[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
I have to agree that "vanilla" LOS 15.1 consumes 2.5%/h average and that could be more, that depends on usage style. Currently I have 2.1%/h after watching 2 hours on Amazon, but before it was at 1%/h. While I'm working, I rarely look at my smartphone. I use it more after work, WhatsApp and browsing. Over night I set my phone to plane mode draining at 0.5%/h. The good thing is that while currently Bluetooth is not working, I have more power left and drain is reduces noticeably.

I just use AppOps to control all user Apps, in relation to Wakelock, connecting to things or get a GPS signal. Mostly related to privacy, but why should an App be running all the time? I don't touch system Apps in AppOps, even if I could.

In addition to that I control my Wakelocks and Alarms with Amplify. It took me a while to get a good config. The configuration reduces Wakelocks and Alarms, but it is not limiting the usability or the performance. The phone feels snappy and fast like the first day.. Even better.

In addition to that I use Substratum Black Theme, but I try to use as less as possible of that theme. Most Apps come by default with a black theme.

Nothing more. I use Magisk for root, no Magisk Modules that promise performance. Moreover I use Xposed Framework to run Amplify.

I don't believe in Greenify so that's it.

Oh the App "Auto Brightness" is very helpful to control the brightness properly. On stock it seams like most people are blind, or the need to use the Phone as a flash light..

how did you do to make the gear s3 work with s7? I can't even install the galaxy awearable app...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
Do you have root? Did you get the message that your ROM changed unauthorized? If yes, this message means that the App has not the INSTALL_PACKAGES permission. This is not a permission that can be granted via adb, I guess that this is only possible if the App is shipped via the Stock ROM. Would be interesting if you could install the App on stock, after removing the App with Titanium. So the App checks that permission if your ro.product.manufacturer is Samsung in Build.prop

The most easy solution is to change the manufacturer name to something different like htc. Most people also recommend to change ro.product.name to htc, too. I haven't seen, that it is checked by the App, but feel free to test it.

If you have magisk as root solution I recommend MagiskHide Props that change build.prop systemless and has the ability to change fingerprints in order to verify phone in play store.

If anyone has an idea of how to grant this app the INSTALL_PACKAGES permission, one could use the App without changing build.prop.

If you give this permission via App Info it does not work, even if you systemize the App.

Is there anyone can give me the 2019.02.03 version's link? I can't connect my fit bond via bluetooth, but the 2019.02.03 version can do this.

If it helps, here's an older build that I've been using (along with MindTheGapps) for a while:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=14XPf9-EsxojSr_T_bCU2cDYkMgHiYMuR

It's the build from 10 January 2019. Phone calls, aside from using the loudspeaker, work well. Also, bluetooth works nicely. The one and only (slightly) annoying problem is that it hot reboots at least twice a week. However, I found it to be quite usable.

Is there a way to enable always on ambient, I tried the substratum overlay but it doesn't work properly
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
Do you mean the '[Substratum] Always On Enabler'? I lt worked for me and if you don't need the Always option, the Ambient display is good, too.

whenever i turn the screen off it works, but when I try to turn screen again, the screen turns black and I need to restart to turn it off again from the settings
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
This is what is written on the play store for that App. It's beta so this are the negative side effects. Nothing wrong with LOS.

In the past I used the App 'Always On Amoled - Beta'. It is a good alternative to the official implementation.

downgrade to prior version

hi there, i've hot downgraded (no wipe) to the previous version (with bluetooth working) and wasn't able to unlock post reboot (looped back to lock screen after successful pin entry) Is it possible to no wipe downgrade?

I'm on latest twrp, basedband g935fxxu3erje
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
If it helps, I use Swift Backup to backup all Apps with Data on my SD card, it also allows to backup calls and SMS and even WiFi Networks. Most things that seems to be backup-able on Titanium Backup have no influence on the restore side and moreover I am in fear to restore things that changed during a ROM update. So Swift Backup is a good alternative. If you backup all Apps and wipe your phone afterwards (pay attention to the backup location), you only need to download Swift Backup from Play Store and restore all Apps from there.

However I would be happy to have a more advanced solution. I still need 2 hours of intensive care to restore everthing and I am busy some more hours to change these little here's and there's in the settings.. At least I have not to do this stuff in my Apps, because Swift restores all App settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] marvad.one:
If it helps.. [emoji6]

Titanium Backup let's you create a flashable zip But it requires you to be selective in restoring system settings (like always).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] little_moose:
Generally speaking, upgrading or downgrading ROM versions without a wipe (often called dirty flashing) is a bad idea. Even if it doesen't result in a bootloop right away, you may get weird problems later on.

When I want to perform an upgrade, I usually use the "backup all user apps" option from Titanium Backup, perform a clean install of the ROM (i.e. wipe and install) and finally install Titanium Backup and use "restore missing apps". As long as you don't backup or restore system apps, this method should work well. I've been using it for the last 6 years across different devices and ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] juan.buys:
yeah, i also use tibackup and have done so successfully since the SIII, it's just a pita to backup/restore (less than losing the whole lot though). At the moment I'm living without bluetooth, but kinda need it for various devices, I do hope it gets sorted in the next revision. Thank you for the responses, guess I'll have to take the time to backup/wipe/downgrade/restore to get the functionality back. bah humbug. I know it's not related to Ivan's Lineage (which is awesome) Darned Febsec update....

