[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] PGHammer:
I'm running V.4 of L right now, and except once (my own fault), all have been flawless. (The one that was my fault I freely admit - I did not let the phone fully charge; all have been from a stock,though-rooted, start.) Because it's also a daily-driver, I pull my settings from the cloud that I can't afford to lose (which are calendar and phone book settings); those are, in fact, backed up to the cloud by default with any Android device; Project L is no different here. The only change this time (with V.4) is Microsoft Launcher is now my default launcher - mainly due to previous experience using it as a default launcher with an overlay (specifically, Lenovo's version of EMUI). The point I was making about Nova is that it was NOT designed with overlays in mind; instead, it was designed with AOSP in mind - not a bad thing at all (I came from AOSP - specifically, the Galaxy Nexus- to the S7 Snapdragon). The issues with the Galaxy Nexus are due to two faults - age and it being a dual-core - the dual-core being the biggest problem.

It gets obvious comparing it to the developer phone that succeeded it - the Nexus 4 from LG. Unlike the GNex, the Nexus 4 is a quad-core; it also is a direct ancestor of our S7 Snapdragon at it's core. If you want AOSP on the cheap, in fact, I now recommend the Nexus 4 (vice GNex) because of that significant difference between it and the GNex, and the lack of price difference between it and the GNex. (Energy Electronics - an Amazon-based reseller that also uses Amazon.com as fulfiller sells the Nexus 4 for $120 - about as bulletproof as it gets for on-the-cheap; your only other option in the price range is - oddly - the Nokia 2 - which is even cheaper; however, there are no AOSP ROMs available for the 2 (so far) - though it does support Oreo out of the box. Nova was developed for AOSP - which does not use overlays; I respect that - however, with Samsung, TouchWiz is standard fare - and Nova Launcher has been known to have issues with overlays. Basically, Nova and an overlay is asking for trouble. (Haven't most of the issues with TouchWiz, in fact, come from attempts to use an AOSP launcher with it?) If I want to see a classic barfight, I'll watch "Blazing Saddles" - I don't need one on my daily-driver (phone or tablet).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] PGHammer:
Here were my own steps

Here's my walkthrough from L V.3 (but can be from any firmware on any S7 that has been ported). Note - You WILL lose your data. Also, make sure you are FULLY CHARGED - my only flop was because I didn't do that beforehand, so don't make the same goof I did.

Started with uFirm G930TUVS4BRA1_CL12142063_QB16357883_REV02_user_low _ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar flashed via ODIN (latest stock T-Mobile firmware). Go through all the new-customer steps.

Now, you will be installing Project L via FlashFire - which is not exactly default - and you'll need to be rooted. Therefore, follow the Nougat root steps thread (this will also install FlashFire in addition to rooting your phone AND installing SuperSu).

Once you've got got FlashFire installed, download L V.4 and transfer it to your phone following the directions in the Project L thread. To make sure you are fully charged, do this part while plugged into a wired charger - as opposed to connected to a PC. You will be going through the new-customer steps yet again (hence the need to remain plugged in - this part chews up physical time and charge).

Now, if you are needing to port your phone, do that BEFORE installing L - you can use the firmware I referred to above to do that - it is, in fact, the latest virgin firmware for T-Mobile S7s - which is why I suggested it in the first place. (It's also why I used it myself as a *cleaner* between versions of L - which is, in fact, supposed to be clean-flashed.)

Settings, Known limitations & FAQs

Settings:

The behaviour of S2P can be altered by changing the following registry values stored at \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2P\

- OffLCD - the no. of timeout seconds that S2P will turn off the screen when using battery; default is 25.

- ACOffLCD - the no. of timeout seconds that S2P will turn off the screen when using external power; default is 0 (disabled).

- SaveLastMusic - remember the last playing music when quit; default is 1 (enabled).

- AlwaysLoadAlbumPic - always try to search for an album pic when playing each music file; default is 0 (disabled).

Known limitations & FAQs:

Q. Do I have to install the old version before using this version?

A. No.

Q. How to use the .CAB file?

A. http://www.google.com/search?q=install+cab

Q. Do I have to install S2U2 before installing S2P?

A. No. But if you have installed S2U2, make sure you have updated your S2U2 to 0.99p or later. Otherwise S2P will be stopped by S2U2.

