That would be great. I'm a huge fan of aosp roms. But I need volte for my daily needs hence sticking with stock based roms
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tofueatsbread:
you should stick to stock then. there wont be any volte.

I've personally never had issues with Google Play Services while rooting my S7 G930F but actually this is my first custom ROM flash and saw this the other day while doing searching on Lineage OS...

https://lineageos.org/Google-Play-Certification/

https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/

Is this now a concern for us?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] iOrpheus06:
Nope. It won't be a problem if you flash magisk, magisk props and some other stuffs to get official device fingerprint on you s7 running LOS.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jkeuclid:
It's not that big a concern to me using finger print verifications on Google, I mainly use 2-step, so if I understand correctly unless I want this (finger prints) on GP then I'd have to install magisk, if not then just install LOS and be done with it? I'm not too familiar with magisk atm.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] zSyntex:
That's because Magisk use Magisk Hide to mask safetyNet and other apps, like Banking etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] iOrpheus06:
You misunderstood some things. By device fingerprint, I meant device identification. The magisk module enables the user to change device ID to the official (signed) one so both cts profile and basic integrity passes on safetynet checks, at the same time fixes the UNCERTIFIED tag on playstore which keeps you from downloading some apps. It has nothing to do with the preferred security on payment of the user.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jkeuclid:
I glossed over that way too quickly, thanks for the clarification. I need more coffee!!

edit: I've been away for too long, so if I understand correctly on Magisk, I start from unrooted scratch as Magisk itself has root, then I would flash LOS? These Magisk modules can they be then f;ashed at any point thereafter?

Can I ask that we try to get native call recording - ACR will not work

Hello Ivan,

Can we please look into this one. Its for enabling native call recording on the phone app (hopefully it is not the google one). Looks like an easy change. Thansk... Look at the post by " Erario".

https://xdaforums.com/lineage/help/native-call-recorder-t3553663/page4
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] john-soda:

It's not difficult to enable call recording, but it's illegal and therefore it will never be enabled in official LineageOS.

So in unofficial it depends on the delevoper.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jkeuclid:
It's only illegal in certain states in us, see below...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_recording_laws
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] iOrpheus06:
I'm afraid I failed to comprehend much of what you're saying. Anyway, I believe you're asking for the steps?

1. Flash los

2. Flash magisk (might cause a few reboots but after stabilizing itself, it should be fine then), this will give you root access now.

After installing magisk, you can then flash the modules you want (if you want those fixes I mentioned, it's best to join the Telegram group for better assistance).

Note: Not all modules will work. Some are incompatible for our device (and some are device-specific)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] _jAV:
@ john-soda & @jkeuclid

I see you guys have the same interest - hopefully. The other option is Xposed. I have just done a fresh install on my s7 but the recording never shows up where it is supposed to be. Wanna try?

If you get it going let me know please. I suppose LOS 15.1 is not yet supported. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jkeuclid:
Sorry it's been a busy day, what I was trying to say is from what I gleaned from Magisk thread that you installed it first on an unrooted device...

".. If you plan to flash a custom kernel, flash it AFTER installing Magisk

Make sure to remove any other root, your best bet would be restoring your boot image back to stock"
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] iOrpheus06:
There's no custom kernels yet so you are probably using the stock kernel included in LOS. But yeah you should remove other root manager before installing magisk.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tarreltje:
[MENTION=4610599]Ivan_Meler[/MENTION] Since we have the official oreo builds, do you think it is posible to get the camera to work for the people with the s7 with sony lenses? Or is it still a no go?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tofueatsbread:
already working out of the box since long ago(i have the sony lense variant). though, there is actually a fix lurking somewhere in the forums/jira. if you cant find it pm me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tarreltje:
I know that the camera app of Los works with sony lenses, but with 3rd party apps like whatsapp and instagram, it isnt! I makes the taking pictures blurry. And yes im aware that you can choose with a bypass the camera app, or take a picture first and then choose it in whatsapp, but that isnt how it should work!

But i should had PM ivan, he is already aware of this particular problem, and wasnt able to fix it for now :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] iOrpheus06:
Most issues written here were solved/answered long ago (and are still being asked, ffs use search)

Reboots- more of it can be caused by magisk. Some modules also add up to the cause. Not using magisk can lessen the occurrences of random reboots. Same goes for gapps packages, only install pico to micro, don't go any larger than micro. And no, autorotation does not **** up the device nor reboot it, at least not on my experience with it.

Fast charging- it works by default and you can't turn it off here, it has been answered many, many times now if you only read or search. Just... Why would you game on your phone while it's fast charging? It's a stupid idea even on stock. Not only do you make your phone hot, but you also mess your battery faster. Standby charging is same as stock in this one, if not faster.