What's the problem with that?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Tbcdevil:
My experience with current build 0403

Still bluetooth headphone issue.

Looks to me that it's some kind of range issue.

In line of sight 1 meter away no problems.

But when the phone is inside my pocket or jacket it looses connection. Constantly finding and dropping that signal. This issue wasn't noticable with the January build.

My Bluetooth headset is the Amazon soundpeats Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Headset True Wireless TWS.

Problem with micro sd card

I have inserted a 256gb micro sd card into my S7 Edge. I find that the default file manager does not always display the contents of the sd card. The card are shown under the options in the file manager but no files are shown when the option to display the card contents is ticked. Reboot and the problem is solved - for a while anyway. The problem is recurring and irritating. Sd card file format is Extended FAT file system from the factory.

Happens in LOS 15.1 and LOS 16.

Will formatting the sd card file system to ext4 file system make any difference?

Thanks

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this previously here or if I'm just doing something wrong; but no root method seems to stick for me.

Hey!!

I use lineageos 15.1 for quite a long time now and its awesome. The only problems i have are the recording quality and the camera quality. Are these problems fixed in the newest stable build from 17.03.19?

If its not, i dont need to upgrade.

Greetings from germany!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] wurstherpes:
Use open camera from Playstore and activate API in settings.

The quality is the same as 15.1 or 16.

The stock camera is a part from framework and samsung secret.

The Quality would improve if Samsung released the Source code.

Official LineageOS 15.1 build?

Hi Ivan_Meler, first of all, thank you for your good work.

I was happy to use 14.1 since I've got automatic updates through the LineageOS page. Now it seems the builds have stopped for a reason I actually could not find out.

It would be nice to have more information at one place and not scattered around all over the internet, since it is not easy to track all the development. Most of us are non-developers and don't use JIRA or Telegram. I've looked for recent information and could not find anything.

I know the HWC is broken in LineageOS 16 and probably won't get fixed soon so I avoid to buy or recommend any Samsung phone atm.

But what about this ROM? LineageOS 15.1 seems to be fine as far as I could read in the bug-list or in the thread. Why not to build it officially as an intermediate step?

If you could spend some time and push 15.1 into the build system, I'll be glad to help you with a small amount for your work. Even if 15.1 is not perfect, neither the version 14 was. So why not to go for 15.1 and be closer to the most recent builds?

Regards

Hi dear friend; [MENTION=4610599]Ivan_Meler[/MENTION]

Thank you so much for this project.

May i ask for help about some issues.

I have random freezes most of when wifi connecting. (After ip obtained)

I don't know why.? But same after wifi turned off.

5 seconds or a little bit more freeze time.

Also some times random soft reboots after freezes or on-call

I use viper4android and i set it to "compatible mode" so i see that most of freeze gone. But still have a few less freezes.

I tried to get logs. (But i am not sure if i did it well)

I will be happy if can i learn about any fix?

Thanks you so much.

Best regarda.

Take care. Bye.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] little_moose:
I have been using this ROM for some time, and I can say that the battery life is comparable to stock. Just don't judge it based on the first few days of usage; it'll get better after around a week or so.

and as this was a major update and i still have to clean few things out in pie as this was major update which along the other things fixed hwc and general performance) in the meeantime you can download oreo build in the op, here is a brief changelog

small bug: "double tab to wake" OVERRIDES "prevent accidental wakeup(proximity)!

userfix: install gravitybox and enable "proximity wake-up" which is essentially the same but works ..

but obviously thats not the perfect solution ... codewise it should be that doubletab to wake and the whole hardware screen/touchsensor should be turned off completely as long as the proximity sensor detects, that its inside a bag !

that would also save quite a bit of battery

thanx for listening

another small bug: the audiorecoring has constant problems , which you can hear as small blips or cracks(use audio recorder) , thats so minimal that its no problem in a call or whatsapp audio message BUT its a problem if you record a video and play it back over a stereo ...

i had these same blips in asio applications on the pc , it happens when the dpc latency becomes too high or on very minimal buffer underruns (big buffer underruns sound like robot voice)..

maybe the audio thread just needs more juice/priority ... (also the playbacksound overall is a bit "wooden" or muffled compared to the stockrom)

New builds are up not a big changelog in this one as its mostly maintainance build with security updates

13.06.2019.

- upstreamed kernel to 3.18.140

- Updated to June 2019 security update

- Updated to May 2019 vendor (samsung side) security update

- bsp side performance updates

And here is a little behind the scenes of whats going on with development right now

I managed to get 4.14 kernel to boot on the s7 (serial console as of right now so it didnt boot to gui)

what does this mean? this means longer support for the device, performance improvements and better security

When will this be available for others to test?, Unfortunately not so soon as i said it only goes to serial console (thru uart) right now

and pretty much everything is broken just getting it to boot was a big step and ill try to get thing with that kernel sorted during summer

Also i would like to thank everyone who donated as it helps with the server costs which also helped with progress that will hapen, this rom will never

have exclusive group for donators like some roms and it will never become one of those paid roms a lot of people started releasing

But as stated previously donations are greatly appreciated as they help with keeping everything running