Q. What music files can S2P play?

A. MP3 & OGG.

Q. Will there be other plug-in to support other file formats?

A. Probably.

Q. How to turn off the screen when playing music?

A. Press the Power button or the record button.

Q. How to adjust the auto screen off timeout?

A. Edit the registry - under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2P\, edit the keys OffLCD & ACOffLCD (in seconds). OffLCD is for use when using battery; while ACOffLCD is for external power. The default value of OffLCD is 25 & ACOffLCD is 0.

Q. S2P shows weird characters for the music info?!

A. Try to resave those info in ID3V2.4 format.

Q. How to have cover shown on S2P?

A. Either the music file already has cover pic embedded or you have to copy the cover file (either cover.jpg or folder.jpg) to the corresponding album folder.

Q. Does S2P support A2DP?

A. Yes, as long as your device has a proper OS.

Q. Does S2P support AVRCP?

A. Yes, if your device used Broadcom BT. For others, if you know how to do that or if you have spare time and eager to aid me to find the solution, you can PM me at the xda forum.

Q. Does S2P support playlist?

A. No, not yet.

Q. Does S2P have function similar to CoverFlow?

A. No, not yet.

Q. Does S2P integrated with S2U2?

A. No, not yet.

Q. The system icons on the top bar do not update?!

A. Yes. They only show the start status. But the battery level icon is up-to-date.

Q. Why S2U2, S2V & S2P are all free?

A. Because MS has left them in the factory.

Hi A_C

thanks for another great app

works great with my Eten M700 with WM6

all functions work as described & no freezing

very nice ideas for minimizing & screen off..i like :)

comments:

- scrolling of music list is working but i think can be made smoother like S2V for example, here it feels little jumpy & sluggish (and its not RAM or speed i think on my device)

- waiting for the playlist function (i think that is very important)..and maybe picture flow in te future for covers

THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSS again

@louiedoesit

do a google search about embedding album art before you post, useful links came up all over the first results page for me. no hard feelings, though.

This Lifehacker Post will take care of it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
A_C,

great work.

don't know if this is a bug or intentional, but when I select the initial list of songs from storage card, the song selected will display my embedded cover art fine. However, I press the "song list" button in the upper right hand corner and get a scrollable list. I select a song and it plays but the album art doesn't change, tried many songs. I then press the left upper corner arrow button to get back to the original song list and select a song and it displays the correct album art again.

edit: I think I get the logic. That right upper corner button is "album List", so it assumes you organize all songs in a folder as beeing in the same album, thus changing it this way, the program assumes it is the same album and thus no cover art change. I don't think peoplealwyas organize all songs in a folder with the same album, so I think it should attept to display the cover art of the selected song anyway.

A_C,

version 0.12 = I hadn't problems with the covers of CDs (using folder.jpg).

In other programs, such as MortPlayer, the same songs show all the covers, without problems.

What can be?

Hi have noticed that there is more album art available on ver 0.15.

But still dont show all the art wich is showed in Media player.........

Sounds like you wanna replace all bloody M$ apps by well designed, easy to use and quick ones! Cheers.

ID3 album art works with the same comment already made earlier in the thread (do not change if various songs from different artists are in the same folder). I also noticed that S2V zoom does not work after S2P 0.15 installation. I will check earlier versions.

Excellent app!

I am sure this is going to be THE player if you manage to implement most of the nice ideas listed in this thread.

I agree, as this would be great for listening to podcasts as well!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] del4:
+1

Would also like the left arrow and album list buttons on the side of the track info to be larger as they're currently hard to hit with your thumb.

Given you can use the dpad to go to the next/previous track as well as play/pause the current track, what about an option to not display those three buttons above the volume slider on the bottom of the screen? You could then move the left arrow and album list buttons from the top to this area, allowing room to make them bigger while also allowing room for longer track/album names and/or a larger font to display them.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] del4:
I agree; yet another great S2 app by A_C. Happily using my new default media player!

Well, this looks to have been fixed in 0.15, as I'm not experiencing it after a soft reset, though it did happen once? However, one small irritant is that after S2U2 becomes active and I move the slider to unlock, I am returned to the Today screen. Any way to have it return to S2P if it is running rather than going to the Today screen?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] del4:
small bug

Believe I've found a small bug. When using either the dpad or onscreen buttons to advance to the next track, all works as expected, with the 1st track selected after advancing past the last one. However, the opposite does not work. If you're on the first track and try to go to the previous track, it doesn't wrap around to the last track, as I would expect. A minor thing, but you've already taken care of the big stuff. :D

Thanks again! Can't wait to see v0.20!!!