Camera works, you just have to replace the stock camera app with either footej or modded gcam. Footej can record 4k 30fps with no problems, gcam can record 1080p with no problems either.

Video playback - no problem here. Dunno what you were doing with your device that you even have video playback problem with it :eek:

This rom is still on BETA STAGE so expect to experience some bugs, really. And personally, battery, ui fluidity and fps (in games) are better than on stock, again, at least for me.

And yes, I have this rom as my daily driver for 2 months now and never regretted switching.

I avoid being too agressive with my replies but seriously, it seems like you didn't even searched nor asked for tips/help to solve some of these issues. You can't expect everything to work magically on exynos aosp based custom roms but there are workarounds found by the dev or most of the time, users themselves. If you want everything to be working as it should be then stick with touchwiz or samsung experience or whatever you want to call it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tofueatsbread:
taking pictures with whatsapp/instagram with the samsung one doesnt make any difference either xD what are you talking about?

Hello,

Someone could explain to me what the release of Stock Android 8 brings for the development of LineageOS 15.1, concretely? Reverse engineering possibility ? Does it really help for Lineage drivers ?

It's just for my global understanding and general knowledge ..

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ToRRIIDeR:
When the source code of stock s7 is released, alot of the drivers become naturally compatible with the rom because this version of lineage os is based on oreo. This means the high probability of GPS working as well as speed and battery inprovements as developers won't need to find workarounds to get the particular part of the device to be working eg.(camera)

wifi calling

Hello,

Thanks for this rom. I've been wondering if the s7 will get Oreo. I am wondering does this rom support wifi calling?

Thanks.

Dave.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] lladwein:
I dont know if you read the threads here on xda but oreo is official released for S7......

And no, wifi calling and volte is not supported by Los. And will never be.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jkeuclid:
Thanks, I'll await this before installing...

Do you have actual Oreo on your G930F? Updato as yet does not have it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] redjamesg:
Sammobile has it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jkeuclid:
ahh so they do, thanks for responding. I haven't checked them for ages since I don't use them due to pay too d/l so I've used Updato. I'm downloading now from SamMobile at around 400k.

I think I'll play around with Oreo for a bit until Ivan updates and go from there. In general, I've never been a fan of custom ROMs until I came across LOS while researching alternate android OSs so hence why I'm looking at this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] IAmazingI:

Taking pictures with the camera app of LOS , you get like ok / nice pictures

Taking pictures with the camera function of whatsapp or instagram, you get blurry pictures. You can see the pictures is being processed or something, and is added some sort of blur filter.

I will install this rom this weekend and post some pictures so you can see what i trying to say
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tofueatsbread:
dude, i know what you mean. i was referring to the s7/e using samsung camera sensor as you mentioned a workaround for those using the sony sensor(in your first post). im saying theres no difference.

Miniuser's modded gcam. Just turn off "camera.enable_micro" in app's dev setting to fix the freezing. If you want to get the 1080p vid recording to work on gcam, too, enable "enable_h265" in gcam dev settings. Once you get it to work you can work your way through the settings to improve quality
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ToRRIIDeR:
Hi this is a quick review of the ROM.

Really excellent ROM and soon will be the optimised ROM out there I guarantee:).

Peformance :

The speed of the ROM is amazing thanks to the very light nature of the UI and no bloated apps installed. Apps IMHO

Run a lot better in this ROM than touchwiz(Snapchat doesn't lag and apps in general load more smoothly). Playing games here is pretty smooth and no problem in graphics performance however there is a downside which I'll state later on.

Features :

If you are a person looking for features this is not the ROM as it aims to be minimalistic instead of the multiple features Samsung usually like to shove in our face. Fingerprint works better here than TW and there's even face unlock which is quite fast but eats up battery. The main feature of this ROM is the UI. You are not going to find any other ROM that resemble's Google's Material Design concept which on that alone is convincing enough for me think about switching ROMs . The sad thing is that GPS is still not working but with the official Oreo blobs for s7 I'm sure GPS will work.

Battery :

Im running NOTO V200 and battery has been really good to me. On WiFi and 50% brightness I get about 6-7hrs SOT doing casual things NOT including games. If im out the whole day I would get about 3.5-4.5hrs of SOT which is not amazing but nonetheless better than TW. The good part stops when you account games into the mix. When playing games the device heats up like mad and the battery drops dramatically . So if I were playing a game on WiFi I would get about 3hrs SOT which is pretty bad. But for my use battery is very gd.

