used it.

Still Having Data Issues

Hi everyone -

Really appreciate everyone on this site and especially the work on this ROM. I really needed to hotspot on my J7 but was blocked by Virgin (well, not blocked - rather they want more money to do this).

I have this ROM working pretty good, but still have strange data issues. I have flashed the MVNO zip as previously mentioned, and entered the APN manually, also as previously posted.

My issue is that the APNs come and go. I can add the Virgin APN, save it, and nothing appears in the list. I can add it sometimes and it will stick, but eventually go away. Sometimes I have no APNs, then I check in a minute and there is one for Sprint and one for Virgin Mobile. My status bar can go from LTE with bars, to bars with no speed designation, to LTE with a small X, to just the triangle outlined frame.

Not sure why my phone seems to "lose" the APN / connection, load new ones, continuously "search", not let me create my own (and keep it).

Am I doing something wrong here? Once an APN is set up and selected, the phone should use those settings until I personally go in and change them, right? Any help is appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LexignisOfficial:
Yes, it does say J700P in the title, just follow the steps to flash it to a tee and you should be absolutely fine!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Erunur:
I love this ROM to death!

I have found that when I'm in a call using headphones and multitasking on my phone at the same time the upper left part of the touchscreen is sometimes unresponsive. It's always intermittent in a call sometimes the upper left side works, sometimes it doesn't but I haven't had a call where it didn't happen. The unresponsive area extends from the left top corner to around the middle of the screen and ends somewhere just below where the google search bar would be on the launcher screen.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] danilo4033:

anyone following this post anymore I cant get data to work I tried flashing zip file posted changed apn everything works but data
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LexignisOfficial:
The J7 prime uses a completely different SOC (CPU, etc.) entirely, this was developed for a Snapdragon CPU and its accompanying hardware, your phone uses a Exynos processor and thus the process is not as simple as porting. Lookout for ROMs on your end.

TL;DR: No, not really possible.

---------- Post added at 01:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------

Carrier? Country? If you need help then provide please provide this.

If all else fails do a clean flash with just the provided zip and MVNO, wipe Data.

Also, the APN I posted was for Virgin Mobile USA.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] craven6677:

But boost carrier in USA flashed/installed sprint.zip

Tried to change apn they wouldn't save
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LexignisOfficial:
Use ODIN and download mode to flash the provided stock firmware.

Install the given TWRP through ODIN as well.

In TWRP wipe Data, System, and Boot.

Install ROM

Install MVNO Slayer

Boot into OS

If Data isn't working then you probably need to modify your APN, I did get the dialer crash but after I fixed my 4G it launched, might have flashed it incorrectly, all else fails then repeat the steps but don't wipe System and Boot, just Data. I hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] craven6677:

[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LexignisOfficial:

For anyone have low-volume issues, flash this:

https://www.gammerson.com/downloads/lineageos-audi-fix(Gammerson.com).zip

It works for me, apparently they lowered the volume range on CM14, and Lineage 14 suffered from it as well, this zip restores the old audio values (or so it claims, but works well for me).

So uh, now that this is practically good are we getting Oreo, source code is released, hehe, jk, this ROM is awesome, and is allowing me to use my phone without frustration.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sjrmac:
It will take the lineage team some time to merge the code and make device code suitable for it to run Oreo. I'd say probably about a month to a month and a half before we could start seeing nightlies for officially supported devices. J7 will get it, I recall [MENTION=7652989]minz1[/MENTION] saying this at some point a few months back. No rush though, everyone is waiting for Lineage team to do their thing :)
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LexignisOfficial:
So our J7 variant will be supported by the Lineage team themselves? That's awesome, and of course no rush, I'd like a somewhat stable and performance/battery friendly OS.

Omfg these is ****en bad ass

Got to say these is bad ass. Loving these rom. Got to say I did find a few bugs. Pressing power + home button doesn't take screenshot no more. Worked around it in settings and added screenshot to power menu. Double tapping home button doesn't open up camera and long pressing recent button don't work either even after setting them up in the settings>buttons and can't charge while off either but it's cool. Worked the triple tap of power button to get camera and I got extra battery if it dies and can charge externally. So far all else works wonderful just need Xposed and it's all gravy. Thanks minz.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] animania260:
Yep there is a few little things like in-call volume a bit low and the stuck on charging screen bug, if the charging cable is plugged up and you turn off or restart the device. But overall it's stable and can be used as daily driver. Everything works just fine. It's awesome! Be sure to give Minz a "Thanks" (the button, and just a thank you in general), and a big thanks to the testers that helped out as well!

Turns out my data is fine. I was playing with data / APN while on my wifi network. The phone does not show data connection while you are on wifi - that is where I got confused.

First off, thanks for all your hard work on this. My phone's running better than ever.

Some feedback on my attempts to update to 9/9:

I tried a dirty flash and while it worked I lost mobile data. I tried reflashing LOS and then flashing MVNO but there was no change. Next I did a full reinstall according to the instructions in the OP, including MVNO and Lineage SU. I had data and everything appeared to work except according to Titanium Backup I didn't have root. I tried flashing Lineage SU again but that didn't fix it. I'm not really sure what else to try so for the moment I'm back to the older version.

Minz is the maintainer for the official TWRP builds for the J700P now, so everyone just use the official TWRP site and you'll be good/compatible with his Lineage stuff and have the latest version as well.

Search for "j7ltespr" not J700P.

https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxyj72015qcomsprint.html

For people not in the know: TWRP builds aren't updated that much once stable. Just check every now-and-again for a new version. Generally speaking (someone correct me if I'm wrong) new recovery builds will sometimes come with a new release of Android/Lineage (not always), or if TWRP adds some new features, and does a feature release which would probably be a new number, like 4.x.x. Otherwise mostly small bug fix updates. Google "software versioning" to read more if you're interested.

The last TWRP Minz released (again, his builds are now available through the official TWRP website) was a feature release I believe however, and added F2FS filesystem support. Allows changing the filesystem to F2FS after a clean wipe, and allows to flash things to an F2FS formated partition.