Conclusion :

Overall an excellent ROM with a great Dev that updates this ROM very often. With the latest sources released, I'm sure that this ROM would be the best one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jkeuclid:
Nice review m8, I'm curious have you had a chance to try out Oreo itself? I had myself yesterday and have to say I frankly didn't care for it, was buggy in areas and had some items I liked in Nougat and before. I couldn't wait to get it the hell off my phone so for you or anyone else who's tried Oreo, how does this ROM compare to Oreo itself? My main interest in this ROM was thru research into alternative OSs (Linux based) for android, with security and privacy in mind to use until next year when I pick up an S10 and this ROM frequently comes up high on most everyone's list. One last thing, is this project related to LineageOS.org in any way? Any thoughts on this would help me greatly on this, thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ToRRIIDeR:
Yes I have use TW Oreo and its pretty bad for almost everything Lol. I had a batt config and had 3hrs sot with WiFi... And performance is terrible with alot of stuttering. But I've seen people with high sot on stock Oreo ROM so hope is not lost. The thing is that stock Oreo has all the proper code to make all the functions of the app to work so it is definitely better than finding workarounds to get Oreo on the S7. So I'm hopefull to say that this ROM will become more optimised. And answering ur last QN idts.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] zSyntex:
This ROM is unofficial, but it works like an Official. Probably we'll wait few months before get the official status.

However, if you search for a ROM with updated patch, good battery and AOSP, go for it.

If you'd like to take nice photo, good audio etc. you need a Stock based, nowadays. ;)

Just installed this am, LOS/GAPPS(micro)/Magisk 16.4 and so far it looks great but I'm still learning my way around this atm.

Priority one

, I installed Titanium Backup but my menu is missing and need to get this rectified asap as I have many backups that I need to re-enable, thanks.

Other things, Firefox says is missing some libraries, also can we assign custom message tones in contacts as we could pre-Oreo? I'm not seeing where atm and would be a major deal breaker for me unfortunately....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tofueatsbread:
as for TB, enable nav bar and go abck to TB app. once ure done disable nav bar. btw if you have lags or glitches after restoring TB backups dont blame the rom/complain here. just saying.

I don't know about FF, but u can set custom messgae tones in message app. select a chat and go to "People and options" or something like that. you can set custom tones there.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jkeuclid:
thanks teddy, which nav bar in TB? if so I don't see this...

before I read your reply, I managed to get to TiB "Preferences" via the "Problems?" button in the "Overview" tab but the when I correctly directed it to my backups folder, I go back and there are no apps listed at all so not sure what that's all about so I'll reinstall TiB an see what happens there...

Update: I fixed TiB with a reinstall, menu was there and apps are showing...

Enable "enable_h265" in developer settings of modded gcam, then set video res to 1080p then reopen gcam. As for me, only 120fps works, in 240fps the viewfinder blacks out ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tofueatsbread:
i meant navbar in settings app.

also, the backups thing is related to giving permissions to sdcard or you can backup to extsdcard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jkeuclid:
Ok, so far I'm really starting to dig this ROM, seems pretty smooth and fast and is chocked full of options I'm still discovering. I'm still learning where and how to configure many things and have most of what I'm used to set up now. I am curious about Samsung SmartSwitch and if this is compatible, and also how do we zoom with the default camer where I was used to assigning the vol keys for this or if not what is a decent alternative. Lastly, I can't seem to assign a home screen page to be default Home.

Kudos to Ivan_Meler for all the work, I haven't had this much fun since buying this phone a year ago.

I've noticed occasionally the boot-up seems to go on and on until I hit the download sequence of buttons and then it'll finally get to the sign in screen, what might be the cause of this? My install order was LOS/GAPPS/Magisk 16.4..

Also, how do we clean the system analogous to "Device Maintenance" which isn't compatible, will there be similar capability or is it even necessary with this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] iOrpheus06:
As for Device Maintenance-like system cleaning, SD Maid is pretty similar, if not, better than the built-in. Please do note that only its pro mode has the scheduler feature (which is worth it for the price, imho.)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jkeuclid:
Just to be clear, what is the correct install order? Mentioned in parts of this thread seem to contradict this, LOS/GAPPS/Magisk as the developer mentions in the first post or LOS/Magisk then GAPPS? Is it imperative to use Magisk or can we use SuperSU, of course without any benefit of Magisk modules and what other Magisk versions have worked other than micro, thanks.

the first time I did this, my install order was LOS, GAPPS immediately afterwards without booting and then Magisk (in my case 16.4). It went well but I did experience fairly frequent long boots, where I'd have to interrupt it with pressing Vol-up/home/power and then it would finally get me to the menu so I'm curious as to what might have caused this behavior, anything within the install order or perhaps using 16.4 Magisk rather than 16.0 who knows.

Lastly, I saw early in the thread dual booting mentioned and I've researched this some, but haven't quite found the defacto current app that works with S7 and modern OSs. In it's current overall form I can't run LOS as my daily driver but am interested plenty (smoother in many respects, options galore) to experiment with it further along side my current Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] lladwein:
1. Rom

2. Gapps (use Pico or nano, nothing more)
